Just because some indies will make slop doesn’t mean all of them will. There will be good stuff too.

Since when did Rimworld fans want an MMO?

I work in support for a SaaS product and every single click on the platform takes a noticeable amount of time. I don’t understand why anyone is paying any amount of money for this product. I have the FOSS equivalent of our software in a test VM and its far more responsive.

Welcome to Linux on desktop a few decades ago!

More speculation on how someone could mess up trying to copy it if they don’t consider safety

Also believe? I don’t think I ever said anything shouldn’t be freely available.

Yes, this one does. Someone copying it may make poor choices and change it in ways that are dangerous.

Overpressure, 10m deep is roughly double the pressure at sea level.

If they are charging that much they clearly don’t want my app

Iron lung diving snorkel setup. Allows you to overcome the pressure and use a 15m long snorkel!

And you accidentally set it to the wrong depth and blow up your lungs.

This is why I keep to shallow freediving or snorkeling. There also isn’t anything of value to see in the water here which helps. Sometimes the water is almost clear enough to see your feet. Did manage to swim through a school of tiny fish before.

Not having to surface as often could be nice, but most ways of doing that involve quite a few risks and/or costs, so a snorkel is probably the best choice.

I can see someone strapping the helmet to their head, then get a leak while 1m deep. They notice when it fills up. Panic and try to get it off, can’t. Surface, it’s still full of water because the leak is at the air entry hole and they designed it to fit snugly around the neck and it won’t drain without tipping upside down. Drowns while struggling to undo the straps holding it on

Pretty sure constructing something to live in isn’t the expensive part, it’s land you are allowed to live on that is.

It’s not art, it’s a fleshlight.

Yeah, it’s adding some risks of diving without many of the safety mechanisms or training.

Should be ok as it isn’t going that deep anyway. If it fails you get out and surface.

First thought was nope nope nope to diy diving helmet, but looks like it would be quick to remove so not too bad. Feels way overengineered if you just wanted to sit in your pool though.

I know snorkels get into problems with depth as your lungs can’t inhale against the pressure. But I am curious how deep that would get you. The dead air in the snorkel is another issue but you can solve that easily with some valves or just exhaling through your nose. Bit impractical to have a very long rigid snorkel but a tube attached to a float could work. Just not sure what the depth limit would be before you can’t fill your lungs anymore. 1m? 5m?

Looks quite interesting, not sure if it would be upgradable with a newer pi though, changing IO layouts would probably make that difficult without taking up more space.

Reject smartphone, embrace pi zero strapped to the back of a display panel.

Phones have always been just like shit computers, if I can get a computer small enough I won’t need the phone. Palmtop type of thing perhaps?

People are unlikely to get a dog if they expect to die soon, or are generally unhealthy and unable to walk it which is also more likely if you are going to die within 10 years.
