  • You should look in a mirror, because you’re the densest one here, you’re just not getting it

    It’s possible with high precision sensors in a device meant for that purpose i.e. NOT your average phone

    Its NOT possible with any sort of degree of accuracy with the commodity grade sensors available in most consumer available devices

    The “app” that they “pinky promise” is accurate, isn’t. It can tell when you’re moving and coupled with GPS even what speed and that’s about it. Any promises about being able to determine where you are in the vehicle are a lie.

    The sensors built-in to your phone are done so for the job of determining the position of the device relative to YOU the PERSON NOT relative to where YOU AND your phone ARE in the physical space i.e. is it in your pocket, are you trying to rotate to landscape, is it upside down. NOT where you and your phone together are in physical space i.e. what seat you’re in.






  • Kind of makes you hope the transporter in any scifi form doesn’t get invented, as they all seem to have their philosophical issues

    Idk why everyone gets caught up on a transporter’s only use being transporting people

    I just want a transporter to transport packages instantly. No polluting trucks or trains or ships or planes, no criminally under paid and overworked army of warehouse workers and “gig economy delivery drivers” in order to meet same-day/next day delivery targets. No worries about if it was packaged enough to survive a courier. No need to be home for signature/missed deliveries

    When you buy something online, someone just grabs it, shoves it on a pad and pushes a button then BOOM it’s in your house.

    Even Starfleet took awhile after its invention before certifying them for “biological use”

    A hairdryer or heatgun kinda work, but it’s super easy to accidentally heat damage the display underneath (and it’s sensitivity only gotten worse with these super fancy displays these days).

    It also doesn’t spread the heat very well.

    This is a great solution because the bed is temp controlled and evenly spread
