Been thinking about replacing the current smartphone, as the touchscreen seems to be failing(Screen replacement seems to be not so economic).
Saw different colours being offered. Black, White, Blueish and Greenish colours were common.
Does the external body colour affect the efficiency of the phone? Like, in heat going out or going in? Or the ease of cleaning it? White colours seem to show presence of dust etc?
And are there other places where the colour matters?
I’ve read that white roofs generally have a lower heat gain than other ones(without infrared reflecting paint).
Red ones go faster.
Is this a movie reference?
No, just a pre-internet meme about red cars.
Google Star Trek Red Shirts
This is a reference to Warhammer 40k, a tabletop gaming / book / video game franchise
The Orkz in the setting paint their war trucks red because they believe it makes them go faster. And it does, in fact, make them go faster
Note that it makes them go faster directly because the orcs believe it does, they are a collectively psychic species, so if enough of them believe something, then it’s true.
Just like one smart boy writing engine on a rock. When enough Orks believe the rock is an engine it will in fact become an engine.
Which confused the shit out of humans when they go to reverse engineer ork stuff.
That’s why my work phone is always yellow.
The number of misconceptions from this allusion far exceeded my expectations.
