If your power consumption is actually 250 then go for a 500w PSU. You’ll get better efficiency.

Anandtech (rip) used to be my go-to for PSU efficiency curves.

Maybe for the generic cat/dog image sharing boards but niche topics like machining are still thriving.

3am… Need to be up in 4hrs…

Imma need me some 4 fairy soup.

I’m pretty sure they would have to upload millions of pictures of their own creation first.

From the YouTube guides in generating your own Lora models… Naa just a couple reference poses and it’s ready to go.

Somehow I get the feeling Valve still had some lingering feelings about the failure of Valve’s TF2 comp and they’re trying to right their wrongs.

I wonder if that shares the same physics as silvent’s compressed air guns.

Silvent’s air nozzles reduce the sound level when blowing with compressed air compared to blowing through open pipes. This is due in part to the reduction in noisy turbulence from using Silvent’s air nozzles, and also because of the nozzles’ special design. Silvent’s air nozzles pass the compressed air through small holes and slots, which raises the sound to frequencies beyond what the human ear can perceive. This allows us to make blowing with compressed air both quiet and efficient.

Could use an even quieter compressed air gun

I feel like it’s more “thank us for believing in the right god”

Not sure what else this meme is doing other than actively creating a bigger divide between the genders…

Neural Impulse Actuator or brain-computer interface.

Just because you never heard of it doesn’t mean it hasn’t existed…

released in 2008

You don’t even need to be inserting probes to be able to do that…

OCZ had this ‘toy’ out in 2008.

one of the reviews…

Ultra-sensitive, excellent response time. Partial hands free gaming. Cool looking blue LED glow from interface box. This is the future of computer user interface. While designed primarily for FPS games, works exceptionally well with MMOs. Makes Crysis WARHEAD and FarCry 2 a joy to play. As a disabled person, this unit has allowed me to game with all the “normal” folks on the same level.

OCZ back in the day (2008) had a brainwave game controller… didn’t need surgery for that.

A couple old metrology equipment dated back from the 80s I still use calls them ‘mil’. It’s got dual dials for mil/mm. Gets me confused sometimes because the gauge can go down to couple millionths of an inch/couple 10s of nanometers.

LVDT for those curious.

might as well ban microwaves for emitting ‘radiation’.

From memory …

Select tool and draw circle.

Select option menu then click ‘to path’

Unselect all

Somewhere nearby there is a fill stroke to path or something.

Yeah…I’m considering going over to paint.net or something else.

If Red Bull can be successfully sued for false advertising from their slogan “It gives you wings”, I think it stands that Tesla should too.

Took me a couple glances to notice the second keyboard. Is that comfortable?

Don’t get that card. I used to have it but it would randomly output max volume static… Not a fun experience.

It seems like the argument is that at the lower price bracket, stepper motors offer higher performance than what a equivalently priced servo+encoder+controller combo can perform.

I felt like what I was reading in this thread wasn’t matching up with that I see out in industry… concerns about ‘price’ didn’t come up until your post.

Diamond turning machines are inherently low torque, low speed, AND nanoscale operations which uses servos for driving its respective axis. See precitech -youtube and in stark comparison Roeder’s 5axis optical mold machining. Wire EDM’s were all driven by servo motors until linear motors became popular. Even those famous JingDiao test samples are made on machines driven by servos.

Steppers have a higher precision to a servos higher speed and torque (but torque that’s not constant.)

Just trying to understand this. Then how come all CNC precision machines use a servo instead of a stepper? I mean there are some ridiculously accurate machines that can position itself over and over varying under a micron (<.001mm) but the manufacturers choose servo over stepper. Is it for the sake of holding torque that servos have to be used over steppers?
