do iPhones still do that thing where if you double tap the gesture bar it drops the top half of the screen down so you can use it one handed?

2027 Chevy Bolt review: why’s this great, budget EV only here for a ‘limited time’?

with the amount of fog out here today looksl ike im a silent hill game

a part of me wishes I had covered SMRRF for work, because with the trip I would have been able to deduct £275 from next year's taxes on milage alone. damnit why do I have a conscience (or whatever that annoying voice is)

14.8p per mile for those in the UK wondering

£88.79 thats what it cost me to drive up to manchester and back. 600 miles, give or take. the UK is known ofr its expensive DCFC costs, and i chose poorly. i planned ot mostly use Ionity, andbought a plan to use them. £10 for the month would roughly halve my charge costs fro mthem however i ended

Let me be your narrative designer! I'm great at mechanical integration into lore. I'm not sure I've ever said that here on bluesky before, but I'm trained and experienced! Also more animated series need a big picture narrative designer js

one thing i hope to memorise for the next SMRRF: Ask to take a selfie to the first i see people i know, so im not trying to rememebr to do it after 5 hours of talking. also, bonus, try not to be so scared about asking for people tangentially related to people i already know

i will say, incredibly mad at my self for not making the effort to get at least a home battery system installed last year. sure prices for the capacity where higher, but installs are higher now because of , well, you know why.

i will say, i was excited to see the HYC400 Gen2 use a touchscreen... i hope its more responsive than the touchscreen used on the HYC50

ooooh Alpitronic HYC50 used at Ionity!

ooooh Alpitronic HYC50 used at Ionity!

one thing i came away from smrrf thinking is that, as cool as i thought INDX was, its actually way better in person. way smaller ,way faster, way quicker. does 4 (though apparently up to 6 with some fuckery) tooldheads on a V0 make sense? no, but does it have to?

clicked on the new "amazon haul" button on the homepage, and wow it just looks like wish/temu/shein/whatever the next one will be. i know amazon has gone downhill over tthe years but wow

one of the odd things i saw that i dont think i took a photo of at SMRRF was the MUON3D printer which, for lack of a better term ,looks like if apple made the positron 3d printer. all aluminium and glass. not saying they stole or cloned the design, but its... similar

So as a follow up from yesterday, i have ot say i had a great time at SMRRF, thank you to all at the @e3donline.bsky.social team and SMF for putting it on. it was great to see friends like @joeltelling.bsky.social and @davidtobin.bsky.social again and just chat about life, family (and shoes) i got

im just saying, if youre using an iPhone chip in a low end macbook, instead of caling it the neo, it would have been the perfect time to reboot the "iBook" name.

and I'm home! 600 miles in 2 days, the journey back was much better than the journey out, but SMRRF was amazing, a part of me wishes I had the time,money and spoons to do both days, maybe next year, but then again, of it's in Manchester, I'm likely not driving up. thanks to everyone I saw, I'll

friends, in my hubris I forgot that doing. long motorway journey at 3pm on a Friday was a bad idea, and it will not take 6 hours but 9, i won't get to my hotel till near midnight

on the road, see you in 6 hours Manchester, see you all at SMRRF tomorrow!

"i have usernames older than you" goes harder than it deserves to

TIL Prusa Research have an affiliate programe/rewards program. if you want a Prusa Printer, and use code @Mobile_Dom we both get some cool shit. it depends on what youre buying, but if you pick up a Core One+, i get $30 and 350 Prusameters, and you get 100 Prusameters and a roll of Prusament PETG

is crunchyroll broken for anynoe else? i cant update my payment method, add a new payment method etc

im fully wiling to talk about the limits of platforms and admit when theyre out of their depth. one of my biggest peeves in recent years is people still calling chromeOS "jsut a browser" it (unfortunately) hasnt been that in a fair long time. chromeOS has been intermingled with Android for almost

just saw someone call Andrew Tate "Lawrence of Dry Labia" and spat my scotch out.

i could just be very dumb, but why has the nrf52 microcontroller just taken off this last year? preivously everything was some form of STM32 or RP2040 in recent year, but the last 12-18 months im seeing the nrf52 *everywhere*

middle aged whiute men with a "general topic" podcast should be banned or put on a watch list, i swear to fuckign god, nothing good ever comes from it

Blade 2.0 coming in at roughly 210Wh/KG is huge. it charging at up to 10C and htne having 150kWh packs in testing is huge. the reason for having NMC is dwindling quickly. re: Na-Ion. this tackles one of them, but if Na-Ion can be built at scale, the lack of geopolitics around it are game changing

like i said yesterday, the Macbook Neo is not for me, but hopefully it makes Intel, AMD and Qualcomm pull their fingers out of their arses and make $600 laptops worth a damn

i am 53 minutes into that 64 minute video i posted about a few weeks ago. this is also only the first pass, im going to need to go over it again possibly twice. i cant wait for this to be done

oh this man is doing bumps off of every even relatively flat surface he can get his mildly swollen hands on

you dont want a more powerful macbook neo. you want the air and pro to come in fun colours, and thats a valid thing to want, laptops should be fun and colourful again

is it just me that cringes when i see b-roll of a factory in the us and its just got a monstrous sized US flag somewhere on the wall

is the Creality K2 Plus perfect? god no, but man is it a breath of fresh air on how much quieter it is than a lot of the other printers i have. i can still tell its on and printing, but its not shaking my office and sounding like a concorde taking off

its not for me, but a $600 macbook is for a lot of people. 8GB of DRAM isnt a lot but macOS doesuse it better than Windows, the SWAP in macOS is pretty good, however theat does mean more wear and tear on the NAND, which is also non removable/repairable.

whatever happened to PirateSoftware? he was all over my youtube for like a month a year ago and then nothing

In the last month, Marin has had their gender affirming surgery pulled out of reach, and now they’ve been laid off. I’m doing what I can to support them here but if anyone has any help they can offer I can’t bear to see them lose hope like this

if youre not going to get rid of the pre-authorisation charge, at least let me pre-pay. i may not have enough cash for the £40 pre-auth, but i have enough for the £15 it'll cost me to charge, you know

no, i have never yearned for life, or enjoyed anything, what gave it away?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCQL... theres balls, and then theres "we'll sponsor you to put our prototype battery inside a near 3 grand very low production volume phone of a competitor" balls

Hotel booked, SMRRF is a go! i probably wont spend the entire day there, as its a 6 hour drive back down south, but i'll try to get as many selfies in as i can!

might have found a hotel, so smrrf might be back on

the verge is turning 15 this year, almost as many owners as engadget has had in that time www.theverge.com/tech/888364/...

I'm not the best at 3D modelling, but if its replciating functional parts from something thats just technical drawings. a few sketches, a lof or two and some extrusions, and my mums sewing machine has a new TPU foot

oh shit no, please, my wallet

theres something so fun about Daxomites "being weak to lead" like bitch so am i, there is no safe level of lead for me either, this bitch just gets supermans powers when its not around

Also, I prefer "denied" to "tried to shield from"

Remember those 3D printed doors for IKEA KALLAX that someone built a year or so ago? People are still modding the files, and someone just released a Kumiko pattern, and it's GORGEOUS and I love it

Norway is wild, 95%+ of all new cars sold are BEV. 50%+ of all cars on the road are BEV, yet we routinely hear that EVs cant work in the cold, in a country that can quite often get in the double digit negative temps. Norway is now removing petrol pumps at stations and replacing with chargers etc.
