I'm in the same boat! I got tired of the constant enshittification of Fusion360 and started learning FreeCAD. And wow! it's way less intuitive. But I think I'll push through, as I don't want anything but open-source for this. The reason being that I don't want the same thing to happen again: I spend an unholy amount of time learning how to use a CAD software, and then it becomes the hottest steaming pile of corporate shit possible and I don't want to use it anymore. That's why I haven't even started looking at OnShape. With open-source the biggest risk is that the same thing might happen if the project gets abandoned, but it doesn't seem to be the case for FreeCAD (at least in the foreseeable future). In any case, I'm interested in hearing what others have to say :)

Stephen Hawes

He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.

Alexandre Chappel

He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen's, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

Also, if the ads where in different parts of the video every time, it would not be possible to use SponsorBlock for them :(

I don't really care for this product. It's another unnecessary AI assistant. What I'm struggling to understand is why it matters which platform it's been built on. What difference would it make if they wrote an entire OS from scratch only for this device instead of using Android, if the end product would be the same?

I've tried it in iOS, and spent a lot of time fiddling with the settings, but for the life of me I can't get a decent resolution from it. I get very distant points and I was no able to improve it, so I gave up :(

Same here! And I have the exact same questions as you. I can't see why that's racist or disrespectful, but I'd like to hear other points of view.

Not so long ago I had the same question myself, and I ended up setting 1 Postgress instance and 1 MySQL instance for all services to share. In the long run, I had so many version and settings incompatibilities across services that moved back to one DB per service that is tuned specifically for it. Also, I add a backup app to all my docker compose files that have a DB in it. This way, backups happen periodically and automatically.
