  1. Re:This seems to be a refinement of PeachyPrinter. on OLO, World's First Portable 3D Printer Prints On Top Of Smartphones (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Indeed, the Peachy Printer is incredibly late. I've always thought their "floating" idea was a bit strange. At least they're not using the sound output of a computer to control the laser anymore.

    If you want to see amazing follow-ups about the production of a Kickstarted 3D printer, look at the Tiko 3D printer.

    You wouldn't print a car, would you?

    Yes they would.

  3. Low-res? You've never seen anything printed on a resin printer.

    ...and then that moment when an important call comes in and you wreck your print job...

    GEORGE: The machine will get it...
    BETSY: No, no, it's not on...
    GEORGE: They'll call back.
    BETSY: But George, what if it's an emergency?
    GEORGE: In the whole world right now, there's maybe three emergencies. Why would you think, on this entire planet, that you're one of those three?
    BETSY: George, please. Hello? What? Oh my god!
    GEORGE: Alright, maybe four.

  5. There's still a limit to the computer power difference between CPU generations.

  6. I thought Witcher 3 was the new Crysis?

    So it's not the "same computer" since 1993 if you've changed all the parts from it. If you still had all the older parts would you be able to built another complete computer?

    What we really need to be afraid of is VR headsets that we can't remove without getting our brain fried. MMORPG games could be quite dangerous if it happened.

    Is that the same PS4 VR headset that has a much higher refresh rate than the HTC Vive?

    So you have the same computer case since 1993.

  11. Almost all you gear is fine, but you really should upgrade your computer though.

  12. Going from a small desktop computer with a 2.5GHz CPU where you can upgrade the RAM to one where the CPU is only 1.4GHZ and the RAM is soldered on-board and you can't upgrade later on making the computer more expensive at the time of purchase since Apple asks for insane prices for the RAM. That's the new kind of Apple improvement.

    I seem to recall some marketing blurb from Apple about their new Apple TV having nearly the same power as the Xbox 360.

    ...partner with Apple. They can amp up the next AppleTV...

    Apple just released a new Apple TV. Given how long it takes for them to update these things, I wouldn't count on a new one for another two to three years.

  15. "sales and marketing" ignored the engineer with the technical knowhow.

    The worst thing is, this is NASA we're talking about here, there's no "products" or "sales". So how can anyone else hope to achieve security? It's hopeless!

    At this point $400 isn't even budget-friendly for a 3D printer.

    No but there's "carbon-fiber" and gold plating options if you have more money than sense.

    None of that fake, cheap, low-end "not real gold" from Apple. ;-)

  25. Re:16GB storage on Apple Unveils Smaller iPhone SE, Starting At $399 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, Apple tends to view their hardware as superior so with 64GB on their low-end devices, that would make another selling point against low-end Android devices. Price differences aside, of course...
