Jesus christ Im in the wrong engineering field

[umbral moss]

it's like 15 minutes worth of work

$500 pls

[potent arrow]

Give me that 500$

[prisma fog]

i mean if you can make keyboard for that cheap

[umbral moss]

getting paid more than a team of lawyers per hour to tell a CNC to make a big rectangle at a fixed depth

[prisma fog]

you should really do that

a good GB can easily go for 400-500, and that's at huge group by quantity

this keyboard if i were to do 50 unit, would be less than half the price

anyways , gonna do my second design, and hopefully a more unique one this time

[potent arrow]

kk, hire me if you need an engineer to convert cad drawings to a machine path

[umbral moss]

$700 because it's a rush job

[potent arrow]

So I did some more reading into this
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111866.0
It looks like you took the design of this person, or contacted the factory in china that originally manufactured the GB order of this guy. Then had them mill in a few FFXIV words for 1000$ and had it anodized blue. Which really isnt "Engineering", as much as getting gouged and plagiarism.

[prisma fog]

lol no

that's not how it works

it's actually not the same keyboard, it looks a bit similar

but someone i know did a base cad design with that "form" in mind

the interior of the board is also different

and i have no idea what that gb was manufactured at

[potent arrow]

You literally admitted you had someone copy the design 1:1 with a pair of calipers

thats just copying

even if you shrink it

[prisma fog]

no

maybe you need to read

or learn to read

[umbral moss]

I can see why your contact in china charged you $1000 for a simple job

"hey there's a mistake in your print"

"maybe learn to read"

[modest moss]

"Sure the design is inspired however the person just saw the board once and basically did the cad drawing themself from a picture."

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-pam-beesly-theyre-the-same-picture-the-same-picture-they-are-the-same-picture-gif-20830121

one less screw and different feet

[umbral moss]

and the feet can be different if there aren't counterbores milled out for specific shapes, so that's not really a thing

if the PCB is different that's like, one material change that would require different screw patterns

[sly elk]

dude let them enjoy their $1000 keyboard

[potent arrow]

[modest moss]

"My friend gave me the base design said as long as I don’t modify inner dimension and plate mount / support mechanism, he has a pcb that would fit. That’s prob what he meant lol"

[umbral moss]

I can't though, they basically bought two keyboards for no reason

[sly elk]

because they felt like it?

[jaunty light]

no we only allow people to enjoy their $1000 monitor stand

[sly elk]

LOL

[modest moss]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/uokskq/one_of_its_kind_my_keyboard_hydaelyn_is_finally/i8fi45o/

they ripped it off lol

[sly elk]

to be fair that keyboard is still a one off, and the monitor stands are ridiculous compared to a normal monitor stand

and and

if you called dell and tried to buy a random monitor stand it'd probably still cost at least $50 for a nice adjustable one

probably $100 for the alienware ones lol

[jaunty light]

more than 100 tbh

[sly elk]

yea

[jaunty light]

when the 2721 came out it was like 1400

[sly elk]

it's one of those weird invisible costs

oh, and it's dell

so you know they over-engineered the damn thing lol

[jaunty light]

bought it for 700 after it would not sell, which was still almost the lowest cost it's been the whole lifecycle lol..

i like the track nipple thing for menu items

[sly elk]

dell's sales are fun

[jaunty light]

just remember if u buy dell monitors there's no warranty

[sly elk]

?

where are you buying them from to not get a warranty? lol

[modest moss]

they definitely have warranty here

[sly elk]

yea that's what I was thinking lol

they often have 3 year warranties

[jaunty light]

it's a lie

don't believe that shit

[sly elk]

idk I got one of my monitors replaced because the color was wrong xD

everyone told me it wasn't a good reason but they did the warranty swap so

[umbral moss]

originel cantent donut steel

paints design blue

[jaunty light]

love.. spitfire labs after it took midi and spit out this monstrosity

[modest moss]

isn't that just their free shit?

