None of that matters, this thing will be deliberately to expensive for anyone regular or poor to use. Only rich yuppies with a YouTube following will own these, everyone else will be watching homeless wondering what happened?

Just wait a moment

This is because of the two emerging markets.

NAND Flash

Mobile Phones

and Tablets/Phablets

The tablet is somewhat like a phone and a laptop but not either.

Intel and NVIDIA were already in their own respective markets. CPU and GPU.

AMD was in between CPU&GPU and IBM no longer made great Console chips. See Sony Cell Processor (poor performing difficult to program) and Xbox 360 red ring of death issues.

There suddenly needed to be a fab that could fill the gap for the emerging mobile phone sector. Intel failed and failed HARD in this market. They could not pivot to mobile phones.

Samsung and TSMC however did not fail. And NAND Flash is necessary in order for mobile phones to store the amount of data that they store.

This new market heavily funded both Samsung and TSMC to the point where TSMC is able encroach on Intel's heavy data center customers. Before this those customers were mostly Intel as they were the most reliable as opposed to 2010s AMD. Back then you would be laughed out of the room if you remotely mentioned going with an AMD system.

They had a very tiny laptop (mobile) segment.

Desktops, Servers, and Laptops were all Intel. And that made sense for them to stick to just that and not pivot into the new and emerging mobile phone market/segments.

And yeah hindsight is 20/20 and all that. Now it is Samsung and TSMC with heavy mobile segment growth. And because they are capital rich, they are encroaching into Intel's territory faster than Intel can pivot to theirs.

Intel Foundry won't fire up until 2025. And even then, we will see how many customers they can win back. (Just Qualcomm and Apple pretty much).

I can see Apple wanting to diversify their suppliers from TSMC. Apple makes most of what Intel and TSMC can sell. Smartphone, watches, iPad/Tablets, laptop and desktop chips.

Qualcomm just sells many many mobile phone CPU/GPUs so they may go with Intel if priced correctly.

I don't see anyone dethroning Samsung from their NAND flash memory business. They are pretty good at that. And the is demand for that type of storage.

HDD manufacturers appear content with pumping out 10TB+ drives forever. No change and no one clamoring for big changes there.

Yes and no.

3D printing doesn't necessarily mean that the printer is movable nor that you can build an other one easily.

This article speak about 3D printed elements made then moved.

And remember that moving the "printer", even if possible it's necessarily a good idea. They aren't plastic 3D printer !

There's actually a lot of already available technology to do quick and customized building. (Like Lego-style bricks etc)

Also all movable 3D printer I seen are unable to handle tall construction. That is to this date the cheapest way of building a lot of house in one go. It's also more ecological. (Less thermal loss, easier to use something else than car)

Imagine being so filled with anger and resentment, yet having no clue what you're talking about.

"Nothing has advanced since 1950 because capitalism! Capitalism, I say! SCREEEE!"

Except you don't have the constraints of a prefab. It's printed, so it can be made however you want (within reason). If it can be designed in a 3d modeling program, it can be printed.

Yes....prototypes generally cost a lot of money because you are focused on making one not one hundred.

Does absolutely no one on reddit know how R&D works?

There are already large printers printing concrete in dryer climates. I'd imagine as long as the consistency is the same they could easily use that material instead.

That is exactly what it is. The new Tempest 3d engine.

Wow...you've no idea what you are talking about and you just laid it all plain and bare for everyone to see.

My apartment is 650 sq ft of livable space.

I'd give up 50 sq ft to have a house of my own.

Not all of us can get 1200 sq ft apartments.

It might be an implementation of HRTF - head-related transfer function.

You've never been to Maine, I take it.

Far enough away from the cities and zoning laws practically do not exist...and EVERYTHING HERE is 'far enough away'.

Love LTT, not sure how I missed this one?? Thanks for the link!

I've seen these before. They just vibrate the surface. The bass sucks. The treble is tinny as fuck, if even there. It was a horrible idea twenty years ago and it's still a horrible idea now.

I'd be interested if they can be integrated with existing sound systems. Can I hook these up with the same Bluetooth device as my car stereo? They'd make for a sick addition for surround sound, but I'd be worried about signal delay.

Somebody read between the lines!

So it’s just electrostatic speakers basically?

Except a headrest has plenty of room for speakers. Ask any 90’s Miata. (That wasn’t a base model)

It really is neat, expensive but there’s also nothing else like it. Ltt did a video on it and were blown away by the side channels and things where there were no speakers

Lol. We didn't solve the housing crisis but we did figure out how to make these high end single story eco homes.
