I disagree about this being a good solution. USB-C is not meant to take the strain of being used as an audio port when being used in the go so there is risk of damaging the port while a headphone jack is more stable and allows the plug to rotate. Plus I don’t want to have a dingle I can forget when in a rush.
I’ve used Vivaldi for a long time before switching to Floorp (based on Firefox) and recently back to Vivaldi.
Pros:
Vivaldi is fast with lots of features.
I like how it works much more than other browsers (e. g. Sidebar tabs, pinned tabs can’t be closed)
Cons:
Still built on chromium.
They have ways to customize the address bar autocomplete, but screwed up the implementation so every option doesn’t work the way I want it to.
If you are running business critical applications on Windows 10 that is a problem. Windows 10 is only meant for end user machines. Other services should be running on OS’s that are meant for the application such as Windows Server or server versions of Linux distros running LTS kernels.
Not to mention, near every piece of software I’ve been involved with at work has required specific versions of Windows Server and whatever database it uses, if you want to upgrade the software you use, then upgrading the OS is part of the task.
This is definitely a problem in sectors that are boom/bust. You have senior engineers ready to retire and nobody is ready to move up into their positions because there just aren’t any intermediate level engineers in the industry.
I’m a big fan of the manta “Make your designs as simple as possible and no simpler”. Pointless complexity drives me nuts, but others take it too far and remove functionality by making things too minimal. It doesn’t help that a lot of businesses optimize for people who make changes, so the positive feedback loop is change for the sake of change rather than improving the product.
maybe, just maybe if we didn’t move the same settings 1-2 layers deeper behind some UI bullshit we wouldn’t have to look for it.
This trend pisses me off so much. Companies need to learn that for settings I’m likely to have to change they need to minimize the number of actions to change it. But people in all these companies find the need to reorganize things to make it seem like they are accomplishing something.
I have a feeling that in many cases people’s work is being abused.
Yeah, a couple years ago I saw a stand at a flea market selling 3D prints. Took me all of 2 minutes to find the original at home with a non-commercial license.
It is all rectangular items around it, wouldn’t be difficult to measure out the environment and route the design around it. Good CAD tools have cable routing tools that can assist with this as well.
Run a temp tower if you are worried about it, but I run all PETG at 265 on my P1S. 255 will tear like you show and print matte which means it isn’t properly melted.
Wrong way to adjust, try printing at 265 and keep the part fan on ( aux fan off).
That the default petg profile? Bump up your temperature by 10C and try again. Their PETG profile is too cold for the flow rate.
0.2mm flatness is very flat for a 3D Printer bed, I don’t even know if I achieved that with the Nylock mod on my old Prusa. This simply looks like a bed adhesion problem, clean your bed well with dish soap and water and then rinse well and make sure you don’t toch the surface. Check the first layer height and bed temp as well.
Yeah I recently started switching from SolidWorks to Creo in a professional setting, it is amazing how slow and clunky SolidWorks feels in comparison. The downside is that Creo doesn’t hold your hand at all so you better know what you are doing.
Coming from that side, I have a hard time with the free/inexpensive options available for makers, they just don’t work nearly as well.
This is pretty minor on the scale of enshittification that it happening in pretty much every tech product, but stuff like this is just an example of features being added so someone at the company can point to “improving” the product (so they can point to it during raise or promotion time), because it is safer for kids ignoring that it degrades user experience for a large portion of the customer base.
Unfortunately we’ve lost our attitude that parents should actually parent and supervise their children. So instead they force everyone to deal with it.
This isn’t new though, I landed after a long flight last year and had a notification asking me to confirm rebooking to another flight because mine was delayed.
Turns out that no the flight wasn’t delayed and luckily I mentioned it when dropping my bag because a person had to sort it out for me and rebooked me back on my original flight that was on time. So now I don’t trust the technology at all.
Nope, I’ve long worked in designing for North American electronics manufacturing, it’s still manual. We just outsource as many of those sub assemblies as possible to cheaper countries and design things with as few fasteners as possible.
That really is the least of the worries, there just isn’t the manufacturing infrastructure for all the raw material and individual parts, manufacturing those parts just isn’t feasible to do at a reasonable cost or schedule outside of Asia. China is still popular not due to cost, they are no longer cheapest, but because they have the infrastructure in place.
Some crappy product manager found some agreeable “tech enthusiasts” and/or worded their research questions in such a way that made it seem like this would be a net positive to the sales/profit of the product.
The engineers who had to design this terrible product were probably making jokes about it all the time.
I don’t see how this could be worse than the current Gmail search. I have to use the sync tool to Outlook for my work email because outlook’s search is so much better.
Vivaldi if you really need a Chromium based browser.
How is a large language model going to apply to a visual inspection?
This is probably a CNN trained to identify different types of damage. Similar to how your phone identifies faces.
