That could have purchased 2GW of solar farms, enough to power roughly 2 million households, and have done so for a generation.

Aw dammit, he’s going to do ONE thing I would appreciate.

Onshape is the way to go for free tier CAD.

Otherwise TinkerCAD can work, it’s just more of an MS Paint version of CAD.

If you’re white collar, blue collar and below it’s grand larceny, theft, stealing, looting, pillaging, and so forth.

That’s called “looting”.

In Trumpcoin.

1. The painting won’t ever be completed.
2. Nobody will get paid.

Thanks, DOUG.

Fucking thundering douche canoe.

The whole thing would need to be flexible, AND you’d need a power-capable slew connector, which would not be cheap, even at volume.

Flexible conductors are very expensive (source: worked in automation). If you use cheap ones they’ll fail and either the panels won’t make power, and/or you’ll have an exposed shock hazard.

Besides, we have way more walls than windows. Fixed panels make way more sense.

Correction: enshitification will continue regardless of morale.

The enshitification will continue until morale improves.

Oh, I’m aware. Just wondering which one this is. (I’m betting he doesn’t.)

Honest question: does he have the authority to do this? Not that it changes anything in the immediate term, just wondering if this is yet another move that will eventually be undone by the courts.

How is this a first in any way? Ground effect vehicles have been a thing for decades.

This generalization can fuck off in a number of different ways.

I disagree, but I’m just a mechanical engineer.

The problem is that these are under ideal conditions. And I don’t see an application for a running robot that can operate on under ideal conditions. Show me this thing doing the same thing under adverse conditions, and actually having an application (delivery?) and I’ll ne impressed.

I acknowledge that this is a technical feat, and not an easy one. But show me why it matters. Why this is better than a wheeled robot moving at the same speeds.

“Highly specialized machine does single task faster than humans”. Yes, it did. And?

This is the info we need.
