- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 1 week ago:
Well, not really. The cosmic microwave background radiation was a tiny fraction of that noise. What everyone saw was mostly thermal noise generated by the amplifier circuit inside the TV.
- Comment on 3D printer maker Bambu Lab faces patent infringement lawsuits that could threaten hobbyist 3D printing in general 3 months ago:
We have 3 Stratasys printers at work and yeah, you’re absolutely correct.
To add, their ‘professional’ slicer program “Insight” is the most user hostile piece of software I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Straight out of 1992 levels of awful. The workflow, the UI (if you can call it that), everything.
The other ‘user friendly’ slicer is “GrabCAD Print”, an Apple style piece of garbage. It lacks everything beyond basic functionality, yet lately they’ve been pumping it full of subscription locked features.
Honestly, fuck this company.

Oh, shit you’re right.
I wiped my whole profile years ago (with a script that overwrites your comments before deleting) but they’re still visible everywhere except in my profile.
Isn’t this bullshit illegal?
- Comment on Apple’s Vision Pro battery pack is hiding the final boss of Lightning cables 9 months ago:
There’s nothing reasonable about these assumptions.
There’s no way the VisionPro gets even close to 100W. Why? Because heat dissipation. The vast majority of power drawn by semiconductors is dissipated as heat and, in a device that’s strapped to someone’s face, there’s simply no way to dissipate hundreds of watts.
Also, knowing the battery pack size and battery life, it’s easy to guesstimate the power consumption.
“The Apple Vision Pro provides approximately 2 hours of battery life. Based on its size, the internal battery capacity is estimated to be within 20,000mAh (74Wh), resulting in an overall power consumption of around 30W.”
Even if we assume the double of that 30W, it’s well within USB-C standards.
