Yeah, love that is just works.

I'm working on a bit of a hobby project to rebuild a beefier Mascon. Mainly inspired by how much I enjoyed Running Train

Have you priced a Supermicro box with 16 bays and SAS running Ubuntu?

I have, in pre-COVID days, though. The total bill including a skylake xeon E3-1285 v6 CPU, 64 GB ECC RAM, and the supermicro X11 board + chassis (https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/archive/chassis/SC836...) was under $1k.

The world changed. Massively. Reprice everything you're benchmarking pre covid.

Yes I know, but not by 4x. You can buy a lot of real compute for $4k, not an arm box with 16 disk bays.

Reread my comment and process it.

The current-gen 3U SuperChassis alone is $1200USD.

Try again with 2026 RAM prices.

This is the way. The 10G cards are ancient and hog all the PCIe lanes.

I’ve had the best luck with Mellanox ConnectX 4 or 5 cards. The 5 can happily run 25G on a modern lane constrained system.

It's amazing how well the ProDisplay XDR has held out. Especially if you care about any HDR workflow.

Its also clear that the carrier wasn't ready for it. People with the original iPhone would get entire boxes mailed to them for their Cingular statement, itemizing every data transaction, but then all flat rate charged.

I had an original iPhone and did not get such statements. As I recall while Cingular was indeed not ready to handle unlimited data for customers, it wasn’t really a problem for the first iPhone since it wasn’t 3g. Once the 3g dropped , it was a problem since people were actually able to consume a large amount of data.

It very famously happened to iJustine:

Simple: motor inverters are switching power in this frequency range.

It’s already below FCC limits for unintended radiation - it’s not going to block AM activity far from the vehicle, but putting the antenna in the midst of all that radiated noise is challenging.

When things are brand new and in good condition, yes, probably.

Lots of continual updates, some release notes aggregated at third party sites like this: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/

Those are Tesla updates. They were asking about non-Tesla OTA updates, for the Lincoln cars I think.

Lower cost printers are absolutely using LCDs with an LED UV light source. These resin curing printers are pretty darn cheap as well, and have a ton of resolution. They also excel on volume as they do expose the entire plate at once and don’t require scanning a laser around.

The material you get out of such a printer is of course entirely different from an injection molded part.

Yeah, I’m a pretty big 3D printer enthusiast. I’m surprised they shifted from lasers to LCD. I guess the laser and galvo setup was too expensive. Probably also easier and cheaper to ship new “Low Force Display” for people with formcare. End of the day, no matter what these vendors say, the crystals in LCD get damaged by UV light and would need to be replaced eventually.

It also opens up a whole bunch of material options. If you go to resin providers websites they have only a few resins for laser printers and tons and tons for lcd printers.

Usually a combination of calcium carbonate (or bicarbonate for solubility), calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and or the sulfate versions of the chlorides.

The ability for contract manufacturers to simply source things from neighboring companies is a very real thing - and usually the quality is pretty good. Somehow, working between companies is a quick and fast thing, where here making a new business relationship is seemingly mired in problems.
