The term for these types of microscopes, at least in the industries I've worked in, is an inspection microscope. They're normally lower power than a typical binocular scope like you would see in a biology lab, but work on opaque m

Well, it's oracle, so as far as I'm concerned anything that hurts them or their IP is a legitimate public service. That said, it does seem more than a little cheeky for a VC backed company to open up a public gofundme for this.

I guess I may have phrased that slightly incorrectly. The ornamentation is unnecessary from a functional viewpoint, but that isn't a bad thing. It is one of the reasons those buildings are so good looking, and that is not a bad thing.

I'd say we've stopped making these types of grand monuments, but that's been relatively recent. Think of things like the Chrysler building or the Empire State building, they have tons of unnecessary ornamentation and are stil

Eh, they certainly weren't celebrities in the same way, that would only be possible with modern broadcast media. But people like the pope, kings, and dukes would be pretty close. I would expect the average medieval peasant would know w

But he's also using a 12 year old maker bot. They're not really even in business anymore. Why are you pushing so hard that GP needs to provide a completely turnkey solution for their long out of production printer? All of your com

Yeah, I did the printer as a hobby thing when I built my first reprap. It was fun, and I learned a ton, but the state of the art in 2014 just wasn't there for low-end machines to be reliable. I replaced it with a prusa in 2019,and I ha

For plastic packaging that you immediately throw away? They aren't pitching making tools or car parts out of this plastic.

I would hope that security critical parts of the OS that can't be exposed as an API aren't being used to communicate with the apple watch. Why would the apple watch need access to these APIs that can't be publicly exposed? Is

It's still FILO, the shuffle is needed for multiple locations. The emergency store keeps (for example) 5x the stock of canned beans, and feeds an area with 4 regular stores. They have 5x more stock then they could regularly sell, so if

I can't put my finger on what exactly I find distasteful about his channel, but his content is just off-putting to me. The closest I can describe it is that it annoys me in the same way that shows on discovery or the history channel di

This, exactly. I find there's an inverse relationship between posting frequency and video quality. Channels like hyperspace pirate (DIY science/chemistry/physics) may post several times in a week if they are super into a proj

Absolutely don't run an extension cord through a wall, that's only slightly less of a fire hazard than storing a gasoline can on top of the server. Extension cords are normally very derated, expecting occasional use and ample cook

If you're in north America (probably elsewhere, but I can only say for NA) then changing the thermostat is super simple to do. If your system is 24v, which is very likely, then swapping the nest device for something better isn't t

How does that square with belt and road? I would agree they aren't looking for world dominance, but from my POV they certainly are looking to be a more major player internationally. Especially in the '3rd world', they will li

Clarification question, since I'm curious. I don't believe I've ever received a spam message from a Gmail domain on any of my email addresses, some of which are posted publicly (support@etc.com addresses for businesses). I do

OK, so this is getting ridiculous. The internet permission isn't exposed to the user, unless you are saying that 'exposed to the user' is the same as 'system default and can't be modified'. The user has no way

Those rotary drywall cutters are the ticket for cutting plastic. I first used one when I was a mechanic before changing careers, and we used one for trimming tough plastics like bumper covers. Takes a bit of practice to get a nice cut, si

Huh? Not sure how this qualifies as "whack ass". There's an internet permission built in to the OS that Google chose to not expose to the user. The parent poster was claiming there is no reason anyone would want that permissi

I mean, the epic games lawsuit specifically involved sideloading. There's still ongoing litigation in one of those suits. Playing fortnite isn't exactly a niche or power user thing.

I mean, I just did a quick look over the installed apps on this phone and ~1/4 of them would work perfectly well without an internet connection, things like a level or GPS speedometer that use the phone sensor or apps for Bluetooth con

I'm not at all confident we don't have any security issues, that would be an impossible statement to make no matter what company I work for. I am confident we don't have issues like baking API secrets into our shipped javascr

I rebuilt the engine in my 1961 truck 3 years ago, the bores were worn enough it was noticeably down on power. I can't easily track MPG in it for a precise number (no working odometer), but the mileage increase was significant enough t

This is probably a bit unorthodox, but I use tab session manager [0] for firefox. I started using it mainly to be able to save an open window to return to a project, and it ended up replacing my bookmarks. My issue with bookmarks was always

It would be a super hacky way to just test, but you can do that with OBS set to capture the game output and then displaying the OBS capture. There's probably multiple other ways, but that would be a quick and easy way to test if you al

What's the advantage for a consumer here though? I honestly don't get the selling point of why I would want Win11 specifically on a handheld. The desktop UI sucks with a touchscreen, so having a windows vs a Linux desktop on the h

The choice of games is also super strange. Why include borderlands 3? A 2019 cel-shaded release that isn't super demanding seems odd. Homeworld and returnal also seem odd, they're a little more modern but I don't typically se
