You cannot compare the raw thermal conductivity of a fluid like air (that pulls heat via convection) to a solid material like plastic (that pulls heat via conduction). Especially w…

> But you can definitely get printers to dump a blob of filament out without worrying about cooling problems Yes, but we're not talking about dumping a blob of filament. We're talk…

So I'm pretty skeptical about this as well (see my other comment on this), but the particular failure mode you're discussing is not what's happening in reality. > Anyone who has ev…

I've seen this technique a lot, but mostly as a post-processing technique where resin, fiber, or some other type of plastic is injected into the channels after printing is complete…

> Automatic coding systems have way too much economic value to be considered a "fad". Which is why they very carefully worded it more as 'LLMs in their current form', twice.

Don't Look Up is about ignoring expert consensus on a clear threat, not about rejecting benefits out of fear. For the analogy to land, you'd need overwhelming evidence that these d…

The sharp edges are exclusively an issue with the Framework 16 due to the spacers that allow you to change the alignment of the trackpad. It's definitely been one of my main annoya…

Damn, I apparently missed the memo that the backend service for Mozilla Monitor was shady while I used it. Are there any actual services like this that work properly? I've noticed …

Acerola recently made a video about how Silk Song has banding with dark colors due to poor dithering (and how to fix it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au9pce-xg5s Highly recomme…

Looks more like an ad for your app though... Which for some reason collects tons of data unrelated to health, like messages, location data, and photos/videos/files?

You think that's bad? I had my own Google Workspace account with Google Domains and then foolishly linked my Google Fi cellphone to it. Trying to get that stuff resolved was such a…

> The internal pull-downs don't work. They don't work at all? How the heck did something that important get past testing? Guess I'm not moving on from the RP2040 anytime soon...

I just got a chance to see this video now. Thank you for sharing this with me. This is the first time I've seen the `rnote` app on an E-ink device. I'm quite surprised in how funct…

I think there may be a misunderstanding of my point. The fact that GNOME works well on typical tablets isn't really relevant here. The PineNote is an E-ink device with very specifi…

I've been interested in the progress of the PineNote since the reMarkable company decided to put certain advertised features behind a subscription paywall. Does anyone have any inf…

But there's a GIF in the very first section of the README showing a bunch of different effects. What else is it missing?

Wow, that's some convenient timing. That makes pretty much the sole reason I wouldn't recommend FreeCAD irrelevant.

FreeCAD has improved immensely over the past 2-3 years in terms of stability and features. A decade ago it was not uncommon for me to experience crashes from it randomly losing its…
