  • The primary concern with fdm printed parts is bacteria growth in the gaps and cracks, which you cant really avoid. Some materials allow vapor smoothing, but the most popular candidates ABS and ASA are not food save, even if perfectly smooth.

    For storing stuff that does not support bacteria growth (for sure salt, maybe tea bags and pepper) PETG is a good choice. Strong consistent layer adhesion enables water tight print. Its relatively chemically robust and will not chemically react with your food, and not leach out much if at all. It also means its mostly dishwasher safe, especially at low temperatures. You MUST have a properly tuned PETG profile to get a close to perfect surface with minimal defects. Burn of any stringing, otherwise it will end up as microplastic in your food.

    For storing stuff that can spoil, the requirements are a lot higher, and the only option is coating with a food safe resin. You should research what is compatible with the printed plastic, and maybe avoid dishwasher or aggressive cleaners.




  • Very cool! Glad that there are finally working swaps directly from the app, and zero conf for low amounts is an appreciated upgrade.

    Because Monero is fungible, I assume there wont ever be KYC checks when using XMR to pay in another crypto through your service, is that correct?

    What is your target audience or use case? Because the obvious choice would be illegal items, which are excluded by your TOS. And while privacy enthusiasts are willing to spend extra, your asking price is too steep for casual use.

    I noticed the pricing page is entirely dollar nominated, with the only payment option listed “cash on delivery”, listing a bunch of typical payment options. Monero is only mentioned as a feature on the usage and FAQ tab, and both are easy to miss. Initially I wondered why you were posting here if you only accept paypal and such.



  • Nobody can buy land in china, it is only leased from the government for up to 70 years for residential usage (less for other purposes). Calling the tofu-dreg building on top of this “owning a home” is disingenuous at best and deceitful at worst. Why do people buy homes anyway instead of renting? Because all other options to invest are even worse and it is literally their only option.

    I hope you don’t tolerate how mega corps “sell” you shit like digital media or IoT devices only to later change the terms of sale and steal it back from you, because you never really owned it. Don’t tolerate the same shit if a government does it to you.



  • None of the high end chips were made in Chinese fabs, and the device barely qualifies as a “laptop” besides the form factor. For some bizarre reason they used a USB5744 USB 3.2 5Gb/s hub chip, which tells me the following:

    • Their CPU doesn’t even have multiple USB3 interfaces
    • Their CPU doesn’t even have a single 10GB/s USB interface, which has been standard for may years
    • They don’t really care about using local parts only, because they have alternative products like the GL3590

    Unless We get better close up tear down photos, this devices primary purpose is propaganda

    There is a UFS-II specification and even a PCIe version specifically for micro SD cards. It was all planned out, and it would have been trivial to tell consumers: “Yo need card with more contacts as shown in picture”. But no, the biggest manufacturer of flash storage is samsung, and they decided they’d rather sell higher storage capacity phones as a premium. Easy to do when you’re the second biggest manufacturer of of phones and apple already paved the way.