[jaunty light]

the way their percussion suite is tuned you can feed it anything and it's fire

[modest moss]

I'll tell my mate you like his work

[jaunty light]

I haven't used it at all I just downloaded literally everything they had a while ago

[potent arrow]

@umbral moss damn you, now that I ordered new keycaps I'm thinking about building a new board

[lost python]

sweet

[sick edge]

He did it from his head? Das pretty good

[dull garnet]

haven't updated my b450 tomahawk yet

fuckers

[modest moss]

pretty sure that wasn't true

[sly elk]

that's funny because the b450 tamohawk was like "THE" amd motherboard for a long time lol

if you told someone in /r/buildpc that you were gonna use x470 you'd get yelled at for not buying a b450 tamohawk

"It's amd, nobody overclocks these things anyway"

nice lol

and here i am still rocking z390

every time I'm like "eh next gen"

rgb looks cool

[umbral moss]

poggin

I want to get a custom keyboard, but then I need a custom mouse and then things get complicated

[sly elk]

i like this dude's setup

[sick edge]

That.. is aligned

[sly elk]

i like the square kef speakers

i can't stand the curvy ones

[sick edge]

<- speakers in confusion

[sly elk]

though ultimate i'm still a little sus of speakers that don't have their own tweeters

[boreal surge]

Being oncall be like:

Good morning shit is broken

[sick edge]

If you look not that careeefully, they don't even trace accurately.

It's a different section. XD

[boreal surge]

Even after switching teams is the same

[sick edge]

But, close enough

I have two screens, i find myself not really using the otherone.. wonder if I can get an even cheaper screen for it reallyt

[umbral moss]

I wanted to get a flagship screen for my primary display and move my XB270 to the second display

like the 32" 4k/144 display that they have now

[sly elk]

the first trick is the monitors have to be the same dpi

[odd sand]

benis, obviously c=8

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/press-release/msi-announces-its-entire-amd-300-series-motherboard-lineup-will-support-zen3 even better for msi am4 users

[modest moss]

3hrs late scrub, Rob posted it already

[hard drift]

😔 I’m working

Oh well

[deep sapphire]

Get back to work wagie

Where’s my Easton bat

[sly elk]

this setup is pretty too

that plastic 3d wall thingy is a bit too cliche though

[sick edge]

isn't nit supposed to be sound foam?

[royal forge]

Isnt the screen a bit too close?

I'd feel so cramped

[sly elk]

idk

my screen is about that close but I don't sit with my stomach against the table

(though I do stand that way lol)

[royal forge]

I'd like some arm space

Im one of em "open space" kinda person

But i'd have a gundam wall

My dream room is a triple monitor setup but nearby is my paint booth and gunpla gear

Maybe some power tools next door cuz i'd love to get into wood working

Those seem cool but i'd probably slice me fingers off

It'll all be milwauke branded, in honor of @deep sapphire

[sly elk]

but makita is made in japan

-looks at list- nvm maybe not

[royal forge]

I mean, it looks like an amazing setup but i feel the table is a wee bit crowded

I always wondered about those "hackerman" keyboard arms

Kinda like if someone took a lamp arm, reinforced it and slapped a keyboard on it

[modest moss]

[royal forge]

Oooh

Lucky kids

[modest moss]

I ain't spending £100 on stuff they might barely use

[royal forge]

Cheapskate dad

[sick edge]

They just gotta become consultants

[sly elk]

them fancy mac setups tho

i think the only thing on that setup that didn't cost an arm and a leg is the alex drawer cabinet on the left lol

interestingly the caldigit TS4 dock can drive 2 6k60hz monitors while using 1 thunderbolt cable

neat.

so he's plugging 1 cable into his laptop to drive everything. very nice.

i love how clean studio displays look, shame they cluttered theirs up with those screen lights xd

[sly elk]

dang I haven't played my gpi at all

it;s a really cool piece of gear, just wish I could stick more games on it

better games**

https://blinry.org/50-tic80-carts/

this is also fun to look at

a lot of the stuff doesn't even look old

I think even their 'paint' app looks modern-ish because they used a modern color palette

sheesh

Light electric vehicles (bikes, scooters, skateboards) are now causing a sizable number of fires in NYC.[1] It's mostly a battery quality problem, apparently. FDNY reported 28 battery fires in 2019, 44 in 2020, and 104 in 2021. Bike and scooter shop fires tend to result in multiple batteries cooking off.

Yesterday, a co-worker called SCCM "Sic'em" instead of "S-C-C-M".

