> The X-59 experimental aircraft is approximately 100 feet long and is designed to fly at Mach 1.4 (925 mph). I'm sorry, but my 3D printer isn't big enough to print a 100 foot long object, and I doubt PLA will hold up at Mach 1

If we are doing random predictions based on scant evidence, mine is a professional hit. Neighbor said he heard 3 shots. If it was a "pop pop...pop", that's 2 in the body, 1 in the head. Professional assassin.

This. I can tear real cloth if I try, but I need to try. A flick of the finger has never once in my life torn cloth.

My dad likely had Asperger's. (Undiagnosed, but pretty much 100% he did). I have close friends with children who are very autistic. (Not completely non-verbel, but they say very few words and are still more likely to have a screechin

Not sure why this is a headline; ChatGPT served me ads a few weeks ago. I was asking it what type of Teflon tape to use for a project, and it "helpfully" gave me sponsored links to purchase the Teflon tape. (I never asked for lin

Why go through the time and effort of hacking them when you can apparently just slip them some money and get what you want?

At least this guy got the option to know what was happening. A few years ago I randomly got a letter from the IRS (or some other 3-letter agency - I can't recall which) demanding I pay thousands of dollars because I imported "i

My dad had one. He was an HP employee and they opened them up to internal purchases when they took them off the market.

I still have my MS Force Feedback 2, and it still works great! I heard that some patent troll got a hold of the patent for force feedback joysticks, and all manufacturers just gave up on them because of the troll. The patent expired recent

It's highly probable that a successor of this is in active use, we just don't know anything about it. :-/

Except Google TV isn't the same. You can cast to it, but it's more akin to a Roku - it comes with a remote and has "channels" you install. Oh, and a metric crapton of ads it shows you.

I'm seriously concerned that the PS9 development is far behind schedule. I certainly won't be able to teleport it, and I doubt it will be as immersive as promised.

OS 26 (Both i and Mac variants) are prime examples of designers trying desperately to justify their ongoing jobs by redesigning everything for the sake of a redesign. This scicophantic obsession with constantly redesigning the look of every

I can see an argument of "well it typically bogs down and stops being performant at X, and we don't want to get a bad rep because people abuse it, so we don't allow anything over X", but that should still be negotiable i

I call this the "marketing website problem". Unfortunately many companies have realized that engineers don't make purchasing decisions. (Mearly suggestions) Rather, C-Suite, who knows nothing about the technical side of thi

While I'm definitely a fan of Open Source, I wonder how this compares to Dante, and if you could get Jack and Dante to interoperate.

While I don't completely disagree with all the downsides of Ceph, it also sounds like they haven't heard of Croit. I set it up at my last company and it's amazing . It takes like 99% of the Ceph headaches away, plus you ge

I would love to see an open source/Home Assistant native version of the Nest, if the author or anyone else has further ambitions. IMHO the Nest is hands-down the best thermostat hardware out there. It's a case study in simplicity

Am I using a different Gemini from everyone else? We have Google Workspace at my job, so Gemini is baked in. It is HORRENDOUS when compared to other models. I hear a bunch of other people talking about how great Gemini is, but I've

Slack added AI features for something like ~$5/user/mo. Nobody got the addon because it was stupid. So Slack bundled AI and increased the base subscription by ~$5/user/mo. Nobody uses the AI features still, and we are
