I just wish that I could justify the cost. I love the idea, and the execution, but I am not paying over ~$250 for a phone when that lower mid range works more than well enough for me.

Oh geez. My extremely niche (and I mean niche) community where I am the only poster ever has 60 subscribers. It’s almost horrifying.

!enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world is way more in line for this.

This seriously does not belong in a Technology community.

I wonder where the Steam Deck falls since it can be used as a general computer, but the primary intended use is to play games.

Yes! You know what it is, don’t you boy? Shall I tell you? It’s the least I can do. Steel isn’t strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child.

In the world of firmware in this context, it could be as simple as “attempt to reconnect one neuron.”

Forced firmware upgrades are what’s been happening to Mitch McConnell lately.

Well, in terms of for real metrology, you are correct. A better comparison would have been Brown and Sharpe. However, Starrett has more than enough reputation of everything that they produce being of a very high standard- primarily layout tools like calipers, precision levels, etc.

ETA: This could very well be my bias as an American showing. I know from experience that the fit and finish of a high end pair of Mitutoyo calipers have what I consider to be subpar to the Starrett equivalent in terms of fit and finish. There is also a $500 ish price difference which could also be a subconscious bias.

On the dowel hole point, just measuring this stuff is going to take at the bare minimum an automated and purpose built CMM, which will drive the cost up even more. If we are to assume +/- 5 microns for every single part - we are talking about the level of manufacturing that Mitutoyo or Starrett have. This will be a multi-million dollar vehicle that noone would buy.

The article states “sub 10 micron”, which I interpreted to be +/- .0004" in practice

These tolerances are very possible to hold while machining, but speaking from my perspective having been a machinist by trade for 20+ years, holding those tolerances for every single part on a vehicle is going to get prohibitively expensive really fucking fast.

We’re mostly just a bunch of Unix nerds over here.

Shadow of the Colossus. Not only is the game play fantastic, but it is one of the strongest pieces of environmental story telling to ever happen imo. You have to pay attention to get the full story out of it, but is gripping.

echo "Why use many word when few do trick" | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)if(length($i)>3)printf("%s ",$i);print""}' echo "Why use many word when few do trick" | sed -e 's/\b\w\{1,3\}\b//g' echo "Why use many word when few do trick" | grep -oE '\b\w{4,}\b'

Nothing says older millennial quite like having to learn how to edit config.sys with no help from the internet in order to get the sound working for a game that came in a shareware collection.
