The tech very much has existed for a few years now, but not on a home setting. I don't know about this product because as you said there's very little info, but as professional and industrial uv printers go the consumables would be the uv-curable ink (which is some nasty shit) and the parts that get in contact with it–printheads, caps, wipers, dampers, filters, pumps... not every printer has all of these but all will have some way of delivering the ink to and to clean the printhead(s). They have white and usually varnish inks, and they chug these two while the colour layer is similar to that of a regular inkjet printer. They also waste ink on the cleaning (that you'll do a lot) and this one seem to include a tank or cartridge for fluid for auto-flushing. Also electric and electronic components degrade and fail as well. None of those come cheap, uv lamps are pretty pricy too but last long (I don't know about this one, it seems pretty small. The ones I've seen are more robust with radiators and fans, the cheapest of which costs more by itself than this whole machine) if you take care of them.

The latter. Think an inkjet printer with uv-curable ink, and instead of paper it prints on anything you can put on its bed. They come with white ink, and usually varnish. You can make some relief with more quantity/layers of white and/or varnish. In industrial/professional shops is rare to see these '3d' (also referred as 2.5d) effects, I only know one that prints high-end-ish pieces (for a big markup I guess) and one that specializes in prints for blind people so they use it for putting braille in lots of things, mainly for the time it takes (and I'm talking about professional machines) so most people do flat prints that are also pretty cool.

Absolutely not? Like, we have real og facists™️ (not gatekeeping 'it's not fascisim if it doesn't come from the Fascia region in Italy, it's just sparkling authoritarianism', just saying that there's a continuity and fascist traditional over here) and they have an important presence in our politics since forever.

Aye but light, being a wave, doesn't travel at the same speed in every medium. In a high refractive index media the wavelengths of visible light would be shorter. Would this not reduce the effect of diffraction on them for normal-sized pupils?

What if the refractive index of elvish eyes were somehow absurdly high? Paired with a very high resolution and sensitivity retina of course.

Math's off. You would move 116 m at 83 m/s, but since you are decelerating (accelerating in the opposite direction of your velocity really) it would be half of that, wouldn't it (honest question I'm already in bed and quite sleepy so my math can be off too)?

Lol 3.5 years! The damage done in just these three months would take decades to fix. I think it's very likely that America will never recover from four years of Trump.

I can consider acceptable for the kettles to be connected to the internet if, and only if, they answer always with a 418 status code.

Yeah that's why Christian's don't do animal sacrifices, but the Ten Commandments are still valid, are they not? So is the rest of god's magic book, a book that 'Christians' tend to not follow when they don't feel like it. Not a Christian btw, just pointing out the hypocrisy of saying you have the word of god written and the don't even RTFM.

'Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.' Jesus F. Christ

You were raised in blasphemy then.

The concept of a smart ring shouldn't be patentable, and maybe it isn't im not sure. IP laws are really broken, all laws are but I think IP even more so.

So an n-dash? Which is arguably indistinguishable from a hyphen unless you put them together, so most people just use hyphens. Or another dash-like character in between?

I mean to each their own, if you like it you like it. I'm not saying your way is bad or worse, I'm just a nerd who also likes to use punctuation in a peculiar and personal way. Just to be clear that this is a light-hearted conversation and not a 'yOu aRE WroNg!' kinda thing. :)
