desire to learn more DSP maths increases

But seriously that's really cool! You also sound really cool, do you mind me asking where your studies have taken you? I'm looking at going back to study soon, potentially for compsci and mechanical engineering but I'm torn between a lot of different degree at this moment

Thanks for expounding, I'll definitely look into using that filament.

My aim is to find a cost effective diy solution for robotic servos. I want to try to make something equivalent to the Dynamixel mid range.

I think the cost of these motors make amateur robotics prohibitively expensive.

I considered designing a gear hob / jig to make hobs for the open lathe 3d print, but I feel like that's too far abstracted from my purpose and most people wouldn't be willing to go that route. (But it'd still be pretty cool)

So I'm considering multiple options, 3d printed gears, purchased metal gear sets, diy gears from the lathe

I'm gonna do some more research on these gears and I'll let you know if I find anything culpable

Woah those are some cool properties, I wonder how hard these gears would be to manufacture at home? I'm looking at implementing my own custom gear reductions in servos but I don't think my 3d prints will mesh well enough or withstand long usage

My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

  1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

  2. Boot into live distro

  3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

  4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

  5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

Hope it helps any newcomers!

Shit you've got my vote, I was trying to think of the most influential game in a positive light but this is actually it and it's depressing that it is.

Hopefully it wins its deserved title, it would make a loud statement that we're aware of the scummy business practices that have subverted the gaming industry since corpo-ghouls realised it was profitable.

Cool! I'd love to see what custom microcode comes of this. Especially in relation to the speculated backdoors on CPUs

While I enjoy speculating over UFO/UAP footage, it can be abused by a lot of media to take the spotlight off of some other very real and most likely concerning news.

Trump is speed running the collapse of a nation, so it makes sense for coverage to deviate to UFO/other news when he's doing dodgies.
