Is that fan animation, or part of a special episode?

Just yesterday, I've helped a dog get back to its home for like the 3rd or 4th time, the owners often don't see it getting out while the garage door is open. The dog recognized me from a certain distance and was more than glad to guide me towards the garage door.

For the size I want to print, a pure cube won't cut it, but I did manage to make a form-fitting mold by making the cube hollow, then removing the cube proper, being left with the mold proper.

I've been spending quite some time trying to figure how to properly cut the mold into 2 or 3 parts in a way that I can actually close the thing and pull out the cured silicone without it deciding it'd rather stick to the cured resin. I've given some thought on making a single use mold, but I also gotta figure how to ensure its interior gets enough release agent to help me demold.

"All modern operating systems do this, including macOS and Linux. It’s not ‘cheating’; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast: they temporarily boost the CPU speed and prioritize interactive tasks to reduce latency"

Imagine making code so fucking bloated that things that were near instant in 2006 now require CPU boosts to "feel" instant. The video comparison in the article is just opening outlook. 14 seconds vs 4 seconds to get to the damned thing ready to use.

“There are actual things wrong and smart people are working to fix them, but a lot of this negativity is computer science enthusiasts without experience in computer science making assumptions based on their intuition.”

You don't need to be a computer scientist to figure that

even if the company does something positive, critics, with basic knowledge, come up with baseless explanations about how it’s something negative.

Author sure enjoys licking M$'s balls

Linux menus can feel lighter because they often do less work

Because, for the most part, they're not bloated messes.

and integrate fewer services

How many of those services are even desired in the first fucking place? Copilot can go to hell and take all the advertising and telemetry with it.

However, bandwagon criticism of an already established technology when a company you dislike adopts it is plain hypocrisy.

It's only hypocrisy if you defend others doing it.

He elaborated that older [Windows 95-XP-7] menus were essentially just unhiding a pre-rendered, fixed layout panel with zero DPI scaling changes and no network requests. Today, the Windows 11 Start menu is constantly pulling in recommended recent documents, cloud files, and web search results.

Even fucking win10 menu feels much faster than win11's under default settings, i've had 11's menu hang and completely fail to search for anything because it looks like it prioritizes web searches over fucking local. Using Open Shell solves a lot of the woes of having to deal with the slow, heavy shit M$ is forcing down its users' throats.

When users demanded that Microsoft remove all the bloat and optimize the apps first before implementing a CPU boost, Hanselman replied, “Or do both.”

Copilot is still everywhere. Telemetry is still there. Ads are still there. Xbox Game bar is still installed by default on fucking office/corporate computers. The bloat that people want to get rid of the most is staying, to the surprise of no one.

Title. I'm looking for resins with the lowest Shore hardness, the lowest one I've found (that I can buy on aliexpress) is Resione F39, with Shore 60-75A. Ideally, I'd want to get something closer to Shore 30-40A.

So, failing that, anyone with a higher understanding of chemistry can explain what additives are usually added, resulting in a cured resin with greater elasticity?

As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".

In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

By analogic age, I mean before computers became widespread.

I want to have something more visual than just the description of the processes involved, especially how a finished B&W art was made into something that could be printed several times

It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.

Elements of Ultima VII were inspired by game developer Origin Systems' conflicts with competitor (and later owner) Electronic Arts. Origin Systems' corporate slogan was "We Create Worlds", while the main antagonist of the story – the Guardian – is presented as a "Destroyer of Worlds". The three evil "Generators" created by the Guardian in the game take the physical shapes of the contemporary Electronic Arts logo: a cube, a sphere, and a tetrahedron. Elizabeth and Abraham, two apparently benevolent characters who later turn out to be murderers, have the initials "E" and "A".[10] Electronic Arts would acquire Origin later that same year, on September 25, 1992.

EA, destroyer of worlds since 1992

I know that direct p2p filesharing programs have been mostly superceded by torrents and even ddl, but sometimes I feel like "trying my luck" with stuff I didn't search for directly (behind a VM, because i'm not that adventurous)
