  Meetup is now owned by Bending Spoons, who have also enshittified wetransfer, Evernote, eventbrite, AOL, vimeo. They buy decent products that never exploded to ipo status, fire everyone and milk the rest for whatever they can charge.

  There are filters that you just need a little compression to get close to pure nitrogen out of, then a lot of cooling to liquify it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To independently invent the concept of writing in which sounds are encoded into symbols from which an infinite number of words can be assembled, you must be a genius⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of oral languages, where the writing only came after contact with missionaries. Māori, and the other Pacific languages, aboriginal etc. And as all other species have some form of oral language, but not written. I’d pretty safe saying that sounds and words long predated the written forms. Unless you know of written only languages that the pronunciation came later?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My textured one is perfect for petg, never have sticking issues. With tpu, I need some glue stick as a release agent because it sticks too well.

  I only print pla on the smooth sheet, works well.

  And have had mixed luck with both petg and pla on the satin sheet.

  Have had a very similar experience with the sheets on my mini, and now on the core1

  Do it! It’s super easy with Frigate addon for home assistant. There’s nice blueprints to handle the mobile notifications when you are out.

  Prusa, all day long if you want to be 3d printing. Then build a voron if you want a 3d printer hobby.

  There’s 3 peaks for newbies here in the southern hemisphere. New years, end of Feb when the university kids arrive back to start a new year, and September when spring hits and they do the 8 weeks to summer promotions.

  My phone (Xperia 1mk6) doesn’t support esims in the international version. But I have a physical sim I can load esims onto. Best of both worlds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you change your towels?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.

  We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.

  Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't tall people also wider?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fairly tall, 6’2" I quite often meet people much taller than me, that I don’t realise are really that tall, because they are more in proportion. So maybe it’s a perception problem, that you only notice tall skinny folks and overlook the tall average proportion folk.

  If you’re slowing it down beyond ddr4 or ddr3 Levels, you’re better buying an older system that’s not as inflated. Though related to that, the price of ddr4 motherboards has shot up as there’s a shortage due to people pairing it with affordable ram

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pre travel sims, we had multi dollar per megabyte roaming fees. Smart phones were only any good when you could find a McDonald’s to steal some wifi from.

  It will only affect it materially if they cross where the light is converged / infocus. So if you put a big piece of paper where the wires are, the image will be blurred. So if you look at the wires from the focal point, they are also blurred enough to be able to see what’s behind them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the private equity bubble compare to the AI bubble if at all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cloud compute was attractive to 3d rendering for a while, as you could put your non urgent renders on the cloud at the lowest priority and take advantage of off peak pricing. Now model training demand has wiped out off peak pricing and forced the cloud rendering cost way higher than rendering locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When the cost to generate new code has become so cheap,and the cost of devs maintaining code they didn’t write gets higher. There’s a huge shift happening to just throw out the code and regenerate it instead. Next year will be the find out phase, where the massive decline in code quality catches up with big projects.

  I asked it for some OfficeScript to copy the current tab in excel rename it with this week’s date and set a few cells to the current date too. It gave me a 3 page script for the TV show The Office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The cost will come down further with scale. The great thing about that is that dead lithium batteries will have value, so people will be much less inclined to throw them in the trash or dump them elsewhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s Hiding Inside Haribo’s Power Bank and Headphones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are they so light? Do they way less than high rated 18650 cells would be for the rated capacity? If so they are probably inflating the rating. As is shockingly common for no name powerbanks. There are very minimal usb boards you can load 18650s into, or attach quad copter cells to, 3d print your own minimal case that suits your needs with the highest capacity and quality cells you can afford.

  Connect is good for me, don’t know what the situation with the dev is though, seems like development might have stopped

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you guys know how awesome a printer is that is just working?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just as satisfying when you print something with several parts and the tolerance is right first time. You hear all about people printing several prototype parts to dial in the design. Nothing to make you feel like a design king by first print mic drop.
