No sarcasm: The $130 cable is incredible tech. This is a five-foot-long PCIe x4 cable - GPU extensions are four inches. It can feed two 4K displays at 60Hz. It can transfer data faster than an NVMe drive can store it. The fact that this is even physically possible is astounding.
This dinky-ass cable has eight impedance-matched conductors and 12 more. It's effectively multiple USB 4 cables that double as multiple DisplayPorts. It's also literally a PCIe x4 cable - Microsoft requires USB4 devices to implement a PCIe interface.
Just ordered over $2000 of filament for the next Every Filament episode. Wacky stuff like weed-scented, mosquito-repelling, extreme black, and air purifying PLA
If you're going to max out a $130 cable, it's probably a trivial line item on a corporate budget. 2015's tech was overkill for most users. The point: Apple generally doesn't overprice. They sell high-end items at high prices, and this isn't a $2500 touch-bar-MacBook situation.
Yea, I'm super late to this but I just discovered

It's almost like he understands perfectly how my ridiculous brain works and invented an organisation system exclusively to satisfy my needs. 🤔 Almost.
I remember when USB started showing up in motherboards - you could plug anything into any port of any PC and expect it to work instantly without a reboot. Less than 25 years later, it can transmit more pixels than humans can see and transfer more data than a person can produce.

High Flow work? It divides the flow path into a ring getting direct access to the core before recombing flow back into the nozzle orifice! Performance tested in my review video.

Watch:
A well-known 3D-printed blaster designer has been exposed as a particularly sick transphobe. I'm going to expunge all references to their work from my YouTube channel and other social media.
Thanks to Nerf YouTuber and classy walrus

for calling attention to this.
You take the blue brick, you follow the instructions and put your model on the shelf.
You take the red brick, you mix in some Bionicle and see how deep the rabbit hole goes…

I've been watching a lot of other people's videos and now I'm filled with seething rage. Here's a 🧵threaderino🧵of YouTube video cliches that need to die.
Every guest but me seems to have caught the Rona at Open Sauce. I wonder if it's because I barely spent any time in the Creator's Lounge.
or because I'm never included in anything 😂🥹😢😭
An influencer’s isn’t responsible for boosting everything innovative. It’s to judge which innovations matter.
I agree with Marquess - projective wearables are a fundamentally disrespectful and doofy concept.
I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers.
Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness.
First, do no harm.
I'm going to catch some flak for backtracking on my opinion about selling models, so I figure I'll explain my reasoning before folks start making up stories. 🧵
