There was a camera kinda like that on each seat back on my recent transpacific flight. Creepy to sit behind that for 17 hours.

Camera covering tape needs to become an essential EDC item.

The United Airlines who, coincidentally, are planning to start showing personalised ads on seatback screens?

Looks a lot like my 3d scanner / Like an Xbox Kinect / Apple Face ID. On a ticket machine That’s just creepy.

mojofrododojo ,

yep, structured images are projected, then left right cameras capture images, the device compares the differences in each image and can use that to build a rough 3d model of the face. I strongly suspect these are used to make sure people aren’t using printed images to spoof the verification - but never put it past the state to horde data and hoover up everything they can.

We can’t help but have our gast flabbered every time we se these abstruse measurements

Cryophilia ,

Europeans when confronted with a fraction: 🤯

Gladaed ,

That’s a mixed fraction in a foreign units System instead of a number. (Screw sizes are integers here) Edit: we also use 1 1/3 instead of 1-1/3 in germany, making your way of writing it down more difficult to read.

hydrospanner ,

Both are used and acceptable ways to write it in the US.

Also, are your screw size integers based on any units at all? If so it’s just another metric vs standard argument, and if not, it’s even less intuitive than even inches, because it’s just a case where one just needs to already know and be familiar with that sizing system, like shoe sizes or something.

StaySquared , in my job has medicine that wakes you up if you've fainted

That’s cool… I have a whole bottle (smelling salts) of it in powder form in case I need to pop off a personal record in one of my exercises.

yokonzo OP ,

Plastic screws?
What coating is it?

Voyajer ,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a ceramic coating

Zipitydew ,

Could also be an epoxy coating from type I’ve used a couple times.

DannyBoy ,

Metal deck screws with a coating so they don’t rust. They’re the colour of pressure treated lumber.

ZagamTheVile , in Just a random 3" screw in a freshly opened box of 1-5/8"

I know how frustrating this is as it’s happend to me too. But at least it wasn’t a 1 5/8" mixed in a box of 1 1/4". I’ve seen that too. In the worst way possible way.

ChihuahuaOfDoom OP ,

I’ve had one screw too long when attaching hinges and ran it through the side of a box I had just finished, was very disappointed.

ZagamTheVile ,

Yup. Cabinet installation here. Blew right through one into the other. Wouldn’t have been so bad but the one had glass doors.

ChihuahuaOfDoom OP ,

Ouch
