#Canon Prepares Nanoimprint Lithography Tool To Challenge EUV Scanners
The device uses nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology as an alternative to #photolithography, and can theoretically challenge extreme ultraviolet (#EUV) and deep ultraviolet (#DUV) #lithography in resolution. Canon says it is suitable for 5nm process technologies. That would be in line with capabilities of #ASML's Twinscan NXE:3400C EUV lithography scanners with a 0.33 numerical aperture (NA) optics

@djsundog and I are launching a project to build federated, open source, #bandcamp alternative.

We're building this because we need it. We're doing it ourselves because it will become a part of the larger media production and distribution ecosystem we have planned.

We welcome other open source projects, and we might even contribute to a few of them, but for the next several months, this is our full time gig.

Long term vision: https://mountaintown.technology/

Repo: https://code.communitymedia.network/sundog/aural_isle

How and why: https://ajroach42.com/the-uncertain-future-of-bandcamp/

Whether you even like #coffee or not, the segment of this video (James Hoffmann) where he goes through the "apps" that come with these overpriced "smart scales" is genuinely infotaining:

Frankly, it mirrors lots of the experiences I've had with tracking/logging/reporting/device-connectivity apps, including the open-source ones, for a long time: incomprehensible UIs, meaningless features, broken navigation, missing basics. All the good stuff. 10 min of right-to-the-point.

📢Under the guise of security challenges, France is paving the way to mass video surveillance powered by AI. This is a worrying move which will compromise our fundamental rights. Sign our petition calling for an outright rejection to use such technologies.
