Same experience here, and I'm still baffled as to why they're doing this, do you have any guesses?

Yes, and blocks radio transmissions very nicely. When making a model airplane with a carbon fibre hull, we have to add a plain fibreglass or plastic window for the antenna to receive through.

Our weather forecasting agencies also forecast UV exposure, it gets reported as the "UV Index"

Depends how long ago, but your hair can be tested for lead exposure. Hair grows at about 6 inches per year. If your hair was 3 ft long you could test back as far as 6 years ago with that method.

SDXL runs fine on my 6GB card, and I hear people manage it on 4GB too. Mine's only a 1060 though, so it does take minutes for a generation, whereas the newer cards can do it an order of magnitude faster.

I'm using a Kobo eReader to run XCSoar, to act as a moving-map/flight computer for a sailplane [0] It's fantastic, as it has a big battery for all-day battery life, and the display is eminently sunlight-readable. It's ju

Setting up my Voron 2.4 was probably a solid week of work. The parts are cheap but the assembly and tuning is a killer. I'm looking at pre-assembled printers to add additional printers to my fleet, because I'm not keen to repeat t

Hetzner deleted my dedicated server a couple of days after signup, and banned my account. A friend had the same experience. At least I didn't get charged anything for it (IIRC billing happens at the end-of-month). I even went through t

Wow, here in New Zealand I'm only paying 10 NZD/month (8.04 CAD), grandfathered in from when it used to be a Google Play Music subscription. It's fantastic value for that price, but I would definitely think twice at 30 CAD&#x

PlatformIO is a dream for this, running build on a project automatically downloads the required toolchains for the target and orchestrates the build process for you.

S3: Upload bandwidth is free, download is what I'd consider to be astronomical at $0.09/GB ($90/TB). Geez, that's really not improving the comparison with Tarsnap.
