The original picture

And some more pictures

A guy walk into a bar and pulls out a scale model of a grand piano, as well as a wooden puppet. The puppet immediately animates and starts playing the piano.

After a perfect performance of Mozart’s piano sonata No.11, the puppet gets up, bows to the audience and falls lifeless to the ground. Everyone is astounded.

The bartender asks the guy: “That was great! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get a puppet like this?”

The guy hands him an old golden oil lamp. “You see, I found this lamp. If you rub it and say what you want, a genie pops out and grants the wish. Give it a try, if you want!”

The bartender is sceptical, but tries anyway. “I wish for a million bucks!” Immediately the bar is filled with a giant flock of ducks. On the tables, on the bar, on the ground, ducks are everywhere.

“What the fuck?! That’s not what I asked for!”

The guy chuckles. “O yeah, the genie is hard of hearing. Did you really think I asked for an eight inch pianist?”

My university used Artemis to do basically what you’re describing. Files are uploaded via git. But it seems like selfhosting would be a lot of work.

He proposes the cloud be owned by communities, so in a way by everyone. That’s not the same everything being owned by private companies.

This seems to be an engineering sample CPU. Since these are pre-production, that could mean it’s basically a fully functional CPU. It could also have serious issues.

Found it!

You can use most of the connectors you would use for bigger wires. Wago lever nuts are rated for conductors as small as 0.14 mm².

If you want something to fit a din rail, standard terminal blocks (something like this) should also work.

Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of.

Unpopular opinion: The license makes sense and should have been enforced from the start.

The Benchy is a benchmarking tool, not just visually but there are also various features you can measure and check against the dimensions on the website. But that doesn’t work if the model you’re printing has been modified.

If it looks like a beachy, it should have been printed from the original model, so it’s always comparable. Preventing derivatives means you can be sure of that, even if it came on the included SD card with your printer. Otherwise, manufacturers could include a modified model that makes their printers look better than they are.

HiPER Calc Pro. A great scientific calculator I use constantly. (There is also a unpaid, ad-supported version, and the ads weren’t too intrusive the last time I tried it)

This seems to be a bug in the slicer. I’m seeing the same issue in OrcaSlicer if the skirt height is set to more than one layer (even if the skirt is disabled). This makes sense if a skirt is used (can’t print a continuous spiral if you have to switch between printing the object and the skirt), but not if it’s disabled.

What slicer are you using? If it’s a PrusaSlicer fork, this is likely the same bug.

Do you expect every meme to be meticulously handcrafted? It’s a stupid joke, not a work of art.

Close, but the word ends in -le, not -ie. The -le suffix is used as a diminutive form in some German dialects.

A small pair of vernier calipers. I don’t use them a lot, but sometimes they come in very handy.

My router is called Jupiter, everything connected to it is named after a moon. Callisto, Ganymede, Thelxinoe, Kallichore are what I’m currently using.

IIRC, this is actually done at some point in the books.

You can host a Firefox sync server yourself. You could run that on something like a Raspberry Pi in your local network. If you need remote access, use something like cloudflare tunnels (although I guess that’s something else to be paranoid about).

Windows is clearly superior. If you’ve had enough of the settings app, you can just switch to the control center!
