  1. Nice video. Happy to see you guys testing out the HDR waters.

    its a rite of passage... an expensive rite... lol Good luck

    Yes it was pleasant enough, glad to see a video again. Shame that the title was still shite tho.

    Well lads, i'v been converted. Game streaming is the tits.

     

    I have a colleague who has been spending his lunch breaks using xbox game streaming, and honestly it's not perfect but well better than not playing.

     

    He has since given me the idea of trying this with steam's game stream service and honestly it works a charm too. Biggest problem is that uni blocks this on their network so I have to use a hotspot. The receiving end hardware can be complete crap it doesn't matter. Why does steams features always get overlooked? they have great solutions but they get much less attention compared to other services.

    Any of you been playing games via streaming?

      Sort of. I used that steam thing to play BL3 on my phone.  I had to stop though. It’s too dangerous for me.  I’ll play too many video games.

  6. A nice idea to use an existing technology - printers - to encode data, Impressive that they managed to get a proof of concept to work quite well, goes to show that the idea is very reasonable. Doesn't seem super dense tho. Thought the long term arguments for the stability are a little theoretical, it'd be cool to see more work on that side of things, im sure that there is promise there too. Density is also not strong at 0.0271mbyte/mm2 vs blueray at 23mbyte/mm2... though maybe thats apples vs oranges as i guess long term storage is more the goal.

    Christ. Can these shout cuts be added? l should be ltt.
  9. Heatshrink is a good idea! Also, I had used string earlier for the plastic! But it's ugly
  10. That's cool! really love that sort of diy fix. Very much want to be able to do that sort of fix. Yeah things things have a nice design which isn't the most durable. The small blaxj plastic latch has broken (not pictured) and wires are in poor shape.

    Didn't know that! Hope everyone has happy testicles this holiday season.

    I have some old headphones which are in bits, and I would love to fix them, , but finding an old pair is difficult. Some parts are available outside of the EU but that makes shipping 3-4x the cost of the parts. /end rant.

      Plastic is a bitch to fix, could you fashion something out of metal and afix it somewhat stealthily maybe?

       

      Wires are better, nice black heatshrink after soldeting can hide a lot of crimes. 😄

      If you have a photo of the broken plastic part, post it here. Maybe I could figure something out, if you don't have a plan already that is. Second pair of eyes and all that. 🙂

  13. Well they're the ones that missed out on the free advertisement!
  14. I thought if doing this! Fair play with actually going through with it! What did you ask them?
  15. Christ their website really is devoid of information, but there was some details of the battery cells in one post in their "latest news" section (its in Swedish sadly, so i cant understand more than the slides. But the source is there if anyone feels like translating those couple of talking points :P). So it looks like they're not too bad, with a low density compared to lithium ion cells, and much better cycling.But i have really no idea how these batteries work, I cant find anything on them. The company does to have patents on organic electrodes and water-based electrolyte, but no "normal" documents on battery structure (reading patents is a bore, maybe its in there). A lot of this tech & materials seems to be based on the university's research group, their papers utilise the same materials as in the patents, although they focus on redox flow batteries. One post does associate Ligna Energy. So its unclear to me weather they are making just "normal" batteries, or also redox flow batteries later on for even larger scale solutions. Overall I think that the tech they have developed is really cool, using a waste product to make something of high value like batteries is smart, and the research papers seems to indicate they put a lot of work in optimizing organic redox flow batteries. Even if the performance isn't like that of Lithium ion batteries, its evident that they are targeting at a very different need than lithium cells which are expensive and relatively dangerous solution. I guess it can be frustrating to read about research technology that isn't at the point of being in the working world yet, but its equally frustrating to have a novel technology get immediately dismissed just because its not in everyones hands yet.

    yeah was looking around there was surprised at that - it does put into perspective how many just ask for the once off techtipTM

    Ian Davis with a new metal hand:

    I had seen gifs of this hand, but man that video is incredible and the thing looks out of a movie.
  18. I'd put my guesses on no - lithium will always be much smaller than organic molecules, cant get around size.
  19. its odd that their papers seem to mention large scale prep, while the op article/website mentions IOT devices. But yeah, I agree, it certainly wont have the density of metal counterparts.
  20. They are working with the Laboratory or organic electronics. Using wood as a starting material is a good way to make a high value material from something cheap and abundant. Apparently they may be using a side-product of the forest and paper industries. If these can be made more cheaply than metal based derivatives it could really help with the adoption of renewables and large scale batteries in general. I would also imagine they somewhat safer then metal based batteries. Thanks for sharing the article.

  22. This is not AI being used to preemptively make drugs illegal before they exist (or even discovering new ones (with regards the jacs paper)). It is being used to try and get a structure of a molecule using only one instrument in tandem with an AI model to help analyse the data. (Figuring out a structure is hard, and usually requires a battery of instruments - this is where the novelty of this paper lies). Structure and activity are so hard to guess: look at the difference between heroin and fentanyl. It would be hard to guess at first sight that they act similarly. Yet I think we can argue that it's a good idea they're both being controlled, despite their considerably different structures.

    I'm trying out Linux recently (pop), seems ok. I feel like the low level barriers to entry carry over from district to district. Hard to know what's best till you see more!
  24. Fair, but you don't go there for b-roll now. I like MKBHD, though can be same-y. His "in hand b-roll" (is that still b-roll?) is great.
