I’d take alcohol over printers any day.
The complete lack of printers is a huge plus.
Also fuck a app, the colours should be switched for that.
yeah,the colors on that row are backwards
Gotta watch out for your Brother’s Canon.
I’m not too sure about KyoSarah either.
Havent messed with a kyocera. Worst I’ve seen was konica minolta.
The only time I spent on a Konica minolta immediately thought to myself “there is no way this thing is meant to be configured by a human.” That shit is horrendous. It was immediately dropped the second it failed to allow a secure password due to having a disallowed character list.
Edit: mixed up printer brands
My office uses a Konica Minolta printer and using it is so convoluted
I’m clearly too uncool for this place, but aren’t alcohol and saunas a dangerous mix?
I don’t know, but that’s still better than printers in saunas.
The “no printers” is a positive, unless it’s a laser printer from the 2000’s.
(Someone should make an open source laser printer.)
it’s ironic how the worst piece of proprietary software made to trick customers is in the printers, the software straight up just lies on there being no ink
Even worse is, you need to regularly use the inkjet printer, or the cartridge clogs.
Are you talking about the office or the sauna?
I am devastated that I got rid of my 2000s HP LaserJet (with Ethernet). Only flaw it had was that it didn’t have a duplexer.
I think the problem with creating a printer is that you have to have a reliable source of ink that will not sue you if you use their designs
Toner isn’t that hard to source.
The real issue is precision accuracy. Keeping things to 2D might sound easier than 3D, but 3D printers don’t need the level of accuracy and precision that 2D printers do. 300dpi means dots every 85 microns. A very carefully tuned FDM 3D printer can get around 50 microns, but see below for the gory details:
Either way, 300dpi isn’t particularly impressive for a paper printer. Usable, but there’s going to be some blockiness to text, and graphics won’t be good at all. 600 or 1200dpi is more like it. Which means we take that 85 microns and cut it in half, and maybe cut it in half again.
If we’re talking color, than our difficulty increases 4x (because there’s four cartridges for CMYK). They all have to be aligned properly to mix the colors to get a good image. We’re also definitely headed towards 1200dpi at a minimum for good results.
Now, an open source plotter would be interesting. Not great for text documents, but useful for diagrams.
That’s the nice thing about laser printers, lasers are super accurate. You’re not moving any significant mass around. All you’re doing is rotating a mirror and moving that beam in a single axis. If you continuously spin the mirror then your accuracy depends on how fast you can turn the diode on and off.
With laser printers, all you need is toner, which is much more easily available.
Printers are a restricted item in most countries when it comes to manufacturing and producing due to counterfeiting, as such any open source printer you could produce would most likely run a foul of local laws due to the ability to remove anti-counterfeiting requirements.
Why does the gay sauna provide I-Pads?
They probably don’t allow phones inside, because people could take pics of others. This way people van still access the internet I guess.
A lot of places like this don’t want you using your own devices inside. I’d guess that they’ve disabled the cameras, or at least made it difficult to send photos outside of the device?
Just smashed the cameras tobe sure.
So that you could write fake and gay stories on 4chan without risking dropping your personal electronic device into the jacuzzi.
My immature reaction is to snicker at the name “Pipeworks”. Part or my sense of humor refuses to advance beyond the 7th grade.
I think that’s the goal given the logo
given the logo
…and the business model
Shit. I’m not gay, but seems like a deal for a sauna visit
You’d think, but sometimes fitting everything in that you want to do can be a pain in the ass.
Give it a go. I’m sure you will be welcomed with opened … arms.
No free coffee in the men’s sauna? 😔
Fuck apps, I fuck apps
The “yes” and “no” for app should trade colors. Who in their right mind wants a business to have an app
I posted that as a reply, scrolled down, and see you have the exact same sentiment as me hahaha
“private meeting rooms” lol
Private meeting rooms huh?
we need a map of gay saunas with printers
I actually had to look this up. You mentioned wework in Edinburgh and compare it to a gay sauna in Glasgow. Have you factored in the commuting time between going from Glasgow to Edinburgh park?
These mafs need an app!
If they did, it should have been a website.
