Fusion 360 used to be free for the hobbyist too. FreeCAD is GPL licensed, so it will always be free.

Wasn't that then number always returned by the PS3 random number generator used in their DRM?

The rules are entirely arbitrary, and have no basis in science. I have been told to turn off a GPS receiver that ran on two AA batteries for 12 hours. There is no possible way that you could affect the planes electronics with the power of two AA batteries. Especially not with electronics designed to be quiet enough not to interfere with the extremely weak GPS signals it must listen to. The electronics on a plane must be horribly designed if they can be affected by any hand held electronic device.

 

Upgraded to 2023.27.6 last night, now navigation audio is unintelligible. Radio still works fine, but navigation instructions only come out of the subwoofer. Tried rebooting twice with no effect.

I spent seven years living in an apartment. I so enjoyed hearing the neighbors having sex, the thumping music they played, the smell of their cigarette smoke inside my apartment with all my windows closed, the random intrusions by management to repair something unrelated to my apartment, the random rent increases. Add this to the fact that I had no space for a work shop to make anything, and paying the equivalent of a mortgage with no equivalent home equity. Some people love apartment life, but it definitely was not for me.

Even though the gui file manager shows all directories as an image of a manila folder...

Print a bunch of these as stickers, and put them on dumpsters.

You own the copyright of your photo, AI flat art has no copyright, therefore the only copyright is yours.

And we do this by flinging metallic lead all over the countryside.

This limitation is too easy to get around. Have AI generate a picture. Take a photo of that picture and destroy the original. Copyright is now owned by the photographer. Have an AI write some music, change one note of that music and call in your arrangement of that piece, destroy the original music, and only your arrangement that you have a copyright on exists. etc.

Some idiot is going to hang out near the camera with a boom box and play loud engine noises every time an electric vehicle drives by.

There seems to be yet another new battery technology that will save the world every day. And yet, they never become available to the public. I really wish we could ban them from announcing until they can mass produce the battery and sell it to the public. It is almost as bad as all those articles about the "flying car that will be available next year" articles that have been appearing in magazines since the 1950's.

 

I finally caught my Tesla ignoring a voice command it clearly heard and understood. It properly shows the command in the text box, then does nothing with it. It does this when it has no connectivity, but when it has no connectivity, nothing shows up in the text box. This is the first time I have been able to catch it where it clearly heard me, clearly understood what I said, then completely ignored me.

 

Is there a good Android app for using offline OpenStreetMap maps? My primary goal is to have maps that work when I have no connectivity. I'd like to download the entire US (or perhaps another country if I am traveling) and be able to navigate hiking trails where no cell service exists.
