Definitely meant 3D printers

I guess it brings into question what is true and what is just blatantly made-up. Cheerios being a healthy alternative was only true because the box said so, because the commercials said so, because the “doctors” supposedly said so. When in reality, eating eggs or some kind of lean protein, greens and a piece of whole wheat toast would be a substantially healthier breakfast.

The drop shadow is so close but also somewhat distorted, it kind of adds to the comedic effect.

I use a DisplayLink dock at home because it works, it’s just kinda annoying that I have to hack multi-display on an expensive laptop. When I go to the office I just deal with double-docking, it’s still a better display situation than when I was running Ubuntu and GNOME.

Or even better, just going across the state line and buying one.

It’s an arbitrary one. Most Windows and even Linux laptops can display to multiple monitors without extensive display controllers. For example, my two HDMI USB-C hub can be driven by a Windows or Linux laptop and independently display two monitors, MacOS mirrors them. On my M2 Max MBP if I connect one USB-C hub to one monitor and another USB-C hub in another USB-C port to another monitor, they work. No DisplayLink.

I have a not so pretty sheet on Google Sheets I use for finances and while I agree, spreadsheets are generally not amazing. When they are, they certainly are.

It’s not. It’s 100% a MacOS limitation, because you can use MST on Windows to drive multiple displays on Mac hardware, the same is likely possible with Asahi Linux if they want to support it. Apple doesn’t want to use MST because they want you to buy into their Thunderbolt displays for extra monitors, or you can just use DisplayLink if you’re desperate like me.

Dealing with an Excel spreadsheet is already a living hell, what’s a little extra pain and suffering going to do?

As soon as they can make multiple displays work over a single USB-C I may be able to ditch the double dongle nightmare I have right now

Yeah $18 sounds much higher than the $10 meal that’s probably par for the course in today’s fast food economy

The fabs broke sub-micron well over 30 years ago, the biggest reason it won’t happen sooner in the public space is because most assume making it open-source is impossible. Technology hasn’t progressed because people said X (variable, not the social formerly known as Twitter) was impossible, it progressed because of the people who questioned that assumption.

No one claimed they’re making pi chips in their garage, it’s a modest start towards open-source hardware. One guy in a garage doing what thousands of skilled engineers and scientists devoted careers to make in expensive labs.

This is the same argument you could use against any open-source projects. Software is much easier to open-source because the tools needed and barrier to entry are relatively minuscule. Hardware requires a lot of resources that take time and money to acquire. TSMC is fifty years ahead because they have had billions in research funds and have acquired the brightest minds of the past few generations, this still doesn’t mean that the technology of today is limited to highly advanced fabs the same way fifty years from now. Arguably all it takes is a dedicated team of highly-skilled hobbyists to make leaps toward open-source hardware more suitable for today’s requirements.

OP said hobbyists will never be able to make open-source hardware close to today’s scale, but it’s entirely possible for future generations to do just that.

Never say never. The phones in our hands are orders of magnitudes more powerful than the computer that took people into space and enabled landing on the moon. Eventually even today’s technology will be obsolete and potentially even easy to replicate in a garage. 2nm processes may be difficult, but 40nm process is certainly not impossible for hobbyists of the future.
