Also I feel confident Prusa will not try a rug-pull enshitification move in 6 months time after buying their printer, unlike certain other manufacturers (Bamboo)
Yeah that was my assumption. But I hadn't considered WOL being broadcast, so now I'm not so sure. I would assume it's broadcast on both IP and Ethernet layer. It's time to do some wiresharking :)
Maybe something else going on then, but ive never gotten WOL to work after a blackout when there's two switches between sender and receiver. After powering up the receiver once, WOL works again
If you're already using node-red, the Wake On Lan node works well, and with node-red it's easy to trigger the magic packet based on whatever trigger condition you want.
The only limitation I know is WOL doesn't work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn't know where to find the target machine
Thanks for the tips on reusable enterprise cards btw
In math class when learning statistics we learned "the law of large numbers" , how with enough samples the average approaches the probability. Then applied it to two real world examples, gambling (lottery and roulette) and insurance. The math was the same, and the house always wins because the house deals in large numbers.
The takeaway is that gambling is stupid because the house always wins.
But also, statistics do not apply to individuals, so insurance is not stupid. At least not for life-altering expenses, like home, medical and traffic.
The 'old' Phillips is not the same as the current. The original Phillips is now doing medical equipment mainly, selling to hospitals etc. Phillips Lighting is now Signify, though as far as I can tell that's still a Dutch company. Phillips consumer electronics where spun of and sold out, to a Chinese buyer I believe. TVs and monitors I think were sold out separately from general consumer electronics.
Default look n feel does feel a couple of decades outdated. But it can easily be customized to look look much more modern and comfortable.
Youtube tutorials on how to get started often begins with customizing the user interface before even starting the modeling tutorial. I recommend Deltahedra and Mangojelly on YouTube
FreeCAD, and I recommend you give it a second try, while watching the excellent tutorials from Deltahedra and Mangojelly on YouTube. Lots of the jank can be avoided if you only know how, so the tutorials are extremely useful.
FreeCAD has gotten exponentially better with each release the last few years, and both active developers and funding/donations from users have increased exponentially. The future is bright.
And unlike the "free" commercial programs, FreeCAD is immune to future rug-pulls and enshitification.

My gut reaction too. But their readme/faq makes a lot of sound points. Also Nextcloud is one of the main contributors, so you know it's serious. Also Proton and Ionos (which I admit I'd never heard of, but they seem big)
Thanks, I'll add VSCode/ium to the arsenal. I tend underutilize VSCode since Kate usually does everything needed by a text editor without all the baggage.
Their website is actually really good and well worth a read. It is both funny and poignant.
To quote their "why":
Q: What is the point of all this?
There are two points.
The first is that AB 1043's definitions are so broad that a bash script and a static website can create a regulated operating system. A law that cannot distinguish between Apple Inc. and a shell script has a drafting problem. A law that sweeps in 600+ volunteer Linux distributions was not written with them in mind. A law that was not written with them in mind but regulates them anyway is not a careful law.
The second is that this law was never meant to be enforced against everyone it covers. It was meant to be enforced selectively. The large platform companies already comply. The small ones can't. The Attorney General has sole enforcement discretion. A law that gives a single office the power to selectively impose $7,500-per-child fines against any operating system distributor in the state — while ensuring that only the largest corporations can avoid liability — is not a child safety measure. It is a tool for selective prosecution. The children are the justification. The discretion is the product.
We are trying to make the selective part difficult. If the AG wants to enforce AB 1043, we would like to be first in line. We are a clear violation. We are documented. We are findable. We are daring them. If the law is worth enforcing, enforce it against us. If it is not worth enforcing against us, ask why it exists.
Flip the classroom: Each student watches the lecture at home at their own pace (with individual pause and rewind). Assignment are done as during interactive classroom sessions, not as homework
I still have a couple DVD drives. They're both disconnected because the PCs they're in both got new motherboards at some point in time without an IDE plug 😅
All of them. Not directly, but RAM and SSD price explosions hurt. Also buying electricity for my home heater from the same market as billion dollar data centers hurt too
The bing index is one of their sources for search results (although a major one yes).
