I've often felt frustrated by the processing fees. Can you elaborate on handling this yourself? Which EU country are you based in?

Interesting read. Though it says the nuclear fission happens in the crust and mantle, not the core.

Was this before the introduction of the IOSS rules? I can't imagine picking something up directly at customs. International shipping volume has increased a lot, customs does not have the capacity to store much. The new rules have actua

That actually is via the postal service (BPost). The postage rates are reasonable, it's just the fee that they add for handling the customs administration that is unreasonable. And this is more or less the same for the other shipping c

The issue isn't the import duty and VAT, the issue is the 20€ or more fee that the shipping companies charge for the privilege of handling the customs administration for you. In Belgium for example books have 0% import duty and 6% VAT.

That's up to the developers, graphics settings should not be synced. Unfortunately some games just dump all settings in there. Steam Cloud docs explicitely mention this: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features&

Displacement is 1000nm, so 3 orders of magnitude less than 1mm. As for frequency response, looks like they tested up to 1000Hz. I see no reason why it wouldn't work at any frequency from 0Hz up to 1000Hz, and even higher. But because t

I strongly agree, the innovation needed is in haptics on the actuator side. Can you expand on the static and low frequency? My impression was that if you're aiming for fingertips, higher frequency has more resolution. Iirc braille is m

Yes, nylon strap is the way to go. Feels great, can get wet, far more durable. I bought this 18mm strap: https://aliexpress.com/item/33044774071.html And this tool: https://aliexpress.com/item/3297

The api looks very simple and easy, that's a very good sign. We've been doing similar stuff in python, mainly in combination with Pulumi automation. You can do some very fancy things, and I'm sure Dagger would be a nice addit

I really like the Mikado Method [0] when you find yourself shaving yak, at least when coding. When you see something that bothers you, you've got two choices: either fix it now, or don't fix it now. Don't fix it now is easy:

Your throat mic example is when listening through a radio link, versus a direct connection with the dynamic microphone example. I'm sure the dynamic mic sounds better than the troat mic, but this is not a fair comparison. Every mic sou

Yup. The amount of energy from a direct strike is simply too much. It already travelled a great distance through a highly resistive material (air), even if there is an "ideal" path to ground some energy will find its way. Consumer

Thanks for your comments. I don't understand much of it, but I will come back to it every now and then. I'm generally very satisfied with my Rilatine. It helps immensely, I can actually get stuff done without my thoughts branching

A long time ago we tried to do something similar with a jira kanban board. We were using thermal printer paper with a repositional adhesive, like post-it notes. You need a printer with integrated cutter, the Epson TM-88 used here will work.

This actually sounds doable if the battery charging trailer is self driving (and self docking). You would lose only minimal time slowing down for the docking/undocking. Easier to test on select pieces of highway with predictable self d

If you do want to try out openflexure, I recommend 3d printing the v7 version [0]. At the time of writing it is still in alpha, but it's on par with v6 and the build instructions are a huge improvement. And definitely read through thos
