I just can't believe they missed the obvious 'iShield' (ie eye shield) name... or maybe that didn't get past the PR department.

Re: Apple Faceshield
#42This is impressive, compared to what traditional health companies like Pharma are doing. The latter seem mostly to update existing products like faster tests or trying to develop vaccines. Whereas it’s the tech companies which are going a bit beyond their traditional business: Apple making face masks, Google and Apple making screening websites (other examples?) All of which could be done by traditional health compani…
Really?
Masks don't get us out of this crisis. The billions-fold more complex work of developing effective treatments and vaccines does.
What an odd sentiment you've got here.
Re: Apple Faceshield
#43Good on them for helping fight the problem, but there's definitely a dystopian sci-fi trope of a familiar brand creating products that only exist because the world is in a disaster. Sort of like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4lS9poHvpU
Oh wow.

Is there any plastic that is actually dishwasher safe? I thought just about all of it started leaching when exposed to high temperatures.
The inside of my dishwasher is made out of plastic, so I'd assume there'd have to be.
I don't think the actual racks are plastic.
Specifically, all the recommendations I have seen are that you should not microweave or put in the dishwasher plastic containers. That's for food, so you can see where the leaching concerns would be.
But I wonder for this if part of it is that it has such close proximity to a lot of your face.

#47Where they describe how to sterilize it: DO NOT mix those chemicals together (e.g., bleach + rubbing alcohol = chloroform).
And while we're here, let's go ahead and get these others out for people to read:
Bleach+vinegar = chlorine gas, Bleach+ammonia = chloramine, Bleach+rubbing alcohol = chloroform
Just don't mix bleach with anything.
And while we're at it, don't mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, either.

Why sad? This is a massive global issue that we have not experienced in modern times. Who cares about attribution. Apple has donated a bunch of masks? Who cares its just a face mask and this design is different then what Prusa is printing. As long as lives are being saved thats all that matters right?
It’s not like if you mention him you lose bunch of time and people die. The design should go out by any means possible, but is one line of attribution so bad?

interesting, that's a new one I didn't know about. I've always heard the Bleach + Ammonia = Mustard gas, but not that one
