Autodesk for myself, apparently its super dependant on .net and other windows framework so its not like they are going to make it linux compatible any time soon.

Lego is the only correct version though, it is defined by the company that created it so its not ‘open to interpretation’ imo.

- Comment on The Verge shows how Google search is useless 1 month ago:
I use DDG but i do wonder what i dont see sometimes, i often google a specific brand of components at work and even with the exact brand and/or part number in the search it sometimes doesnt turn up any results (say 5-7 random unrelated webpages) and thats it. Then i put the same search in google and bam, top result.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 month ago:
There is no such thing as a free service.
People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.
The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:
Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases) ‘Free’ content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
‘Free’ content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?

This is not a typo right, 307Amps?! What creative maths have they done to get this number.
The PCB tracks on the motherboard are what, about 0.5mm thick and about 2mm wide (for the larger channels)? I can absolutely guarantee you arent getting 300+ Amps through those tracks.

Did you ever work with or cover parking areas in your job/studies?
I have always wanted to know, when there are carparks (the open style rows of bays such as outside of grocery/big box stores) why do they never use angled bays? I figure it came down to the difference between something like 100 available parking spaces instead of 96 with losses in corners or something.
It baffles me that with how much easier it is for everyone to both pull into and reverse out of an angled bay why they dont just sacrifice a couple bays in return for increased traffic flow and less dings.Also if they are in a herringbone pattern between adjacent rows it means that people cant just ‘pull through’ one bay into the next row and destroy any landscaping that may be between the two (i see strips of nicely mulched landscaping with small shrubs destroyed everywhere in my city from dickheads that dont give a fuck).
- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 2 months ago:
I dont think that providing both opposing sides of an argument is ‘balanced’ when they appear to have equal weight.
Like giving a climate change scientist and sceptic the same airtime on a news segment without pointing out the overwhelming majority of qualified scientists say that it is fact that its happening and the other guest represents a tiny fringe group of sceptics. - Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 2 months ago:

- Comment on Is TV Dead? Global TV Shipments Hit a Decade Low in 2023 3 months ago:
Exactly what im thinking.
Is it just that we have in the last few years reached the threshold for large TVs to have come down in price and up in quality for them to be worth the purchase - but also the incentive to get a new tv to have a bigger/higher quality picture isnt worth the upgrade (or just your satisfied with the product you have).
And then factoring in that practically worldwide inflation and cost of living is out of control and people sure can make do without a fancy TV when instead they can have food and pay their rent.Next article “is streaming dead? We keep putting up prices and consumers are dropping subscriptions!”

- Comment on My thoughts on the Australia Day date 5 months ago:
The queen/kings ‘birthday’ used to be the same week as the AFL grand final in WA until they added more teams, i think we should do the following:
- Aussie day is the last friday in Jan, done. because everybody knows its fine it its friday or monday, but as soon as its mid week people are going to chuck sickies (hangover day/extended weekend) on the work day in between when its tues or thurs, or have an awkward wednesday off between two work days.
- The king/queens birthday is the last weekend of september in EVERY state, and the AFL grandfinal (and NRL or whatever else wraps up at this point) is on that weekend, season fixtures calculated backwards from this date so it stays the same.

- Comment on The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending 5 months ago:
Agreed, also i like to stack my bag very methodically with hevier and more study items at the bottom, cold things together, interlock and tetris them so the bag has its own integrity and doesnt collapse and spill everything in the car after a corner.
Yes i know the checkout person also stacks in a similar fashion but they are paid the slap it through and into a bag as fast as possible to serve the next customer and i dont mind sacrificing an extra 15seconds of my day over the bag stacking operation to do it right. - Comment on xkcd #2880: Sheet Bend 5 months ago:
