  • What's your hot sauce of choice?

    Jump

  • Not sure it counts as hot sauce but a chili oil like Lao Gan Ma is my favourite. Otherwise when I do use hot sauce my favourites are Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo, Tabasco Chipotle, and Secret Aardvark.

  • maybe, just maybe if we didn't move the same settings 1-2 layers deeper behind some UI bullshit we wouldn't have to look for it.

    This trend pisses me off so much. Companies need to learn that for settings I'm likely to have to change they need to minimize the number of actions to change it. But people in all these companies find the need to reorganize things to make it seem like they are accomplishing something.

  • Found This (and more in post) at the Cracker Barrel (US Restaurant and Gift Store Chain)

  • I have a feeling that in many cases people’s work is being abused.

    Yeah, a couple years ago I saw a stand at a flea market selling 3D prints. Took me all of 2 minutes to find the original at home with a non-commercial license.

  • 3D Printed Downspout Makes Life Just A Little Nicer

    Jump

  • It is all rectangular items around it, wouldn't be difficult to measure out the environment and route the design around it. Good CAD tools have cable routing tools that can assist with this as well.

  • People who live in touristic areas, what are the rudest behaviours you've seen among tourists?

  • Until I got to the specific shit I thought this was going to end with a punchline about Canada geese.

  • This has gotten so bad in my city since covid times. I'm constantly having to go around people stopped in the middle of the walking path. Just yesterday I was walking and these two people exactly stopped where the sidewalk narrowed for a bus stop and were blocking 3/4 of the area to walk because of it. They literally could have stepped 2 steps over and been completely out of the way beside the bus stop shelter.

  • How do I make a product?

    Jump

  • 10+ years experience in product design here. There is nothing about a "simple" product that is cheap or easy. Say you hire a design engineering firm to design it, who is going to make the parts? Have you ever worked with manufacturing in Asia? Who is going to assemble it? Who deals with the inevitable issues?

    Then you have to think about selling it. What certifications do you have to get?

    That is just hardware, now repeat many of these same questions for firmware and app development.

    Now you have a product, what are the customers and who do you need to hire to market and sell to them? Assuming someone is interested in purchasing it how much money do you have to pay for all the product up front and warehouse it?

    There is a damn good reason why so many Kickstarter projects never actually ship. Hardware is hard even if you know what you are doing.

  • Elections Canada says more than 19.5M voters cast a ballot in federal election

    Jump

  • Sad that in the most consequential election in most Canadian's lifetimes that more than 3 in 10 decided to stay home.

  • shearing on outer walls with PETG in a bambu p1p

    Jump

  • Run a temp tower if you are worried about it, but I run all PETG at 265 on my P1S. 255 will tear like you show and print matte which means it isn't properly melted.

  • shearing on outer walls with PETG in a bambu p1p

    Jump

  • Wrong way to adjust, try printing at 265 and keep the part fan on ( aux fan off).

  • shearing on outer walls with PETG in a bambu p1p

    Jump

  • That the default petg profile? Bump up your temperature by 10C and try again. Their PETG profile is too cold for the flow rate.

  • cannot get an even first layer with a voron trident

    Jump

  • 0.2mm flatness is very flat for a 3D Printer bed, I don't even know if I achieved that with the Nylock mod on my old Prusa. This simply looks like a bed adhesion problem, clean your bed well with dish soap and water and then rinse well and make sure you don't toch the surface. Check the first layer height and bed temp as well.

  • Stepping up from Tinkercad but to what?

    Jump

  • Yeah I recently started switching from SolidWorks to Creo in a professional setting, it is amazing how slow and clunky SolidWorks feels in comparison. The downside is that Creo doesn't hold your hand at all so you better know what you are doing.

    Coming from that side, I have a hard time with the free/inexpensive options available for makers, they just don't work nearly as well.

  • My imaginary children aren’t using your streaming service – Terence Eden’s Blog

    Jump

  • This is pretty minor on the scale of enshittification that it happening in pretty much every tech product, but stuff like this is just an example of features being added so someone at the company can point to "improving" the product (so they can point to it during raise or promotion time), because it is safer for kids ignoring that it degrades user experience for a large portion of the customer base.

    Unfortunately we've lost our attitude that parents should actually parent and supervise their children. So instead they force everyone to deal with it.

  • Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up

    Jump

  • This isn't new though, I landed after a long flight last year and had a notification asking me to confirm rebooking to another flight because mine was delayed.

    Turns out that no the flight wasn't delayed and luckily I mentioned it when dropping my bag because a person had to sort it out for me and rebooked me back on my original flight that was on time. So now I don't trust the technology at all.

  • A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy

    Jump

  • Nope, I've long worked in designing for North American electronics manufacturing, it's still manual. We just outsource as many of those sub assemblies as possible to cheaper countries and design things with as few fasteners as possible.

    That really is the least of the worries, there just isn't the manufacturing infrastructure for all the raw material and individual parts, manufacturing those parts just isn't feasible to do at a reasonable cost or schedule outside of Asia. China is still popular not due to cost, they are no longer cheapest, but because they have the infrastructure in place.

  • How do you feel when someone apologises too much?

    Jump

  • Obsessive apologizing makes a person appear not confident in themselves. If it is a person I care about I want them to be confident in themselves.

    Additionally the more you repeat something the less meaning it has. So if someone apologizes too much for things that really don't necessitate an apology when they have something they genuinely need to show remorse for and apologize for the apology holds less meaning.

  • Samsung’s latest stick vac can alert you to calls and text messages

    Jump

  • Some crappy product manager found some agreeable "tech enthusiasts" and/or worded their research questions in such a way that made it seem like this would be a net positive to the sales/profit of the product.

    The engineers who had to design this terrible product were probably making jokes about it all the time.

  • Gmail Is Now Using AI to Sort 'More Relevant' Results, But You Can Turn It Off

    Jump

  • I don't see how this could be worse than the current Gmail search. I have to use the sync tool to Outlook for my work email because outlook's search is so much better.
