In my industry, comms over RS485 are more common, but we still have some controls talking via RS232

Hospital laboratory instrumentation still uses serial connections via RS232 as well. It's slooooowly switching to actual TCP connections, but you'll find plenty of term servers in most facilities. I get to explain transmit-to-receive issues almost daily!

Turns out the Juicero is way overengineered for just being an electric press or even a consumer product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cp-BGQfpHQ

I want some rich dissilusioned person to gift me one, so I can disable all the DRM and use it like a Juisir. What a retarded but nicely built device.

they ship you the bags, $40 for 5 per week, on a subscription. most of the point of the machine is to avoid the mess associated with juicing

The Juicero that uses the cocktail BS is more powerful hardware, insanely. Even though you can squeeze the bags by hand. Someone will hack the firmware for it eventually and remove the DRM and WIFI requirements(??  ), then it could squeeze real fruit. Thinking about it I don't know what you'd use for bags.

You're right. I wonder if hand squeezing gets the same volume of liquid out.

GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:You're right. I wonder if hand squeezing gets the same volume of liquid out. i think it's been tested (can't dredge up a link now) and you can get 95% as much as the machine with your bare hands, twice as fast edit oh wait yeah I can dredge up a link: Bloomberg performed its own press test, pitting a Juicero machine against a reporter’s grip. The experiment found that squeezing the bag yields nearly the same amount of juice just as quickly—and in some cases, faster—than using the device. … Reporters were able to wring 7.5 ounces of juice in a minute and a half. The machine yielded 8 ounces in about two minutes.

in reading more on the juicero i think that their original idea, to make the juice packs from fruit from local farms that wasn't cosmetically good enough for stores but still fine for consumption is a good one, but they drifted away from that pretty quickly. it's a perfect example of silicon valley overengineered hype. as a marketing dude i have seen a ton of firms like this that just want something, anything to market and sell, they don't know poo poo about the actual design and production of the device or service or software they're hyping because 'we'll just get it done in china (or india, or the philippines, or iraq) what they are paying to ship the bags back east to be recycled is also hilarious

Well, when your design market is "the International Space Station", and you want to wring some blood out of that stone (which your machine won't recognize because DRM  ) then of course your marketing people will do something stupid.

Sweevo posted:RS232 is the de-facto standard for industrial equipment, and most networking gear above consumer level. It's basically everywhere once you look outside the desktop PC bubble. If you want to keep an eye on a Linux (or similar) machine and be able to talk to it if it won't get past the boot loader or when the network is down, RS-232 is a reasonable solution. Sure, you can get a network-attached KVM that maybe has a lovely Java applet or ActiveX control so it can stream the captured VGA signal, and that will work with Windows too, but RS-232 is easier to get working. RS-232 is also used a lot when developing and debugging embedded hardware. mystes posted:With most things other than citrus fruit you're probably better off using a bender. gently caress no, I think the Juicero would be way less annoying.

So 8-bit guy recently released this video for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixgsYAfZ8eo It's about the Tyco Video Camera toy from the 90's, I never heard of this thing so I can't imagine it being very popular.

I still have a Tyco Kids Camera from the 90s. If I remember correctly they cost nearly $100 when they first launched, but eventually they dropped down in various places a year later to the $20-30 price range when I bought mine. There was a Barbie version of something like this about a half-dozen or so years later, though, which had color and wireless. https://www.amazon.com/Barbie-BE-278-Wireless-Video-Camera/dp/B00006666K https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M435_UM9AJ4

Custom machining and precision engineering for a thing that does nothing more than smash a bag. Also he was talking out his rear end at the beginning when he said that Caterpillar just wanted their machines on your job sites so they could sell you spare parts. One of their main selling points and a large part of their business philosophy is that they provide their clients with equipment they specifically will not need spare parts for.
