What car manufacturer isn't a "more upper-crust brand" when compared to Daihatsu? Never mind that they were acquired by Toyota 5ish years ago.

The P2421 suffers from same dilemma as legacy 16:10 displays: they're still just single-link WUXGA. Furthermore, it's not a UltraSharp series display, which suggests (at a minimum) no proper color calibration out of the box...perh

The hearing was scheduled for 2021-09-20, over two months ago. Any idea what the outcome was? I tried poking around here[1], but CPUC public discoverability is up there with the worst of enterprise...never mind that a decision/resoluti

First thing that came to mind as well. To be sure, uninstalled with a quickness; might just be a generational sensibility thing, but the memes struck me as intolerable.

AutoCAD is not like Altium in that the former requires either hitting Enter when the minimum command is entered, or more annoyingly, selecting from a slow-to-render autocomplete context menu with the mouse. Some common commands can also be

Curious how long did that take and what iteration made it to production? What CAD was used for prior designs? Can you give an example of a "minority layout" that your tech deemed unfavorable? I really want to believe KiCAD is th

If you think that's fun, just wait until you encounter the clowns who copy-paste random shit directly out of Word docs containing C1 control codes mascarading as "smart quotes" into your UTF-8 source.
