Seriously? The library computers are running Windows 8 I highly doubt they have the technical expertise to do anything. Also why would they?

If you start sieving your urine you'll never have to buy filament ever again. Really it's a blessing in disguise.

I have no idea how it works I'm not sure if Lenovo have released that information.

It was at CEX but all the footage of it is mostly of people going "it's really interesting but it doesn't show up on camera". So is anyone's guess how good this will be.

I'm inclined to feel like it's a gimmick though. Does anyone want 3D displays?

It's rather telling though isn't it that Nintendo then abandoned the technology as soon as they went over to their next console. If it had been popular they would have included it on the switch.

Every time an AI ever does anything newsworthy just because it's obeying it's prompt.

It's like the people that claim the AI can replicate itself, yeah if you tell it to. If you don't give an AI any instructions it'll sit there and do nothing.

That is the problem with AI, if I have to check the output is valid then what's the damn point?

There is a piece of software which will take a word document and convert it into an embossed 3D print file. So you could always just skip the middleman and 3D print yourself a plaque version of your document instead.

They would have to become sci-fi level capable before they would be considered household staple items.

I didn't even know he had a brother.

The Figure robots don't really have cables that are visible. I think the bigger takeaway is that the movement is too fluid, every robot I've ever seen moves like robot, mostly because of how heavy they are. That thing's moving like a human gymnast probably because it is a human gymnast being motion tracked.

Yeah Spain's doing the same thing though so I don't think it's got anything to do with the EU.

They had this at CES. But the online footage doesn't really capture it very well so I have no idea how good the product is.

If it's pulled off where I suppose it could be useful but it just sort of seems gimmicky to me. Remember 3D TVs, remember how there was absolutely no content for them and no one bought them. Yeah.
