- Comment on Valve dropped that Steam Machine Companion Cube case down the legal incinerator after its makers neglected to get their permission 2 weeks ago:
They can make a case, but they can’t make a case that profits off of property and designs that are owned by valve, which the companion cube is. The normal process would be to reach out to valve and request a license to produce it. Dbrand didn’t do that, and valve told them to stop.
Whether you agree with IP laws or not, this is how the laws currently function and dbrand has to know that. So this was a really stupid blunder for them to make.
- Comment on The US Army was literally mutinying to get out of Vietnam 2 weeks ago:
You can definitely pull fingerprints from detonated explosives.
- Comment on I used sound waves to make espresso. It could cut coffee-brewing energy use by 75% 3 weeks ago:
Well, they apparently had already used ultrasound to speed up the cold brew process. This was a continuation of that research.

According to the article this is aimed at the commercial/industrial level brewers to save energy. So the coffee snobs probably aren’t really going to be a target audience. Though if it becomes at all widespread I’m sure people will give it a try. There aren’t a shortage of people trying all sorts of wild ways to brew out there.

According the the article, the espresso was rated equal to traditionally brewed. Ultrasound brewed filter coffee was rated as better than traditional.
Though it sounds like they were all cooled down since the ultrasonic brewing didn’t best the water. So that is also a factor. If you like hot coffee, this wouldn’t be a worthwhile brewing method.
