Industrial equipment control computers mostly - the computer is part of the machine and cannot be upgraded. You see this quite a lot outside China too.

That's not quite true - 语 as in 汉语 is a spoken language or dialect. 文 is used for written language, and can mean a language in general, a writing system, or an entire culture, depending on what you combine it with.

minkowski and hull operate on every vertex in your object mesh - this means they need to a) convert the solid into a mesh and b) do math for every combination of vertices in said mesh. That's O(n^2) operations for objects of complexity

Cadquery is a massive pain to install. Most users use conda to get all the dependencies going which is a horrible monstrosity. That's my biggest warning. Openscad is the best for working with existing STLs. Say you have a centered 30x1

I am a passionate OpenSCAD user and prefer it for many things, but there are several reasons I tend to work in FreeCAD sometimes, and recommend it to people: - Way more functionality - STEP support - Constraint solver Also it's much mo

With OpenSCAD, you don't have fillets as part of the language, but you can do chamfers or machinable parts easily using the minkowski sum operation, which basically places an object of your choice on every point along the surface of an

Alternatively, try FreeCAD. It's an amazingly capable software, and you don't have to fear it will one day be bought by autodesk and ruined.

A sufficiently high convenience bar makes the entire project nonviable. I personally know at least a handful of businesses who got fucked over by paypal integration breakage or traditional merchant account and had all those problems go away

There's many things wrong with Vice. In addition to the story in the sibling comment, they have a consistent track record of misrepresenting their reporting to sources, heavily editing interview responses to change the meaning of what

Having been to Chinese PCB fabs recently, they're no longer extremely dirty. The major impact is international shipping.

Try Aisler - they ship from Germany or US (whichever is closer) and are similar to OSHPark in user experience. About LCSC, they are entirely legit and a very good source. I use them all the time.

It does try to manipulate you. It has dark patterns such as nagging for phonebook access, and if you grant and then revoke such access, it hides all your contact names (showing number only) until you re-enable phonebook access. They also st

There is in fact an interrupt mechanism for input devices - the host sends a request with a long timeout and the device responds to the outstanding request when it has something exciting to report, or when the timeout is about to expire. Th

You can buy a cheap ticket on an empty flight that then gets cancelled.

No - this is implemented in software on a general-purpose processor. You can't read flash contents optically with a microscope, so the software part is invisible. You can certainly identify the bits of the general-purpose processor tho

It means it's never been tested and there's no safe way to use it - the hardware and software are not configured to have that ability for this particular flight, is how I understand it.

It's the kind of business that mops up empty commercial space, usually on a "until we find a better tenant" serial short-term rental agreement. See also kiosks, nail salons, vape shops, "outlets", pop-up shops etc.

Adding a new component that is really difficult to disable or uninstall, auto-starts on boot and gets put in place without asking for everyone who uses your office suite, which you basically have a monopoly on, is bullshit. Teams is a compo

The point of the huge window is that you have multiple steps and the window is sized for the largest one so it doesn't resize between steps. I'm also unhappy about the extra space but the window being larger than its contents make

Use invidious instead. It's a frontend to youtube without the bullshit. Not all videos work (only the ones that allow embedding) but most do. I've got my browser to redirect all youtube.com URLs to invidious and all twitter URLs t

Sadly no pictures of the insides. I'll give you a description though. I cut a trace on the camera module (should have cut the cable instead on second thought) and soldered in two bits of enamel wire that go to a slide switch. Clipped a

Same on all counts, though I went a step further and wired in a microminiature slide switch to completely power off the camera. That way applications see "no camera" unless I go out of my way to power it on. I painted the "on

Yep, but a hostile entity that owns Qt can do a lot of damage to Qt by publishing on the last permitted day, and denying community contributions and destroying community governance. I can definitely imagine a hostile corporation like Oracle
