So, how much does it cost?

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 3 points 4 hours ago

It's 80 quid, innit?

Always about 30% more than you're expecting.

Hmmm tungsten. I learnt fro Scrooge McDuck that tungsten has a remarkable value per weight, no joke, and i am paying attention.

In 2018, assuming the side length is around 170cm this would be about 19.25 tons/m³ × 5m³ × $30000/ton = $2,887,500

Also this would mean that the studio floor is carrying ~100 tons on that spot the cube occupied, pretty strong.

Best I can do is $30

The app for this thing sucks tho

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I honestly don't know which is more real: The mere existence of an app for an inert hunk of metal, or the fact that it's a miserable user experience?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 18 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It will be unsupported in 6 months too.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 10 points 13 hours ago

To save you doing the conversion, that's 36.3kg.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What is that? Like 100 Budweiser's?

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

Works out to about .56 Taylor Swifts.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s

[–] guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 54 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 2 points 12 hours ago

Whic is heavier than four, 20 lb bags of feathers. Because steel is heavier than feathers.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Ah! Finally a metric I can understand!

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 23 hours ago

Wait I can't count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

I hope it doesn't require a subscription or internet access

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 5 points 15 hours ago

too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 71 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The old version didn't and some retailers still sell that.
We have found customers prefer the experience with the app! It is just the the experience without the app, but more modern. iOS only for now, but an Android version is expected soon!

[–] Mnem667@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't decide if I want to upvote for causing the visceral reaction to this comment, or down vote for the same.

Hmm.... something about it, that's uh-...

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (5 children)

80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Ever seen the inside of an Aero bar?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 53 points 1 day ago

Probably cheaper than solid steel, enshittification strikes again

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Deceptive marketing. The 80 lb model is the budget model, but the picture shows the much fancier 300 lb model.

That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Airfryers are just much faster to deal with smaller things. Less air to heat up before it reaches the desired temp.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Sometimes I use my oven for one thing and my air fryer for another thing at the same time.

You haven't seen Two Ovens One Cook?

Cool! Does it have AI? Also I want it to connect to a phone app, do not bring me an actual program, or a website (I don't understand what's a "browser", is it Google?), bring me an app! I'm fine with a subscription model, or if the cube starts leaking ooze onto the counter without it. It's also fine if the cube is expected to leak ooze two years from now, because some server thingamajig is gone.

/s obviously.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Steel?

When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?

Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.
