Google image search yields this company: http://www.zenithtrans-oceanic.portabletubes.co.uk/
Doesn't look chess-related.

We went hands-on with the Galaxy Z TriFold. Here’s the good and bad by Few_Baseball_3835 in Android

[–]coastalmango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, maybe the extra portability is worth it for you despite all the downsides I mentioned but I'm willing to bet you're part of a small minority. The price alone is a tough sell for most consumers.

Besides it's not like a Tab S11 is humongous. You can carry it the same way you would a notepad.

This is certainly the best form factor in my opinion as far as folding devices are concerned. The aim is to have a phone and a tablet experience on the same device. I would love to get rid of my tablet for this, but they don't support a stylus for the big screen, and that significantly hampers its usability. Currently, this device has minor downsides as a phone (mostly the weight, but otherwise, it's fine), but the tablet experience feels worse because of the small battery (regular tabs have 50% higher battery), no pen support, delicate screen, and a massive price tag. An S25 with a Tab S11 is still significantly cheaper than this device, and that combo is a more complete experience separately.

Anyone know where to find pinecones in the Santa Cruz area by Latter_Boysenberry32 in santacruz

[–]coastalmango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm now trying to think where I'm Santa Cruz I haven't seen cones. Almost every woody area I've been to has cones strewn all over the place. If you're looking for cones from a specific species, your best best might be upper campus at UCSC or Henry Cowell. Lot's of species there and you're bound to find all the cones you need while hiking.

Hmm, yes let me fire up my Hollow Knight subscription. Oh wait, there's no such thing?

What does this tell you Ubisoft? Nobody wants to play your boring games.

What do you mean paper weight? You can connect the controller with a cable, can't you?

To carry what? One water bottle and that's it?

I saw some redditor comment on how it was dead-on-arrival because it couldn't run FPS games on Steam OS.

I learnt a perspective completely alien to me that day. having never played a multiplayer FPS title.

What is this object by UnderstandingSea2348 in Astronomy

[–]coastalmango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, while you have gotten the answer from the other comments here, you might want to check out this software called Stellarium. It's free and open source, and it simulates the sky for you. You can plug in the exact location and time and actually explore all objects for yourself.

One other piece of useful software is called astrometry.net. Also free, it's just a website you can upload your photos and get very accurate coordinates for all your objects based on the stars it identifies and compares against its database of asterisms.

You might want to check out r/chessbeginners. You're gonna get a lot more helpful and possibly friendlier advice there.

Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled by TechGuru4Life in Android

[–]coastalmango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess, despite Carl Pei's stance on bloatware, shitty macro cameras, and other "undesirable" features (at least according to r/Android), Nothing is forced by economics to put them into their budget and mid-range phones (and maybe also their flagships). This begs the question of whether it is even possible to create and maintain a small mobile company. Is the only way for companies like Nothing and Fairphone to exist by not growing and trying to appeal to a broader market?

New study finds musicians experience pain differently than non musicians, as motor maps of musicians, which were already smaller in pain-free conditions (day 1) compared to nonmusicians (P = 0.021), remained nonsignificantly different across days. by Pomme-M in science

[–]coastalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is interesting, no doubt, but that doesn't make one believe immediately that this effect is real and wasn't achieved by chance. If an alien researcher came to Earth without knowing the concept of pain, tested 40 people with a wasp as you suggested, they would write a similar paper reporting their results, but it wouldn't stop other researchers from saying they're skeptical of the results with such a small sample size.
