Scratch

Neat!

Blender and FreeCAD.

Blender for organic, sculpted shapes.

FreeCAD for parametric, accurate parts.

CEOs are obliged to act in the best interests of the company (as opposed to shareholders, which I stated previously). 99.99% of the time, that means increase market share, revenue and margins while cutting costs as close to the bone as possible.

True, but honor and loyalty are worthless to a corp.

They are legally obliged to.

It’s not a dig against Nvidia, imo. All companies do this if they can. AMD siphoned off chips for enterprise from both cpu and gpu, because the premiums you can charge are so much higher.

I found Picard before I found Gowron…. Fml

Getting real tired of the “boycott Mozilla! They take money from Google!” And “boycott Mozilla! They try to make money from their users!” Merry-go-round.

Actually great.

PhotoGIMP

GIMPShop

There really is no good portmanteau of the two products.

Ralph Feinnes is incredible! He just does great work.

The fact it happened at the same z location twice is telling.

Try a slim vase-mode print that reaches past that height and see if it happens again.

Nvidia are selling many multiples of this volume to AI providers.

Gaming means essentially nothing in the big picture. (Outside of maybe prestige or similar)

All true, but sometimes a clog turns into a Clog and it’s time to just drop in a replacement while you try and fix the clogged one.

Addendum: If nozzles are cheap, you could pick some up. They are consumable parts.

And you could grab a tighter nozzle too, for better details in your prints. (Though the print time goes up dramatically!)

Those are fine picks.

Grab some big ziplock bags and a pack of desiccant sachets to keep the filaments dry while in storage.

If something is worth paying for I just do that up-front. (Outside of some exceptions where I actively don’t want to support the creator or license holder)

Or SporkRotator

Also, Leo was left handed.

This comic is worse than Cow Tools.

Opinion: Having some highly opinionated, highly polished distros is an excellent gateway for people to jump aboard. Not everything will be how you want it, sure. But that’s how things are on Windows & MacOS right now.

Immutable distros also help here, preventing goombas like myself from bricking my OS, getting fed up and going back to MS.

Once you learn the basics with guard rails, you can branch out and fix the issues you really care about.
