I'd like to have one of these devices once the prices get a bit more normal. I remember paying 400€ for an iPhone 4 when it came out, a flagship phone at the time by all metrics. Adjusted for inflation, that's about 600€.

Flagship prices have now reached the 1000€ mark, with marginal upgrades, and in many cases actual downgrades.

There is no world in which I can justify paying 2x-4x the flagship price for a device fulfilling a fundamentally similar purpose.

For a different comparison, a 14" MacBook Pro costs that much.

There's an RFC or two to spawn threads so I'm looking forward to that. The current way of workers + messages is tedious as hell.

It's incredible how this comment is downvoted for stating facts

Even facts can be stated in many different ways.

And people who downvote comments because the facts therein aren’t stated in a way they like are snowflakes.

The fuck is a founder

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN

This is great stuff. Gaussian splatting is really proving to be a great format, even an intermediate one.

This might be very useful for bonding PTFE and aluminium on cookware if it ends up being food safe.

Any reason to think this flower of fluorines (seriously, that thing looks INTENSE) would be any more environmentally safe than PFOA?

I'd be interested to see the Things I Won't Work With author's take on the synthesis given his usual reaction to fluorine chemistry

I made the same error as you, before realizing that in this molecule the fluorine is bounded to a carbon not an oxygen. Fluorine once bounded to a carbon won't move from there unless it receive a lot's of energy. A fluorine bounded to an oxygen really wants to be elsewhere and it's ready to pay a lot's of energy to make it happen! So the scary looking part of that chemical is incredibly stable and this is what make this substance potentially dangerous.

I'm mostly curious about how they managed to get all of the scary looking parts crammed onto that one end and how hairy that process was.

I really don't know about food safe. Or safe for any end consumer, really. They absolutely need to do some severe toxicity testing. Because this funny new glue is an organic phosphate which in itself already raises some serious questions. On top of that, the ring also contains two perfluoropinacol moieties which could be released e.g. on heating or through interaction with acids or something else. This is a highly volatile molecule and "fatal in contact with skin," i.e. of the highest toxicity class. That ain't no good.

If you don't cook with ethanol that is...

The media player app for android set top boxes like nvidia shield handles different subtitle formats and advanced settings much better than the jellyfin one, especially for anime subs.
