Lens distortion or something idk.

Can you explain what the weekly limit is about? I know very little about scuba.

Not at all. I’ve shoveled snow once in the last five years and didn’t enjoy it one bit.

I grew up in WI and have had enough of winters for a lifetime.

I had a lot of professors who put most of the grade weight on large projects. It made for a very heavy workload, but projects/ papers give a much better picture of how capable someone is of not only reciting knowledge, but also applying it.

I’ve experienced some of what you describe, but it works for the most part. I just looked through my blocked communities list and I haven’t seen anything from them in a while.

Maybe it puts me at risk of forming an echo chamber but I make liberal use of the block user, block community, block instance features.(in connect for lemmy. I don’t know which are app specific.)

Lemmy seems to be small enough that blocking a few dozen particularly argumentative users noticeably improves the experience. Although I do try to avoid the politics communities and posts as those frequently end up with arguments and eventually name calling.

Are you consuming the all feed unfiltered?

There was a brief moment in ecommerce when you could figure that out by looking at product reviews, before reviews turned into something for companies to manipulate.

Now I just hope project farm evaluates something I’m interested in purchasing.

The trouble with that is that sometimes you don’t know how much time you’re wasting with a poor quality tool even when it’s not broken. A couple examples come to mind. I got a cheap detailing sander. The sheets that came with it disintegrate quickly, and the unit overall just doesn’t work well. I regret that purchase. At work I had to drill a few dozen holes through 2 in thick aluminum. I spent forever on the first machine and broke multiple bits. When I had to do it again, I ordered new drill bits. The job took me half the time and was way easier on my arms. Using the used and abused worn out bits cost the company more in my labor than purchasing new bits. Some things, like taps, can cause damage that takes more than they cost to fix. A broken off tap can’t be just drilled out. They’re too hard and will shatter a drill bit. I’ve also had poor quality screw drivers and sockets round over fasteners that led to horrible times drilling out fasteners on vehicle/machine parts that are expensive to replace.

If you can work on projects with others and occasionally use their tools, you can get a better sense of which tools are worth being more discriminatory on. Unfortunately, that’s not always an option.

This implementation doesn’t seem particularly useful. However, I have long wanted maps to generate a weather forecast along route for long winter road trips. It can be pretty tedious to look up weather forecasts along a long drive and try to figure out if you’ll encounter snow.

If the CAD package can leverage GPU computing, then an eGPU is a good compromise. That way you can have plenty of power and airflow at the desk for intensive tasks, but you don’t need to lug all the hardware to the floor for interfacing with plc’s or to meetings. Although systems with good eGPU support are often expensive enough that keeping a separate desktop workstation and a lightweight laptop is competitive.

High single core cpu clock speeds and lots of ram should be the first priority for cad. Solidworks, for example, does not handle running out of ram gracefully at all.

Ironically, John Deere used to be a good example of supporting machines for a long time. I was able to get gaskets for a 33 year old tractor from them back in the early 2000’s.
