    I can't believe how affordable Hetzner is. I just rented a bare metal 48 core AMD EPYC 9454P with 256 GB of ram and two 2 TB NVME ssds for $200/month (or $0.37 per hour). Its hard …

    I'm in a similar boat. A UK bank thinks I'm one of their customers (someone with a similar name). The reply address is no-reply@ and I'm not about to call a foreign bank.

    I use fusion 360 several times a week, but I'm not quite able to follow what you said. Can you provide an example or a link to where they announced this feature?
