No one will want it. It makes ignoring necessary safety protocols impossible if the problem is so visible

Hey heyyyy, Switzerland on the front page, and it's neither a scenic view, nor because we did a racism again. Great success!
Silas007
Hey Switzerland is not only racism and scenery. There is also CERN.
DarkAngelWarlord
Neat!

This will inevitably be used for art at some point. Possibly even custom performance art with a sledgehammer and immediate art sales.
dawr136
Load bearing glow sticks. Neat.

Maybe a democratic communism is not so bad :-/
BrdCdn
I think you are thinking of democratic socialism.

Car frames, car seats, structure fail points. If it’s cracked (and red) it should be replaced. If blue, it’s cool
FortressCraft
From dim red to dark red?

This would be perfect for The Floor is Lava.

Can also be used to detect impacts from both birds and stones.

I wonder what could be a practical use of this.

Buildings.

Safety equipment, rigging hardware, bike helmets, hard hats, bolts. Anything that you want to know is stressed or fatigued before it fails.
dashrendar2112
Bridges.
SumptuousMeat
Laminate flooring when it gets wet from below.
ScootsMacToots
Aircraft manufacturer could use this on new designs to test real world fatigue on test aircraft/engines/propellers etc
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
forcing people to buy a replacement phone if their screen gets scratched.
Twrecks123
Packaging for delicate medicines and equipment?
IOnlyNeedOneBall
Literally anything that could suffer metal fatigue being instantly identifiable.
ExoCyberBit
Delicate machinery would be my guess
trumpypumpyinyourrumpy
At least 2 or 3. Probably sciencey stuff

Glass walkways?

Aquariums? Lol. How often are you supposed to replace them anyway? Say a 75gal acrylic one. 13yrs now. When supposed to replace?? :/
RCSpotz
Anything that should stay rigid and straight, but starts to bend at all.
idkalan
At least from the gist of this it could be used for waterproofing & be quicker to detect possible leaks, it could probably be heat shrinked
camcam1234
Probably not benchtops.
WorksOnMyMachine
Uh... Speak for yourself. Color changing benchtop?!? Sign me the fuck up!
infernopg
automotive comes to mind as someone restoring a car and having to check everything for damage
Xenarion
Airplanes, or other similar machineries.
brickius
Airplane wings
pyr0chaos
ButtersTheCat
That was my first thought - planes, or aerospace equipment.
ArithmeticFascist
Probably just immediately find out planes fly with a lot of damage.
TheWarHymn
For an ultralight maybe, most plastics have too much creep under stress to make them viable structural components on an aircraft.
EchoOfSnac
Wind turbines?
JackieTreehornProductions
Well unless is has a lot of adjustability not wings as they are designed to flex but other airframe components yes. Gear struts, fan blades.
AeroEngineer
Everything on an aircraft is designed with permissible levels of flexure. Stiffness equals weight. Safety margins on components is 1.5 max.
JackieTreehornProductions
This won't replace eddy current or ultrasonic inspections, it will just be a possible visual inspection for SOME components within specs
dancingspaceflower
With a username like that, how could I not trust you? Oh, wait, I work with aerospace engineers... ;)
AeroEngineer
Yeah, I can't claim we're all worth a damn. I just have ZERO creativity when it comes to names... or much else. Thank god for engineering.
nhapache
Yeah and then we paint the exterior corporate colors and utility is gone.
dancingspaceflower
My thoughts went more toward identifying errors during the manufacturing process so as to better prevent escapements, but I agree with you.
nhapache
It's a good idea tbh
looker42
Boy can't wait to be getting on a plane with wings that are half color changed but they're all like "it's still within regulations".
AeroEngineer
Average commuter airplane age is ~20-25 years. If "within regulations" is a concern for you, I have unfortunate news...
ThatMicrosoftPaintGuy
most plane wings can bend an absurd amount before damage occurs. most can go over 30-45 degrees.
ligmabolz
Considering that the entire plane is literally hanging on the wings while flying, yeah those wings will change color on first flight proly
TaxiGhoul
"...changes colour..." 3 completely red pictures...?
dancingspaceflower
The title is misleading. It's a change in fluorescence, which is easier to distinguish than changes in color.

See the black cloud/mark on the red rod looking part as it bends
IOnlyNeedOneBall
Do you have red/black color blindness?
weathercow
Underrated comment TBH
TaxiGhoul
You are addressing Roy G. Biv himself
Orangebacon1
Compare the first and third picture. Noticeably darker spots in the third image. Or get a colorblindness test?
ExceptFluffyDuck
Darker isn't a color change? It's pedantic kinda true, no?
interrobangster
What you mean probably is this is not a hue change. But definitely a color change, as mentioned in the article.
thegrimreaver
Darker is absolutely a color change. Or are you saying that hues are not different colors?
ExceptFluffyDuck
'Hues' as i understand it is a synonym for 'color'. The HSB color system has Hue, Brightness, and Saturation. So in that, no, (1/2)
ExceptFluffyDuck
Shade is not a different color, but simply that, a different shade of the same color.
Orangebacon1
I honestly don't know? We perceive them as distinct things, isn't that a change, then? Either way, it's probably because it's in a red room.
Medellei
If you need a color change to notice a "deformation" when it's bent 90° I think that's not as useful as the headline makes it out to be.
zebdaPandaRunner
E.g., over several years, a metal beam flexes many times, appearing to return to normal shape. This apparently shows when fatigue sets in 1/
YouCanCallMeCal
Look at the black blobs
TaxiGhoul
That's a brightness change, not a colour change
PetricusGaming
Apple is going to put this on their lcd so they can say: look! damaged! That'll be $439.12 + $100 labor charge
OdakleZnamKakoDaSeZovem
that cheap for IP7 only....
darkninja2992
I do third party repair. 90% of screens we do for pre-12 iphones are under $160 after part, labor, and tax costs
PetricusGaming
We are Apple authorized repair center, we only use Apple parts, ordered from them. Shit is expensive.
darkninja2992
That's WHY people go for third party. Third party iphone x screeni think is under $60 for part alone
PetricusGaming
It's like cars, some swear by OEM, some go aftermarket. Fine by me either way.
FeedTheRats
FallingStar7669
For that price, you might as well just buy a new pho- wait.

