For me, that’s a solid “Aww HELL no”.

Setting up a new Windows machine for an in-law and wow. Who puts up with Windows these days? Damn.

Specifically the X1 series…

I bought some EcoFlow gear a while ago, and that causes some brand inertia… BUT- I gotta say the Anker Solix gear is impressive as hell.

@Alfred if I have a three sided pyramid with sides that are 50 units, how tall does it need to be for a 90 degree point at the top?

@Albert if I have a three sided pyramid, where the base sides are 50 units long, how tall does it need to be for the point to be 90 degrees?

There just HAS to be a way to calculate this, right?

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure I have the best type of one way mirror film.
