Oh god, as if marketplace wasn't already enough of a toxic cesspool. I miss Craigslist more and more every year, unfortunately FB marketplace seems to be where everyone in my area has congregated.

I mean, it's also in Microsoft'S business interest to keep a major computer manufacturer like Asus selling windows machines. That's one of the main reasons windows is the default OS for most people.

That seems oddly user hostile for apple. Especially for Wi-Fi passwords, which are a very common thing to share. Android has had a feature for years that generates the password as a plaintext-encoded QR code so you can share a wifi password

The other reason someone might want a screenshot specifically isn't to share a location, but to share a route. For instance, I might want to text a friend a screenshot of my driving route. Maps can sometimes route weirdly, so this is d

I mean, I wasn't inventing a life story. I added the detail to provide background on why I'm not anti-3d-printing generally. I'm coming from a place where I've helped multiple friends build their own 3d printers and have

Out of curiosity, do they give you a proper design file from their Ai builder? 'Proper' being ideally a Solidworks or equivalent file, but even a dimensioned vector file would be OK. I've never used sendcutsend, any time I qu

I mean, there's marketing copy on this page that makes me think the team doesn't really have any real manufacturing or design experience in the real world. >>"Make this enclosure lighter while keeping it strong. Optimiz

Not the parent poster, but I've been getting really tired of 3d printed crap and Ai generated slop models have just made it worse. For background I've been into 3d printing since 2013, my first printer was an acrylic i3 clone with

Plus, couldn't a theoretical bailout come with pretty onerous terms and focus on just the actual space launch & starlink divisions? It isn't hard to argue that they are as critical of a defense contractor as Lockheed. However

>>"Would a billion dollar fine for speeding change some behaviors? Yes. Is it completely out of proportion? Also yes." Maybe not the best example, since Finland does asses speeding fines based on income. So a 1bn fine would

No, they definitely have homeowner grade tools available. For instance, the MS182 [0] is a $270, 2.2cu in saw with a 16" bar listed "For homeowners and light duty work". Meanwhile, the MS201 [1] is $1100 for a 2.1cu in saw wi

Thanks for the pointers, hopefully I get some time to get started in that project soon! Although I should point out that you missed the opportunity tor making the world's slowest counter and avoiding needing any expensive memory. Just

Man, I should get a PhD if it's that little effort. Sure, you can drive yourself nuts picking a window manager, but that's for the hardcore nerds who want to optimize everything about their WM. For a different example of the same

The only software I've been excited about an update for in years has been games, that seems like the only category where devs actually add features people are excited about. For example, the latest KCD2 patch added a fun but brief new

This is extremely cool, I've played with FPGA design but never really even looked into custom ASIC design due to budget concerns. I hadn't heard of the tinytapeout project. Any recommended links for getting started? I have a (real

Ugh, that's a new low. I can't think of a single good reason a lighting app would need shopify api access. That said, I've done some consulting work on shopify stores, and I wouldn't be shocked at all to see something li

I dunno, seems like it could be a bit vague. Does 45 refer to 45 Webley or 45 GAP? Could possibly also refer to 45 Colt I guess, if you're boring. But 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 45 Colt Government? Also, just in case this comment isn't peda

Not exactly open firmware, but something like ONVIF on an isolated network is pretty close. An ONVIF camera should talk to basically any NVR (network video recorder), there are several open-source ones available. There are tons of ONVIF-com

I'm not aware of corner markers being the standard, at least in the central and western US. For rural and undeveloped land, oftentimes you can pay the surveyor extra to put up corner markers though, which is a good investment if you pl

So you've never actually studied philosophy or mathematics formally, yet you can succinctly claim that philosophy is easier than math? FWIW, I hold math and CS degrees, and fulfilled as many of my humanities requirements with philosoph

Wait, so self hosting but I don't host my own email? So you guys just want to run your own mailserver and give people custom emails? That sounds like negative utility. That would make hosting an email server on one of your domains hard

I'm not trying to be snarky, but it sounds like you have never had to implement an online payment system directly using a merchant account. If you've only used something like Stripe, there's a lot of requirements and complian

It's 100% a racket. Your code could have been 10x worse and still passed, I doubt the auditors even looked at the code. It's a legal box-checking exercise, there really isn't much of an actual review besides the documentation

If they don't have a strict requirement on SOC2, then either PCI compliance or NSA CISA are more easily done without needing tons of money. Edit: PCI would only apply if you are processing customer funds Iirc, it's been a few year

Do they? Every time I've been asked about SOC compliance, it turned out the underlying reason was either insurance or a requirement the customer had from their downstream customer. Neither of those cases would be negotiable, the custom

Bold claim without any provided source. Do you have a link to back up that ASLR is a complete non-factor?
