A utility to map extruded lines/objects/shapes to STL files. For example, say you have an STL of a curved vase. You want to add a spiral to it. So you place the photo of a spiral on the object. The utility lets you decide where on the STL it’ll be placed, then you can decide the extrusion depth (positive or negative).
Possibly including some type of LLM, too. So you can import your STL, then type something like “picture of the Simpsons in the style of ancient Greek amphora vase paintings.” It’ll appear as line art on the 3D object
Note that I don’t need this, myself. You want to work on something interesting, so I thought for a few minutes and came up with this. :)
Retroarch box for your TV?
You can buy a USB blu-ray drive for like $50.
Rather than build a computer, check out NAS devices.
My Synology NAS does everything you mention except ripping, and you can rip with any computer that has an optional drive.
A NAS is lower power than a tower server, and many are designed to let you swap hard drives.
I agree, but the line is titled “country freedom rank.” Not “media freedom rank.” So the implication goes beyond what may be intended.
“Mostly free” my ass.
Weird Al called, he wants his bad joke back.
Grim Dawn is “What if a sequel to Diablo 2, but not Diablo 3?”
I don’t use apps, I disable JavaScript when I can, and I use non-megacorp web browsers that have granular security settings.
That’s not a complete solution on its own, but it’s a start.
Every distro sucks to someone.
I tried Mint on one of my laptops, and it broke as soon as I installed any updates. It also didn’t properly support the laptop’s graphics.
Manjaro installed perfectly and runs flawlessly. No issues.
So, as always, different distros for different computers for different folks.
The best distro? One that he’ll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.
You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.
You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.
Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.
I don’t like when huge, rich corporations pretend that they are an underdog.
On top of that, I don’t like when a platform bribes developers to limit their game to one platform.
You’re not wrong, but there’s also value in exploring different ways to do similar things. That’s what’s great about Linux.
Some of Canonical’s efforts may lead to failure, but that doesn’t mean they are a waste.
Also, old evidence confirms it.
It originally needed a phone number because it was originally a phone texting app.
