Obviously people are thinking a lot harder than you. Why do you think you are the first person to realize that the democratic left is actually the rest of the world's far right? Everyone figured that out when they were fucking twelve, so stop believing you are some enlightened philosophical or some shit.

While we here, everyone else has also already realized that third party votes accomplish nothing in the current state of politics. Throw your vote wherever you want, but no party besides rep and dem is getting an electoral so thanks for wasting it. Unless we are all willing to get up, and force the hand of change, that is the reality we all have to live in. Well maybe if you caught up with everyone else you would know that.

Yeah it was pretty silly, I for some reason blanked on the fact that boot is an important flag. Thankfully booting the live media worked

Oh yeah, didn't think about trying with a live media. Will do that

 

I created a second partition on my main drove to install steam games, that way they persist in case I want to reinstall Linux or access from a portable windows install, but wanted it to mount on boot.

In partition manager, for some dumb reason, I presumed that flagging it as 'boot' would mean just that.

Obviously this was wrong, and now I can't unflag the drive for some reason. It says it applies the changes but just leaves it flagged.

Those who do best in office positions are the ones that are particularly skilled at making it seem like they are busy and productive. Ie staying late, or getting in early

 

This is probably a wildly niche situation, but I learned about OSU!droid and was interested in trying it with my galaxy tab s6 lite, figuring the s pen would be a pretty perfect way to play.

The only problem is that the main way to hit bursts and streams is to aim at the objects with one hand and tap the side of the screen with your offhand, but the s pen disables touch input while close to the screen.

I did try just connecting my keyboard with a dongle and setting up a key map, but the game doesn't let you launch with it enabled for competitive reasons.

This has severance vibes

 

I have been loving Native Alpha. Being able to use web versions of apps and not be forced to hand over absurd privacy violating permissions is awesome. My only problem is it appears to run straight off of Chrome's web engine, and I would rather use Firefox. In large part because of extensions/addons.

Dang that is unfortunate, I will have to figure another way about it

 

I am trying to design a simple case for a laptop motherboard, and thought to get around the distortion happening with my pictures by taking a 3d scan of it with Kiri Engine.

Everything looks fine in the preview of it and everything, but when I import the OBJ into FreeCAD it is just grey and I can't distinguish the mounting holes from the rest of the board.

Thanks in advance

Oh wow, this is so cool!

I will take a look at this later and see if I can take inspiration from the project as a whole

Normally I would just go out and grab one as I have done it a bit before, and I know how useful they are, I am just a bit strapped for cash at the moment. (College student who didn't manage to grab a job for summer :/)

Maybe I will make a temp solution and then make something more proper later on.

 

Hello!

So I decided, as a way to improve my cad skills, that I would take an old laptop of mine and design a case around the motherboard and use it as a micro PC in my work area. I have nearly all of it designed, just shy of the power button.

On account of not having a sautering iron, I would rather avoid sautering a button on and was trying to go a more analogue approach by printing a button into the case that could maybe use a compliant mechanism to press in and come back out, but I am very uncertain how to go about it.

Any help appreciated

I am not certain, I have used FreeCAD tutorials for Onsdel to great success.

I think what I do is just listen to the tool name they reference, and then just look where I assume it would be to find it, rather than trying to find tools in the same places as them

Personally I love openSCAD, but it is probably really unintuitive to someone without programming experience and even then has it's own limitations.

FreeCAD is in a weird position ATM, it is actually really good! ...just not in the stable release... The Dev version is significantly more palatable, and they even went on a feature freeze to really push through with their major 1.0 release.

For now though Onsdel (Sort of a fork of FreeCAD packaged with Dev release and UI improvements) has worked really well for me thus far!

I have genuinely thought this for years.

I originally thought that generational bullshit is stupid and, without any other influence, each generation is really the same as the last and the changes only really happen within the society itself. So I always thought it was stupid when people would say, "X generation is the dumbest!"

But then I realized that Boomers were hit with both massively spread lead poisoning and swaths of radiation through especially Midwest America throughout their developmental periods that it is fair enough to say that, should there be such thing as the "Dumbest Generation," it would likely be the Boomers

Yeah that honestly makes much more sense lol

 

I started a print today as per usual and I randomly thought of something and am uncertain if it may already be a thing.

Independent perimeter layer height. Or basically, you take the set layer height, say 0.3, divide it by a user selected amount, in this case by two, and print some number of the outermost perimeters at that height until it reaches the set layer height. In this example it would print two outer perimeters at 0.15 layer height in two layers, and then proceed with the rest of the layer.

I thought this may be what variable layer height does, but it seems to vary the height of the whole layer in different regions. If there is anything like this that would be neat

 

I upgraded to this guy from the neo v2, and he is a beast in comparison. There isn't a premade profile on prusa for it though, so I made one using the neo as a base. Currently have the speed set to 150 mm/s and 1800 mm/s accel but was wondering what kind of speeds y'all are getting while still having consistent quality

 

I wanted to try out the FreeCAD beta/nightly builds, and found on the website that you could get it from the flathub beta repo.

After installing though, it is just the same exact app? Did I do something wrong?
