Volvo cars (not AB Volvo, the trucks, boats, and excavators maker) was sold to Ford and then to Chinese Geely. A lot of modern Volvo cars are therefore designed and engineered elsewhere to various degrees. Some are even wholly designed and

They do. Some are still designed/engineered here in Sweden. Some are not. I don’t know about this one. All trucks, boats, excavators etc. are still Swedish though.

As a side note. Beware when exporting to the USA using UPS. Especially when having the receiver pay for imports and taxes. UPS does not enforce payment. They will hand out the package before receiving the taxes and tolls. Then, they force y

According to Hardware Unboxed this problem goes away with the new generation displays. They are switching over to using a standard (LCD-like) striped pixel layout. https://youtu.be/c90FLTWQiSY Must say my first generation S

Huu. I had the opposite experience almost. I’m a complete Linux noob. Could not get Bazzite to work as expected. Had much better luck with Arch though the install was a bit archaic. Managed to get a desktop and Steam installed with all driv

The problem isn’t Norway. The problem is everywhere else allowing the amassing of incredible wealth with suspiciously low taxation. But we can’t even agree on a common minimum corporate tax. So yeah. Go Norway. Shame on everyone else.

The nice thing with KiCAD is that a part is simply a symbol (schematic element) with enough parameters attached. You can specify footprints, MPN, ratings, value, etc. then store it in your approved and verified symbol library for use in all

I don’t think you’ve used KiCAD. Simply add an MPN attribute to your component and that is it. Use the built in BOM editor and exporter. Done. There are certainly ways to misuse any advanced software. But it definitely can and will produce

I find it fascinating that the same is true for frame rate. Some people think 60Hz is OK, while anyone who has tried a 120Hz screen will agree it is infinitely smoother. The same is true again for a 240Hz screen. I have yet to try a 480Hz s

On that note, my last PCBway order took four weeks to arrive. Dunno if it was a random fluke, but it sure came with more border regulations incantations attached to the box than usual.

Wait, hold on. Is this actually an issue that needs a solution? It feels like Wayland is doing something very stupid here. Why not let apps control their windows? I cannot remember when an app stole focus last time. The only time this makes

This is purely anecdotal, but I think I’ve seen ChatGPT insert special space characters other than normal space. It also likes to use the different dash characters (en, em and hyphen) more than would appear in normal text.

I don’t understand why electrical grids are so problematic, but they seem plagued by corruption, incompetence, and poor planning everywhere. Here in Sweden the grids was built by taxpayers and then sold off to a private company for maintena

I really like that USB port. It can probably be made to work in both directions (like USB-C). Does it require a special PCB thickness that is hard to come by?

I would highly recommend looking into Azure code signing. It is confusing to set up. But comes with instant reputation and ”only” costs 10$ a month. EV certificates has always felt like an utter scam and extortion to me. At least now there

Some countries (Poland?) has experimented with banning advertising in public spaces. Think bill boards. This has lead to very clean and good looking cities. I don’t think the it’s unreasonable to ban ads in other places too.

Aisler is pretty good for prototyping. Wurth also supplies PCBs (with fantastic quality.)

Sometimes we need to give awesome tools to creative people and see what they come up with, even when we don't understand the implications ourselves. I think millimeter accurate GPS is one of those tools. It has the power to enable so m

I've been trying to figure out how end-to-end encrypted communication is supposed to work in these apps. From what I can gather you need two things, a central server, and public key encryption. To start a conversation your first task i

Maybe you've been living under the same rock as me. I was under a similar impression untill I decided to learn cmake last week. I was blown away by its simplicity and power. You can download almost any C/C++ library from GitHub th

I would consider that an issue with the software. Non-manifold models, or self-intersecting models, are not suitable for 3D printing. This is an issue with the model rather than the file format. If 3MF somehow makes self-intersection, and n

STL works everywhere. Is trivial to parse. And can contain both colors and units [0]. Is there anything stopping us from having multiple solids per file? If not, I don't see the reason for another format. The mentioned benefit of havin

Does anyone know of a similar product? I'm particularly impressed by the built in UPS and five bay storage.

This is true. Could we not disregard requests without an origin header? According to [0] we can force CORS behaviour be using a non-simple request in our webapp. By setting the mime type to JSON for example. 0: https://developer.

How is this different from the origin header? Does the origin header not tell the webbserver if the requested originated from the same website? Is the origin header flawed in some way?
