I always thought the point of standing desks was, that you could periodically switch between standing and sitting. That should be at least somewhat beneficial right?

Only if it’s well lubricated

It is a problem, when the camera is focused on the sun for extended periods of time. The heat concentration on the sensor can damage the IR and or Beyer filter, kill individual pixels or even crack the sensor outright.

Also, be extremely careful with DSLRs, the sensor will be fine, but your eye will not.

X/0.5 easy

That it doesn’t exist. Real money saver that one.

En, I don’t know. So much innovation has happened because of parent workarounds. Also they can kind of stop big companies just completely copying some innovation and driving the inventor out of businesses It’s pretty apparent in the 3d printing industry. Companies like Prusa, E3d, Ultimaker, MakerBot and Aleph-Objects brought consumer 3d printing from basically a hot glue gun to better than some $100k+ industry machines. All of them used to be completely open sourced. Ok, MakerBot and to some degree Ultimaker just went off the deep end, but Prusa is now also holding back their design files for a while after release, E3d has released their new hotend as basically closed Source. Why? Well they want to avoid going the path of Aleph-Objects who had to sell out to a holding company because Chinese manufacturers copied everything as fast as it could be developed and sold it for a fraction of the price.

I’d love if it didn’t have to be this way, but it kind of does now.

Edit: if near monopolies like intel AMD and Nvidia would have to give up their parents the world would most definitely be a more innovative place :D

Being better than one of the most destructive industries ever is not a high bar. But the most effective way to harvest lithium remains an open pit mine, which are arguably worse than literally anything else.

That’s not the point. If you rip a dvd, you babe the movie, but you can’t sell DVDs with the movie, because it is copyrighted. After the “AI” has recreated it, the copyright is gone, so you can sell that version with impunity.

I feel like 1500 for THE premium office chair really isn’t much when you look at, for example Smartphone prices. And lots of people spend nearly as much time in their computer chair as in their bed. And I don’t think 1500$ is a lot for a bedframe, mattress, pillow and blanket.

I’ve heard they are worth it, though I have never sat in one. IKEA also makes surprisingly good office chairs, those I know and recommend.

That would be funny, but it’s more likely because they are about to go under if they don’t change something up. Doing one of the most requested this seems like a good start in that direction.

Even relatively small amounts of radiation can be problematic when in prolonged direct skin contact. The worst are the ones, that just have thorium oxide powder sprinkled on them tho. Only slightly radioactive, sure, but when ingested that can quickly cause serious harm!

A good mmofps, PlanetSide 2 used to fill that itch, but it has morphed into something unrecognizable.

It most likely stands for raspberry Pi, sorry to disappoint you…

Yes, I meant generics. Spelling on phone keyboards is rather difficult when your thumbs are as wide as mine…

That is very highly dependent on your definition of great. Compared to cheap ass shit 20 years ago, sure. But compared to quality today, no.

Lots of them, yes. But most of them aren’t designed there. And yes, I am aware that there are reputable Chinese brands, but the Chinese genetics are not those.
