    > I don't think it has the ability to select arbitrary edges and apply such features (I could be wrong). That's actually how it works. Chamfers and fillets are handled by OpenCasca…

    None, at least not deliberately. Previous attempts at vibe-coded contributions have been politely rejected. Source: I am one of the contributors.

    I've seen commercial products that use socketed devboards inside. If anything, it's just an indication that the hobbyist and professional spaces are slowly converging.

    Please be aware that this is not a first-party open source release of a previously secret internal spec/implementation, but rather the result of an impressive reverse-engineering e…

    There is, actually, but in a different context. The `adb sideload` command allows you to boot a device from an image without flashing it.

    For the METR rating (first half of the article), it is indeed 50% success rate at completing the task. The win rate only applies to the GDPval rating (second half of the article).

    It's because the default "analog output" PWM mode of a microcontroller will only give a rough approximation of the signal that the servo actually requires. For a servo, the duty cy…

    There have never been any grid-scale nuclear power plants in the state of Berlin. I don't see how this statement relates to the prior discussion in any way other than vague geograp…

    In this specific case, they started digging through a HDD image that someone else pulled. They're still trying to get hold of an actual Redbox machine to investigate the hardware a…

    Would it be possible (in theory) to build a receiver on an embedded platform, for instance an audio-only ESP32 speaker, or is there something in the protocol that requires a more p…

    Fun fact: 400V 3-phase and 3x 230V are the very same thing. You'll get 230V AC between Neutral and each of the three phases, but the AC voltage between two of the phases will actua…

    You can also swap primary and secondary clicks (at least in the Android version), which makes it the fastest on touchscreens as well.

    This was one of the first games I installed on my very first Android phone, the Motorola Milestone. 15 years later, I'm still playing it nearly every day. I'm a bit disappointed th…

    I have to vehemently disagree with you here - the Android version is the main reason why I needed to set a "no phone in the bedroom" rule for myself.

    Wait, so no one has been looking at the RUM data for three entire months? Why has it been there in the first place then?

    For inkjet technology, it's the print head. Fundamentally, an inkjet printer works similar to a plotter, laser engraver, FDM 3D printer, or CNC router: There's a mechanism that acc…

    Please don't give them ideas. OTOH, I've already stopped posting and commenting and will only resume once they change their stance on moderation tools and third-party access. If ol…

    I heard from a mod of a large sub that old.reddit is not going anywhere - apparently all of the admin tools are built on old.reddit, so shutting it down would not be feasible witho…

    Your calculation is way off. Getting 8kWh a day from a single 400Wp panel would already require 20 hours of operation at theoretical peak power, so under real-life conditions you c…

    Those estimates are unrealistic regardless of any potential degrowth scenario. You'll run out of drivers and/or roads way before the 100 year mark.

    This also implies that a future generation social protocol with three "@" symbols will only take 7.5 years to become mainstream.

    As others said, conventional EVSEs are just spiced-up power switches, so there's not much to gain from SiC. It does however open up a pathway to smaller / cheaper / more efficient …
