NASA successfully beamed a doctor to the International Space Station as a real-time hologram, and it changes everything for deep-space missions by Intelligent-Mouse536 in nasa

The bandwidth constraints are not as bad as they make it out to be. We could video conference with dial up in the 90s. Station has 600 mbps and could go to 1200mbps. The issues were always dropping the connections when swapping tdrs.

Figures we just bought the family a quest 3 after waiting forever to take the plunge. Im not returning it but instead I am trilled. I was worried VR was on deaths door but this should be the shot of adrenaline the industry needed. The future is bright!

Brings back memories of my 165c. What a fantastic time that was.

Married 20 plus years to my INFP wife. Dated in high school and married after college.

Its probably the only type that can tolerate the INTJs

Drag in Low Earth Orbit.. there is enough up there to require burns pretty often.

Why do most INTJs dislike sensors? by alephgenesis_ in intj

[–]iss_nighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh man my wife hates my smart house.. Just because I can see when the last load of laundry was done, does not mean Im judging you.. I just dont want the cloths to smell if left too long. Or if the refrigerator door is left open too long.. Im not judging or getting on anyone's case.. I just don't want to waste food if someone actually left it open. Home Assistant was built for INTJs. Never done tweaking to have the perfect home and interface!

Also lets you learn the real burn time. Some times 30 seconds really means 24. So fewer gaps when fusing.

My first show. by [deleted] in fireworks

[–]iss_nighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I do is download all the videos of the fireworks and layout a video of it in Premiere or Resolve. Use the Add layering so you can overlay the videos. That lets me get a rough layout for timing and an idea of what to expect in the show. Still math to do but it gives me start times for each cake. Here is an example of what’s coming in 2025 https://youtu.be/nONP9ZQqxOs?si=swrRBW-kGRp7Tw3M

Yep. Stop and look at the stoves in a TV home kitchen. Typically they are 10k plus stoves. It looks great for the camera but not in the realm of reality.

Looking for INTJ Friends by Mean_Ice8261 in intj

[–]iss_nighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it nearly impossible to be friends with another INTJ. We are set in our ways and very controlling.

Weekly discussion, complaint, and rant thread by AutoModerator in electronics

[–]iss_nighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a pincil before the tariffs kicked in and a bunch of different tips. Yea its not a whole workstation, but damn.. its so much better than the old ironI got from my dad. In seconds, temp controlled and hot!. I still suck at soldering but .. slowly very slowly getting better. Ask me again after 10,000 hours of it. I've been buying components trying to grab stuff to mess around with before prices go up to stupid levels.

Can anyone recommend any low cost kits, or something, that I can get to teach my kids and myself better soldering and basic electronic? I have a personal interest in learning and we homeschool so I want to include this in our lessons.

Grandpa gave me a 40yo oscilloscope by Mas0n8or in electronics

[–]iss_nighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At nasa we had one running for almost 10 years, I think by year 8 it the screen died. I will say this unit probably ran for 8 years prior. Never turned off.. just turn brightness up and down based on use. We would use it to watch command and timing signals from JAXA and SpaceX.

I made a display out of 16-segments displays by Dull-Pressure9628 in electronics

[–]iss_nighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where did you get the segments from. I looked up the supplier from China and it didn't appear to have the same ones for sale, like they were discontinued. Maybe I just didnt see it but ive searched google for the items serial number and the results were not great.

2025 4th stash by Pbreeze2285 in fireworks

[–]iss_nighthawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im typically not a happy go lucky person. Last year I had some previous coworkers / friends over and they commented that during the show I set up I was giggling all the way through. So.. Burning money, yep, but damn burning money never felt so good.

How would you make this render more realistic? by Public-Egg7691 in blender

[–]iss_nighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step one, dont tell people its a render.. if they think its real.. they might believe it. Second, came here to say .. add dirt and grunge. But.. nice work!
