The cost seems pretty obvious TBH...they're subsidising their car industry to a much higher degree than European and American countries in order to achieve a greater market share and by extension control of large foreign car consumer markets. Given enough time, they will capture significant market shares in these markets due to artificially low prices outside of regular market competition.

There's of course also the general increased security risk of the Chinese government being plugged in to all the companies making these cars with black box software and always connected to the internet.

Why not? Pretty much everything except the roof structure is made of bricks. My house is entirely bricks; an outer and an inner wall separated by a gap with insulation, with a wooden skeleton for the roof secured to the brick walls. All interior walls are either made of bricks (the originals built with the house in the 60's) or aerated concrete blocks (added in a refurbishing later in the 00's).

I have never in my 20 years of driving seen one with more than two digits, and I (unfortunately) have driven by them with +100km/h before and they absolutely flash at you (without showing numbers). I am fairly reluctant to believe your statements given my own experience.

No it's not...it's because they're two digit LED dot matrix displays, they're always used in areas with maximum 80km/h speed limits and doesn't really need any more than that. They can't display numbers higher than 99 due to their config, but will still flash at you for speeding. It is not an intentional decision specifically to avoid situations like this.

No, didn't you listen? They like to no-dog the buns...

No that would be obstructed by the rocket body in a head-on front view, definitely not sticking out at a 90 degree angle like that

what the hell is the red blob sticking out from the side then? If you're looking at it head on it can't be the thruster...

Got some spare filament

This seems to use quite a significant amount of filament, it would probably be hard to make from leftover spool scraps from other projects.

AR that just doesn't suck ass would be welcome even without price drops. We've had some projects where we tried to use AR glasses for interactive maintenance assistance. They died not because of bulky gear but because resolution and clarity was absolutely shit.

That still leaves a lot of constraints on print geometry though because it will have limited reach over previously printed areas.

Just two of them would be an unsurmountable challenge.

Why the fuck is that site using asbestos at all!? What kind of crazy unregulated place is this!? I'm shutting you down immediately...

No i would think it's a significant disadvantage because they're (usually) using DC motors which have horribly inaccurate movement even with an encoder feedback.

No this isn't a new concept, the size and use of treadmill is not something I've seen before though.

IDK, probably some behavioral psychology thing where it makes you think about them every time you need to go shopping without realising it.

It didn't generate revenue

The even bigger issue is probably the lack of senior devs in 10 years because they never got hired in the first place.

It’s a bad idea either to go touching live wires either way, but the rule of thumb I heard was was that a 110V shock usually won’t kill you and 220V shock usually will.

That's completely incorrect though. I've been shocked by 230VAC at least a dozen times, if not more. And the fuse for the circuit absolutely should not be the limiter, the RCCB should trip WAY before the main fuse.

Key thing here being that they're old...there are limits to how much power electrical equipment is allowed to consume in standby mode (at least in the EU) today, it's not allowed to consume more than 0.5W in standby mode, 0.8W if it has a status display.