Not sure what people though when they read this. But I'm Apple certified tech. This is exact cost for Macbook 13in LCD replacement.
TheMadOnion
How do you feel about the YouTuber Louis Rossman?
PetricusGaming
Know of him, never watched anything from him. Not that I need to, but sure, help the people who want to do it themselves.
PetricusGaming
I just hope he shows all the proper steps, because Macbooks are fragile pieces of shits that bricks if you do it wrong.
TheMadOnion
I mean I don't understand any of it but he seems to explain a good amount of it. I mostly like all the shitting he does on Apple.
aTacticalFerret
They also brick if you do it right.
PetricusGaming
iPhone 12 screen is a bit cheaper, only 279 + labor for the replacement.
anengineerandacat
Simple solution, stop buying their products.
PetricusGaming
No no no, I need to keep my job, keep buying their stuff. "I can fix it!" - Fix-it-Felix
nero4ty2
it's amazing how quickly fandroids will come up with something to try to mock apple, go ahead bring on the downvotes
ICantThinkOfAU
I’ve had an iPhone since the 3GS… they’re right to mock Apple for this, their policies on self-repair are disgusting and illegal in U.K/EU
chromaticlotus
They have been broughten
graehall
I'm not saying there's a cult of apple. Because this is a comment so I'm typing it. There's a cult of apple.
Verldemert
It blows my mind how someone can be so invested in what other people use. It must be exhausting.
nero4ty2
uh oh, your typing from an ios device, you must be a mindless sheep /s
SirBagels
As an electrical engineer, their business practices and designs could be incredibly detrimental to the industry and environment if adopted.
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Gosh you're such a martyr
WeaponizedJerk
You have to admit it's kind of pathetic to react to such a cool innovation with "hurr durr Apple sucks".
BrdCdn
Apple is more marketing than innovation. They have done some cool stuff but the hype of apple innovation is overblown.
WeaponizedJerk
That’s completely besides my point
nero4ty2
for calling out how android people are like a bunch of rascal scooter proud boys cheering at flipping a differently abled persons van?
ColonelCasual
You've got to be a troll. There's no way someone could be such a stereotype. I mean the irony is just a little too thick to be authentic.
nero4ty2
100%, riling up fandroids is a blast, the frothing rage people get into over what tech others use is hillarious
Ignis86
LOL did you seriously compare them to proud boys?
nero4ty2
them? i think you meant "us" since your typing from an android device, and yes, yes i did
Gayforbae
nero4ty2
just trolling fandroids, it's fun to see how crazy people get about what other people's tech choices are
JCBalance
Yeah what did Apple do to deserve tech-based mockery?!
itisanimgurnaccount
Laffo at the downvotes.
ICantThinkOfAU
Can’t tell if the downvotes are from people who genuinely can’t see the blatant sarcasm (stop taking the Internet so seriously), or fanboys
NoNameFred
Steal a load of other companies ideas, and try to claim they were new? Predatory licensing & patenting models? Overpriced & underfeatured?
NoNameFred
Tried to bribe to government to make it illegal to repair their products, so you "had" to buy new ones? Abandoned their original good ethos?
WhyWouldYouReplyToThisGuy
They sell tech at much higher prices than others since their ad campaign was incredibly successful and not their product being better. 1/2
WhyWouldYouReplyToThisGuy
Also, most (if not all) non apple devices are charged with some variant of USB. Apple provides an adaptor, but it still means you only 2/3
WhyWouldYouReplyToThisGuy
Have 1 cable that connects to the device. And if that breaks then apple gets more of your money. And damn are apple cables easy to break
homicidalkoala
My Nokia smartphone cost 70 bucks, does everything an IPhone does, still has the infamous Nokia durability, AND still has an aux port
nero4ty2
it really doesn't though, but nice try, and nobody cares about an aux port, they haven't been needed for years
VarriksTheLoyal
Aux port is good though
nero4ty2
just outdated tech
homicidalkoala
Enjoy looking like there's cum dripping out of your ears then. Cuz that's what we're all thinking when we see airpods
nero4ty2
who said anything about airpods? i can't use them, they fall right out, apple headphones generally suck for me, wife loves them though
nero4ty2
and i can pretty much guarantee you are the only one thinking that twisted thought about other peoples headphones
