@ColoredControls Yeah I did already apply to be notified lol.
I can imagine it's quite a pain compared to other layouts with cross dpad and less accessory buttons, thank you for the trouble from all your community!
@ColoredControls hey dude! Any chance holos for switch 2 are coming back soon? I need to pick up 2 sets so it matches my steam deck!
Fun fact, this year marks 10 years since my first order from you lol
@ColoredControls No YOU are amazing! Keep pumping out great stuff!!
These look sweet! Sadly they wouldn't match my steam deck so I'll still have to wait for default holos 😭😭
@mweinbach The first notched screen, ceramic back if I'm not mistaken. The phone that started the short lived era of truly exciting phones. A shame a second one never came out, but for enthusiasts that's a piece of history right there
A $2.5 billion robot has been alone on another planet for 13 years and is still doing science. The scale of that sentence gets worse the longer you think about it.
Curiosity landed in August 2012. Obama was president. Instagram had 80 million users. The iPhone 5 hadn’t shipped yet. The rover was designed for a two-year mission and 20 kilometers of driving. It’s now driven 35.5 kilometers, climbed over 327 meters up the side of a mountain, drilled 46 holes into Martian rock, and is currently running its fifth mission extension.
The computer running all of this has 256 MB of RAM and a 200 MHz processor. Your AirPods have more computing power. Every command sent from Earth takes 14 minutes to arrive. Every photo sent back takes the same 14 minutes. When Curiosity drills into a rock, the team in Pasadena won’t know if it worked for half an hour. They’ve been operating on that delay, every single day, for 4,846 Martian sols.
The power source is 10.6 pounds of plutonium-238 generating about 110 watts. Less than a ceiling fan. It will keep producing electricity for decades because the half-life of Pu-238 is 87.7 years. The rover will run out of moving parts before it runs out of power.
And those wheels. Machined from single blocks of aluminum, 0.75 millimeters thick. Half a dime. JPL watched them get shredded by Martian rock starting in 2013, rerouted the entire mission path, taught the rover to drive backwards, and kept going. The wheels look like they lost a fight with a can opener. The rover is still climbing a mountain.
Every iPhone you’ve owned since 2012 is in a landfill. Curiosity is on Mars, 140 million miles from the nearest repair shop, running on a ceiling fan’s worth of nuclear power, sending data through a 14-minute time delay, on shredded wheels, doing geology that rewrites what we know about whether life ever existed somewhere other than Earth.
We built that. With 0.01% of the federal budget.
Hey @DisneyPlusIT
Sono iscritto all'annuale da quando il servizio è stato rilasciato in Italia, e pagavo letteralmente la metà. Va bene alzarlo una o due volte, ma il prezzo sta salendo letteralmente ogni anno.
Per quanto mi dispiaccia temo la mia lealtà al servizio termini qui.
