the coolest thing about musk's space garbage is that every single satellite will have multiple components that will survive re-entry and have enough force to kill or injure spacex simply brushed off this concern with "any house will stop the debris from being harmful"

Clerical Terrors posted:https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/1218112589978193920 We have a few of those at my work, scattered around through the open floorplan. They're only intended for brief use, say to take a phone call. And so to keep people from camping in them all day, they're scientifically designed to start getting uncomfortable after about five minutes -- the barstool seat is small, and the table area is too narrow to open a laptop properly and too close to stretch out your arms. Even with these factors "assisting" a quick turnover, there still aren't enough of them, so most of the time people just have to do their loud-rear end conference call out in the open and disturb everyone in earshot anyway. I'm trying to popularize a term from Futurama for them, but so far it hasn't really caught on:

Well, thanks thread. I decided to confirm what I knew about my InstantInk printer. Results: I still can print just fine without a subscription because I don't have the special subscription-only cartridges. It scans just fine without any ink cartridges at all. HOWEVER IT STILL SURE IS A HP INKJET. I leave it on a shelf for two months doing nothing but scanning and it's internal cleanup algorithm has apparently been wasting ink for no good reason because those printheads are drier than great-grandma's vagina. When I boot it up without ink cartridges it first throws up a billion errors before it allows the scanning to happen. The cleanup algorithm might as well be fairy wishes and farts it's time to dig into the solvent box. Also yes I absolutely need a scanner and a printer because of the aforementioned paperwork nightmare. This fucker was 20 euro and it's needs-suiting enough. I have no idea how I'd go through one of those XL cartridges they send via the instant ink program before those dried up too. The ten buck ones get at best a month of printing regardless of use. Yeah I'm a bit angry that people interpreted that as me calling HP good or capitalism good. HP's a shitshow with their inkjets but it's just in the old streaky dry bullshit that really sticks in my craw. Computer janitoring has left me with a deep distaste for printers. Tamagotchis, for assholes, by assholes.

comedyblissoption posted:people didnt misinterpret you. you were saying artificial physical scarcity by remotely bricking working ink cartridges with ink was just a normal subscription service ripoff. Yes, that's what I was saying. I stand by it. You can disagree if you want. Which doesn't mean people weren't making wild loving guesses as to what I was saying or how the HP service worked. This is some Doctorow-level cyberpunk here. It's not a stepping stone to services that can be remotely cut off and deny you essential needs (that's 150 years old), it's not locking down cartridges you bought, it's not preventing you from scanning. HP's trick here is much older. You can compare the efficiency of the subscription services compared to cartridges to try to get the best advantage you can... but the actual bad deal here are consumer inkjets and their ink to begin with. They haven't been good for decades and if I legit didn't need the scanner I'd still not have one and I bought this one 2/3rds off. HP isn't going to do something evil in a way that differentiates them from regular capitalism because they are enjoying the situation where they're the default choice nobody ever got fired for buying. It's boring. But not as boring as this derail jesus loving christ I don't care how you try to bait me into continuing it from now on I'm sick of it and I'm endless loving monotony.

I’m fairly sure any claim of man-portable laser weaponry is suspect simply due to power requirements. unless, not pictured in this diagram, it’s attached to a small nuclear reactor being carried on a big truck or something idk.

I've become so cynically conditioned by disappointing articles from these kinds of sites that anytime I see one claiming some kind of sci-fi tech is becoming reality I automatically assume it's bogus.

The only current practical offensive laser is to combine autotargeting with facial recognition to burn out the eyeballs of every human being in a defined target area. This is a war crime, but when World War III breaks out that isn't going to matter.
