"In 2026, if you are not delegating this kind of engineering overhead to AI, you are burning money. And, more importantly, you are burning your life."
Give me a break.
Also, based on your LinkedIn you aren't an engineer at all?
Tungsten will certainly isolate better than other softer metals. The entire product is centred around embedding vibrations into a physical object. The material that is used to transfer or isolate those vibrations is important especially at signal levels used in lathe cutting.
It isn't like saying any of those things because they are referring to recording media and not to a pipe dream invented by tech bros to attract investors so that their deeply-in-the-red company can stay afloat a little while longer. AI can't create anything.
I have a cassette copy of Microsoft Advanced Basic for the SOL-20 that I got in a box of "junk" (junk in quotes because it included a very rare early copy of Zork for the Apple II that paid for the box about 40x over) at an estate sale years ago. Need to figure out if I can get it to load in this somehow.
Figma and Spotify have some of the best web apps out there as well, so that's all good too!
The Spotify web app is still much more limited than the desktop app.
Did you know that Adobe ported Photoshop etc to web, with all the AI bells and whistles and the web apps perform incredibly well?
Perfect if all you need out of Photoshop is the AI portion, I guess.
As a side note, it is no surprise that Adobe's suite of creative apps [...] now work incredibly well on the web across all operating systems
They literally don't.
Quickshare (the Airdrop alternative) ACTUALLY WORKS
Saying this like Airdrop isn't one of Apple's most bulletproof "just works" features ever
Lol yeah I'm sure drilling out a bunch of rivets would be much better than "adhesives and prying"
Adding more holes to a surface isn't going to make it more waterproof
It also sounds extremely counterproductive to try and sabotage your competition by.. driving your customers away? I have no love for these companies but it's a silly conclusion to jump to.
Sony uses a particularly narrow lens mount. A wider aperture would be easier with Canon RF or Nikon Z mounts (Nikon Z having the widest throat diameter and the shortest flange distance among full frame cameras).
I see young people frustrated when their cars get broken into or when they get robbed and criminals are not held accountable
Yes people of all ages tend to be unhappy when crime happens to them. Not sure where you live but lowering taxes and government oversight is actually a bad way to improve taxpayer funded and government run law enforcement agencies. None of this has anything to do with AI though and young people can be angry about multiple things.
I don't think you're going to have many good conversations if you go around interrupting people trying to read in peace, regardless of where you do it. What a bizarre sentiment.
Printmaking is a huge part of the art form. I think a lot of people miss this fact in the "shoot and scan" age of film photography. Not everyone cares, or even needs to care, but those who do really should read the Ansel Adams trilogy.
The EU forbids them from including power adapters. They're still included everywhere else.
Yes that is how anecdotes work
$129/year is surely better than $300 once, 15 years ago. Though I'm guessing not offering it for free is to keep it distinct from iMovie and to maintain some semblance of "Pro"-ness (which I'm gathering is up for debate either way.. the last time I did any actual video editing it was on Final Cut Pro 5 so I'm out of the loop)
That was when I started remapping caps lock to esc and have never gone back.
My only point of reference is my MacBook Pro trackpad but I have no problem using my finger to move the cursor with my thumb resting on the trackpad and clicking. Not exactly the same because you lose some of the tactility of discrete buttons but it seems somewhat possible at least.
I didn't say it was $1/shot yet, though medium format Portra 400 is $16/roll (if buying in a 5-pack) which is at minimum $1/shot. E100G is a bit pricier depending on where you buy it as well. I'm mostly just salty because a decade ago I was paying $6-7 roll for Portra and now (in Canada) it's closer to $35-40.
Kodak isn't far off from $1/shot retail for some of their film stocks.
Titanic 2
(I was replying to the person who called Nirvana cacophony/not music)
Are you 100 years old?
Yep it's a full DRM-free download.
I have a MS Extended Basic cassette for the Sol-20, also 8080 based.
I mean it's quite literally "we don't use typescript because some developers over-use it" which is essentially the same thing
I used this for a project a few years ago. It's quite intuitive and made developing a workflow/graph editor a relative breeze.
Similarly if Apple opened up every API and allowed every smart watch to do whatever it wanted, I'd still prefer an Apple Watch. I tried using a Garmin and "not being able to send an sms" isn't even on the list of things I disliked about it. Ugly clunky interface, pogo pin charging, a companion app that at times wouldn't look out of place on a Windows CE smartphone circa 2006, etc.
Dualit "Classic" toasters are the only toasters I'm aware of with heating elements that can be replaced. Every cheap toaster I've owned has died from the wire in one of the heating elements burning out. The only two toasters I'd buy these days are a Dualit or a vintage Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. Dualit wins for the modern slot widths though.
You're describing a caricature, not an actual group of people.
It's a term used to describe people who find everything a "real nuisance". There are NIMBYs in my town who spent months protesting sidewalks being built in a new residential subdivision.
It's kind of inherently a caricature.
You seem to be getting personally offended by someone suggesting an established crafts store doesn't need to be positioned as a financial asset – you might be projecting a bit with the "holier than though" comment.
That only applies to couriers who want to participate in the program, not consumers who want to self-clear their imported shipments. A person doesn't need to register, they can just take the appropriate forms to a CBSA office and pay any taxes/duties themselves. Kind of a confusing thing to have posted at the top of a page that seems more applicable to consumers than commercial importers.
