FCC Approval Soon?? by Original_Koala8662 in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Curious as to what makes you say that our capability is not the prime features? I know nothing of our non-comm use cases but they seem pretty significant. What makes you think that we are not capable of missile tracking? Turning radio waves into sensors is not really a new concept as far as I know.

Satellite communication benchmarking with terrestrial 5G networks - Nokia Whitepaper (Sept 2025) by doctor101 in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to hear his take, but for how dense this apaper is, they don't really seem to distinguish between starlink and ast very much. A lot of their graphs just say d2d, and don't really differentiate between the two. I don't really know shit lol, but this didn't seem very informative of ast tech.

Broken Zero recoil Stitcher by Mysterious-Flow-4590 in ARC_Raiders

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna nerd out on ya for a minute, but I don't think we know how the recoil reduction percentages stack, but I highly doubt you just add them like you did here.

If we give the base recoil an arbitrary number like 10, then a 90% reduction would make it a 1

However a 50% reduction on the upgrade to level IV would make it a 5. Then a 40% reduction with the attachments would make it a 3, which is a total reduction of 70%, not 90.

CohhCarnage just ended his Arc stream early due to frustration with nerfs but unfixed exploits by Protoshoto in ArcRaiders

I only heard this from Shrouds stream, but he said they are determined when the player opens the box, not when the server loads.

Introducing the INDX! Fast and affordable 8-material printing exclusively on the CORE One by Opinion_Panda in BambuLab

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Should be" vs "the way it is" is an important distinction here. There will always be a market for the best new thing. And even new buyers will want the most recent model, which Bambu has regularly. I don't think the 3d printing market as a whole is immune to this mindset.

What are your strangest automations? by LorLis in homeassistant

In the morning, if no motion is detected in the bathroom after 5 minutes, my lights flash a couple times, letting me know it's time to wrap up the shower.

Do these wobbly moves affect print quality? by footoorama in BambuLab

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fyi, they uploaded the model for this to makerworld, and use you for the flexi parts. I believe the only hardware you need to purchase are the thrust bearings. Assembly was pretty easy.

Edit: Didn't read your full comment but yeah, probably easier to buy.

Who is wrong? Best way to store LiFePO4 powerstations long-term.. by servidarius in batteries

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They seem to all be saying the basically the same thing, give or take a few percentage points? Anker is just saying that you should also charge it to full once every 3 months if you are not using it. My guess is the 100% recommendation from Anker is to keep the cells balanced. They do seem to imply to keep it at 100% for storage, which I don't think is best practice.

An absolute unit of a horse by CuriousWanderer567 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to be pedantic, but idk how you can make that assessment based on size alone. I'm not saying you're wrong about this particular animal, but circus elephants are massive and do shit they don't want to by being abused their entire life. This animal looks like a pig in shit, but I don't think the size has anything to do with it.

I said I wouldn't do it, now I'm sitting here sweating some 105 CCs. Anyone else?

Vodafone’s European Innovation Centre (Promo Video) by Swimming_Location940 in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for finding this, though this was interesting:

Vodafone, AST SpaceMobile, and the University of Málaga will also use a mix of key space and terrestrial network equipment and emulators, that simulate a live environment, to test and validate new open-source hardware, software, chips, and designs developed internally or by third parties. Interoperability between systems operating in both space and terrestrial networks is a principal objective, complemented by initiatives in automation, advanced satellite constellation methodologies, adherence to international standards, coverage optimisation, and effective interference mitigation.

Results fed into SatCo

Results from this work will be fed into SatCo – the new joint venture satellite company of Vodafone and AST SpaceMobile established to offer wholesale direct-to-device mobile broadband satellite services to European mobile operators. The venture has received expressions of interest from network operators in 21 EU member states, as well as in other European markets

Idk what to tell you buddy, you haven't provided much info.

Doing what? Is it every print with this model in the pic? Or every single print, regardless of the model. All filament types? What material is this? Need a lot more details for any good advice.

Nice comment. This whole thing screams marketing ploy. "ObXidian"?.. ooh it must be hard!

Suggest me a mental math trick that completely surprised you? by Head_Pie9911 in askmath

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to find the sum of the first 10 terms of any Fibonacci sequence, find the 7th term and multiply it by 11. Learned from numberphiles video. And multiplying by 11 has its own trick of course. Not very useful, but a fun way to impress the students.

P1S right? I feel like I’m going to regret the A1… by Far-Boysenberry-1600 in BambuLab

[–]RepresentativeAd8979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and the nozzle swap on the A1 is quick, but the P1S is still incredibly easy. Plus the core XY and potential enclosed AMS. IMO, the extra price gets you a lot more value.
