I wasn't able to read the actual paper since it's behind a paywall, but it's not exclusively a TL model. They say this in the abstract:
Deep space observations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that the structure and masses of very early Universe galaxies at high redshifts (z∼15), existing at ∼0.3 Gyr after the BigBang, may be as evolved as the galaxies in existence for ∼10 Gyr. The JWST findings are thus in strong tension with the ΛCDM cosmological model.
While tired light (TL) models have been shown to comply with the JWST angular galaxy size data, they cannot satisfactorily explain isotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations or fit the supernovae distance modulus vs. redshift data well.
We present a model with covarying coupling constants (CCC), starting from the modified FLRW metric and resulting Einstein and Friedmann equations, and a CCC + TL hybrid model. They fit the Pantheon + data admirably, and the CCC + TL model is compliant with the JWST observations. [..] One could infer the CCC model as an extension of the ΛCDM model with a dynamic cosmological constant.
finally, the Rödhaj
Look, I'm sorry but I have better things to do than arguing about why putting blobs of solder on your HDD's contacts isn't a good idea. I'm not gonna stop you, but I don't think you've convinced anyone.
The contacts are gold, which definitely doesn't oxidize any more than solder considering it, y'know, doesn't oxidize in air at all ever. The solder doesn't really add any contact surface area, and even if it did, it makes no difference for digital signals. "Better conductivity" doesn't improve digital sigs either. And why would the contacts ever disconnect?
I can't confirm the last paragraph, but HDD manufacturers could just move the PCB closer to the chassis and/or make the contacts' springs a bit stiffer to achieve the exact same thing, which is slightly more pressure between the contacts. That's literally all you're getting here.
DON'T DO THIS, at best it'll do nothing and at worst (muuch more likely) you'll short and kill your HDD.
The whole point of contacts is that they aren't soldered, the transmit current by physical contact. There's a matching pair on the HDD chassis:
Yeah, it's insane we still have to deal with this in 2023.. and it's even worse for trans people, "transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely" and all that.
There are people who aren't financially independent yet that are facing the very real possibility of getting disowned by their family and thrown out on the street if they come out as anything but cishet. It sucks, but keeping this kind of information private can be lifesaving.
