Zoli:
Last summer the hottest place on the planet was here, in BC(over 50°C, IIRC).
And this is the current situation:

Fuck you, Zoli. Very cordially, of course. :-DD

Yeah; we're supposed to get the same after the humidity breaks with tonight's thunderstorms. Temps will climb starting tomorrow with a high of 96/70%RH Wed & Thurs. Which is exactly when they're supposed to be coming to work on the AC. In the attic. :o
Who wants to start a pool on how long it takes them to piss off somewhere else and what the excuses will be...? :-DD

I'm expecting a call tomorrow night rescheduling til some time next week "due to overruns at a current job". :P

It's freaking 27°C in my living room according to the built-in thermostat in the heater, which is normally lethally high for me (anything above 18°C is uncomfortable for me... hate heat), but somehow I am still alive. Probably because the air is very dry, luckily, zero sweat. Of course I am naked in my living room and take cold showers every now and then, come out soaking wet out of the shower and straight in front of the fan in the living room... physics does the rest and cools me down.

Now I feel a bit ashamed for complaining about only having half my AC working; still better than your lot with that heat and none at all. :-[
Take care of yerself, brother. As someone who grew up on a farm with a fish pond right out back of the house, I know from personal experience that there's only a few things stink worse than a dead frog baking in the sun. :-DD
Unless it's a dozen of 'em. :o

No, this really happened when I was like 12. To this day still a total :wtf: happened...

COMPONENT SORTING
ANother DIP8 to pick your brain, if you know what it is / datasheet :
It's marked " C81DC ".
Again somehow Aliexpress has one for sale :
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005001738808933.html
But the ad doesn't say what it is, so not much help.
All Goolge can tell me is that most likely, this chip is made by Toshiba, and maybe it's an analog / Linear IC, and maybe just maybe, it could have something to do with fast signals like video signals, most likely in consumer gear I imagine...
Also possible, not sure, that this C81DC a code and not the actual part number, which does not help.
The winner gets a bucket load of ice cubes.

All I can gather is that " KSS " is the name of the manufacturer, whoever that is.
IF anyone knows what KSS does for a living and has a datasheet for this thing, before I add it to my "destined to the trash bin" pile, well that would be nice...

American KSS was bought by AVX in 2004. It's quite likely some sort of filter or oscillator.
That site has data sheets for some other KSS chips, if you register.
Joseph Fourier, who came from your general neck of the woods, had a thing about heat. He made significant contributions to the theory of heat flow, amongst other things. He also believed that the hotter he was the better his brain worked. He was often found in the middle of summer, wearing heavy clothing with a blazing log fire, working at his mathematics.
