Today at DM we cast our largest parts yet. Drag bits like these are usually machined from solid bar. That's a lot of steel turned into chips, and a lot of machine time for a consumable part. Instead, we cast near-net blanks in 4140 Steel. 4 parts, 22 lbs each, no tooling, fast turnaround. Off to get carbide brazed and finish machined. Next: hundreds per month. 🇺🇸

Waiting for Face ID module prices to shoot up.
Turns out the hardest part of getting depth sensing on a custom headset working is figuring out laser safety...

This bounty is closed to new entrants because I’m pretty sure @icanc4 is days from winning it
If anyone pulls a full-res visible image and a NIR image with the dots showing off one of these modules without the rest-of-the-phone I'll send them a $1000 hacker bounty. That's 2-3 zeros below the community value, but maybe motivating for a brilliant student?

“China does not interfere in other countries’ affairs”? Here’s the PRC Embassy in Canada telling Ottawa what it can and cannot talk about. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/chinaembottawa/status/…
Commenting on #Canadian Prime Minister Mark #Carney's claims that he would be “raising the importance with which we attach to the non-interference in our affairs by China and other countries” on the sidelines of the #APEC meeting, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that #China has always upheld the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs and has never had any interest in interfering in Canada's domestic affairs.

As we've documented since then, years of engagement and pressure failed to change Beijing’s approach. Subsidies, overcapacity, IP theft, & protectionism have distorted global markets—eroding U.S. manufacturing, undermining U.S. biz, & creating supply chain vulnerabilities.
