  • You can also see the individual white blood cells flowing through the vessels your eyes this way. It's actually really neat. It's called the Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon.

  • VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power

    Jump

  • I remember when you could just adjust or swap the carb... I would never in a million years buy a soft-locked car.

    If the feature is there, it better work without a monthly cost. I'd order it factory delete, otherwise. Probably not an option with the goofy computer systems they put in vehicles these days. I loathe touch-panel controls in cars. I want knobs and buttons, not controls buried 3 clicks deep into some awful UI behind a crappy low res resistive touch panel. Gross.

    And in 5 or 10 years, whenever your car computer becomes obsolete and no longer connects to the control servers, what about your features then? I presume they'll just stop working without a server to approve it.

    There's nothing good about this ecosystem. It's meant to cost you indefinitely before premature and manufacturer-premeditated replacement.

  • Saw a kid do a rail of pixie on the bus one time. They said it burned. I'd believe it, with all that citric acid in there for tartness.

  • What were your parent's rules on video games?

    Jump

  • As kids we had a dos 286 pc with some basic vga games. Nearly all of them were educational so my parents let us play those whenever. We got a used SNES for xmas the year the n64 came out, and we played that as much as we could. My parents didn't know then and still struggle now with computers, so they let me do as I pleased with the PC, within reason.

    As a teen I bought my own computer and my own PC games. My parents probably would not have approved of me playing half life, doom, quake, UT, and other graphic games, but I played the hell out of those. I also had stuff like myst that were pretty low key but fun. My PC was my own personal machine, so I did with it what I wanted, when I wanted.

    The usual concern with most older gen gamers was having parents telling us video games would rot our brains. As they stared at the TV for hours most nights... Video games sharpen your motor skills, reflex times, logic and reasoning skills, among other things. I find quite the opposite to be true and would advocate that video games are actually very, very good for you in many ways, unlike most television shows. I highly encourage gaming over watching. Our family game night is usually played on a console rather than a table.

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • It's all about what works best for the particular individual. The majority of people want some hand-holding, and that's ok. Not everyone is into designing their own hotends or completely rebuilding stock printers into monsters :)

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • TBH I prefer the older machines, I stay away from the proprietary all-in-one stuff. I'm all about modularity, and usually means keeping parts and processes standard between builds for production's sake.

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • My fleet of ender 3's have upgraded themselves all to direct drive linear rail dual z, etc. but they've also been instrumental in creating dummy and temp parts to build multiple CNC machines, which then are used to make their own final parts. It's wild what you can do!

    I'm currently rebuilding a brand new AnyCubic Kobra2 max, since the factory controller hardware is trash. I bought it for the frame and hotbed. It's getting all new motion control, klipper, direct drive, bl touch, and a input shaping among other things.

  • I can count on one hand how many "toys" I've printed. I have printed thousands of useful/needed items, though. That tool is indispensable to me. It's crazy how far prototyping tech has come.

    What’s blocking students from building real-world projects in college?

    Jump

  • More than I can list. I'm at a point in my life where I can afford to start and complete these types of projects now, so I'm enjoying that freedom.

    These days, I often re-engineer everyday items into better versions of themselves. It's nice to have something that's customized for you, or better than you can buy anywhere.

  • Usually it's money. Students are typically not very wealthy.

    I would have built SO much stuff back then if I only had the resources.
