    I've often felt frustrated by the processing fees. Can you elaborate on handling this yourself? Which EU country are you based in?

    Was this before the introduction of the IOSS rules? I can't imagine picking something up directly at customs. International shipping volume has increased a lot, customs does not ha…

    That actually is via the postal service (BPost). The postage rates are reasonable, it's just the fee that they add for handling the customs administration that is unreasonable. And…

    The issue isn't the import duty and VAT, the issue is the 20€ or more fee that the shipping companies charge for the privilege of handling the customs administration for you. In Be…

    I was skeptical, the site seemed to only show renders, nothing practical. It looks real though: https://simonhackett.com/2021/05/23/redflow-gen3-zbm/ Datasheet: https://redflow.com…

    That's up to the developers, graphics settings should not be synced. Unfortunately some games just dump all settings in there. Steam Cloud docs explicitely mention this: https://pa…

    Displacement is 1000nm, so 3 orders of magnitude less than 1mm. As for frequency response, looks like they tested up to 1000Hz. I see no reason why it wouldn't work at any frequenc…

    I strongly agree, the innovation needed is in haptics on the actuator side. Can you expand on the static and low frequency? My impression was that if you're aiming for fingertips, …

    Yes, nylon strap is the way to go. Feels great, can get wet, far more durable. I bought this 18mm strap: https://aliexpress.com/item/33044774071.html And this tool: https://aliexpr…

    I really like the Mikado Method [0] when you find yourself shaving yak, at least when coding. When you see something that bothers you, you've got two choices: either fix it now, or…

    Thanks for your comments. I don't understand much of it, but I will come back to it every now and then. I'm generally very satisfied with my Rilatine. It helps immensely, I can act…
