8.5 GWh / 85 MW = 100 hours, or around 4 days. If they can build it cheap enough, this is the kind of battery we would need to replace nuclear for dealing with the day-to-day variability of renewables.

Will the Mediatek modules also support VESA Adaptive Sync, or will they have fixed frame rate on AMD cards?

STEP is at least marginally better than STL, because it can represent stuff like circles, instead of just a mesh.

It exports as F3D (probably readable by future versions of Fusion) and STEP (standard but with less fidelity) by default.

https://github.com/aconz2/Fusion360Exporter lets you bulk export all of your projects to local storage.

There is some good stuff in this release. Go to Preferences > GUI and check "Show sidebar collapse/expand button" + "Settings in non-modal window". Now you can put the Preview and Print Settings windows side-by-side, and see the result of every change immediately. This also requires "Background processing", but that's been available for ages.

all the features you know and love from things up the tree

Did OrcaSlicer ever bring back the option to slice automatically when changing settings? It's called "Background processing" in PrusaSlicer.

Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).

Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.

A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and the VPN server, and any packet on that path includes your IP address. So anyone attempting to decrypt your VPN traffic can trivially distinguish your packets from other users of the VPN server.

So your threat model assumes an actor with a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA, but not a regular computer capable of filtering by IP address?

So that's what a plumbus is for.

Worth noting: "Visible includes mobile hotspot with unlimited data at speeds up to 5Mbps."

In other news, if you try to upload a file named uncalibrated_example.stl to Thingiverse, it fails with no error message, because somewhere they have a pr0n filter searching for rated*x.

Some people might find this bundle_scad.py code useful. It combines an STL, SCAD, and all its dependencies into a single file.

I designed this wonky-looking funnel to fit my Squirrel Buster Legacy (and probably similar models), with hooks and posts that make it possible to refill the feeder without setting any parts on the ground.

This design of feeder needs to be located away from surfaces that a squirrel could stand on, so I assume a lot of people run into this problem. I don't really blame the company for making it so cumbersome to operate, because there's overlap between the smartest squirrels and the dumbest humans.

 

I think I found a counterexample to the common wisdom that more walls always create a stronger part.

The pictured S shape is 1.5mm thick, so printing with 2 walls leaves no room for infill. My testing wasn't very rigorous, but it seems that the hybrid structure of walls + rectilinear infill is 10-20% more rigid than walls alone. The infill adds strength by cris-crossing between adjacent layers.

I think it's fine to include a concentric top/bottom layer, but multiple identical layers weaken the part. I also tried 0 walls (infill only) and that was garbage.

Subway refuses to answer my questions about whether it's an International Footlong or a US Survey Footlong. A milligram of sandwich is at stake!

 

Am I the only idiot who keeps doing this?

  • Looking at a random image in Firefox
  • Click the hamburger menu > Zoom [+] a few times
  • Click off the menu
  • Zoom level snaps back to 100%

Of course, the problem is that when I "click off the menu", I'm clicking on the image, because it fills most of the screen. If I do the exact same thing in Chrome, the zoom level does not change.

If "revert zoom on click" is considered a sensible design choice, then clicking again ought to revert to the zoom level I just chose.
