Big Bang Theory is terrible, and the rest are awful at best. Good Guy Chinese Government is saving their people from shitty shows.

If your latency is in the teens of milliseconds you could actually probably get another 10ms reduction in latency by selecting low-latency gear and tweaking your OS - there's a surprising amount of lag in poorly implemented hardware.

This is Slashdot. TFA is never read.

Does the nano-particle solution happen to just be super-glue? This has been used for years for the type of thing the video shows (as I understand).

I wonder if this situation will make them ask themselves "what has gone wrong"?

I'd suggest they should look into why they've pissed everybody off - I'm sure people will be forthcoming with answers. Here's a link with some basic responses.

It's been unsafe for over a decade now.

...blame yourself for using a service which relies on magic and good will to scale further than is sensible.

3D printers were originally intended for creating moulds. 3D print the object and do simple sand-casting. Don't need a $400 000 3D printer.

Probably compromised by the NSA.

Fuck you.

A Moto G with a BIG ASS BATTERY(tm) is what I am talking about.

Of course, but even then battery life is dismal.

Equal parts incompetent and arrogant. They're like a fledgeling Microsoft, except now everybody else is moving on from yesteryear and won't waste time indulging such foolishness anymore.

It is a massive pain in the ass to charge these modern phones, and if your life is so predictable that you reliably have the privilege of plugging it in every 15-20 hours I feel sad for you.

If a manufacturer proposed an average (dual core - last year's model is fine, 1GB RAM, 800x480 screen) phone that was affordable (no, really, $500 isn't affordable) with a big ass battery I would be like SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

I don't understand all these designers who are pushing devices *waaaay* past the capabilities of the batteries. Smart watches (other than the Pebble, they did it right!) are doing exactly this and it is making their product a complete joke.
