They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Fits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.
Wow, never occurred to me before, but this is such an elegant, and simple solution.
It’s an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary…
The cat physics are also outstanding. You can tell there were animators just sitting there studying how cats move for many, many hours.
So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?
They don’t say why the US hasn’t paid out yet, and the way it’s stated in this article and the linked article inside implies that it’s a failing on the government side.
With the significant delays and attempts to bring in off shore labor, it’s much more likely that the factory hasn’t hit the targets needed to receive the subsidy.
The government is using the cash as an incentive to build the factory, not just handing out cash for no reason. Just like the Foxconn factory that failed in Wisconsin, they need to hit milestones to get the money, it doesn’t get handed out upfront, otherwise they’d risk a company just taking the money and running.
Pretty neat idea, hopefully the equipment needed keeps getting smaller and cheaper.
Right now it doesn’t make a lot of sense except for larger, or shared maker type spaces.
Can’t anymore, there are too many to give that much coverage.
Looks perfect! Love these little one off projects.
Damn, that’s pretty slow. An ebike can easily match that speed.
That would certainly make it so everyone can share the road comfortably, and encourage more non-car traffic.
Wait, this sounds really familiar.
Also, the link to your store is broken.
I opened this expecting to be disappointed, but this looks like a finished, real product.
I’m extremely impressed at the dedication and the quality of the work! AND you’re providing all your hard work in easy to access, and easy to update files.
You are good people.
A backup is an emergency protection, not a primary plan. This attitude is dangerously close to making the backup a critical part of their uptime.
Well, with multiple users you’d need to decide what the use case is for the whole NAS and then work down from there.
Are you sharing everything in the NAS with everyone? In that case your NAS setup is fine, just a little permissive, because with RW to everything, the end users can break everything.
If it were me setting this up, I’d have different mount points for different users. 1 mount for each user that only they can read/write (not even you should be able to see it), and 1 mount that everyone can read/write, maybe if you want to go a little bonkers, 1 mount that everyone can read, but only you can write to.
Then you’d mount those three to separate mounts in your /media, and you can link them from your home directory for specific use cases.
Obviously this is completely overkill, but you can take the parts that sound appealing to you and ignore the rest.
How many users are there?
Is there a chance that the computer will boot without access to the NAS (aside from failure conditions).
Are you doing anything with ownership to prevent reading, or changing, sensitive files?
There’s a really good interview with Rushkoff on the You Are Not So Smart podcast, gives more context to the story and has some great info.
You could theoretically split some of that power from multiple sources though. Run one USB-C line to power the hot end, one to run the bed, and one for the electronics and motors.
Would get pretty complicated pretty quick, but it might work with a LOT of effort.
I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.
Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.
