Digital photo cameras often actually filter out infrared. But even if they wouldn’t it probably would be hard to tell if something is warmer than the surrounding by looking at a photo or video. What you need is a specific device that is calibrated for a specific spectrum of infrared, such as a thermographic camera.
I think there was actually at least one smartphone that had a thermographic camera installed, but that’s a very specific use case for e.g. construction work.
I imagine he only asked so that in court he could say that he asked only for you to become combative, that’s proving that you were responsible for the issue not getting fixed.
“The how water is not working” is just bad phrasing. “There’s no hot water” describes the problem better. Boiler issue. Burners go out. Boilers go bad every 5 years. Owning a house is becoming a burden. Shit like that.
For a small landlord: some kind of hack taught at a “get rich quick” slumlording class. Something to add friction to the exchange, so the problem either fixes itself or the tenant forgets/misses a message.
For a big corpo landlord: probably complying with some really stupid corpo policy surrounding “objective evidence” in a “not my job” kind of way.
None of y’all are plumbers and most of y’all work in IT and it fucking shows.
This is not a case where a photo is required or even all that helpful.
A photo shows that water is running. Is it hot, is it cold, is it lukewarm? Who knows?? Certainly not the landlord.
Probing questions sure would have been helpful. Like is the water lukewarm or cold?
If it’s either it doesn’t matter, the heater is not working and a plumber is required.
Now what if the water isn’t running? Well then the response would indicate that.
“No there’s no water at all when I turn on the hot water.”
Ok that’s an entirely different problem, could be the heater, could be someone turned a valve off.
But even that much information isn’t all that important because no matter what the problem is, or where it’s located, the tenant will not be able to resolve this issue, a plumber is required. They’ll need access to the premises, because water heaters are generally inside the unit, which means the tenant will likely need to be present when the plumber shows up.
The plumber is absolutely not going to show up with a water heater based on what information he can get out of a text. He’s going to come in, and investigate the issue. Sometimes it’s a quick fix, sometimes it’s a problem. Generally the tenant is going to have absolutely no way of resolving it themselves, and generally a landlord wouldn’t want them to.
This is not an IT ticket, it’s a "call a fucking plumber my shits broken " ticket.
None of y’all are plumbers and most of y’all work in IT and it fucking shows
You’re not a plumber and you lack problem fixing skills and it fucking shows. 🙄
The photo shows:
water is running, meaning: the faucet works, the pipe to the faucet works, the water is not shut off
the faucet seems to be of a two valve kind, meaning: if the tenant is not an idiot and didn’t turn on the wrong valve, and they did wait a reasonable time for hot water to come out, then the problem is not with the faucet but with the heater
the faucet can not be the problem, meaning a plumber does not need to carry a spare faucet, but the pipes could be hooked up wrong (hot pipe to cold valve and vice versa), which could be and easy fox for the landlord themselves without having to pay a plumber
Probing questions would be only useful if the tenant spent some effort on answering them, instead of, for example:
is the water lukewarm or cold?
A: Yes.
what if the water isn’t running?
A: There is no hot water.
This is not an IT ticket, it’s a general problem solving procedure issue.
I would like to say “nhiiiieee c0nGl4tuRaTion u pUt t3xT oVer aN iMag3” but this actually looks pretty cool. Nice job m8. Is the image A.I. generated? If so how did you make it?
Yeah it’s ai generated, I use the midjourney bot on my discord server, I just used your comment as the prompt lol, the other 3 were just random, but there was something about his face that felt right.
Those are all loan words and not native to the Italian language.
However, the picture just says “it can be called”. It does not state “it’s called a pizzussy by Italian people”. Even if so, a Italian person can call a calzone a pizzussy as well.
