We used to be stuck with Comcast, but we had no trouble using our own modem and router. We moved from lower Nob Hill to Russian Hill and were finally able to get fiber from Sonic. We went from ~300Mbps down to 1G (more like 750Mbps) and fro

Agreed. The tolerances inside a 5-way stick switch like that are so tight, just manually disassembling and reassembling a brand new one is likely to make it flakey. It would be much better to find the right replacement component and desolde

I really wonder who benefits from this. Trump only does things that are good for him, or those close to him. I realize he's been making connections to the crypto world, and has his own meme coins. Does pardoning Ross somehow make crypt

I tried it for about a 1/2 hr and it was nothing like TikTok in terms of content, UX, or the algorithm. More of a fail than Reels or Shorts, or any other wannabe clones.

I first read that very very differently with a word which is almost an anagram of Fertilo, which begins with 'fe' and ends with 'o'. I was very confused how what has been euphemistically described as "swallowing kid

You've tested all the websites in the world? That must keep you busy.

I bet that's not the only thing that doesn't work well on a 10 year old phone that hasn't had OS support since 2019.

It really depends on the types of objects you're trying to look at and why. The one thing that the article gets right is that turntable makes sense if the object has a natural Z orientation. Things like buildings, furniture and automob

Or just use double-walled glasses like some of the ones made by Bodum [0]. We have a bunch of the Pavina glasses and they're great with cold (or hot liquids). [0] https://www.bodum.com/us/en/coffee/mugs-c

Why, because there’s not as much work to do debugging installers and malware as there is with Windows?

It seems like this only supports "JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, or PHP". I would be so happy if it worked with FeatureScript (which is similar to JavaScript, but is for 3D CAD in Onshape). I wonder what it would take

I’m very curious about the fonts available in Cuttle. Are these all free fonts, or did some need to be licensed? Is it possible to use professional fonts which are on your local machine (without exporting as outlines)? How much adjustment n

I came here to say something like this. I've worked in product development in the Bay Area for 30+ years and brought numerous products to market, mostly manufactured in China. There's nothing like the density and ability of manufa

I'm not a mathematician much beyond AP Calc in high school (almost 40 years ago). I am deeply fascinated by Bézier curves and geometric continuity. I've spent a lot of time digging up research papers and references about this and

There are spelling and grammar errors all over. What's weird is that parts of this reek of AI generation (check out the terms of service and privacy policy pages), and parts seem like ESL issues. ChatGPT could certainly suggest spellin

Many of the existing tools will automatically add constraints as you go. Certainly the tangent, horizontal and vertical constraints can be done while sketching with a tiny amount of care. Some systems will look for other circles and try to

I've been using parametric CAD (Pro/E / Creo, Solidworks, and Onshape) for 30+ years. Automatically adding sketch constraints is nothing new. Just about any 2D sketching tool out there will have some sort of snapping and&#x2F

Try buying property for the first time. After having successfully wire transferred the 3% deposit to the escrow company, we tried to transfer the remaining amount of the down payment, and the bank just refused. They wouldn’t tell us in deta

Email signups can be meaningful if the product doesn't cost the user much (e.g. ad-supported web or app), but for paid products, getting a commitment to buy something is more real. Even then, something can have a very successful Kickst

This is very cool. I turned on all the types of crime and a weird set of diagonal darker regions appeared in the avenues. Either this is some weird artifact of the geocoding or there's some really strange magnetic fields or something a

Capp Street is the center of the issue - so much so that permanent bollards have been added to cut down on customers circling the blocks looking for people selling themselves. https://missionlocal.org/2024/04/barri

The demo is fluid and works well, but I'm not sure I understand what problem this is solving when things like Matterport are already doing this with real images of spaces. It doesn't require floor plans. In many cases floor plans

I commuted for several years to Palo Alto from SF. If you manage to get on a "baby bullet" it was a 37 minute ride, but you also have to get to/from a Caltrain station on each end. In PA, I was lucky that the office was a few

The likelihood of the product/service lasting long enough to qualify as "never" dying is zero. Even basic websites don't last forever. Operating systems aren't supported forever. People in assisted living homes are

You need to be specific. It's very much location based in terms of data quality and how current it is. It's great in the SF Bay Area, which isn't surprising given where Apple is based.
