Holding an Obsidian Google Pixel 9 Pro.

Google brought a never-been-seen-before feature to the Pixel 8 Pro in the form of a temperature sensor. The sensor has a few use cases, such as measuring the temperature of dishes or food in the kitchen or checking to see if the bath isn't too hot. Ideally, you can get even more out of the feature by measuring the temperature of people and pets.