PC gaming is so fun compared to console. The only thing I miss about console is the quiet fan

[dull garnet]

[deep sapphire]

Do you ever sleep

[jaunty light]

[still cypress]

I don't think it's possible for a PC to run as quiet as a next gen console

[deep sapphire]

To busy being a turbo weeb

[jaunty light]

u just dont notice when i be sleepin

[deep sapphire]

I miss u

[hard drift]

It is 100% possible

You figure when the consoles actually heat up they do get loud not to mention they’ll get louder over time

[deep sapphire]

Not if you go AMD because they start up at full blast

[hard drift]

That’s a lie lmao

[deep sapphire]

No it isn’t!

[hard drift]

If anything that’s nvidia because they need 800w+ to try and beat amd

[deep sapphire]

AMD can’t beat anything and just crashes at every game

[hard drift]

Say that to dx12/ue5

[still cypress]

I had Xbox series x for one year. Didn't make a sound accept for on start up

Okay how’s your RAM issue going

True

I’m gonna work harder

[wet hound]

yo if anyone is available i have a huge issue lmfao

basically what's happened is - I've moved from the US back to asia for a bit - moving to europe shortly but i've bought the game through steam, this includes all DLC

however the mogstation will only allow me to connect to my steam account if my steam account is from the same region i've registered from (the US)

so now im in quite the pickle because im unsure how to really change my steam region without completely risking suspension of my steam account

if someone wouldnt mind helping me my DMs are open or you could just @ me here :DD

would be greatly appreciated, i just wanna play with my friends :^)

(and i know its possible because i have played asia to NA before but i have no idea how to navigate around the issue atm)

[jaunty light]

not legit advice, but steam should 100% not ban you for "using VPN" assuming you aren't trying to exploit regional pricing

never had an issue in my case to VPN on steam and steam games for various regions

[potent arrow]

I wonder if you can use XIVlauncher's steam account support to play

Idk if it actually goes through steam

Probally crazy talk

[wet hound]

ive tried to basically switch my region but it asks for like a new billing address and such

and it says i can only change region every 3 months

and its been over a year since ive moved to asia

[jaunty light]

Tbh if you have an unusual situation, might recommend contacting support and explaining it

ALRIGHT NERDS

My dad is thinkin of buyin my teenage siis a vr headset

I've convinced him it's totally not an occulus quest or valve index

So we're talking those cheapo mobile phone stuck on ur phase shit

Know any good ones?

[modest moss]

Why not oculus quest? I heard they were quite good

[royal forge]

Because the occulus quest is stupid expensive?

[modest moss]

That's vr

[royal forge]

Its like.. 25% of my salary Shue

My dad is gettin her one of those "strap your phone to your head" ones

But it comes with a controller

So thats more confusing than anythin else

[modest moss]

Yeah that's gonna be something I know nothing about

Does she have ps4?

Might be able to get a used psvr at a reasonable price

[royal forge]

Kinda hilarious

But my household has never had a console

[modest moss]

One thing you could consider that's very cheap, Google cardboard

Literally a cardboard headset that lets you see what vr is like before spending a lot of cash

Needs nfc on phone

[royal forge]

I know...

[modest moss]

Can use Bluetooth controller I think

[royal forge]

But its a bday gift

So

Ya know

I had to explain the diff of a vr headset and one of those strap-phone-to-head stuff to my dad

I dunnoe how to ELI5 it

[modest moss]

I guess just hit youtube and watch reviews of things compatible with her phone

Really my perception is it's still a rich kids toy

[royal forge]

Same

[modest moss]

My kid has psvr and it's ok but there aren't tons of games

[royal forge]

Its for someone with a lotta disposable income

[dull garnet]

That's VR

[royal forge]

Im debatin gettin a switch for the family

[dull garnet]

Lol

[modest moss]

Idk how many decent games you'll find for android either

[royal forge]

Ring fit

Shit, i dont even know if they'd wanna play like.. AC or smthn

[modest moss]

Wii sports or whatever the switch thing is

Tennis and shit

[royal forge]

The labo is cool

But i think it missed the age range

Hmmm

Shame the switch doesnt do metflix or smthn

But then again, they have one of em TV boxes that has all the channels via internet

I joked that California gas prices followed me home. Bc after moving back to WI the gas prices here are the same as when I was in CA. Around $4.80-5.10/gal for 87 and like 5.20-5.30 for 91/93

[deep sapphire]

4.80!?

and I was bitching about 4.09

[odd sand]

