Not the author, but PLA has a glass transition temperature of around 60 degrees, which in layman's terms is when it starts to melt. However, depending on the quality of the printing process, layers start separating/the print is pliable significantly lower, at around 35-40 degrees. This means that in countries where you get 30+ degree summers, PLA is not really suitable for anything which experiences any kind of stress. I would hazard a guess that the standing laptop can cause quite a bit of stress when the train starts/stops.
It should be mentioned that as far as I can tell pretty much no one is selling pure PLA filament. They all have additives, so who knows what the actual glass transition temperature is for any random given filament. This has been true for a while too. Pure PLA has some properly awful properties, among which is it having pretty much no elastic deformation. Any amount of force will introduce microscopic cracks. The various additives reduce these kinds of issues and are therefore not really optional.
If you are using MacOS, unfortunately, your issue is that you are using a 1440p monitor, not an issue with any one program.
Apple has removed support for font rendering methods which make text on non-integer scaled screens look sharper. As a result, if you want to use your screen without blurry text, you have to use 1080p (1x), 4k (2x 1080p), 5k (2x 1440p) or 6k screens (or any other screens where integer scaling looks ok).
To see the difference, try connecting a Windows/Linux machine to your monitor and comparing how text looks compared to the same screen with a MacOS device.
This comment is incorrect, I have tried the editor on both MacOS and Linux, and texts looks like crap on both if you're using your screen at its native resolution. The difference is easily visible in screenshots.
native resolution on any monitor should work fine on MacOS.
using pixel fonts on any non-integer multiplier of the native resolution will always result in horrible font rendering, I don't care what OS you're on.
I use MacOS on all kinds of displays as I move throughout the day, some of them are 1x, some are 2x, and some are somewhere in between. using a vector font in Zed looks fine on all of them. It did not look fine when I used a pixel font that I created for myself, but that's how pixel fonts work, not the fault of MacOS.
Both hinting and subpixel rendering are things on MacOS. MacOS just doesn’t color the pixel for LCDs like Windows does, because the GUI on MacOS is resolution independent.
It is greyscale font rendering, yes, but it is coloring those pixels based on subpixel information.
You must have had a bad luck/small sample size as majority of consumer routers can be flashed to OpenWRT by selecting the firmware file on the admin page and letting do its thing the exact same way as the original manufacturer update, or by using a TFTP recovery. From the top of my head, I recall only Xiaomi routers needing to be rooted/exploited.
This is unfortunately not true and a result of Intel's obfuscatory tactics. The socket has been the same in subsequent generations, but you needed to buy a new motherboard because the chipset supposedly did not support the newer CPUs [0]. An example of this is the socket 1151 generation. This socket was named 1151-1 and 1151-2 in later years due to this tactic. When Intel was on their high horse (2010-2018) they generally supported 1-2 generations per socket.
To add to this: some motherboards could support newer cpus via a patch to the bios or embedded controller firmware... meaning that the incompatibilities were/are completely artificial.
Have you encountered any that work like this? In my small sample (n~5, Europe), all capacitive cooktops turn off whenever you spill something on the controls.
Which, while better than buning your house down, is still needlessly annoying.
What I really want is for the controls to not be on the cooking surface at all but that only seems to be available for stovetop + oven combinations which have their own annoying limitations.
This saddens me greatly. In my opinion, Tachiyomi is a crown jewel amongst mobile applications — a lot of my friends have not switched to iOS because of it, which should tell you something. I would like to thank the creators and everyone else who worked on Tachiyomi and wish them good luck with whatever comes next for them. Their work has made a small, but significant impact on me both as a manga reader and as a developer.
I'm one of those that cited it as literally one of two apps that I will never switch to iOS over. I sincerely hope the community picks it up and continues it. It's easily one of the best apps I've ever used.
Same here. Been on android for several years now mostly because of Tachiyomi (and also KeepassDX, which is an amazing keepass implemenation for Android. I recommend you check it out if you are a keepass user).
Think about it a bit more. You still need wires for power, you can’t be swapping batteries in car accessories as you can in your home. If you are already running wires for power, running 1-2 more for data is not that problematic, you are already running the harness. In addition, you don’t want the latency and unreliability of wireless solutions in a car. It might be ok in your home, but not in a pretty rough environment such as your car. It would also be much more expensive both hardware and software wise, not even mentioning the potential bugs and such.
Exactly. The HW is pretty cheap but no HW is cheaper.
It has a ripple effect for other parts.
Button for everybody: More expensive and can't be sold as a package
Button optional: No Button -> Hole in plastic molded cover -> Either need different molds/parts or an additional preparation step removing the plastic covering the hole. Car manufacturing is traditionally very low margin business and extremely streamlined. Sooner or later EVs will also end up in the same situation
Why do you think that Zelda should have stayed 2D? Some Zelda games, such as OoT, Majora's Mask and BotW to name a few, are considered to be some of the very best games ever made.
To some extent it probably depends on where you started with the games. I was about 6 or 7 when the original The Legend of Zelda came out. I had well over a decade of playing Zelda games before OOT came out, I was in college at the time. If I had been a kid when OOT came out then that, or one of the other 3D games, might have been my favorite.
This. Zero friction, though I wouldn't say I'm a casual user, there's no way I'm setting up a tether on a 8 minute Uber. With my laptop I just pull it out of my bag and go.
Tethering on macOS is super easy, your phone is just in the list of WiFi access points at the top. Not any harder than picking a WiFi AP. Kinda prefer being in the loop here since cellular data is usually metered - and as another post said, it's also nice to have a single plan instead of dealing with separate billing.
I tether my iPhone to my macBook several times a day (going to and from work on the bus). I don't know if anyone else has this experience, but my laptop will instantaneously find 30+ WiFi access points I don't care about and never use, but can take up-to a minute to find my iPhone, sometimes even with repeated 'prodding'.
> there's no way I'm setting up a tether on a 8 minute Uber.
I swipe down my quick settings bar and tap the button labeled "Hotspot". I don't even have to unlock my phone. If I have time to get my laptop out I have time to do a single swipe and tap on my phone too.
