You can engrave glass with a laser diode, only catch is that you have to paint it first. I got some $2 washable acrylic paint from a craft shop and it worked great. And easily washed off afterwards.

Not sure if that can be replicated for metal though, but im definitely curious to try now.

    Also, in theory they invest the money, which means that they have more money to pay out.

    Unfortunately, with no regulation and oversight, they can also just not pay out at all. Perhaps the US should try regulating its capitalism just q bit :S

    I have a two trees tts-55pro, its cheaper, but no enclosure.

    I would strongly recommend not relying on the enclosure anyway though, and make sure the glasses are actually capable.

    I tested my glasses by putting them between the laser and a sheet of paper, and ran the laser at full power. If the paper is clean, its a good sign. Does mean my glasses have a big burn on the lens in front of my pupil though :D

    I start my jobs and get as far away as possible, just to be safe.

    I have a two trees tts-55 pro laser. Much cheaper, much less safe.

    What are you planning on using the laser for?

    My experience so far has been:

    • software ecosystem is terrible. Expensive paid options, poorly maintained free options. I use LaserWeb, but its basically abandoned.

    • bigger is better. The more cutting space you have the better

    At best, they were a money laundering/ponzi scheme. The value cratered, and now we don't hear about them anymore.

    The blockchain (think notepad, with non erasable sharpie) had an entry that would link that item to you. You could sell it to someone by writing their name below yours. It didnt tangibly transfer anything though, and the items were all very easy to duplicate, so ownership meant nothing.

    This is definitely not the most secure messaging app.

    This vibe coded slop by someone who doesnt know what they are doing, and doesnt understand the basics of security.

    Don't fall for it.

    Xoron: Please, have some humility. There is no problem asking for feedback, but you need to take that feedback on board, and you need to stop pretending this project is anything other than a learning experience. Maybe if you listen to feedback and learn from it, your next version might be passable, but you are years of learning away from that point.
