2·3 days agoI think I can do one better. I have a contact that changed their phone number so I deleted the old one from my contact list. SOMEHOW MY PHONE STILL TRIES TO FUCKING DEFAULT TO THE DELETED NUMBER‽‽‽

Technology@beehaw.org•Linux kernel maintainers are following through on removing Intel 486 support
4·3 days agoFor reference, that means the 486 has maybe as many transistors as the board that runs my 11-year-old 3D printer firmware, and that was considered something between the “absolute bare minimum” and “honestly kinda underpowered” at the time I bought it. The only thing that board does is run some loops that send basic signals to some stepper motor drivers, and some basic-ass “bang-bang” style heat control. The actual heavy lifting of organizing and sending the position controls line by line is done by a Raspberry Pi.

5·16 days agoI kinda like the idea of exponential fines. First time, exponent is 1, probably survivable, maybe second time with an exponent of 2, but if you don’t fix your shit it quickly become untenable.
Would be nice to do something similar on property taxes for single family home. Home 1 has an exponent of 1, home 2 has exponent of 2 and so on. Creates a natural block to people owning a stupid number of homes by just making it too damn expensive.
Drink verification can. (I know this is a joke, but someone somewhere will probably try to make it not a joke)
But this is a pretty damn close second.

1·1 month agoGod that thing needs some help based on the last time I tried to use it. I’d love for it to be a viable replacement for Fusion 360, but right now I can’t use it effectively enough to be able to get a basic design through to even identify issues.

Technology@beehaw.org•California Just Killed Open Source - YouTube
4·2 months agoHonestly, the only parts that can’t be off the shelf are the nozzle, heat brake, heat sink, and some gears. So if you are halfway determined, buy whatever cheap-ass printer and swap their electronics to an Arduino mega with a stepper motor shield, like, that’s it, just plug and play your new control board in, flash whatever firmware and away you go. Hell, most of the super cheap ones are already just run on an Arduino clone of some sort.

World News@beehaw.org•Police seize art posters depicting Trump, Putin and Netanyahu in Nazi uniforms from Canberra bar
3·2 months agoSatire’s the first word that popped into my head, but now that I’m probably overthinking it, is there a better term for this kind of commentary?

World News@beehaw.org•Police seize art posters depicting Trump, Putin and Netanyahu in Nazi uniforms from Canberra bar
32·2 months agoThe trump and Nyetnu (fuck it, I ain’t double checking spelling) posters are obviously satire, but I could see an argument that someone might be confused on the other three if there wasn’t the obvious context of everything else going on around them.

2·3 months agoSometimes I wonder why copyright isn’t the same length as a patent? I don’t think it particularly matters whether you use utility patent or design patent length. Patent law has it’s faults, but as someone who both has patents and has had to deal with someone else beating me to an idea, it seems to be a better system than whatever the fuck Disney has managed to turn copyright into.
