For anyone interested in the background, I've written a detailed post about it as well as provided the code: https://www.brt.fyi/posts/prime-flow-field/

Hello, I've written a more detailed post about it https://www.brt.fyi/posts/prime-flow-field/ and also put the code in a public repo for anyone to use https://github.com/brtmax/pri…

True, storage wasn't really a concern, my M4 has 512GB. Enough for my everyday tasks, and anything larger I store on my NAS anyways. I got it in April 2026, but afaik they also rai…

Thank you!

Can't name any concrete place but maybe try a local Hackerspace? They often help with that for free and you can give a donation

That reminds me, I should have mentioned an even more backwards design which is that of the vent placement on my older Thinkpad X1. It has the air intake vents on the bottom, they …

So I've weighed it with my cheap kitchen scale, that says it weighs 1222g now. Sadly I did not weigh it before. I did look online and saw 1240g for the same model/specs. Take of th…

Thanks for sharing that story! That is a nice way to think about it.

I've read online that some people use the corners near the indent for opening the lid for "pain stimming", so you are definitely not alone with that :D

Oh interesting, thanks!

I get the point there and it does make sense, however I think there are certain limits to where it applies. I use it on the go a lot, crammed in small seats in the train for exampl…

I think I'd also go with the debur tool next time, glad it worked well for you!

Definitely, thanks for the reply! :-)

That's a very creative approach. How does it attach?

I have to disagree with you on the price. The cheap price was one of the reasons I ended up going with it. It's an M4 Air with 24GB of Memory. I got it for around 950 Euros, and at…

What frustrates me is that there seems to be no in between with Apple. Some of the components very much do feel like they are designed with function over form in mind. Both softwar…

That would have been a good reference, shame I didn't think of it. Blades definitely is the better term. This reminds me, the backplate of the Mac is also sharp as heck. I actually…

Ah right, thanks for the hint. I try to be more precise in more wording, but English isn't my first language so comments like these are really useful.

I know I know :D I have not done any optimization yet. Maybe I should also add some toggle to disable it or reduce the number of particles

That contains mostly placeholder stuff from Wikipedia and does not go much into detail, I didn't get around to finishing it yet. I'll try to write it up in more detail

Thanks for the encouragement, glad you like the background :-) Yeah I phrased it a bit badly initially. But what I meant was pretty much what you stated!

You are correct, that was phrased badly. I've tried to update it, thanks for the comment.
