The purpose of windows: for looking through, not at.
Mirrors too?
Honestly a pretty impressive piece of technology. It seems so obvious in modern day but bring someone from the late 1700s to modern day and they would be astounded how every single person, poor or rich, have crystal clear glass windows in their homes, when they were using animal skins and wooden shutters. It was barely a century ago that we had the modern window we all take for granted.
Float glass was a hell of an invention. It made it super easy to manufacture huge glass panes for cheap, and is still the most widespread method for making windows.
The one invention that lets people see through walls!
“Man who live in glass house, change in basement.”
Unless man bought glass house on purpose because he has fetish.
Stained glass windows are for looking at and some are quite lovely.
I use Windows to make my computer run like shit
Through becomes at with the right scenery.
Practical Engineering had a great video about this recently. (Also on YouTube)
Nah, 'man. Windows are for the views.
Mirrors are for indirectly looking at things.
TranslucentTB is really looking sharp tbh. Haven’t found anything on linux that can compare. Then again, I haven’t really been looking.
I hate shopping for mirrors. You can never find a new one. They’re all used, you can tell as soon as you look at them.
The closest I’ve seen is Schroedenger…supposedly. But like half the time you get an empty box.
