Phew... This isn't related to the developer Monolith SOFT.
Had me sweating a bit there
Still waiting for the liquid metal replacement to the phase change pad. There has been reports of overheating issues for a long time now and Framework finally acknowledged it.
Use power settings
Problem solved.

#3 for me. Keeps my handwriting just a little bit more legible.
#4 doesn't work for my writing style it seems. I end up wearing large flats on the lead anyways.
But first.... Halo theme song
Never tried those but I have experience with xeroshoes walking half marathon distances multiple times a week.
It wore a fairly significant cavity where my callus/balls of my feet is... Lasted maybe 2 months?
I'm exploring more options myself so I'll have to give the Lem brand a try.
Let's see... Can we draw circles in a convenient manner yet?
Bored people can now tune into (source of entertainment) instead of learning.
I don't think the capacity for intelligence has dropped significantly, rather we as a society dedicate our time differently.
Prototrak is extremely wide spread, it might be harder to find a shop without some form of their machines these days.
As for transferring conversational programming knowledge between different machines tools.... Somewhat. You will need familiarity with all the preparatory code like g40,g80,g17..etc . But a lot of machines these days come with a form of conversational programming... FAPT, shopmill/shopTurn, mazatrol, visual quick.
Once you figure out what the machine tools are expecting, then a lot of the code and it's placement becomes second nature.
I don't have a unique opinion to post if the thread isn't early enough. And the communities that I can provide expert opinions are basically deserted.
Ace combat 4, 5, and Zero
I have multiple languages on gboard...If you're too slow with the swipe it will open up the language selection menu. There are a total of three buttons to switch languages
I'm kind of in the same struggle... Can't transition from parametric CAD to a direct modeling software like blender. Years of autoCad, Solidworks, Siemens NX, and even a bit of Catia. Not being able to directly communicate something with exactness was strangely overwhelming. Also, I remember when I accidentally started creating a fractal of split windows in blender's older UI.
Weird feature I used blender was for a video editor (NLE) before Davinci Resolve/openshot became popular. That surprisingly was easy to use.
Now there's more pressing need for Blender because of its python scripting capabilities. It actually used as an engineering tool.
...okay. I'm going to do that doughnut tutorial right now!
Drakenguard 3, Nier.
Looks like their mail totes but upside-down.
I like the aesthetics and color scheme.
Just a really faint memory but I recall during COVID there was big negativity with USPS not doing their due diligence to select the best option and some other shady USPS dealings at the time.
I wonder if they changed the proposed vehicle since then.
Ehhh....as a Linux beginner on Ubuntu I disagree... I spent a couple hours trying to get an AppImage application as a desktop icon.
Spent an additional hour or two to mount NAS drives. Fstab?? Wtf.
My secondary monitor flickers to black randomly for a just couple minutes after startup and there's no way I'm going to dig through Wayland to figure out why. Monitor orientation is incorrect on startup and I again don't want to dig through Wayland or whatever cfg file I need to open.....yet.
Still needed to browse at least 5 different sources for answers.
I'm glad Firefox doesn't crash at 500 tabs or w/e but Linux still has issues with some primitive tasks that windows has well figured out.
Trump believes Taiwan "stole" chip making technology from the states. And judging from most Republican's general stupidity on this matter... They think majority of the semiconductors are produced in China. Because to them Taiwan == China.
No microwave?
There's CNC programming... And then there's Programming CNC's
There's so much untapped potential with a probing system and macros that aren't being utilized at all.
This video demonstrates how powerful a quality machine and probing can be towards a future of automation and simplifying incredibly difficult setups.
What gets me unsettled but also inspired is... This isn't entirely limited to the machine tool or probing system demonstrated on the video. We can do this NOW. Existing machines are entirely capable of exploiting their probing systems beyond their usual simplistic usage (part pickup, measurement). And the only thing really lacking is the brains to figure out all the heavy duty math.
"A strive for continuous improvement" vs "good enough". How Japanese quality came to trump America post-ww2
I thought this was an extremely insightful documentary about why "Made in Japan" speaks volumes about quality versus the "Made in USA" counterpart. We as machinists are an intimate and integral component to the quality chain. Look around you, Japanese machines and tools dominate the precision market. Okuma, Yasda, Makino, Mazak, Mitsui-Seiki, dmg Mori (the Mori Part at least). While All American brands with the exception of Hardinge are left as a 'value' brand.
I never really liked the phrase "it's good enough". It always gives the impression to me that they've never really had to put something together and have it perform. I hear this all too much in job shops that make parts rather than assemblies. Never in Tool & Die. Sure, the component has a .010" tolerance but if the machinist was to hold everything within .001 or less, it makes assembly work a lot more consistent and predictable.
The linked video is part 2 of a 3 part video series.

