I was particularly thinking of the Aqua Virgo, an aqueduct to Rome that supplies city fountains to this day, and the Cloaca Maxima, a sewer and drainage system that has been in operation since it was built two thousand years ago

I can only speak anecdotally, but I've been using this sheet for ~4 years while only cleaning it with 90+% IPA, and I haven't seen any loss of adhesion. I expect to replace it due to scratches before I have any problems with the c

What printing surface are you using? I use a PEI sheet that I clean with straight isopropyl alcohol, and I almost never have issues.

The main issue with this move is that it's not going to cut down on clones very much. Chinese 3D printer companies already clone all kinds of parts from other companies that don't provide design files, including stuff very similar

It's worth noting that the X1 is on sale today. Normally it's $1199 as well.

In fairness, the Catholic church is not the sect building strip mall churches.

>Did they improve sanitation, irrigation, medicine etc.? They built a network of aqueducts that was the largest in the world for a thousand years. The plumbing and sewage systems they installed in their cities were so effective that some

The Canadian housing market is apocalyptic. It's hard to think of a greater regulatory failure.

Said more neutrally, Safari is far behind all the other major web browsers in standards implementation and dev friendliness. As an outsider, I also assumed this was to preserve app store revenue. If it's not, could you share some insig

This isn't quite as purpose-built, but if you want dice on your wrist this WearOS project deserves to be shared: https://github.com/A31Nesta/OptiDice

HN always says this, and it's always wrong. A technical implementation that's easy, or readily available, does not mean that a successful company can't be built on it. Last year, people were saying "OpenAI doesn't h

Interesting. Waveshare makes this recommendation across their product line, and from what I can glean from google, their displays really do develop permanent artifacts if they're not refreshed. I've never seen another epaper compa

Why would it need to be a storm shelter? The only place in the world where schools need to be storm shelters is the midwestern US.

That can get it to be okay, if you put some effort in and get lucky with the manufacturer, but it's still worse than basically anything else that's modern and supports Linux.

Let's be fair here, Intel CPUs have terrible battery life under every OS.

In short: no. Current-gen NPUs are so slow they can't do anything useful. AMD and Intel have 2nd-gen ones that came out a few weeks ago, and by spec they may able to run local translation and small LLMs (haven't seen benchmarks ye

Modern SoCs already have all kinds of features with use-cases that are few and non-essential. Granted they don't take as much space as NPUS, but manufacturers are betting that if NPUs are available, software will evolve to use them reg

That will be the end of creative work. Marketing and promotion is already the most difficult part of any creative endeavor. With literally unlimited trash being produced, it'll become impossible.

Unfortunately they are not. Mouse motherboards are generally shaped like the mouse, i.e. right-handed, and the side buttons are on ribbon cables too short to move to the other side. Impossible to reorient without serious work.

At least one guy on reddit did this and is still sending out the files for people who ask: https://old.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/enxzgg/lefty_g... It seems like a massive pain though. Rebuilding

The downvotes are likely not because of the criticism of teachers, but the lack of recognition that AIs are not private tutors, and AI companies are working very hard to make their products more authoritarian than any human system could eve

I would never use this because it's a subscription, but I do want to commend you for making it. Bluetooth's terrible two-way quality is a pet peeve of mine.

Those generally uses a custom 2.4GHz RF protocol, like gaming headsets and mice with dongles.

It happens on Windows too. In fact it's probably worst there, because the Windows Bluetooth stack is so awful.

There are a lot of mistakes here, but for one, lower economic means correlates with more children.

Increasing profits often doesn't incentivize competition, especially when barriers to entry are high. Instead, it decreases competition by giving existing corporations even more money and power to use against newcomers. Look at what ha
