I use Open Camera on my device, there are some very rare instances where it shows an obscure error saying it can't find a gallery app. Most of the time though it opens Fossify Gallery just fine

I'm rooted and Google Photos was removed from my device before a single photo was taken, so never seen or heard even a peep from it

.NET runs natively on Linux

Only .NET Core sadly

When I moved my personal laptop to Linux I needed WINE to run some source-available .NET apps that were written targeting the Windows-only .NET Framework

I think OC has a case of the Kruger peak...

ATX power supplies are literally some of the safest power supplies to exist, and a GFCI breaker would prevent this scenario from even happening IMO lol

And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.

AMD FirePro and Catalyst users are going to probably stay on an older version of the OS, considering most of those users are going to be educational institutions, engineering workshops, makerspaces/hackerspaces etc.

Can't think of any other vendor products that integrated quite as much into the legacy control panel area

introduce a "years of service"... Isn't that going to be the next toxic metric people are going to brag with?

looks at Steam account

I feel personally attacked 😂

That looks impressive, well done! The corners in particular must have been really tricky...

I can't really even sew myself to be honest, the most sewing I've done is using a handheld chain-stitch machine to repair ripped clothing

London, Ontario (Canada)

Extremely disappointing outcome. IMO the driver should have faced the full force of the law, especially considering how this incident resulted in a loss of life and such severe trauma and injury to the poor kids involved.

A 5 year driving prohibition is just a slap on the wrist, for literal manslaughter - involuntary or not

Plain AOSP doesn't include a dialer/phone app, camera app, or clock app anymore AFAIK, so for me i'd consider base to be AOSP+GApps

Platforms like Floatplane, Nebula, Patreon etc make it so easy to support creators outside of YouTube, while also giving creators a larger share of income compared to Adsense.

There's YouTube Premium... but I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to give Google a single cent of my hard earned cash

Looking forward to this. I don't run a custom ROM myself but I am rooted, primarily to revoke permissions from Google apps and to back up my OS and app data as I desire.

However I'd much prefer to be able to run something like GrapheneOS on a Pixel if it meant I could run apps that are picky about Safetynet/Play Integrity, such as banking apps and the like

 

This is a pretty neat tour of Prusa's printer factory on the Strange Parts channel

They have an absolutely massive 600 printer farm, with the same mk3 and mk4 machines that they sell to customers, which is really impressive.

They do almost everything in-house, including manufacturing the printer mainboards, for faster project planning and turnaround times.

Note - the video is pretty long at about 40 mins!

After watching I'm a little tempted to pick up some prusament filament to support the company, really like how they are supporting local talent.

 

I've wanted one of these for a while, decided to bite the bullet a couple days ago! Seeing as I was somewhat familiar with CAD software (from engineering classes several years ago) it seemed fairly straightforward.

As someone completely new to this, there have been a TON of things I've learned from binging 3d printing channels...

  • First layer adhesion 😭
  • Bed levelling
  • Types of extruders (bowden/direct) and how they affect what materials you can print
  • Tons of printing materials, personally will be using PETG and PLA
  • Keeping filament dry in a vacuum bag

And soo much more - but there is still a lot that I have absolutely no idea about.

The printer is a second-hand Flsun Q5, the seller sent it fully assembled (very, very brave of them, but it arrived unharmed). I had a brief look around at other options, but for the price of an easythreed, this was a no brainer.

I think the seller had some issues with bed adhesion, as there was a ton of slimy stuff on the print bed when it arrived. Used some isopropyl alcohol and a dish sponge to scrub it off, seems all fine now!

I had some issues with the Z-offset but got it good enough to where there is some first layer adhesion.

Model finished printing while I was drafting this post, I sprayed some contact cleaner onto the glass bed to take it off (is that bad?). There's some stringing:

 

I recently came to the realization that I've been kinda punishing myself with cheap no-name solder that is really difficult to work with.

I reluctantly bought this (rather expensive) lead free solder for around $25 and the difference really took me by surprise - it melts and flows so easily!

Kinda got me wondering what everyone else has been using for solder, or what's worked well for you so far at least?

 

Imagine a world where billionaires having petty arguments result in functionality being remotely removed from your $40,000 device...

TL;DW: Disney decided to cease advertising on X (formerly Twitter) and not long after, the Disney+ app was removed from many owners' Tesla vehicles. Users who have already used the app shouldn't be affected by this, however those who haven't will no longer have access to this functionality.

This video follows on the heels of GM announcing removal of CarPlay and Android Auto from their future vehicles, indirectly reducing the freedom granted to vehicle owners of what they can run on their infotainment system. Running apps that provide traffic warnings and additional functionality will be no more, likely paving the way for more unnecessary subscription addons - and even situations like this where functionality can just be taken away without warning