CNC machine go BRRRRRR
Roders are some impressive machines. Wonder what kind of accuracy the machine is capable at that velocity.
What kind of workholding is this?

The material being cut is PEEK Glass-Fiber 30%. It looks like it's fixtured to a Delrin block some how.. Any ideas on this black magic?
Glue? Threaded from the bottom up?
How does one...Rough?
Running into a dilemma...
I have no trouble ending up with an accurate finished part with really tricky features.
BUT...BUT I can't figure how to quickly develop a roughing strategy. I'm always doing short run items so I don't have many opportunities to be hogging out material repeatedly. So, when I get a 1pc job that needs a lot of material removed, I'm very slow.
To a point, where I'm getting micromanaged.... on roughing.
I'm inclined to be safe and prioritize process stability over Material removal rate. For example in HEM, Instead of doing 10% stepovers, i'll do 6%. In turning, I'll keep DOC down on the bottom left end of recommended specs instead of burying past the insert radius. I don't get off on huge MRR like others, my moment of glory is hitting incredible tolerances on a difficult design/material.
What really scares me is... that a mistake in roughing parameters comes with bigger risk than just "tighten the bolt until it loosens up and quarter turn back". It's the p
So uhh.. how often should I be washing me towels?
Following the prior Lemmy post about towels...
I wash once a week, is that sufficient or need I more frequency?
Compact 6 inch parallel holder
6.875" x 5"
I used to lug the shipping crate of a case around but I needed all the space I can get in my toolbox. Also tried to make this a one-handed design. Press down into the cavity with my pinky and pick up what I need with the index and thumb.

Unique way to have Subspindle as both tailstock and second spindle work.
I'll be keeping this one in my toolbox of "out of the box" solutions.
Mandatory security check followed by a long travel to area of work. When do you clock in?
I'm in a situation with my manager who is suggesting that clock-in starts when the employee arrives to the site of work. Effectively saying that everyone should be coming in 15 minutes earlier than their start time.
The majority of what I read online was about security checks when leaving the premises instead of entering. And the results of a couple class actions seem like the law has loose interpretation.
Wondering what your experiences have been like dealing with this situation. Are you paid for your time traveling on company premises?
For ref this takes place in California.

Nandert - 2023 Update on LA Metro Projects
Nandert is in my opinion the best channel for Los Angeles county metro projects.
DT1900 PRO Found the source for creaking/rattling and a solution.
I've owned the DT 1990 Pro for a couple years now and it's absolutely the best set of headphones I've ever used. But fairly recently the creaking issues that many other users reported have crept up to me.
Basically anytime I moved my head around I would hear what sounded like a piece of plastic being rubbed against another piece and causing creaking noises. I tried to tolerate it but alas it was too much.
The Problem
The molded plastic of the earcup and the plastic frame of the driver are sitting in a way to cause minute rocking when the headband flexes the earcup from head movement. Imagine the outer plastic as an ellipse and the driver as a circle within the ellipse. The circular driver will be free to rock within the ellipse shape of the outer plastic. Even if the driver finds a point to settle,

Please subscribe to nandert if you're interested about the politics behind SoCal railroads. I'm really fond of his channel because it's incredibly rare for a creator to be so knowledgeable about the local politics and measures going on. And many of his videos are a call-to-action unlike info dumps of other urban city planning youtube channels.
