    Whenever I use TurboCAD it has all the feature check boxes and they seem to function reasonably well. It just feels like they invested a ton of time, research and money into figuri…

    I have an XO-1 in my closet and the display was really the only thing I loved about that laptop. I wish I had the knowledge to create a display driver for it to hook it up to a ras…

    If you are trying to check what OS you are running wouldn't system-type be better? (eq system-type 'darwin) You could be running X on multiple different systems. Although I checked…

    I was going to point to the WineHQ AppDB also but the person most active in updating the Fusion360 entry seems to be working on this. https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-3…

    Well CNC technology has come a long way. The 5-axis machine we purchased was actually cheaper in absolute $ than the 20 year old 3-axis machine we were replacing it with. But yes v…

    I don't know anything about spiral staircases or masonry I build commercial furniture offices, libraries, courtrooms, etc. Wondering how finances come out ahead is silly. Take for …

    Except you have no way of knowing if that will be the case ahead of time. Unless the first thing you do after enabling 2FA is to social engineer a password reset for your account? …

    If someone can exploit your SMS, it's possible they can use that to social engineer their way into a password resets with services. (I forgot may password but I still have my phone…

    Well a kindle is actually $110 when it's not ad supported and boox is selling a comparable device for $185. So very similarly priced. I would suspect the boox actually has more cap…

    The gantry is enclosed, it's not possible to get close to the router unless you are doing something really... really wrong. This is the machine I was running like 20 minutes before…

    Laser fencing is the worst, pressure mats are approximately 1000x better. Our machine with the laser fence is always stopping for no reason because there was some dust. I just cut …

    That is way better. Annoying that it wasn't in the first few search results for me.

    https://sharpkeys.en.softonic.com/ looks so scammy, and I have ublock turned on... I can only imagine how it must look without that. I'm sure it's fine but why do all windows tool …

    This comment made me curious about school shootings in 2020 considering that many schools were closed a lot of the time. First result for my search was https://www.edweek.org/leade…

    To be fair installing synapse is fairly easy. Media uploads and e2e should "just work". When I recently changed the VPS I was running it on I set up synapse from scratch in about 1…
