Places need to get a lot better about actually checking returned items if they're going to go back into the stream as a NIB item instead of open box. Amazon and other electronics places are bad about this with horror stories of getting

Well we don't know that they're talking about clothes at all. Clothing retailers are still pretty open about returns afaik because it's kind of the only way to run an online clothes store people will actually use.

I wonder if they were similarly blasé when companies started implementing policies to actually stop them? That kind of argument only works where stopping the behavior is cost free, the main reason most places didn't do it before was be

The messenger tells you a lot about the message with AI articles. It being written by AI instead of a human is an indication the writer didn't care enough about the information being communicated to communicate it themselves and if the

There are some intermediates but they're often not that well supported. I have a door bell with a traditional app but it also exposes a normal IP camera stream and has a community (I assume) home assistant integration that lets me perf

Boni seems more like a closed project and I'd rather have something where access isn't an afterthought as indicated on the Kickstarter. > Right now, we simply haven't reached any conclusions regarding developer tools, docu

My favorite bit from that was when he had it do a flip and the battery ejected from it's niche and it died. Also the constant suicide attempts from trying to run it on a table but that's a problem for any mobile robot and tabletop

The biggest issue is these kinds of construction jobs are temporary. It's similar to but not quite as bad as datacenters where you get a very short term influx of skilled highly paid labor but those jobs don't stick around after t

Seems like the simple solution is a Styrofoam sheet, a $10 hot knife and some glue solves the customization problem almost trivially.

Oh from the cautionary sci-fi classic "Do Not Create the Torment Nexus"? I always thought it'd be awesome to create after reading that!

Why? The release angle is fully controlled by design of the mechanism if you wanted to fire it into the ground for safety you could just advance the release timing by a few degrees.

It is because the main limitation for high speed digital video is the bandwidth of the pipeline from sensor to storage. Lowering the resolution increases the number of frames you can shove through the X Gbps pipe between the photons hitting

No it wouldn't... the projectile is still launched by the same angular motion of an arm and a sling basket the power for the rotation just comes from a different source.

No it's an old unit that's stuck around in the firearm world in basically every country. EU bullet makers specify their bullet weights in grains too.

I'd argue the coin cell and the power budget limitations that come with it are part and parcel of it's nature as a cheap casio resin watch.

by rtkwe 2mo ago
It's still powered by a coin cell so it's probably for power conservation reasons. Way cheaper to periodically power on the BT radio and sync steps to your phone than it is to constantly listen for notifications.

Whips work because they gradually get lighter and lighter along their length meaning the same energy as it propagates down the length results in higher and higher speeds. Strapping a projectile to the end throws all of that off unless you m

As long as there have been forums there have been guys and gals making extremely deep and long deep posts and threads about their projects. Video and YT just make it 100x more accessible.

You'd need to build a very large, very heavy whip, like a chain whip but those only work laying on the ground due to how heavy they are, because the mass at the very end of a whip gets going so fast /because/ it's extrem

The difficulty is making it protective but light enough to not significantly hinder the spacecraft or person wearing it, all of which is covered in the article.

There'd be a lag between a new algospeak abomination popping up and it getting added to the filters at least but yeah I think it's probably largely ineffective now. Probably even less so if they're using LLMs to screen for po

The size the article is talking about are usually around 100 pounds or ~50kg at least. My solution is the much smaller Anker Solix C1000 and it's outboard battery extension. It can output up to 1800W sustained with a 2.4 KW peak and th

The issue there is the plug would be on the battery which you're unlikely to have mounted in a convenient location for things like your main fridge, router, and computer. For me all 3 of those are pretty far away from the most likely p

They could scan and store the data until the copyright expires without issue probably. It's a long time line to work with but you could probably get away with it that way.
