On which scale? Because that kinda matters.
Celsius? Kinda hot but not necessarily deadly.
Kelvin? You've turned your city into an air fryer.

We're really ought to come up with a variant of the Darwin Award, tailored specifically for billionaires - like how the Herman Cain Award was created for COVIDiots.
Plagiarism should only ever be counted for explicitly unique sentences that provide actual value.
It's actually an ongoing debate in software engineering, due to licensing, as to what you can consider "stolen code" - i.e. plagiarism.
In fact things went as far as to some companies employing AI-aided automatic cease-and-desist deliveries on GitHub, but the system was so badly configured, it detected even the most basic logic bits as license infringement. Things that are standardised in software development - like, for example, for loops, that happened to have generic parameter names (e.g if you were to create a graphic subsystem for displaying Views, whatever the primary implementation may be, you'd iterate through all views with a for loop, making it a generic call such as for(val view in views) { [do something here] }).
Well this AI aided detector was so brilliant that it detected such minute coincidences of codebases as legitimate violations (as if any company could copyright generics), and sent these spurious C&Ds to dozens of git repos. What's even worse is that the initial company's codebase used some open source libraries that were directly attacked... for being 100% copies of their own codebase.
IMO as long as the code/sentence isn't a provably unique statement, plagiarism shouldn't apply. A whole paragraph having 80%+ similarity to something unique? Now that's worrying enough to investigate.

You'll also find that LLMs are actually quite useful in putting together scripts that will take all the photographed pages, and convert them to a proper EPUB format (using OCR, direct extraction of images, etc.), reducing the overall size and improving quality.
Visual models can even create custom CSS for you, and if there are graphs and such, LaTeX can be utilised as well.
All the tools exist separately and LLMs can write that binding glue easily.
Worth a try especially if the textbook is (regular) text heavy.
Also included in this: the thousands upon thousands of mobile games that are literally the same exact game with minor asset switching.
Like, 99% of those "town/castle/whatever building" games that have fixed locations for buildings etc., they're all based on maybe 2-3 white label game "engines" that are ready to be re-labelled with new assets, new logos, new story (even though the story events driving it are the same, the "side dish" storytelling changes minimally).
This also goes for pretty much any game format that becomes trending. You can bet your tushie that the moment a game format is even just borderline popular... there will be a dozen or so Chinese software houses copying the mechanics and looks and behaviour, and within a week you can buy a white label version of it for a few thousand dollars.
Yes.
More and more common personal things are being electronised - toothbrushes, shavers/razors, water picks, just to name a few from the bathroom, but there's also the tons of various nightstand bits, kitchen utilities (I actually have a handheld stick blender/whisk that uses USB-C, as well as a milk frother), the list goes on.
If it's a low power device (sub-100W charging/supply), USB-C should be mandatory for it.
Yes I know USB-C can now do 240W but it's not widespread yet and people would be annoyed by the fact their €5 10W charging brick can't make their 200W thingie work.
Just to clarify here, @tuff_wizard@aussie.zone means TRaSH Guides not that the guides are trash.
I have to concur by the way, aside from a handful Hungarian private trackers, I too use pretty much the same public trackers (with a few added from Prowlarr's built in list for specific subtopics).
You'd think so, but without specifying the scale... it could be anything. ANYTHING!
