this is really cool

my parents have an egg boiler looks almost like this one
https://www.soft-electronics.com/object/philips_egg_boiler_1981?subcat=egg%20boiler&grid=

it didnt have a switch, it just went BRRRRRRRRRRRRR when the water boiled off and you had to pull the plug. so dad cut the cable and put a switch there, way less stresful. it still goes BRRRRRR but we can turn it off faster and still get perfect eggs

the cup there, it has three scales printed on it for hard medium & soft boiled depending on how many eggs (less water for more eggs, and less water for softer eggs, im guessing the BRR trigger is when the pan is dry?)

anyway we do itt perfect every time, even since the scales wore off and we just eyeball the water

probably the same way rice cookers detect when the rice is "done"; water boiling off keeps it from heating up past a certain point, once the water's gone there's nothing stopping it so brrrrrrrrrr

much like making candy, the temp of the whatever represents how done it is so a rice cooker just has to detect a certain temp and it knows it’s done


idk it wasn’t obvious to me when I learned water boils at 100C but you can’t heat water in a pot past 100c it’s impossible.

and so conversely if you measure a volume of something with water in it you can derive its concentration or doneness

i will honestly claim: i don't think anyone properly explained to me that water boiling at a 100 degrees also by the way evaporation works meant that as long as you had liquid water you wouldn't exceed 100 degrees.

i eventually learned it by getting into cooking properly in my late 30s.

same reason why ice in water (at equilibrium) is exactly 0 degree and won’t deviate until either all ice has melted or all water has frozen

strictly you can heat water above 100 or below 0 and keep it liquid, you can do it in a microwave and create a future steam explosion or a cool tiktok where someone taps a bottle of water and it freezes in front of you. which is why I said in a pot in case someone :actually: me

Yeah it's a magnetic latch thingy that loses its magnetism thingy at 100C, give or take a few. so once your water's gone and isn't dissipating tons of energy via evaporation, it crosses the threshold and pops loose and turns it off. It's super clever

any time i wanna copy data between two 3 1/2 disks, i have to disconnect the external drive and reboot.

still don't have a way to copy between two 5 1/4 disks tho

whats it hooked up to? if by external you mean usb, then just image the 5 1/4 disk with dd, pop in a new disk, then write the image

or is there some reason that wouldn't work

write a program that writes an image of the 5.25" floppy to one of the 3.5" disks. then insert a new 5.25" and write the image back

you could definitely do this in basic