I think you might be able to find some off-brand gas at a bit less than that but I don't care about those stations so

[potent arrow]

Bruh that shit rn is 2.10$/l here

they're still like $5.50-$6 for the cheap stuff around here

[odd sand]

Yeah I know they went up in CA obviously if the prices are the same in WI. It's just ironic my monthly expenses now are pretty much the same as they were in CA when they theoretically should have been lower

time to test out the amd driver preview 🙏

[hard drift]

gas prices here are like 6 dollars for the car

[sly elk]

GG hopefully the income isn’t smaller

But I bet minimum wage is

Didn’t know about this one lol

[odd sand]

My income is the same, I just wish rent was cheaper for a decent place.

[sly elk]

Yeah afaik rent went out of control everywhere

[hard drift]

rent luckily here only went up like 70 dollars vs what we normally paid

[odd sand]

I wanted to do some trips this summer, but with the moving expenses I won't have everything paid down until the fall.

[hard drift]

but we pay a ton for rent

[odd sand]

Need to get an SO to help split rent rite lol

[hard drift]

lol

unless your SO doesn't work

welp right off the bat the driver has a bug but atleast it's not a bad bug, just annoying 😭

[buoyant falcon]

Hmm, some LED's on one of my RAM sticks went out.

[hard drift]

it's saving you 🙏

[buoyant falcon]

Eh?

[hard drift]

leds on ram 🤢

[buoyant falcon]

Wasn't exactly why I bought it, but it looks kinda weird with just one half of the stick lit up.

[hard drift]

time to disassemble the ram and kill the leds

[buoyant falcon]

I mean it did go with the LED's on the Corsair CPU liquid cooler and my MSI RTX 2080 Super.

Also not why I bought the, don't even think I knew about them to be honest...

[hard drift]

can't you turn them off from icue or whatever?

[buoyant falcon]

I'm not sure the liquid cooler can be messed with at all.

But I don't really care. I'm a campy guy, so it fits. 😛

[hard drift]

i mean as long as it's connected you should be able to

should show up in icue like this

[sly elk]

did your motherboard come with rgb software?

it and icue might be clashing for control of the ram rgb

try disabling it in one of them

[royal forge]

You CAN surgically fix it

[hard drift]

Everything is normal just gas pockets they think

[royal forge]

But

Risky, obv

[deep sapphire]

oh the hernia? yeah it has a lot of complication risks to it

its not that bad, I can manage it fine with PPIs

[hard drift]

I figured my kidneys were dying from the stupid shit i did as a kid lol

[deep sapphire]

the only annoying thing is if I dont take them I sometimes wake up with acid in my throat

super fun waking up choking on stomach acid

lemme tell ya

[hard drift]

Lol I’ve had acid reflux before, no thanks

Feels like you have to puke but you don’t and your mouth is salty/acidy tasting

Okay, I’m going to die now 🙏 good luck tech nerds lol

-gets out a box of hikoki tools-

[deep sapphire]

hikoki are pretty good

not very common here though

thats more OCE

[sly elk]

they made a skull edition

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

oooo

The TTI brands like MILWAUKEE, RYOBI and HOOVER are recognized worldwide for their deep heritage and cordless product platforms of superior quality, outstanding performance, safety, productivity and compelling innovation.

Founded in 1985 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in 1990, TTI is included in the Hang Seng Index as one of their constituent stocks.

they also own oreck, dirt devil, and rigid

[deep sapphire]

yep

Ryobi One+ has been catching up to Milwaukee in the home space too, for the price they seem like great tools

[sly elk]

lol I'm kinda surprised you like a chinese brand more than an american one, but if it's based on quality, I still understand. but i'm amused. 😄

[deep sapphire]

Milwaukee is american designed, TTI is just a parent holding company

DeWalt only makes the XR tools in the states but they are really slow to develop new product

the new Atomic shit is pretty good though

that new Atomic mid torque is nuts

tiny little tool and can do 450 lbs ft

[sly elk]

i should put one in a car

[deep sapphire]

I would see if they go on sale soon

the tool is pretty expensive off sale

but if you can find it with a battery kit for 150 bucks I'd snatch it up

I have the DCF840 and the thing is a little beast, super light

[odd sand]

I can just imagine what the wife thinks every time they look at that wall and all the dust it collects /s

Never heard of Hikoki before

[odd sand]

For what purpose? Did they gather that much stuff up from an entire shop as an auction lot?

