  • The energy wouldn’t be lost, most of it would be used to heat the inside of the oven itself; and the air inside it, some of which can escape I guess, but that won’t make much difference whether there’s a pan or not.

    However the pan itself needs to be heated up as well - or maybe not “needs to”, but will regardless, and that’s energy that will go into the pan instead of the rest of the oven.

    So if anything, the whole thing will heat up slower because there’s more cold metal. It will also cool down slower after the heat is turned off, because there’s more hot metal.

    If you’re not sure, take the question to an extreme: an empty oven vs. one with a huge 100kg block of metal inside it. Which one will heat up faster?


  • AliExpress is completely fine, nothing sketchy about it in principle. You can find trash on it since it’s a very open marketplace, making it the same as Amazon or eBay.

    Except that unlike Amazon, AX doesn’t copy their sellers’ products just to sell them under their own brand and kick the sellers out, nor does it sign monopolistic pacts with Apple. Workers treatment is about the same I guess… So correction, less sketchy than Amazon or eBay.

    Wish specialises in dogshit and review manipulation though. Not good for anything more than a phone case, and I’d rather buy those on AX anyway.


  • I didn’t even know you can partition a card like that… But when I had a card with some problems and was trying different things to recover it, I learned Android refuses to mount a card as internal storage if it was messed with in any way, such as trying to clone the card onto another (unless they’re 100% identical I guess) or doing any sort of partitioning. It will just refuse to mount or even acknowledge it.

    And since it’s not mounted, it won’t show up in any way, including through adb. The only thing available in the phone is to reformat it. Maybe with root you could do more, idk.

    Maybe you can revert the partitioning with a separate SD card reader in your computer.

    Ed: Btw another thing is that SD cards in general aren’t meant to be partitioned in the first place, since they don’t have their own controller or driver or whatever it is that can receive and interpret such commands. So if you partition an SD card, most OSs will recognise only one partition. Why even is there an adb command to partition, I don’t know, but it’s hardly good for anything practical imo.
