Gotta love the use of quotes here:

it should be treated with "utmost importance."

In other words, ignore this message from our lawyers.

This whole message reads like “we don’t actually care but we have to say that we do 😉🙂‍↕️”

Shucks... Maybe if the college didn't rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷‍♂️

As a french, please don't give a penny worth of licence to Dassault Systèmes. They were founded by some of the worst ennemy of the people my country made.

Dassault absolutely deserves to rot in hell right next to Adobe

not sure about the majority of the software but I'd recommend FreeCad as an alt to Solidworks

  • I've heard they're about to hit their 1.0 release sometime in the near future

As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.

I'm not well versed in planes, is the cessna better or worse?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.

If it's on a students personal device, they can suck my hullabaloo

Then you will be barred ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Your system, your rules but their network and also their rules.

MAC randomization to the rescue!

My college used to tie your account to a maximum number of MAC addresses per year and you had to request more over the limit. I think it was like 4 or 5

MAC address cloning to the rescue!
