[Gamers Nexus] ASUS Says We're "Confused"
  • They could have just:

    “We’ve received customer feedback on our repair process and are reviewing how we conduct operations. We appreciate your concerns and strive to provide excellent computer products with reliable and trustworthy service.”

    Doubling down on shitty behavior is never good business.

  • Family of California Navy veteran who died after officer knelt on his neck settles lawsuit for $7.5M
  • Yeah. Everybody pays for it, but the guilty cops pay as much as every other city resident despite being at fault.

    Malpractice for cops should be something anybody who touches or is affected by a city budget advocates for, as unplanned expenditures for several million may mean cutting essential programs and staff.

  • Still trapped on Baltimore ship, months after bridge collapse
  • The ship had an engineering casualty which led to a loss of control. The navigator didn’t decide to drive into the bridge.

    The captain is ultimately responsible, but the crew is not without fault.

  • Rebuilding homes in Gaza will cost $40bn and take 16 years, UN finds
  • “Even under optimistic scenarios for the pace of physical reconstruction, the scale of destruction in Gaza has been such that, simply from the narrow perspective of moving in building materials, it would still take until 2040 and probably longer to restore the housing units destroyed since the start of the war,” the researchers concluded.

    Article explains the reasoning. They chose the metric of moving building materials into devastated areas

  • This shit can destroy companies and tank its value

    Leaving hundreds of contacts in limbo with no resolution has the potential to cost more than $17 million in legal fees and termination clauses.

    Where the fuck is the board of directors and why are none of the shareholders revolting?

  • Biden administration to require advanced safety tech on all new cars and trucks
  • Cameras are (generally) passive systems. They do not send out light and analyze the returns. They just absorb light and reconstruct a scene.

    Radar systems are active. They send out pulses or continuous waves of EM energy at different frequencies than light (much lower) and analyze the returns. They do not need existing light to do their jobs because they're sending out and receiving their own specific emissions. Because they run at lower frequencies than light, they are able to "see" through certain weather phenomena like fog and are relatively unfazed by darkness.

    That all being said, you can measure things passively and actively. Radar is pretty damn good at measuring distances, as that's the entire reason behind its invention. I'd say its much more reliable and accurate compared to optical systems.

  • Father pays tribute to ‘daddy’s girl’ found d**d at school before detention
  • “I saw photos of Caitlyn obtaining her scuba diving licence at age 10 in the Philippines, playing tennis in Scotland, modelling in Singapore, camping in Wales, riding helicopters in New Zealand, skiing across Japan, honing rifle marksmanship in Birmingham, driving at age 13 at Mercedes Brooklands, and hiking the Great Wall of China.”

    She’s done more things than I have, and I’m probably an adult.

    Young Americans' wealth has soared since the pandemic
  • It’s interesting to see these posts in contrast with posts showing that debt is soaring and that young people aren’t saving for retirement.

    If median millennial wealth has greatly improved, then it’s not necessarily a “rich vs average and poor” scenario, but more likely “rich and average vs poor.” Add to that surveys that most people aren’t saving and now the data doesn’t agree with what people are saying.

  • Finished printing the bento box... now waiting on parts

    Here's a small update to my bento box building log.

    This is a small air scrubber meant to cut down on some of the VOCs that come with melting plastics such as ABS.

    I've printed all of the bits in ABS and they fit together well. Now I need to order some fans, filters, carbon pellets, magnets, and fasteners to get everything situated.

    Building a Bento Box

    I got a P1S for my family as an early Christmas present. I'm interested in creating parts that may eventually be used in cars, so I'm trying to get things ready for full-time ABS and ASA production.

    This is my 4th print using ABS. First time was an okay benchy which needed some flow calibration and displayed some slight bowing at the base. Second time was a good benchy which seemed dialed in. Third print was an articulated Onyx Pokemon which seemed great.

    I've printed the main body for the bento box in 3DF transparent black ABS.

    Some of my tweaked settings for success were:

    • Blanket over the printer. This is in my garage and temperatures dip. The blanket helped with the warping.
    • Setting the bed temp to 100C and setting the level to around 40mm down from the top with the chamber fan at 30%. Did this for around 15 minutes to get everything inside up to temperature.
    • Nozzle temp first layer of 260C
    • Nozzle temp other layers of 270C
    • Bed temp constant 100C

    I plan on printing the other components and sourcing the parts spread out across December, so I'll post updates!
