If you do this, make really good notes and markings on the polarity of your magnets.

The number of times I have tried this, to end up with two mating parts that repel each other.

Alternatively, just print recesses and glue them in afterwards.

I bet there would be a carve out for anything particularly unsafe, like high voltage equipment or whatever.

Cue: the new Braun toothbrush, now with a 450v battery system for ultimate cleaning power.

Dig it. Dig it. Love cannot attach itself to binding ugliness.

Dig it. Dig it. Execute economic slave.

Ok maybe not the best lyrics for a dating app.

What features do dishwashers have?

Literally every one I’ve used has had racks, two to three spiny water sprayers, a water intake, and a detergent basket.

I’m not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, the “modes” of a dishwasher are dumb as shit. No I don’t want reduced water flow, reduced temperatures, and a worse outcome requiring manual intervention.

But what is there to break? Suck water in, pump it out, spray it at dishes.

maybe there’s the occasional weird model, like Samsungs wall sprayer. But you can’t buy them any more.

This is the sort of thing machine learning algorithms are pretty good at at.

Coupled with however many millions of interactions a day, you would have no problem correlating changes to your algorithm against increases in revenue.

But. It’s often not that impressive. Humans are equally good at noticing patterns.

All it takes is for one person at FB to see their wife or daughter delete a post, ask them “why did you delete that post” and take away from the response of “It made me look fat” to go “there’s a new targeted ad that’ll get me a bonus”.

In a similar vein, 80% of your banks anti-fraud systems isn’t deep learning models that detect fraudulent behaviour. Instead it’s “if the user is based in Russia, add 80 points, and if the account is at a branch in 10km of Heinersdorf Berlin, add another 50…. We’re pretty sure a Russian scammer goes on holiday every 6 months and opens a bunch of accounts there, we just don’t know which ones”.

Piracy numbers are used as a metric to benchmark a shows popularity.

Plus, if you use any p2p platform to get it, you’re distributing the work too.

Becomes the death jingle when you follow through.

EVs are getting their own lines of tyres (supposedly) designed to handle the weight, torque and address range concerns.

This isn’t foolproof.

The same car might be manufactured in multiple factories for multiple markets, to multiple levels of certification.

Your “new car” in one country, could be the previous years European model if the euro regs have changed.

Have you met an Australian recently?

Well that’s terrifying.

This is the reason I haven’t given it a chance.

Not that I’m unwilling, but with no common hardware, I’m reluctant to go out and buy something.

I can go buy a pinephone for postmarket, but won’t work for sailfish. I can get an Xperia for sailfish, but I’m out of luck for postmarket.

Not to mention, I’m reluctant to drop a chunk of cash on aged hardware, whose successor doesn’t look to be as well supported.
