this may be an article for a more targeted audience. Too bad we’re not talking about red dots, but green or orange.

All the “being old” feels aside, why would you be happy with a “tired” person?

Can’t the car just back up half a meter then quickly go forward half a meter?

Same.

I might give it a shot at some point then. Steam Deck is the only thing in my household that can run games, unfortunately. My laptop has lower specs.

I really want to play this game, but it unfortunately looks like it won’t run well on Steam Deck.

If I don’t design them myself, I get them from Printables.com. Students come to me with models from Makerworld, and those are, more often than not, terribly optimized for 3D printing.

Not to be confused with ReactJS.

Also, if you’re making raspberry pi enclosures as I think I read in the comments, there is this library that has pre-modeled rpis to use as a reference: https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib
- Comment on Good FOSS design software for beginners? 1 month ago:
It’s honestly pretty powerful, you can even import libraries from other users. A good example I’ve found is the board game inserts that user “js500” is uploading on Printables. He has his own library with things like rounded cubes, finger holes and whatnot, then uses that to create inserts for different games. Here’s an example: https://www.printables.com/model/1192543-white-castle-with-matcha-insert-organizer-also-fit
(Make sure to also download the library file included) - Comment on Good FOSS design software for beginners? 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t recommend Blender for anything that needs to have accurate dimensions, as it is a pain to get things right, even with the “CAD” addon.
FreeCAD seems great, but the UI and UX are horrendous. It’s a steep learning curve.
If you have any coding experience, I recommend giving OpenSCAD a look, like mentioned in another comment. I believe most of the older Prusa printer parts were designed on it.

The Canadian public institution I work at has been diving deeper and deeper into the Microsoft soup in the past few years. Getting out of there would take a considerable amount of work.

- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 3 months ago:
It does have metroidvania aspects, for sure. But if its the only “metroidvania game” you’ve played, then you haven’t really played any metroidvania games, in my opinion.
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 3 months ago:
Not sure I’d categorize Dead Cells as a metroidvania myself. More of a rogue lite.

I dusted off my steam controller after playing on a Steam Deck for a while, and it felt like garbage. everything is better on the Deck, especially the trackpads. This new controller looks like an additional improvement.

Yes, I'm definitely buying used, but suspect that prices will be affected there, too.

The QLC NAND shortage is created by the HDD shortage, per the article.

I recently found out a family member’s passwords are things like “1100011”, “1111000” and similar variations. It’s like they’re already using binary to give a helping boost to brute-forcing bots.

Damn, I started building a home server this summer, and I still need some HDDs for a NAS...

Actually, the best way to print a T shape is lying down ;) You will get a much stronger piece, because of the orientation of the layers.
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 months ago:
Prusa printers are also "turn on and print" nowadays, except if you buy it as a build-it-yourself kit. And even that is like a more advanced Lego kit, the instructions are very thorough, with community comments for every step. They're very easy to repair, and you can usually buy upgrade kits to upgrade them to the next version.
I agree that If you don't have a filter system or some way to vent the printers outside, stick to PLA for indoor items, PETG for things that might be in the sun, and potentially TPU for rubbery parts. You don't even need an enclosure for those.
If you have the budget for it, get a Prusa MK4S or Core One. In my opinion, the only reason not to buy a Prusa is the price.
