As another replier said, they use an HP cartridge. So this open printer will be ewaste in 5 years

I’m curious how they source the ink.

I recently watched a video about a 3D printer with color that is effectively obsolete because it used what was once common hp cartridges that hp discontinued.

They are large and heavy. They are only useful for their virtually infinite life. If the military needed it for a few of their bases, they’d contract it out, a few hundred would be built and that’s it.

For example a few thousand ISDN adapters were built for the government military. But it lacked corporate support because the Telcos didn’t want it cutting into their profits. So ISDN barely existed for consumers. Consumers suffered with 56k modems for 5-10 years until broadband- which telcos sold for more than a phone line, were immune from all the competition requirements of regular phone lines, plus got TV programming profit.

NIckel Iron is fantastic without any revolutionary improvements. Batteries made 100 years ago still work today. They are large and heavy so are only of use for home power.

The big “down side” which is the reason it isn’t commercially developed at large scale is that they last forever. No investors are going to give billions to a business that can’t generate revenue forever with a product that needs replacing every 3 years.

Connery was old school. He was into whiskey and beating women.

I doubt it will matter much. Like GPUs, prices during the crunch doubled. After the crunch prices went down ~20%. Everyone cheered that the shortage was over. No one seemed to notice that everyone was still paying 1.8X more.

So ram is up like 4x. After the shortage prices will drop 25%. People will be paying 3x for ram and think everything is great.

It’s a joke. At least I hope so.

They are already in use, even with manufactories in Spain.

That’s not a diamond transistor company. They are making diamond wafers to mount to traditional silicon. It’s a heatsink.

Here’s a good overview of the current state of the art in diamond transistor manufacturing.

I have a laptop with 48GB of VRAM

???

The AMD GPU in some Frameworks have 8GB of vram.

I did some googling and she could still be alive.

Anonymous girl. Photo by Gustave Gain possibly as late as 1940. If girl was 15 at the time of the photo she’d be 100 today.

It was performative after Musk’s sieg heil crashed Tesla sales.

A term means something and applies somewhere.

Words are redefined all the time. Kilo should mean 1000. It was the international standard definition for 150 years. But now with computers it means 1024.

Confabulation would have been a better choice. But people have chosen hallucinate.

Hallucinate is the word that has been assigned to what you described. When you don’t assign additional emotional baggage to the word, hallucinate is a reasonable word to pick to decribe when an llm follows a chain of words that have internal correlation but no basis in external reality.

I’ve got a movie for you:

Windows Media center was an amazing money saver! I cancelled all my cable boxes, bought a server to run 8.1, bought some used xbox360’s for every TV in the house, and everything was paid for in 9 months compared to the cable company rental fees. So I not only got 3 xbox360s and a server for “free” but was saving money for the next 3 years until I cancelled cable completely.

Plus I had unlimited TV show storage and could transcode anything I wanted to keep permanently to mp4.

People totally got killed by doing their own maintenance

People have totally gotten killed from maintenance done by a “professional” (new kid on the job at the shop.)

I watch YouTuber CarCareNut and he’s shown many stupid mistakes made by dealerships.

I assure you I take greater care doing repairs than a tech who will get yelled at if they don’t finish the job fast.

Yeah but my mp3’s from Kazaa are all 128. I want to hear them perfectly as the original ripper intended without distortion from the cables. The gold connector adds warmth to the sound.

Funny how what is a black market underground economy in Russia because of the danger is “market research data” legally sold in the US.

I was intrigued by their open hardware claim but then saw the pi/Mali/rk3588 options all of which are more closed source (require binary blobs) than the x86 they eschew for being closed.
