I would like to have a cheap laser engraver/cutter but I am just afraid to buy one. Most kits don't have any protection at all except for some goggles. This might be fine for yourself but not for someone stepping into the room. La

But arent there other applications where this is ok? For example path tracing (ray tracing) doesn't need to be very accurate because multiple samples per pixel are used. A gaming card that uses less power is very welcome in laptops for

"then what does it care for" Wel most of the time it's an investment. So for those bidders the perceived market value is very important. But you can also imagine this scenario: someone has a ring from a great great grantpar

Things are worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay. There are no other reasons involved. Taste doesn't matter, history doesn't matter, material doesn't matter, the creator doesn't matter. The highest bidder does

I am not saying people give a fuck it is legally accurate. But since nobody ever reads the terms and conditions this could help to give a quick understanding of what you are paying for. Everybody knows that renting a car is different than b

That's a different problem. Right now the problem is that people think they buy something but they don't. Nobody is going to read the terms and conditions before buying. But when you are going to rent something you know the owners

I think one simple legislation could help a lot: forbid to use the word 'buy' in this context. Instead it should be 'hire' or 'lease' or something. Once I 'bought' an e-book that was copy protected by

The author was lucky to earn a huge amount of money. 99% of the people can't do anything with this advice because they don't have any savings to begin with. I wonder if the author even understands how lucky he is.

Most advise is like: do what I did, if you were me, in the exact place and time as I was, surrounded by the same people as I was, and so on... I think advise in the form of a small life lesson is more helpful. For example: 'Take good c

Could it be that there is almost no distinction between brain parts but that the way a fetus grows 'specializes' certain parts?

Every virus infection can turn into a long recovery. There is no proof this is longer for Covid-19. The Epstein-Barr virus for example can make you tired for months or years. I am not saying long Covid isn't a thing, but it is not

A Japanese study showed that Omicron is reproducing 70 times faster in the bronchi but 10 times slower in the lungs than Delta. That's why it is giving less lung problems and therefore doesn't make people as ill as Delta.

Not only for gaming. I have been using Blender for over 15 years on Linux and 3D hardware support is getting better each year. Maybe some people don't like proprietary drivers, but I have been running Nvidia drivers just fine with a RT

There is no difference between what is injected. It's more like a retraining program. It's almost like the difference between short and long term memory. One shot will turn on short term memory after a week or two. Repeating shots

This reminds me of the multi-tasking myth. People who multi-task think it works because they did a lot of different things throughout the day. But when performance is measured the conclusion is that multi-tasking does not work and only hurt
