I also saw where they used a graphic of the entire US when the study only encompasses 1 county in California.

Look at the map this is just higher near larger population, Correlation vs. Causation. This smells like bull shit.
- Comment on Is this soldered controller repairable by an amateur? 5 weeks ago:
It’s a “safety capacitor” used across AC, similar to a Y cap, they have a known failure mode that is designed to not cause fire.
- Comment on Is this soldered controller repairable by an amateur? 5 weeks ago:
Honestly this is not worth the risk, It looks like a simple enough repair a high watt resister a cap and possibly an IC (U1 looks burnt) BUT consider this, something happened to cause the failure and that something could still be around, like a short in the heating element of the throw. Whoever designed this obviously did not test the failure mode of the device. The reason things are UL rated (other certs for non US) is that they get tested and found to not fail in a manor that will cause harm to the user or fire. The failure mode of this device could cause a fire, if you repair it and the same thing happens. . . . Don’t risk it, Toss it out.

It’s a i5-8600 3.14 Mhz 6-core.
as others have said it’s a pre release sample for testing and might have bugs but the QP4W tells you the processor type

- Comment on Reverse Osmosis water system for sink and fridge 5 months ago:
I’ve got this one for almost 4 year and have been happy with it.

I have it hooked up to the fridge and a RO tap by the sink. a couple of things I would tell you is get a bigger tank that what it comes with (2.5 gal). And don’t install it under the sink because it’s hard to get at the filters to change them and the pump can be noisy when refilling the tank.
