If you‘ve tried to fix your laser printers, you would have spotted several parts like rollers, brushes and a tiny mirror when you open it. Static electricity might seem to have limited use-cases, but laser printers make the most out of it. When you send a doc to print, your pc sends a signal to the printer. A laser beam is directed to a mirror and will trace out the words you typed. This mirror is reflected to a cylindrical drum which is coated with light-sensitive material (like selenium). The areas where the laser hits the drum become negatively charged. Next to the drum is the toner filled with powder. It has a brush and when it rolls on it, it becomes positively charged, and is attracted to the negatively traced out words on the drum. The paper then passes through, where the toner powdered words are transferred to it and finally will be heated up to melt the toner and bond to the paper - before it comes out of the printer. Man so many things going in there - I have never been able to do a major fix for a printer - this has become a painful use and throw situation.

Nostriga was fabulous. I love following all of Nostr conference from a distance but this time around the depth of tech sharing was at a diff league. Amazing job everybody ❤️ And gm @fiatjaf and get well soon @jack

When it comes to quantum mechanics, Heisenberg reminds you why uncertainty is inevitable, Schrödinger teaches you that change is constant and in all things, there is hope on reaching potentials when reality is built on probabilities rather than certainties. Every action or decision opens up a range of possibilities rather than being stuck with the fear of the unknown

There's something powerful in sticking together and pushing for change : 'The Baltic Way' was a human chain of 2 million people holding hands across Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia stretching over 600km as a peaceful protest in demanding for independence from the Soviets in August 1989. In March 1990, Lithuania and Estonia gained independence, and in May 1990, Latvia was free. A big shoutout to all at Nostriga Day 2 ❤️

Got tired of white ceiling so I gave it a greyish bluish coat (dusty blue palette) . Absolutely love it but never gonna paint ceilings again - I have zero Michelangelo skills. Why are ceilings these days always painted in white ?
