This viral TikTok hack explains how to make your fan blow extra cold ... (cosmopolitan.com)

If you have a home fan but it's not feeling cold enough, this TikTok hack involving a bowl of ice may be exactly what you need to make your fan blow colder ...

Although, if you ask us, this feels slightly more 'don't try this at home!' and maybe it's best to stick with the bowl of ice in front of the fan to be on the safe side... Next, you can decant that ice block into another, roomier container and place it in front of the fan. As well as advising their 18 million followers to keep the blinds and curtains shut in their home all day, to block the heat from coming in, @onlyjaysus (real name Bella Avila) shared a trick that just requires a bowl of ice.

Raspberry Pi 4 fan tamed - tiny update (Electronics Weekly)

As a nice-to-have update, the Raspberry Pi fan controller got a user-interface update in the form of a tiny 3d-printed 2mm thick front panel (ball-point.

Ps, currently in the second-fastest (‘…’) position, it is barely audible and running at between 42 and 46°C at the moment. The annotations are 1mm deep pits filled with white marker pen – which got all over the place and seeped into the rough texture of the nominally black bits, hence the unattractive combination of black ball-point and felt-tip trying to cover the residual white. As a nice-to-have update, the Raspberry Pi fan controller got a user-interface, in the form of a tiny 3d-printed 2mm thick front panel (ball-point pen in photo for scale).

F1 must act hard on abuse - no fan should ever attend a GP and not ... (autosport.com)

OPINION: Going to a Formula 1 race should be an unforgettable experience, but reports of abuse and harassment pervaded the Austrian Grand Prix and turned ...

For us guys who’ve had that, and it was always seen as banter, we just need to have a bit of a mind shift.” If we want to make F1 a more tolerant, accepting and inclusive series, then we all have to be pulling in the right direction. All tracks and promoters are able to track the demographics of fans who are buying their tickets, and will note the surge in female and young fans attending races. F1 has been clear in its push to make the series more inclusive and diverse to better reflect the wider world. Identifying the perpetrators of abuse is harder at open events compared to football matches, for example. If people have a good time and drink too much that’s OK, but it doesn’t justify or excuse wrong behaviour.” But for such behaviour to stretch to F1, where simply supporting a different driver was justification for some to hurl abuse and ruin weekends, is deeply sad and so wrong. This is a stupid, “brainless” minority, to quote Toto Wolff, who was forthright in his message to them: “Whoever reads my sentence: stay away. The Austrian Grand Prix is regarded as being one of the best-run of the F1 season. Or abused because of who you love or the colour of your skin. It’s something you’ve saved up for ages to do, something you’ve had firmly put in the diary, booking your flights and hotels. The tagline used around the Red Bull Ring was: “Life is better at a race track."

Lifetime bans - The 'hard actions' F1 drivers want on fan abuse - The ... (The Race)

Formula 1 drivers were united in condemning the sexual harassment and verbal abuse reported by fans during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend.

“It does put like a little bit of a downer on what should be just a fun, good-feel weekend, from start to finish. He referred to them as “the one percent”. “And of course, as Formula 1, if we manage to find these people, we need to take hard actions. “The sport polarises and triggers emotion, we want that. They were hardcore [fans] and they drank, but still no booing. It didn’t actually do anything; there was no funding towards anything; there was no programme to actually create change and spark that conversation. “I don’t say this as an excuse, but also these things can be regulated. And no alcohol can excuse that. All in. And sometimes when you drink alcohol, you can do stupid things. “Just saying is not enough. ‘We Race as One’ was all good and well, but it was just words.

We race as one, so the fans are a part of that.” Just because there’s a few drunk, dumb-a**** out there that haven’t comprehended how the world goes today, we shouldn’t condemn the 99.9% of the fans that come here.

UK heatwave: Cost of running an electric fan all night as energy bills ... (Mirror.co.uk)

The country could be about to record it's hottest-ever day, but Brits are being warned that using a fan overnight can seriously rack up your energy bills, ...

There's a 30% probability we will get heat in the high 30s, which would break the UK's hottest temperature on record. Chill a pair of socks in the fridge and putting them on before bed Create a DIY air conditioner by putting a bowl of ice in front of a fan But even the cost of running a fan is tiny compared to air conditioning units. Of course, if you don't want to use a fan - or discover you can't get one - there are other ways to stay cool. But how much does it cost to keep a fan on all night if you're struggling to keep cool?

How much running a fan at night costs and other methods to keep ... (Scottish Daily Record)

One way to keep cool is to pop on an electric fan by your bed - but what does that mean for your electric bills? Auto energy switching service Migrate estimates ...

A portable air con unit costs around 28p an hour in energy costs - that's £19.60 if you use it every night for a week. And it looks like using a fan at night may not be a good idea for our bills, with one price comparison site saying that it could cost over £2 a week to run. Revellers in Glasgow managed to enjoy a scorching 29.3C on Sunday, July 10, and it looks like the nice weather is set to continue for the rest of the week, despite cooling down.

UK Heatwave: How much running a fan for a night costs and why ... (Edinburgh Live)

As temperatures are set to remain hot in Edinburgh, experts are warning of the cost cooling devices can add to the average energy bill as a new price cap ...

Make sure to unplug your fan and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions before opening the guard or attempting to clean the fan. Always ensure your fan is plugged in securely, and if you notice any smell of burning or unusual noises, turn it off immediately. Always clean your vents to ensure your fan works efficiently and is kept in good use. The free Loop Snoop can help you easily identify the culprits draining your energy and adding pounds to your bills.” It may be tempting to keep the cool air flowing as the nights become humid, but households risk putting themselves at risk if a fault occurs with their device while they are sleeping. Loop calculations show these could add around £50 to your monthly energy bills if used for four hours a day – and even more if you forget to switch them off. “At first glance, these costs may not seem that high on an hourly basis, but they can really add up if you’ve got a few devices running or you forget to switch them off. But as energy bills are set to rise, on top of the 54 per cent price cap to around £3,000 a year, it would be wise to know how much running a fan will cost you. For those thinking about plugging in an extra fridge to keep drinks cool over the three months of summer, they can expect an added £25 to bills. Meanwhile, a family of four, each using a 40w fan in their bedroom at night rather than an air conditioning unit, could add £11 per month, or £33 over summer, to the household’s energy bill. They warn that using an AC unit to keep cool could cost a whopping 55 times extra more on electric in comparison to the standard fan. This cost rises to over £13 per day for homes with a swimming pool that uses a pool heater.
