3·29 days agoFreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360
I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.

But yeah a fuckton is probably slop either way

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•External HDD docking station + laptop/SFF/thin client vs ATX tower w/ internal mounts for NAS?English
2·1 month agoThere’s a few options now, but you can get Intel N100 ITX boards Like this one from ASUS with a soldered on N100 CPU for the cost of a normal motherboard.
If its just a NAS, and I do recommend having a separate Just a NAS, that CPU fucks hard.
I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That’s all I need.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the best reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?
4·2 months agoOh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?
So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.
“Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”
“Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”
Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.

4·3 months agoWhat are you talking about? When was the last time you tried this?
And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.
Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120
That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.
There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

Technology@lemmy.world•Automattic CEO calls Tumblr his 'biggest failure' so farEnglish
3·3 months agoTo be fair, IF tumblr had added the tipping feature while porn was huge on the site, it might have became Onlyfans.
OF wasn’t always a porn site. It was trying to be a Patron that allowed adult content, but it became just a porn site.
I argue something similar would have happened to tumblr

Tap for spoiler
He isn’t involved in much except investing in mobility aides and was apparently on the Planned Parenthood board for a while.
Quick search showed his most recent activity was being the single largest donor to Mark Kelly’s 2020 senate campaign.
Completely normal progressive liberal stuff.

Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.
I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3
That’s basically what I’m going for.
How are you connecting the mini PC via SATA and how are you powering the BOD?

Technology@lemmy.world•4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety ActEnglish
1·3 months agoIts probably a parent company situation.
Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.
The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.
Capitalism baby!

2·3 months agoProbably why they didn’t do it in the first place.
They barely pay for moderation. Who is going to pay for that survey? And also why would they? Obviously most of the people on that site are under 18. That’s when I used it.
What other demographic clicks the horny ads they run?
