Smartphone Tripod for Landscape/Portrait mode by Yggy (www.thingiverse.com)

This a remix of trentesous' very good foldable tripod Version 2. I remade the phone mount to rotate, allowing for both landscape and portrait modes. Find the original here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2862445 Printing tips: Make sure to enable supports but use support blockers for the threaded bits The orientation of the...

ShadowRam,

Meh. I hate it.

I think society should be moving towards buildings having a dedicated DC source.
International Standardize on a DC wall plug.

Each device can step it down easily/efficiently with little electronics to their own needs.

ShadowRam,

No, it's got nothing to do with power over ethernet.

It's simply having only one high power rectifier at the breaker box.

And removing all those rectifiers from every device in the house.

We don't need AC in the home anymore. Every device is now using DC, and any other device will still work with DC.
The only thing really left are motors, but even those are going brushless and we can chop half of the inverter out of the equation of those as well.

And every device won't even need smart electronics for PD either.

It would also solve the North America 60Hz and EU 50Hz issue, where the AC coming in doesn't matter. We all standardize on a DC output.

And when people want to add alternative power (Solar/Wind/etc), it's a HELL of a lot easier to just push the DC into the existing system without having to worry about frequency matching.

ShadowRam,

_ I don’t think USB C PD could handle a hairdryer though_

Of course it wouldn't. The idea would be get rid of USB-C and PD completely.

You'd have 110VDC@15A available for your hairdryer. Heating coils don't care if it's AC or DC, and the blower fan would be a brushless fan.

You're compressors for AC or fridge would be freq drives, which are cheaper because they could drop the rectifier circuit, and highly efficient.

The only real concern about having DC in the home as standard is the safety aspect of DC doesn't let go if you get shocked.

But that is already being worked on in general as many homes have high-voltage DC circuits from solar panels.

ShadowRam,

Yeah, but frequency drives/inverters were still pretty pricy things back then to for high powered motors for compressors/blowers/etc.

But the cost and efficiency of those things have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY in the past decade..

ShadowRam,

PWM DC to DC dropping voltage to what you need is easy/cheep.

So instead of a big transformer + rectifier that each device has now, it would be a much smaller/cheaper step down at like 99.8% efficiency

ShadowRam,

again, simpler and cheaper electronics for everything

ShadowRam,

powerful DC-DC

No, are you not aware how these work?

A step down DC-DC is nothing compared to a transformer rectifier or PD electronics with communication with a USB-C.

ShadowRam,

4,6,7,10

I don't know. I know I played 9 in its entirety, but it is completely un-rememberable.

But yeah, 100% lets get back to the turn-based formula it was meant to be.
Bonus if we could go back to a 5-team instead of a 3-team

Lemmy interoperability with Mastodon

As of right now, you can follow either Lemmy accounts directly or follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon relatively easily if you know what you are searching for. This is really cool because you can read (and participate to !) discussions without having tu use a Lemmy-specific app or account. The wonders of the fediverse !...

ShadowRam,

This is exactly why I op'd for Kbin over just Lemmy.

Lemmy + Mastodon support.

ShadowRam,

See, that's the problem with modern science reporting. People are so easily confused.

No. We have never teleported atoms.

We did the equivalent of a fax machine.

We took an atoms current state, sent that information down traditional communication lines, and copied it's state perfectly to another atom.

They call it Quantum Teleportation, but it has nothing to do with Sci-Fi teleportation as most people think of it.

ShadowRam,

Ok I have come to realize that lemmy is literally no better than reddit when it comes to people who are so arrogant in their ignorance.

Or the common denominator is you're clueless.

ShadowRam, to kbin

@kbin kbin is constantly returning 50x and 404 errors to me for the last few weeks. It's literally unusable, even for browsing. What's going on? Is it just me? should I move on to a different instance?

ShadowRam,

@jwr1

@kbin

Thanks for the thread info,

ShadowRam,

I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign.

Did they actually get paid?

It Will Be an Election Unlike Any We’ve Lived Through. Are the Democrats Prepared? (newrepublic.com)

The animating concept behind the Trump campaign will be chaos. This is what history shows us fascists do when given the chance to participate in democratic political campaigns: They create chaos. They do it because chaos works to their advantage. They revel in it, because they can see how profoundly chaos unnerves...

ShadowRam,

"We live in a Democracy!"

"I need to wait to see who they put forward for me to vote for..."

ShadowRam,

What do you expect when you enshrine in law, that corporations are legally obligated to do everything they can increase profits.
