My first search when I want to make something new almost always includes "serious eats" it doesn't seem to matter which author wrote the recipe, but they are almost always excellent. When there are so many websites with bad r

I think a lot of people used to find Pro/E to be extremely user hostile and difficult to work with. One you got used to it you could be efficient, but it is not known to be user friendly software. Plus they have gone the ribbon route j

I've never used it but I believe Corel's version of Lightroom works on Linux. I only use Lightroom for its catalog, there is better software out there for editing RAWs with DXO Photolab and Capture One.

Those reasons don't make sense though. In Canada the official spellings are a weird mixture of British and US English, and mostly British spelling is used. Additionally, the US standard sizes of paper are used in Canada, so that wouldn

There are still going to be components that you need that are affected by the worldwide supply chain issues. It might actually be worse if you are bringing in individual components from various places and have to get them all on ships.

It isn't just integrated circuits, even components like resistors and capacitors are in short supply. Not to mention that raw materials like plastic resin are also going way up in lead time.

The problem is that audio quality is subjective at the end of the day. Maybe you like the Harman target, someone else prefers Olive-Welti, and I might prefer the diffuse field target. You can't say one is better than the other, just on

The dimming is nice, but the feature I like that makes it completely worth it for me is that the lights slowly turn on automatically at sunset.

It would be interesting to compare the results here between people with a product design or manufacturing background vs. someone with different backgrounds. I work in the mechanical design space and definitely solve problems with additive a

Interesting, I have the 4 bay version of this NAS (F4-210) and I don't see anything along the lines of what the author is showing.

Exactly, I work on the mechanical hardware side of tech. I've long said that any company making physical products in the consumer space has to have something proprietary that cannot be easily copied, typically a software ecosystem. It

The article appears to more describe the author's limited view of their own position rather than how senior engineers as a whole grow. There are multiple paths up from a senior position, people management is one path, but there is also

Yeah, I'd steer far clear of anything labelled as a "computer" speaker. Studio monitors have long existed for that exact configuration. Plenty of inexpensive audio interfaces out there to connect the speakers to your computer

Yes and No. There are so many preferred sounds out there that a $300 and a $3000 headphone are likely to be quite different, and you would expect the $3000 headphone to be technically better, but it comes down to preference. I have a $1000

It is highly discouraged to use a Pi Zero with the current versions of OctoPrint, it just simply doesn't have enough computing power and causes quite a few problems. Prusa really should remove the page in their wiki.

Most security cameras are PoE powered which gets you a whopping 13W of power that also has to run a sensor, IR LEDs, heaters, lens, RAM, etc. before you even choose the SoC and potentially your ASIC. How much computing power do you really t

This doesn't help fix the root socioeconomic factors that guides the careers that people have the opportunities in or choose to pursue. How much of the choice of job a person makes is due to not being aware of a career path or even jus

In the meantime I'll continue to use my RTX 3070. The GTX 1060 is sitting in a box.

From what I gather from my sources that are involved in the procurement side, it sounds like there is a general shortage that is affecting certain chips more than others. Say you are using a chip where there are only a handful of customers,

That is really interesting. I've got a GTX 1060 3GB that I purchased for $280, looks like I could reasonably sell it for $200CAD on ebay. $80 for 3 years of GPU usage wouldn't be a bad return.

I tend to look at it from a slightly different perspective, where it is about he type of question you are asking. Such as: 1. Information gathering - If you generally know where you might find the info or is low priority, try to find it on

I've started using Harbour Air for my trips over to Vancouver Island quite frequently over the past few years. At one point I did the calculation and taking the floatplane ends up saving me 3-4 hours of travel time, all for about an ad
