Perfect answer, no need for me to scroll further.

And sociopathy.

Those companies, like Pfizer, do very little of their R&D. They spend money buying up companies to control the IP after most of the work is done. And that work is often funded by government grants. So American citizens have their tax money go towards research (which is great, I’m all for that) but for-profit companies come in at the end to carry the ball over the line, and make billions doing it (which we pay for too). Broken system.

Or we have to go to Mexico. Moderna just signed an agreement with the government there to do vaccine production.

And funding cuts ended a lot of ongoing research projects. The US will be at least a decade behind in breakthroughs because we have morons in charge who value conspiracy theory over scientific method.

I just started looking at that this afternoon. May host my own on the game server I’m already running. Like that there are clients for Linux as well as Windows and Mac. My friend doing cross-play with his PS5 will probably have to link in using his phone though.

I did this, and installed the old drive into a USB adapter so I could easily pull any documents I may want to access. The Linux install will mount a NTFS drive, so worked great for that.

For the OP, while you CAN have the PC boot up to the Windows drive plugged into USB, I would not recommend doing it more than a couple times. Windows seems to hate this; I’ve had two installations of Win10 Pro eat itself and become unbootable, could not be repaired. The files were still accessible through Linux though so was able to make copies.

I use “Windy” in the US. They have over 50 different map overlays.

Infrared lasers used in lidar systems will damage phone cameras, so likely will fry surveillance cameras as well. You can buy 1550nm lasers used as illuminators for night vision systems. Probably want a Class 2 or 3.

Error 403, access forbidden. Feds really must not want anyone seeing this.

I’m running a flatpak version of Orca Slicer on Kubuntu 24.04. Personally, just prefer Orca after trying out a couple others. Found that it worked under Mint, and the 24.04 versions of Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Newer distros using Wayland instead of X11 seemed to have issues (which some people running Cura or Prusa slicers saw as well). Not everyone, but plenty of folks had software lock up at startup, or the build plate preview would just be a blank page. Might be a video driver problem, possibly depending upon if you use nvidia or AMD. I couldn’t find any real answers.

If there’s a slicer you prefer, you may have to find a Linux distro that it works under. Or if you are running a distro you’re sticking with, try slicers until you get one that runs. It seems to be hit or miss for people without any good reason for what does and doesn’t work.

My setup started similar to yours. Asus x570 motherboard with an AMD 3800x processor set for 4.0Ghz and 32GB ram. I had an nvidia 3070ti card which did work for me running the current Kubuntu LTS. Just had to make sure I always had the latest driver release from nvidia. Running games through Steam worked fine, but shader caching would take 20 minutes if I didn’t just skip it. Games had some terrible shadows at times which I could never fix no matter what settings I turned off or reduced. Bought a PowerColor 9070xt card last month (and a bigger power supply to make sure there was enough juice to run everything). Popped it in and performance has been sooo much better! I was expecting there to be issues, but the system posted fine and came right up like normal. Shading issues are gone, games look far better (water actually looks watery and has ripples), shader caching dropped to 10 or 20 seconds. And I haven’t had my system become hung up once since the switch. Friends and I have played Enshrouded, Valheim, and Ark Survival Ascended recently, and been playing a bit of Skyrim for fun too. All have run smoother, look better, and my system has been more stable… Overall it was worth it for me to get a 9070xt card.

With most of the cards missing.

They need to christen their newly renamed Department of War with a war of some sort. Otherwise why go through all that trouble of renaming it. That would just look stupid.

Bought a used truck from a pest control company when I was in college, and they didn’t remove any of the decals before I took it. Parked a lot of places for free.

I’ve been using Solid Edge. Siemens offers a free community edition that works great if you want to create models for 3d printing. I originally used FreeCAD, and while it works, had problems with models breaking when trying to make changes. Solid Edge is much more professional, easy to use, with pretty much all the features available that you could want. The only drawback for me is that it only runs on Windows. Tried going back to FreeCAD since it has the new 1.0 release and will run on Linux, but it felt too awkward. Now I have a dual boot system with Windows solely to run CAD software.

Commenters at the end of the article agreed with you on that. Probably better off buying a launcher and some engines instead. Then create your own designs with some CAD software. If I had a printer back when I was 12, printing up my own cones and fins would have been great.

I can still hear that voice in my head saying it, along with “goodbye!”

Providing their location data is already a thing. Apparently they feel threatened by it.
