Is this really true? Pipes, heat exchangers and motors all have lots of copper. Why would a camera have a lot of copper in it?
Google is not being helpful and just returning results of this meme. There is a story out of Houston implying they do not have a lot of copper. And a story out of Honolulu that's pretty ambiguous.
You'd think they basically just be a digital camera, a big lens, power supply, hardwired internet. So I mean I guess you could just cut and harvest the power line, but that will eventually lead down the pole and into concrete. The internet line is apparently fiber optic in many cases.
Google? Not providing helpful results in 2024???
:O
Did they try adding glue to it?
I'm sorry to go against the echo chamber but it's clearly user error in this case. they were probably looking for results relevant to what they put into the search field when they're supposed be looking for ads.
Oh, THAT'S what that is! Oooooooh, ok. Yeah. That makes sense. Couldn't be a bunch of out of touch CEOs with more money than brains leading us down the worst possible path in the pursuit of profits by any means needed. That's why they get paid the big bucks!
......................................I swear I've posted messages with 10x more sarcasm, and I was mistaken for being sincere, and starting a fight. So if it's not blatently obvious by my words and tone, apperently we now need to point out sarcasm on the internet. So this is me letting you know I'm agreeing with you, and egging the joke on.
I swear society sucks today. I guess they sucked yesterday too. Probably will suck tomorrow too.
to be fair, you need to point out sarcasm because some people lost the plot so hard that there are genuine comments that go beyond your wildest sarcastic ones.
just like how Don't Look Up was supposed to be an over the top satire of climate/science deniers but by the time that movie came out that side already went way beyond the level of crazy they could even satirically depict.
musk fans who had a terrible time with the cybertruck still acting like it's the best thing ever is another example. satire is dead because real people are crazier.
Definitely, I would be shocked if there's more than a pound of copper in that camera assembly. It's all low voltage electronics.
Picture is of an archaic camera. New cameras have no lbs of copper. Maybe oz
Cameras from the 90s, maybe. New cameras don't even weigh 5lbs.
The housing is probably pretty heavy and there may be a back up battery. But unless there is a powerful motor somewhere to turn the camera (unlikely) then yeah there's only going to be a few ounces of copper.
