I can’t think of an application where a nail is better. Sure, sometimes a nail will do and there’s no need to use a screw, but that doesn’t make the nail better, just cheaper.

Screws genuinely are better fasteners than nails, though…
Sordid@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Has HP printers always been this bad?English31·2 years agoI have an HP LaserJet 6L from like 1997. I recently managed to get it working reliably after decades of struggle and frustration that drove me to tears on occasion. So yes, as far as I can tell they’ve always been this bad.

Ooh, that sounds handy! Mind if I ask where those feeds are coming from?

Did anyone else reading this bit immediately think of that other rich idiot that died in his ridiculous submarine?
Technically yes, but in practice any gains are going to be counteracted if not outweighed by the electromagnetic noise from the fan’s motor. To avoid that interference and see any real improvement in your signal strength, you’d have to either use a fan with a shielded motor (the last such model went out of production in 1953, so good luck finding one) or a fan driven by an alternative power source such as a water wheel.

Sordid@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy” Cybertruck PartsEnglish311·2 years agoWait, I thought he was just bullshitting his fans with that. He’s actually serious? XD
Also, I don’t understand what this has to do with bare metal construction of the Cybertruck and why that should present exceptional difficulties. DeLorean figured out how to make bare metal cars more than forty years ago, so it can’t be that hard.
That’s what this meme about ‘sigmaposting’ is poking fun at. The sigma wolf is supposed to be the lone wolf who doesn’t need nor care about anybody else, and for some reason some people look up to that as an ideal to pursue. But wolves are social animals, so in reality the lone wolf is a failing loser.
Do you get more science or less if you use a baseball bat?

I wish I could make YouTube “experience suboptimal revenue” in retaliation, but sadly I can’t block more than 100% of ads.
