but no usb-c port? Nooooooooooo!

NOBODY asked for a proprietary pogo pin usb cable. shame on you!!!!

honestly. fuck this, fuck this world we live in. I hate it.

that is all there is to say about this fucking bullshit

Atmospheric injections of Sulphur is going to be the only answer.
No, 10X is fine - there is enough resolution on the sensor to just crop the 5x images to 10x without any weirdness.

After 10x it's all over. Which is in itself quite insane. The camera is truly amazing, and complaining that this 10mm thick camera is no good at further than 10x seems utterly spoiled and ridiculous to me.

I'm expecting infinite downvotes but here we go...

sorry but this is just retarded.

kids have to protest something, but this? it's another tool. you can use it to make yourself smarter. just because you're not doing that, doesn't make it bad.

why don't they, I don't know, protest the destruction of the planet? oh I know why. because that's complicated, and the adversaries are ambiguous.

get off my lawn. lol

Re:Build Gaussian Splat Experiences with SuperSplat Studio on Monday February 16, 2026 @10:32AM (#47036276)
Supersplat is cool, but check out http://www.splatter.app it is the best / highest performance 3DGS viewer. works great on even a low end phone.
What is the end game?

The end game is to cancel the midterms.

At this point I find it incredibly naive to think that there will be midterms.

It is over, folks. The part that blows my mind is how easy it was, and how little opposition there was from anyone of consquence.

Even very small and cheap lidar can see cables just fine.

I work with 3d scanning lidar every day and I know this as a fact.

They have no excuse there.

Re:Sora 2 on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @10:47AM (#45438329)
I get this all the time. Especially since GPT5, generating an image starts a massive chain where it confirms what you want, and asks you to say yes, and you say yes, and then it confirms again, and this can go on for 5-6 times. Then if you swear at it, it refuses to continue. It is insane. Fuck you, OpenAI
Just tell the other person "please blur my face out if you publish this online" in 2025, this is easy to do.

Holy crap there is a boat load of spurious correlation here.

Yeah it's the bpa more than the waste that would bother me.

Honest question, isn't the bpa free paper just using something else than bpa that is unregulated and potentially even worse?

What on earth did I just read? Is this ai slop that I just read? None of this is correct or true.
