You cannot compare the raw thermal conductivity of a fluid like air (that pulls heat via convection) to a solid material like plastic (that pulls heat via conduction). Especially when the fluid is being actively moved with the intention of

I've seen this technique a lot, but mostly as a post-processing technique where resin, fiber, or some other type of plastic is injected into the channels after printing is completed. It would be interesting to see this done during the

I just got a chance to see this video now. Thank you for sharing this with me. This is the first time I've seen the `rnote` app on an E-ink device. I'm quite surprised in how functional it looks, though I can already tell the late

I think there may be a misunderstanding of my point. The fact that GNOME works well on typical tablets isn't really relevant here. The PineNote is an E-ink device with very specific hardware constraints and use cases. It's primari

Wow, that's some convenient timing. That makes pretty much the sole reason I wouldn't recommend FreeCAD irrelevant.

FreeCAD has improved immensely over the past 2-3 years in terms of stability and features. A decade ago it was not uncommon for me to experience crashes from it randomly losing its GLX context or the constraint solver segfaulting for some r

Other than power consumption, is there any reason to prefer a single workstation card over multiple consumer cards then? A single $6800 RTX 6000 Ada with 48GB of VRAM vs 6x 7900XTX with a combined total of 144GB of VRAM honestly makes this
