Shoutout Stripe for hosting good, accurate 3D CAD of their products right on their website.
NIN just doesn't miss with the production design.
we need a new word for "ideas artists" who turn ideas into grants and credit but don't actually make anything
what if they're actually killing the Mac Pro to bring back Xserve, I feel like the Mac mini has made homelab cool again
hot damn! I got 0.0039
Was wondering if all-in-one heatsink + LED PCB + lens connectorized modules were available. Turns out yes, but not from major vendors... the custom lightsaber community makes them.

It appears possible to combine 2x Mac Mini (3 4k displays each) and 2x Digiface Dante in a reasonably sized 2U rack. An all-in-one redundant playback rig for Millumin or QLab
