PSA: That $80 thermal imager for your phone is a total waste

Bought one to spot heat leaks in fridge compressors, but the resolution is so bad it just shows a big blurry blob. It can't even tell the difference between a warm capacitor and the actual hot motor windings. Anyone have a real budget tool that actually works for this?

Spot the same cheap-out trend in phone chargers and bluetooth speakers honestly.

Remember when chargers used to last for years? Now mine fray after a few months, it's so annoying lol.
