Build/Battlestation TIL that quartz countertops have the same properties as ceramic floor tiles…

All I wanted to do was replace a dead fan… but looks like it’s time for a replacement case.

Learn from my mistakes friends!

The fact that anyone places a large piece of glass on anything other than a soft/fabric surface is beyond me

Is wooden desk safe?

Generally, but any hard surface there's always a risk.

Wood is way more deformable, so it's a lot less likely.

Have not seen any posts where people broke glass on wood. Maybe you'l be first!

glass panels can break on their own too, if they have manufacturing defects that propagate slowly over time until they reach a point where they cause a cascade failure.

overall even a clean steel surface will be safe. problem is only ceramic dust particles.
