Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why in c/[email protected]

I didn't get a single knock last night.

Spooky decorations, LED candles, WLED providing backup lighting, 12 XL Hershey bars with frozen Snickers as backup.

Not. One. Knock.

Fuck em -- we'll be eating smores all winter. 🤷

Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller in c/[email protected]

You can avoid that by not using MS controllers in Linux, or using old controllers with a cable. My Retropie has xbox 360 controller support compiled in and every controller works OOB.

Aptera completes low-speed drive in its first production-intent solar electric vehicle in c/[email protected]

It’s also a bit strange to see a production-intent build of a solar electric vehicle without any solar panels. Still, Aptera shared that technology will be implemented next alongside the SEV’s production-intent thermal management system and exterior surfaces.

This thing is pure vaporware. My new Leaf isn't.

Raspberry Pi OS’s yearslong switch from X Window to Wayland is now official in c/linux

Back up and running without any fuss. I think all the packages are installed by default in a new flash so all I needed to do was select labwc in the raspi-config menu.

it looks like labwc isn't installed by default on older installs. My debian 11 install is all bjorked but thankfully its just a kiosk so I am reinstalling with 12 now.

Has anyone tried this yet? I don't have any desktop Pi's at this house.

[e]Wait I forgot one of my HA panels is a pi 4 ill update and report back. I'm especially interested in the touchscreen support being improved.

That's exactly what it is. Astroturfing is real.

Research perhaps with real information about aliens abducting and exploiting people. Picture in post perhaps also prove these aliens are real. More info with a text document and other files in links. in c/[email protected]

Stop doing meth and posting this claptrap. Cletus doesn't have any special insight to exobiology let alone advanced alien life. If there were aliens visiting earth, theres 6 billion HD cameras all over earth. Where's the proof??

No one gives a shit about your YouTube. My dog has more subs.

Newbie Q -- Best Design Practices?? (lemmy.zip)
 

I have become fairly proficient with OnShape thanks to their free courses and while I am fairly competent with the controls and achieving something serviceable, I would really love to get into learning more about CAD/product design best practices.

There's probably a class or two in freshman engineering that gets into this stuff but I am mostly picking things up through trial and error. I am mostly just poorly imitating stuff I have seen after a few decades of taking things apart and occasionally putting them back together.

Like: How should I design two parts to fit together optimally? How should I decide what kind of hardware and why, or where? Screws? Bolts? Glue? Holes, where and why? What are some things to look out for when designing universal parts?

Also, are there any good references for working with PLA? I have a good sense of what things will look like after slicing and have got pretty good at making things that will print well and be strong but I could always use more references.
