RyanF9 uses science to explain how Gore-Tex works and why you’re being ripped off.

This post is an ad.Also not really related to technology.
Now that you’ve taken down the “is an ad” claim, how is this not about technology? It deals with membranes which let air pass but not water (though Gore-Tex isn’t particularly good at it).
An ad for what. Certainly not Gore-Tex. Have you any idea how marketing works.
Yes the video contains a sponsored segment, like 99.9% of youtube videos. Or newspaper articles. Or any other kind of content on the internet.
…what I seriously wonder though is if people are downvoting this because it deals with technology that doesn’t contain electrons.
The way you’ve decided to post this has made it an ad, the first think you see is “Check out brandname and get thing”. Putting a videos sponsor as the post content is generally not recommended.
I’ve decided nothing that’s lemmy taking the beginning of youtube’s description and putting it there. FortNine (the youtube channel) put that there, because it’s their sponsor for the video. But fine I’ll manually add the stuff after to the post.
It’s more about patents and trademarks than technology, would be a good submission for a business community.
It’s a hell a lot more about technology as in PTFE vs. other membranes and actual experiments than random Musk posts. Or, currently at +362 on the sub frontpage, the white house threatening drug patents… not that drugs aren’t technology but I don’t see any pharmacology or chemistry in that article.
Oh this dude makes good motorcycle videos.
Another unfun fact (dunno if it’s mentioned in the video) is that Teflon is a PFAS that is currently in our environment and ground water in harmful amounts, is definitely giving us cancer, and can’t be easily extracted or broken down :(
I hope we can go back to waxed coats and boots or something, soon.
edit:// the video does mention it. Cool video
Fjällräven still uses waxed stuff. Actually not even that expensive though somehow I think if I took my half as expensive Blåkläder pants and applied wax they’d be just as good, ultimately it’s a moderately heavy-weight polyester/cotton fabric, nothing too special.
Wow! Do you say?
I’ve said this for years and everyone tells me I’m using it wrong, or buying knock-off brands.
No, it doesn’t work as advertised.
Yea, it’s good for sweat levels of moisture, but boots? Forget it.
