Why are 95% of the threads on /g/ about computers instead of something new or something old?

3D printers, Maglev trains, Gas-turbines, Cold fusion, Zero-point energy, Electromagnetic devices, Anti-gravity propulsion, just anything other than computers or the false-god of AI.

At this rate humans will be too stupid to invent anything truly amazing.

I came here and only found the watch thread amusing.

IDK but before they swap /g/ to /computers/ they would swap /lgbt/ to /tttt/ you know?
Big mistake thinking I'd get to jerk it to lesbo drama there because all the lesbians have cocks for some reason.

Most people are NPCs, including on 4chan. Upwards of 90%. NPCs can only conceive of topical matters, their minds are confined strictly to the relative field. They don't know anything and don't care to. They simply follow trends and do what everyone else is doing.

seems that way. people are so fixated on space travel, no interest in exploring the sea floor.

We all have computers and anyone can program them with no extra costs.
Nobody has a house so nobody can play with fusion even if they had the money (unlikely) and were willing to risk it, for example.
3d printers are passe by now and again, far too expensive for the vast majority of hobbyists, even if they had the space to put one somewhere.

>>109465313
half the things you listed are just pure science fiction and more suited to /tv/ or /x/
the rest you're better off in /sci/
>>
>>109465313
Why did you make another thread about computers instead of posting something you wanted to see? You’re part of the problem you came here to bitch about.
>>
>>109465515
Because the sea floor is way scarier than space. You have to wear a suit outside otherwise you die.

chinese 3d printer manufacturers are racing to figure out toolchanging systems for multi-color and multi-material and even multi-nozzle size printing and deliver them at affordable prices.

>>109465313
There's a whole board for transportation tech and it's dead as fuck. train threads in particular are always full of notjustbikes retards who don't understand basic math, physics, geography, or anything really and certainly aren't capable of discussing technology competently.

Fire is widely held to be the first technology.
Why is that?
Are you able to define what technology is?

I have often wondered to myself about the possibility of 3D printers that:
Use two filaments kept separate and only mixed together at print time which then react and harden sort of like JB Weld.
Or a filament which has specific extrude temp below cure temp, but then after printing the widget is baked in an kiln at a way higher temp for final cure.

I like these kind of posts that identify some technology that is in development to research and follow, or maybe go try to work at the company.

OP really needs to take a break from his computer, ironically

3D printers sound interesting but I haven;t had a reason to get one

>>109465313
Because all of those things fit better either on >>>/diy/ or >>>/sci/ (I assume, I haven't been to that shit board in like a decade or something). Well, and >>>/x/ or >>>/biz/ for things like zero point energy and cold fusion.

if your goal is convenience

neither of the mentioned come close to the convenience of having a robot

that and the fact that all the things you mention require money to buy the parts

and what stands between you and the money is usually something you cannot beat with just intellectual talent

so yeah, we have all the things you mentioned but if they come at the cost of not having commercial robots, then youre supporting decay

>>109469682
I see so what you are saying is that the description
>This board is for the discussion of technology and related topics.
Is too broad and innaccurate and should be updated to
>This board is for the discussion of technologies that consist in typing and staring at visual displays

Is that correct?

>if your goal is convenience
convenience is not my goal
I suppose my goal is a forum where interesting technology is discussed and/or casually mentioned so that I am aware of it and can go research and learn some more about it.
I would also like to see some blueprints or designs of interesting technology.

The preface of "Unrestricted Warfare" by Qiao Liang & Wang Xiangsui explains it well.
