I didn't get a single knock last night.

Spooky decorations, LED candles, WLED providing backup lighting, 12 XL Hershey bars with frozen Snickers as backup.

Not. One. Knock.

Fuck em -- we'll be eating smores all winter. 🤷

You can avoid that by not using MS controllers in Linux, or using old controllers with a cable. My Retropie has xbox 360 controller support compiled in and every controller works OOB.

It’s also a bit strange to see a production-intent build of a solar electric vehicle without any solar panels. Still, Aptera shared that technology will be implemented next alongside the SEV’s production-intent thermal management system and exterior surfaces.

This thing is pure vaporware. My new Leaf isn't.

Back up and running without any fuss. I think all the packages are installed by default in a new flash so all I needed to do was select labwc in the raspi-config menu.

it looks like labwc isn't installed by default on older installs. My debian 11 install is all bjorked but thankfully its just a kiosk so I am reinstalling with 12 now.

Has anyone tried this yet? I don't have any desktop Pi's at this house.

[e]Wait I forgot one of my HA panels is a pi 4 ill update and report back. I'm especially interested in the touchscreen support being improved.

who. fucking. cares.

This "article" is straight astroturfing.

Every single member of that organization should be afraid of showing their pathetic little fucked up faces in public for the rest of their lives.

I do miss the "making of" features that showed behind the scenes but as computers got better and movie execs got cheaper it wasn't that interesting to just be like "well we did it with a green screen and then in post." for fucking EVERYTHING...

It was much more fun watching pure artists at their craft making models and explosions and trick camera work for practical effects.

My theory is that practical effects takes a monumental amount of knowledge and skill and as those people got more and more expensive it was cheaper for the vultures to just hire college grad artists and grind them into the ground than pay the union salaries.

Waiting for the MS apologists to say this is a Crowdstrike problem or some other fucking dumbass shit.

Microsoft by and large are just computational cancer at this point. Bloat, crud, fud, and junk.

I have become fairly proficient with OnShape thanks to their free courses and while I am fairly competent with the controls and achieving something serviceable, I would really love to get into learning more about CAD/product design best practices.

There's probably a class or two in freshman engineering that gets into this stuff but I am mostly picking things up through trial and error. I am mostly just poorly imitating stuff I have seen after a few decades of taking things apart and occasionally putting them back together.

Like: How should I design two parts to fit together optimally? How should I decide what kind of hardware and why, or where? Screws? Bolts? Glue? Holes, where and why? What are some things to look out for when designing universal parts?

Also, are there any good references for working with PLA? I have a good sense of what things will look like after slicing and have got pretty good at making things that will print well and be strong but I could always use more references.
