I love that video. Also, it's unfortunately exactly WHY AR will catch on.

But I don't think it has to or even will turn out that way. The uses for learning alone will be amazing. Think of working on your car with an AR overlay. Maybe it'll even be powered by an actually effective ML algorithm trained solely on repair videos, if your make and model aren't available. Think of going to a museum, and having unlimited placards and links and tangentially related deep dives. Think of 3d video calls where you don't have to cluster around a computer screen, but can better see eye contact. There are definitely pros, and let's not forget the Internet used to be a mess of ads like that. Things eventually improve.

Glad they put a spot for my monster dong. Truly the old ways were better.

VR is probably going to stay niche, at least until AR explodes...but AR absolutely will. Vision Pro showed what could be done to the masses, Google and others were working on the business side for years. It's just a question of miniaturization and batteries, but I predict in 10 years AR will be exploding.

Sounds like a smart guy. He gets meat AND all your dried goods!

Shhhh you just described iterative development. Careful not to be pro agile, or the developers with no social skills will start attacking you for being a scrum master in disguise!

It feels like the goal is to get you married to one platform, and the big players are happy for that to be them. As someone who's used Keepass for over a decade, the whole thing seems less flexible than my janky open source setup, and certainly worse than a paid/for profit solution like bitwarden.

Jesus Christ stop spamming the same regurgitated Marxist post everywhere. At least reformulate your "socialism is the solve to everything!" post in a couple ways, or just only post it once per thread.

Trump is definitely not a "figurehead only". He is a tiger that what's left of the Republican establishment has by the tail. They did not want him to win the primary again, they all hate him, and are just trying to get whatever judicial appointments and erosion of regulations they can out of him. Anyone who thinks Trump is a puppet is absolutely blind to American politics. He is an absolute wildcard that everyone is trying to react to, a whirlwind that folks hope they can push in the direction they want to destroy the things they want, but they are equally aware they can fall out of grace and be fired in two weeks like everyone in his last administration.

Gross, awful, terrible. Buuuuuut....

Hard to swallow pill: This will probably get tweaked and eventually be very successful. Most people do not like or know how to mess with settings on their phones. You, on this website, are probably an exception but deep inside you know that. How many friends and family members have you had to explain how to change something on their phones? How many have you noticed that NEED to change something on their phones but didn't even know it, much less think to ask? Now think of all the people whose phones you've never even seen.

Of course I'd love to see it go the way of touchscreens in cars where consumers reject it, but I just don't see it. Assuming they can get it to where it does the 5 or 10 tasks the average user would want to do, this will probably be the new norm moving foward. Don't believe me? Look at modern macs or windows and how many settings they hide.

Only been a tradition for 50 years. Relatively young compared to the age of many political dealmakers.

Just learned I was funded by rich people. Did I miss a paycheck somewhere?

-an actual economist, telling you deflation is bad

 

If there's one thing makers have, it's a lot of stuff. Both tools to create things, and created thing themselves! I'm really curious what storage solutions everyone has used. We're thinking about a furniture/house rearranging and I'm going to need to commit to a system soon.

I've looked at #gridfinity (https://gridfinity.xyz/) and it seems ok, but definitely skewed more toward the small parts, electronic components and 3d printing world. I have a lot of woodworking tools, fasteners and hardware and home DIY stuff as well as electronics, so I need a much more holistic solution. Right now I'm leaning towards a French cleat system along a couple walls and just building custom shelves/boxes for big stuff and then trying to find a way to organize all my smart parts and just attach that system to the cleats, but I definitely want to see more ideas. I've looked at Harbor Freight boxes and some custom 3d printed solutions, but post your organization systems here!

 

Like I said yesterday, trying to get some content on here while we wait on more creators to join. But if you haven't found his channel yet, basically everything Under Dunn does is gold.

 

Stumbled upon this on YouTube and thought it might fit here, but happy to hear the community's thoughts on if bushcraft fits into Making. Obviously I believe in a wide tent, and what is bushcraft if not outdoor Making with basic tools?

 

Full disclosure: I'm literally just stealing content from Reddit so there's some stuff to browse here while the user base builds up. I didn't create this, but luckily there's a Thingiverse link so you don't have to give them traffic if you don't want to or you're like me and can't after June (mobile user).

But anyway, I love simple little usable 3d prints like this. Figurines are cool, but function over form is like my personal printing preference.
