I’m not even sure it would show up on film either. But for CCD cameras (aka phone cameras and basically all modern cameras), 350 americium buttons buttons from a smoke detector in a wide “stew” that far away would produce nowhere near enough ionizing radiation to do that. On top of it, americium-241 is an alpha emitter, meaning that even if alpha particles reached the lens, the lens itself would block a good amount an alpha. This video gives a demo of a CCD without protection over it with americium and other various emitters :)

I finished it, and my goodness, the music was perfect ! Any other composer would have made me mute the song as I failed the screen 100 times for hours, but somehow Lena’s music doesn’t get annoying after looping.
Two times actually! Like someone else has said, removing python wasn’t the best course of action :)
The second time was when I had a copy of the home directory of that laptop’s data on my server. The username of that laptop was the same as my server, and I no longer needed the folder containing my laptop data. Instead of doing “rm -rf ./home/username”, I somehow didn’t put a period before the directory and erased my servers home directory…
Exactly what I came here to say!
This is super true. I occasionally visit a TRIGA reactor that was built decades ago, and a good chunk of the computers critical in infrastructure run comically old versions of windows since software used to operate the faculty was a custom job.
I have a few of these!
