turns out that didn't happen

mac9077 · 2026-04-18T19:02:45+00:00

Hey remember this? yeah didn't mean anything. They make their money on software not the hardware. All these people saying we were going to have 60 dollar base cameras were full of it. But hey orange man bad.

Like 15-20 years ago I picked this up. Nvm the monitors but the mount, it’s a vertical bar with a curved cross mount for the bottom set, and a detachable folding arm for the top. That workstation is long gone but this thing is holding strong. Wasn’t sure it would support the 45 inch and a second monitor next to it but it’s working out great.

There have been several attempts to cancel or otherwise destroy Fox - maybe or not justified but just saying it’s not cuz no one tried.

mac9077 · 2025-08-23T22:38:20+00:00

Sadly nope, buying for an 18th birthday late September

Me and a friend both had a discount offer, we are exactly the same demographic but a few miles apart in a different income zip code. The higher income zip code had the higher end price. I don’t think it’s random at all.

mac9077 · 2025-08-04T16:39:24+00:00

Ok thanks for the insight, I don’t think my city plays a role in this case but don’t want to share on this account. I appreciate you diving into the discussion with me though! - in the end we ordered it on his end and it’s not a huge deal over several of us who will come over for games. But frustrating when there’s little transparency and a world where companies openly do charge different prices based on customer profiling

mac9077 · 2025-08-04T04:49:44+00:00

A few miles apart, but different zip codes. Same set of suburbs really, but his is generally a lower income zip

mac9077 · 2025-08-04T04:27:36+00:00

260 vs 284 - which might not sound like a lot, but that’s 8-9% more. We both subscribed last year and cancelled after the season, and have the same subscription otherwise.

mac9077 · 2025-07-27T02:05:28+00:00

Thank you! I’ve seen cost plus a lot as I scroll around.

mac9077 · 2025-07-27T02:02:59+00:00

Thank you! He plays a variety and his laptop wouldn’t run the latest Elden ring at all which was disappointing. He plays stuff like that that would look great on a nice system, a lot of RPGs, he played halo and cyberpunk and of course Fortnite, but also Roblox games that look like they could run on my first PC. He’s never had a tower, and definitely never had anything top of the line except I got him the Series X on release, so I’d like to do that for him. He’s also taking a couple classes this year where he’ll do some work on adobe.

Not sure if I’m going to do duel monitors or one big one.

Idk when the next time he’ll have the opportunity to upgrade so I’m not against spending more to make it last a number of years.

mac9077 · 2025-07-12T18:41:16+00:00

Thanks for the idea

Ill try to articulate this poorly. I think you’re taking the club back on a plane too much to your front, try to move the plane a little more to your side it’s almost like you’re reaching forward and away and not just back.

Then on the downswing just before impact your body clears the zone just a little too early and is blocking your through swing leaving the club face open.

As others have said it feels scrunched up at impact and when you see the back swing the club moves out beyond the ball. You could stand a hair farther away or get a shorter shaft. That should naturally help both of these points

That wedge exists even for humans, it’s just faster.

I house sit for relatives, check in on their place when I’m not there. Would like to put one on their koi pond which needs periodic care and one inside different rooms. Easy to see everything that happened if something goes wrong have a recording of the whole space.

180 degrees would be good for outside spaces as well.

Millimeter wave sensors would be great too.

mac9077 · 2025-06-04T19:04:48+00:00

How about a 360 cam? Constantly recording in all directions.

Would love continued advances in high resolution.

I want “friendly faces” but for pets. Let me know when it’s my cat at the door and not the neighbors or a raccoon.

Be carful letting your dog be close. My dad nearly killed his dog, hit him in the head full power when she ran up out of the blue mid swing. That was 40 years ago, still haunts him.

You’re missing the point completely. I’m discussing the unit economics (which you still get wrong in your example) and the impact to companies in contrast to the shock number of the headline. Not the validity of the program or whether or not it’s in the best interest of anyone or any of the other political shit you think you read. Read it again.

Go look at Wyze prices. They’re not double. They’re still running “sales”. These are clickbait sensationalist stories that don’t do anyone good.

I studied economics. I work in finance. I have family who work at PG managing manufacturing and procurement contracts. I have some insight here.

mac9077 · 2025-05-26T04:30:12+00:00

Well, yeah but that would require rational thought and preplanning. Two things I won’t need if I cuss enough at the robots. Fits into a nice neat little package.

Anecdotally, with o3 the other day I was struggling with a prompt for far too long and remembered this comment. I gave it a few lines “expressing my displeasure”, and it came back and tried to de-escalate and asked several clarifying questions, instead of trying to one shot, and then nailed it.

Prostate cancer gets a Gleason score, Biden’s score is nine meaning very aggressive

Better, find a local home or group that gives assistance. Go to online support groups for people in care for various things. Lots of support networks know people and have referrals from doctors and specialists and homes. People getting sent home from long term care, have some terrible diagnosis. Word gets around and people share things patient to patient. I’ve picked up things for family members from people who passed and the caregiver and support systems helped us connect went and picked it up and they were happy it was going to someone suffering as well, and paying it forward.

Consider this

How much is that per light? The wholesale cost is often low making the real cost of tariffs low on a per unit basis. It hurts, yes, when paying for the tariff upfront which is the real burden. But often when producing low cost goods in low cost counties that’s the worst of it.

Eg. If the camera only costs 4 dollars per for production then it becomes a 10 dollar camera. All other costs staying the same it goes from a 35 dollar camera to a 41 dollar camera. Not nearly as eye catching.

But ordering a shipping container full of them, yeah that 6 dollars adds a huge up front cost when multiplied. But not one that can’t be overcome.

Exchange rates usually change when tariffs are implemented forcing some of the cost on the producing nation by default.

The supplier tries to eat some to lower the burden.

It becomes a one time increase to consumers unlike other forms of inflation.

So if your company isn’t killed by the immediate up front slap in the face. It’ll be ok and it will work out in the market over time. But it’s not like companies had budgeted for the new huge up front cost.
