Not £12300 any more, £6000 last year and currently £3000.

Ahh good to know, thanks. PBT/PBAT is actually one of the "alloying" additives used to create PLA "Plus/Tough/Meta", as it increases hydrophilicity, deflection temperature, flow an…

There's also potentially big advances to be made in single use but easily recondition-able aluminium-air batteries due to an expanding market. An anecdote I've heard is a lot of R&…

It's hydrolyzed urethane, but I wouldn't recommend including any acetone to remove it, as you'll start to melt the laptop's ABS shell. 99% IPA, a scrubbing sponge and a bit of elbo…

If it's hard (possibly transparent) plastic and smells like stale puke, that'll be acetate based plastic and there's nothing that can be done. If it's a tacky "grip texture" which …

Not really feasible though: even now where players don't even need to buy the game, the server owner has to pay hundreds of $ a month for advertising/promoted ranking on serverlist…

I'm not sure about the pirate copies, but weirdly, my Steam install had it set to 0, and it's quite a fresh install too! It seems like yes most of the "slowhack" methods have been …

Even modern high end graphics cards use abstractions of the base data to create vast amounts of the final output's fine detail. For example tessellation and other techniques used f…

They actually cover these concerns, acknowledge it was a problem with examples of siblings or students behind a shared IP, and then developed a parallel cookie based tracking syste…

On a counter-strike 1.6 server I help with moderating, we have the occasional cheater roll by, surprisingly often "ragehacking" with no attempt at subtlety (e.g. making noscope sni…

It took me a couple of years to notice the "beautify" filter on my samsung S7 as I only ever activated the screen side camera by accident. When I did eventually use it a bit, I sub…

>the anti-helo drone isn't running a whole sound analysis, just a narrow range Why? Sure you might be limited to that if you're using an Arduino but with an FPGA or even a cheap "e…

Performance wise, most matte filaments are more brittle and have worse layer adhesion due to the matting pigment, but do a good job at hiding lines as the reduction in specular hig…

I would imagine if the design/assembly information was broadly available (internally) in the past, there's probably one or several "digital twin" emulations of the craft, or at the…

Most racing bicycles are right up against the limit of the minimum weight allowed. Sometimes they even add ballast weights to stay over the limit, and fit them as low as possible a…

Tiny aerodynamic gains from lack of cabling. But also allows more flexibility (sometimes literally, as anisotropic properties can be engineered into the layup) in the design of the…

$100 is plausible though, and if you had some outdated mining hardware (still likely to be single use ASIC hashing setups rather than computers) along with a lack of morals/ethics,…

One example that springs to mind is the documentation site for WLED, an incredibly powerful microcontroller firmware for controlling addressable LEDs: https://kno.wled.ge/

As far as I understood the explanation, the incoming ("external") 50Mhz clock signal is a core requirement of the spec: all of those workarounds are just what is required to meet t…

The squeeze is mostly within the segmentation of VRAM between products, it's basically a commodity and this week the spot price for 8GB of GDDR6 has varied from $1.30 to $3.50 [1].…

I've converted a £10 trash tier quadcopter to run off of 30G wire. Only 5 meters range, and the weight and momentum of the wire cause extremely difficult to control oscillations, b…

I think modding communities are a reasonably good analog to this. Up until someone realized you could change the alpha channel of wall textures to make them transparent, the way to…

Neural nets using individual tubes as nodes? Although the current trend seems to be quantizing down to a minimal amount of bits to process more in parallel, in an analogue system y…

AMC7135 might work: it's a linear LDO fixed current regulator designed for driving LEDs, which internally is basically an N-channel MOSFET which holds it's gate voltage in the line…
