Anything else I should check?
Look at IR reflections on matte steel surfaces - you'll probably find that the longer wavelengths get reflected quite well on a surface that is matte in visible light.
Ooh let me see if I have any at all
Stainless steel surfaces in the kitchen are usually a candidate - kitchen hood, front panel of the oven, the side of the microwave, the freezer, something like that.
Ohh yeah, the hood vent should do. Will check tomorrow!
About 70% of your pizza is 70° hot!
I found an uninsulated stud space in my friend's house using one of these. He couldn't figure out why the room was always cold, they are neat
I’ve seen FLIR thermal cam attachments for your phone not but a phone itself. Is that what you mean?
No, it's a CAT s62 phone with built in FLIR
$300 for a phone with flir sounds like a good deal considering flir cameras are 300 and up

Great way to check for roof leaks after a rain
I have 3 glassbottles in my fridge, that I use for filling up my water bottle I carry around. I have a pixel 8 pro with a thermometer. And I use it to check which bottle have the coldest water if Iam I doubt.
I want a phone with a thermal imager but I'm worried it would be a shit phone if I did because it'll be a 10 year old industrial affair
How important is it to have it built in? Could just get a FLIR add-on module
Yeah. There's also separate cameras you can get that plug in with usb-c to the side of your phone.
I bought one just to check equipment after I've run it all day. Checking the baler and combine for bad bearings periodically will hopefully prevent an expensive fire.
I would have endless amounts of fun with this

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
