I just wish that I could justify the cost. I love the idea, and the execution, but I am not paying over ~$250 for a phone when that lower mid range works more than well enough for me.

[email protected] is way more in line for this.

This seriously does not belong in a Technology community.

Yes! You know what it is, don’t you boy? Shall I tell you? It’s the least I can do. Steel isn’t strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child.

The version you want to use is Tenacity. It seems good, but I haven’t done extensive reading on it.

Here’s the TL;DW courtesy of @[email protected] on the other post I made with this video:

That is really awesome. I have some kinda strong opinions about web apps and the bloat they can cause in general, but this makes a tool that is honestly necessary for many professions widely accessible.

Basically, they were bought out by MuseGroup. MuseGroup tried to add telemetry and some bad TOS stuff. It all got reversed.

Well, in terms of for real metrology, you are correct. A better comparison would have been Brown and Sharpe. However, Starrett has more than enough reputation of everything that they produce being of a very high standard- primarily layout tools like calipers, precision levels, etc.

ETA: This could very well be my bias as an American showing. I know from experience that the fit and finish of a high end pair of Mitutoyo calipers have what I consider to be subpar to the Starrett equivalent in terms of fit and finish. There is also a $500 ish price difference which could also be a subconscious bias.

On the dowel hole point, just measuring this stuff is going to take at the bare minimum an automated and purpose built CMM, which will drive the cost up even more. If we are to assume +/- 5 microns for every single part - we are talking about the level of manufacturing that Mitutoyo or Starrett have. This will be a multi-million dollar vehicle that noone would buy.

The article states “sub 10 micron”, which I interpreted to be +/- .0004" in practice

These tolerances are very possible to hold while machining, but speaking from my perspective having been a machinist by trade for 20+ years, holding those tolerances for every single part on a vehicle is going to get prohibitively expensive really fucking fast.

It’s necessary because our government is stupid, slow, and can’t make great choices. I should have clarified that it is deemed necessary by the government because they’ll never make the decisions to back it up. I don’t like it, and I never will. I typed that from the flawed perspective of government and should have worded it better.

I believe it to be a short-sited thing, but honestly necessary. This is due to the very large range of federal convictions. It goes from having some pot on you, to armed robbery and murder. I don’t agree that those things should necessarily (case by case) include the same voting restrictions, but there is no way the US government is going to take the time to separate the “worse” crimes from the “lesser”. And, as has been mentioned before the goal of the US penal system is (sadly) not rehabilitation. As long as the government has that attitude, it will never change. You lose more than just the right to vote as a felon, btw. The rights most often curtailed include the right to vote and hold public office, employment rights, domestic rights, and financial and contractual rights.

What a coincidence!

I have been a machinist by trade for just over 20 years. We had a lathe accident. One bad enough that everyone on the shop floor walked out.

Does a Vice article count?

Being able to easily replace a screen would be amazing.
