yeah because cars never break down during high heat or cold and ac never fails in them…

Pathetic. In german(y) you can essen Essen in Essen.

and it takes 1 calorie to heat 1g of water by 1°C, so with your daily recommended food intake of 2000kcal you could heat 2000l of water by 1°C or raise 20l of water from 0°C to 100°C.

Also a normal person can rides the bike between 0W and 100W comfortably, while trained people peak at around 1000W for short sprints.

Windows file explorer lacked tabs when dolphin had them for a decade or so and its still not even close to even the top of file managers. Also its terrible slow, unreliable, crashes often and has 4 different UIs baked in.

Do some plugins for Dolphin, I feel like they are neat because a) other devs that want to implement a function now have a blueprint for it b) with downloads/stars metric that these add-on stores provide you get a good idea of what the community actually wants.

Keep mine offline for that reason and I dont really need a firmware update (as long as they are not software locking replacement parts in the future, but in that case I am happy to trash the printer and never look back, its already payed itself of 100x)

Yes I do this of course, with maintenance I meant deep cleaning stuff, unscrewing panels, tightening belts, replacing gears etc.

I exclusively print functional engineering stuff so single colour and whatever colour is the cheapest lol

To be fair their printers (P1S and H2D) are reliable workhorses, I cant remember if I ever had a failed print and they are basically in 24/7 operation since a year. Never had to do any maintenance.

This is the spectrum of dialects you hear when you walk 10km across every european country lol

I am a non native english speaker but could understand every accent you posted easily, meanwhile most native germans dont understand Platt-german, deep-Bavarian or Swiss-german like at all. You pick up a word or four per sentence but thats about it.

I’d say I am good in Linux, having it used for 15 years or so, however I needed to research a little bit on how to boot up from USB on my new computer. I ordered it without OS and it somehow still came with a non activated Win11 install and of course safe boot and Microsoft makes sure its really annoying to turn that off.

Totally see how this would scare off many people, so really cant blame them…

its actually not. You need something the size of at least half the wavelength of the microwave, or multiples of it. Thats why forks and aluminium foil spark a lot (they have “antennas” that allow for charge separation through the microwave and if two of those separated charges are in close proximity a spark is formed).

But if you have one single “antenna” like in a knife or spoon, no part of large charge separation is close enough for a spark.

However if you dont know about this you better not put anything metallic or conductive into the microwave.

I actually like FreeCAD and its UI a lot and the recent improvements are huge! Yes it has its quirks but for a tool as versatile as FreeCAD they are acceptable.

I am late GenZ, we used to drink all day, every day from pumps on playgrounds and parks that were just unfiltered well water. Until they shut them down one by one. This was not a GenZ idea, this were Boomers and GenX trying to line their pockets with the “savings” these measures had.

Legends say that Boomers and GenX then complain about children not playing outside anymore.

If you blame GenZ or Alpha for how they have grown up in the society and environment you left them with it just reeks of the signature Boomer mentality to fuck everything up for everything but themselves and then blaming everyone else.

Yeah because Windows turned you all into tech-iliterate people and Linux is a good start into learning how to properly use a computer. Recently a Coworker approached me because she needed to move every photo from one folder to another and she has been dragging and dropping them all day but its just to many. While technically some Windows people know its possible with Windows cmd in a one-liner, most if not all Linux users will know the command in a heartbeat.

There is exactly one OS that improves the skills of its users just by using it.

Maybe if Windows and Mac users wont act like a bug stuck on its back once they encounter the slightest hint of a problem and start bothering the Linux guy with it, the Linux guy would be less condescending on their OS choice.

And yet when there is a school shooting, everyone of these is just cowardly waiting outside

I would recommend anything Thermal Grizzly: https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/

Simply because the owner has two 1 hour long videos explaining how its made and tested and it actually seems to be one of the best.

Found this on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68903835/how-to-draw-a-shape-inside-a-pdf-with-python

import fitz

Open the pdf

doc = fitz.open(‘./test.pdf’) for page in doc: # For every page, draw a rectangle on coordinates (1,1)(100,100) page.draw_rect([1,1,100,100], color = (0, 1, 0), width = 2)

Save pdf

doc.save(‘./your-route/name.pdf’)

Seems like it has a solid chance of working.

PopOS is great, the installation process is like 5minutes, with 4 minutes being the download and boot from USB. From there on you click “next” 5 times and are rebooting into a working system.

To be absolutely honest, I had to do some googling and command line stuff to get my fingerprint reader in the laptop working but that was the only thing that needed any attention. But I never did a Windows install where I didnt have to configure at least 2-3 drivers, so I consider it a draw.

From there one it is the typical stuff: You need one proprietary software? You have to figure it out for hours how to get it to work. You are fine with open source options? Go enjoy a blazing fast ad-free non intrusive non annoying OS. For me the trade of is worth it. Been using Linux since I was 14, if I could do it from my kids room with parents switching of WLAN after 22:00 you can do it too.
