  • Honestly, with a fresh-water rinse I could easily see that being beneficial.

    Consider:

    1. particle filters (or other cleaning steps)
    2. custom water treatment like a bath
    3. not just water, but recirculated heat as well
    4. better possible water pressure (weak well pump), heat control

    Maybe even the type of thing that could run off of solar or backup power for a planned shower.

    Though yeah, I guess a bath (with a quick shower after) probably is a whole lot cheaper and easier to (plumb rather than) engineer. Plastic tubs have their own grossness, though.

    I also imagine this fitting more as some sci-fi thing, not sure how well it’d be easy to manage water in space, though. My first thought would be people annoyed with having to vacuum up droplets, get blasted with air, or being stuck in a drying room as a safety procedure. And some sci-fi vat bath might still make more sense.

    Honestly, if you fear the EUC strawman (for pedestrians) and not the giant 3000lb+ metal boxes that can go 100mph+ standard (for decades) that’s a weird hill to live on. The momentum isn’t even comparable.

    Just about anything around you is going to provide some protection from a stray EUC rider (a wooden fence, a bus shelter, a cemented mailbox), a car can barrel through a fucking brick wall. Yeah, EUC riders are probably more in-danger but they also probably are going to pass out on the pavement rather than on their accelerator. I’m guessing you’ll say some cars fix that (maybe if the surveillance tech is working right), but yeah not that used car they’re actually in because cars are expensive.

    Also from what I see a medium-weight EUC is 60lbs and heavy is 80lbs, so I imagine a pedestrian crash with one would mostly result in leg/foot breaks. Assuming standing adult and no sweet jumps.








  • Today, stuff gets exported in 4k and that’s it. No need for anything more.

    I don’t think it’s as ubiquitous as you think. 1080p is pretty much standard (aside from old videos), 4K is still high-end and most uploading to that on YT are probably more tech-leaning channels who actually do use it. I even see new stuff from TV corps that’s still only 1080p.

    4K if you’re using a full-raster workflow is taxing at every step. Display, CPU/GPU (for software stability, filters/effects), RAM and storage, internet upload speed, also camera (and fast storage there too) where relevant. Also backups, and maybe even higher-res workflow to allow room to crop/re-frame if needed.

    I imagine it must be a disappointment to actually buy a 4K monitor for content viewing, stuck watching 1080p on new videos because the creators can’t afford that workflow or just don’t care. Even stuff that is 4K might have issues with encoding quality due to cost-cutting (or requires higher subscription cost).

    8K is a thing too (but even more impractical), so the problem is repeated there too.

    So yeah, I would say it is a meaningful difference that vector doesn’t have this problem.