[sly elk]

ahhh cleaned up my desk and stuff

when I was finished I noticed usb things weren't lighting up when i plugged htem in

then i realized my computer had been frozen for the past hour XD

it really doesn't like it when I turn off/unplug a monitor

[sly elk]

probably resale on ebay lol

[dull garnet]

Damn, that's fast

[umbral moss]

~2×3090.

poggin

worth $1000 honestly

2x 3090 performance is about 3x what my titan can do, so now we're getting into upgrade territory

[hard drift]

Moon making me unemployed 😭

[somber solstice]

2 times 3090 performance is kinda vague with Nvidia

it could just be 2x perf in 1080 but 1.5x on 1440p and 1.2x on 4K

[lost python]

Not like they say the exact same thing with literally every generation anyway..

[hard drift]

the best takeaway from the news is the powerdraw

[lost python]

https://www.techradar.com/news/nvidia-rtx-3090-is-allegedly-twice-as-powerful-as-the-rtx-2080-ti-according-to-leaked-nvidia-slides

[jaunty light]

999w

[lost python]

[jaunty light]

Ada lovelace is supposed to be the actual nextgen isnt it

[hard drift]

yeah but this was referring to rtx

which was more or less true

[jaunty light]

2k and 3k felt like the 2500k>3670k>4670k of the geeps

[lost python]

The articles existed for pure gaming performance too

They did the same with 2080 vs 1080 and 1080 vs 980 too

[hard drift]

yeah but i'm willing to bet it was just vague leaks to leakers

[hard drift]

hey now, the 1000 series was amazing :p

[lost python]

Every generation it's the same shit they say and it's not true at all

Good yes but not double as fast as the 980

[jaunty light]

700 to 900 to 1000 was good

[hard drift]

it was a pretty substantial leap

not 2x but still substantial enough

[somber solstice]

2x 3090 means power draw

[jaunty light]

Now we have the €1000 gpu which barely matches the non-Ti

[hard drift]

the leaked draw is 450

[somber solstice]

impossible

[hard drift]

no it's not

it's a node shrink and not samsung

it's entirely possible

[lost python]

450 stock and 700 for auto OC then

[jaunty light]

[Samsung will remember that.]

[hard drift]

samsung is one of the reasons for high power

[lost python]

With spikes into the 900s

Dual PSU cases will make a comeback

[somber solstice]

i will believe nvidia when they actually show it

💀

[hard drift]

i mean that should be anybody lol

[jaunty light]

Give us a 4070 that is a 3090 perf at 500usd thanks

[hard drift]

come back in 2 years lol

[jaunty light]

[somber solstice]

what's even the msrp for 3070

[jaunty light]

A lot

[hard drift]

500

[somber solstice]

3080 is like 600-800$

[hard drift]

700

[somber solstice]

you bet they gonna bump it by 100

[jaunty light]

If you can snag an FE, but realistically aib like probab 200more

[somber solstice]

[hard drift]

more than likely 🤷‍♂️

[jaunty light]

Just wait bro. Theyll bring back titan features in the high end cards.

[somber solstice]

although i am morre interested in cpu competition

AM5

[hard drift]

i'll wait until zen4+/zen5 before even thinking about am5

first gen from amd has been a shit show 🤢

[somber solstice]

anything to keep Intel from stagnating CPU again

[royal forge]

Oh wow leakers being full of shit as usual?

I remember i watched that uh "moores law os dead" guy when 3000 series was round the corner

I think he was full of shit as well, no?

I legit expect like, marginal improvement for n increase of market price

And they'll market ir as LHR limited again

[deep sapphire]

But I love Intel

[hard drift]

we'll see how intel does for this next gen 🙏

[umbral moss]

intel providing gains again?

keep dreaming y'all

they fired or drove out all the revolutionary engineers

[kindred brook]

is Adata memory

legit

or is it dogshit

wait for corsair?

[sharp star]

I can't say much about Adata

I've gone with Corsair, G.Skill, and Crucial over the years

[kindred brook]

kingston
or Gskill

Ah ok Thanks

[boreal surge]

Is there any difference aside from price + customer service?

[sharp star]

Not much unless you're into RAM overclocking

Crucial made some good RAM but they ended their memory business some time ago

[kindred brook]

Who makes the memory in the world

samsung

and there are 2 more right

everything else is just heatsinks?

