He does mention rear-projection TVs.

I guess I missed it and was hoping for a deeper dive.

I think it's odd to make a whole video about a DIY rear-projection television without using the phrase 'rear-projection television'. It's novel to bounce it off the ceiling, and it repurposes e-waste so it's a great project.

As someone with over a decade in industrial manufacturing, there is only ever the in-group of the masters, and the out-group of the serfs. Actually making things is merely the means to the end of neo-feudalism.

You come across as fairly confrontational.

But I don’t understand the point. Satellites already fly indefinitely and can drop payloads of kinetic energy weapons. Why all the complexity of VLEO and drones? What could you that’s impossible with other, simpler, already-extant weapons systems?

I am voicing my opinion in which I believe in strongly, nothing more.

Why would I want a drone swarm in VLEO? That seems like a really hard place to effectively use drones from compared to pretty much any alternative.

You are missing the forest for the trees. This is an aerospace vehicle capable of flying in the air indefinitely. How many drones can you fit on a vehicle? How many vehicles can you fly at once? 60 miles is already reachable by the cheapest and most deadly weapon class of short-range drones. And now all they need to do is fall down. At freefall that is 140 seconds until it reaches the ground.

I like how the article glazes over the fact that this is drone swarm delivery tech. You are naive to think otherwise.

Apparently, the rabbit hole goes deeper. The wayback machine puts the "AI Generated" description on the cheese website at August 7th, 2020. The AI didn't hallucinate anything because it didn't generate anything, the entire premise is simply fake.

If this worked well you would imagine a demo consisting of more than a single through-hole component.

What is the overlap of people who are reading a blogpost about Cloudflare standards and people who need a metaphor to understand what compression is? You have 7 paragraphs of highly technical information then just in case, you need to explain how compression works? Just tell your reader you think they're a moron and save yourself the keystrokes.

Can you share exposure time and cycles info?
uSoldering · a year ago
Driven at 1 amp, ~2 inches from skin, ~5 minutes, twice daily. 660nm seemed to work better. Note that 850nm light is not visible and exceptionally dangerous. You will burn your eyes by looking at anything the invisible light is bouncing off of.
