Forum comments have been the best resource for me. (Followed by joining the printer’s users’ Facebook group to see what sort of issues are most common). The top SEO’d buyers guide websites are pretty useless in my experience. That said, hav

can you not hire people who are good at hardware with billions of dollars of investment? Clearly not in Bezos’s case. There is no magic involved here, some people have the skill/experience to lead the design, build, and selling of in

Bezos doesn’t know how to build good hardware. Plenty of examples from Amazon. Then add Blue Origin to that track record.

Didn’t read, you don’t have to based on headline. They still don’t know root cause(s). That’s real bad Frank.

I didn’t watch this link, but my Zenbook S 16 only gets remotely close to my M2 MBA battery life if the zenbook is in whatever is Windows 11 ‘efficiency’ mode, and then it benchmarks at 50% of the M2. I don’t think the two are remotely com

As an product designer / inventor, I know that feeling well... that point when so many prototypes have failed, but you feel you are so close. You feel you've run out of time and that it will be too expensive to test another one, s

Any non-arc generates instantaneous acceleration changes at the line inflection points, these are impossible for a mechanical system to perfectly implement. Huge amount of jerk results the closer/faster one tries to achieve instantane

Bambu Lab does this. The accel values they print with are so high without arcs it would get quite violent. X1C is most impressive piece of hardware I’ve bought recently, just bought another today. Prints 4X faster than ultimaker https:&#

Delrin/acetal has incredible properties and is great material to laser cut. Make sure to ventilate, small amounts of formaldehyde produced.

Tesla as an innovation-driven company couldn’t be further from the types of metal industry jobs you refer to. Why can’t an innovative company trade its “capital” to get the young and ambitious to work for less pay?

Don’t they have insurance for repair costs? And don’t they ask you 10 different ways from Sunday to pay for insurance when you are checking out? So read another way, they mispriced their repair plan and it’s costing them money.

You ended up paying the dealerships cost, which is probably same you would have paid if dealership was never in the picture.

This is the situation I’m leaning towards. Military has been trying unsuccessfully for 80 years to figure it out. An adult finally walks into the room, sees how hopeless their attempts are, and whistleblows.

I’ve not taken a side yet, but to answer your first question, the original journalism outlet that published his story is The Debrief (who are pretty widely respected in the defense world), and they documented the source checking they did on

Pretty sweet that they got to test 33 Raptors at a time. You can find failure modes approximately 33 times faster that way.

From the launch commentary, the rocket is designed to do a 180 at that altitude for the separation event. So a couple extra rotations isn’t going to hurt anything. Additionally, air density at 100k ft is ~1/80th of sea level, which h

Had similar experience watching TV ads. It started with a beauty ad which was plainly targeting viewers’ body image insecurities. Was very jarring to recognize how dark and manipulative the glossy, “upbeat” ad truly was. Then recognized s

I’ve always wondered if this effort from Nguyen Duc Thang had an ulterior motive, like possibly prior-arting entire swaths of new inventions…

You’re describing the DIY niche, I’d be very surprised if the DIY niche is greater than 25% of these companies’ business.

Noticed the same, but I still think Zillow tweaks historical but just not as brazenly as Redfin.

Systems Engineering is the discipline that oversees this. They define what tests will be required to validate the thing will do what it is supposed to before any hardware is built. I don’t think there is a good analogy to typical software

Next time try Flonase up the nose, much less invasive than a shot into the middle ear.