• marketing

[jaunty light]

Omelet International

[umbral moss]

samsung, SK hynix, micron, infineon

although I think infineon gave up making nand?

[umbral moss]

I mean, why call them when you can play with high voltage yourself

maybe you die at the end and that's the real gift

being alive sucks

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire this you?

[deep sapphire]

haha

[umbral moss]

ugh, android logic

joining a wireless network with a hidden SSID, you have to explicitly tell android it's a hidden network or it refuses to connect

that was a fun two hours before finding out I had to pull down a toggle on the advanced settings

[wintry drift]

you have to explicitly tell android it's a hidden network
what difference does it make if you know the address of the gate you want to gain access to

?__?

but is it an unlisted residence

[umbral moss]

yeah, exactly

no other device on the network needs to be told it's going on a hidden network

apparently android does

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I thought the phone was defective because it kept bouncing my network even though I knew it worked

also, this pixel 6 is more slippery than a politician at a press conference

what in the hell, was this designed by a fucking gecko?

[sly elk]

LOL

i now wonder what the texture is like

is it matte or shiny?

[umbral moss]

it's shiny

some kind of ultra polished glass or aluminum, so you have exactly as much grip on it as an egg on a teflon pan

[sly elk]

usually I can hold shiny

[umbral moss]

whoosh

[sly elk]

ahhh

[umbral moss]

I put it on my leg so I could use both hands to type and it just yeeted itself onto the floor

absolutely no friction whatsoever

google engineers have figured out how to achieve true zero friction

[jaunty light]

its so u drop and break it

[wintry drift]

time to get one of those sticky circle things to hold your phone like an instagram model

[umbral moss]

there isn't an otterbox sarcophagus for this thing either

just one of those lame plastic clamshells with no bumper or internal padding

[wintry drift]

I use a moment case so cant help you there

[umbral moss]

now the arduous task of figuring out which apps I actually need to supply passwords for on my phone

[wintry drift]

discord and your cryto wallet

[umbral moss]

nah, I don't use discord on my phone

that's a sure way to get literally nothing done all day

[wintry drift]

as if

[sly elk]

w00t

[odd sand]

I guess its a security/safety feature to make sure someone doesn't have a hidden ssid somewhere random for say, "Starbucks" and really they're malicious

[umbral moss]

I mean, you'd have to know the SSID to connect in the first place

[sly elk]

I thought it was done forever

man the affinity software is on sale for a pretty good price atm

tempted to get the photo editor and the vector editor

huh you had it too? 😄

sweet lol

I'm probably going to have to move my stuff back to gmail but I will probably keep using outlook anyway

forgot how much I enjoyed using a desktop client

it looks prettyh much like the mac version as is

i might be using the preview lol

[umbral moss]

oh yeah, that's cool too, google gimped interfacing with outlook for mobile

poggin

[sly elk]

gg lol

yea I would stick with the outlook stuff because I like their clients better

but the ms username restriction stuff gets on my nerves

like the way they handle it is a royal mess

I think I understand why they do it that way

[sly elk]

well its like ALL cooler fan lol

[sick edge]

That is a rectangle, god dang.

Id get it. but i already overpaid for my 3080 soooo

You also miss the fact that most SFF people who use that kinda card would be watercooling it

Ew u dont use (personal ptef editor)?

You'd think they would just build like a vibration motor into the stems of the panels to shake the dust loose?

[sick edge]

I woulda thought wipers

[odd sand]

Or is it too jagged and it sticks like burrs?

[sick edge]

I dunno, I think they shouldsa shipped them with maintenance roids

[jaunty light]

It has an arm doesnt it..? Can't give it an implement to wipe the panels with?

[sly elk]

they have tried all of those things

[jaunty light]

Weak engineering

Make it go suck up some water and shoot it at the panels

[sick edge]

^

Drill for ice, melt ice, use ice to wash self.

But man, still weird they didn't implement good cleaners in 2018 yeah...

[sly elk]

https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/r8ugg/why_dont_the_mars_rovers_have_wipers_for_their/

[sick edge]

Hmm.. OK! Wut about, since these were panels that folded out anyway, a more robust folding system that can refold and unfold and in that process has an underside that can brush off a majoritu of the dust.
