  • FreeCAD Make-A-Box Generator

    Jump

  • I have a few parametric projects I posed on my github:

    https://github.com/profdc9/FreeCADParametricModels

    One of them is called "Memorybox" and is a gift box I made that has parametrically definable dimensions, and the text embossed on it can be changed as well.

  • Alexei Navalny Sacrificed Himself to Show Russia That Putin Is a Monster

    Jump

  • Sergei Magnitsky already did this in 2009, but I suppose we needed a reminder.

  • Ukraine appears to be attacking Russia's oil-and-gas industry with small, cheap drones that can bypass its air defenses

    Jump

  • In the hands of an ally like Ukraine, this is a powerful tool to bring the fight to the enemy.

    However, in the bigger picture, this is probably going to be much more effective in asymmetric warfare against a major power like the United States or Russia as tragically shown in Jordan because it's too easy for small actors to deploy. Big targets are much more vulnerable than small, mobile targets in such warfare.

  • What's he saying? And it's not like he can see what his words are doing down below.

  • Given that Microsoft software runs the government, I don't see this happening very soon. They might as well be another branch of the US government.

  • Can't wait for the subscription based Pi.

  • NSA is buying Americans' internet browsing records without a warrant

    Jump

  • It's quite likely a lot of Americans' data is already being stored and perhaps mined in the Utah Data Center.

    I would just assume your data could be there unless your computer has never been connected to the Internet. It's simply too easy to hide surveillance in the processor (in the form of remote administration capabilities), the operating system (with remote updates), or the browser, or in the numerous security holes or likely zero-day exploits out there. The state of computer security is an absolute joke, and your 4096-bit RSA key is not keeping your data safe.

  • The NSA does not need money from asset forfeiture. This is one of the stupidest accusations I've heard of NSA. They have to be careful about how they use their intelligence to keep potential targets unaware of what they can or are snooping on. This would be the stupidest and most pointless use of their intelligence. Anyone they would share intelligence with must do so with the most absolute secrecy, and municipal and state law enforcement generally does not qualify. This doesn't mean they're not acting unlawfully, but knowing if they are is going to next to impossible.

  • NASA lost contact with its Mars helicopter

    Jump

  • You've got to point your dish at Mars first, otherwise you can't hear it.

  • HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies

    Jump

  • Don't worry, they'll destroy their printers for you, so you have to buy new ones.

  • TIL the middle finger was used offensively from 423 BC

    Jump

  • Hard to believe that in 500 years a 2500 year old hand gesture will change meaning.

  • TIL - Linux supports tilted monitors... apparently 22° is best

    Jump

  • This way if you align your monitor with the rotational axis of the Earth, the image appears to sit still in space.

  • The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January

    Jump

  • Lithium makes more sense when weight is an issue, for example when you have to carry the battery around. Sodium batteries could be good for grid storage if they can be implemented as scale cheaply enough, especially using common materials.

  • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

    Jump

  • But wouldn't they make more money by not requiring a subscription and having many more viewers? They will get paid for showing ads, not collecting Prime subscriptions.

  • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

    Jump

  • These companies have to compete in a higher interest rate environment. Otherwise their stock will fall and they won't be able to refinance debt. The free money era is over.

  • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

    Jump

  • If there are commercials, why should someone need an Amazon Prime membership at all? It becomes just like broadcast TV then, and they should just allow anyone to watch to maximize revenue. They have all this AWS infrastructure to deliver video, why not maximize the use of it?

  • Israeli strike in Syria kills Iranian commander, Iran says

  • Probably trying to deter Hezbollah as well.
