https://openrgb.org/ has decent hardware support

That looks amazing!

Aussie Techmoan with Ashens for good measure.

Was more a thought about if you are concerned about micro fibre particulate (what I took from your post, sorry if I misunderstood) plastic on plastic or plastic on metal are fine for sure, maybe a little exaggerated. Do wonder though about the wear of 3d printed bushings, surfaces won't be smooth, some of the glass filled nylon I've used has almost a soft surface to it, it's really hard to describe, some post processing though would probably make my (mild) concern moot though so.

Wrt composites hobbyist/prosumer grade manufacturers (some that target engineering customers in that bucket too) claim they don't experience the same warping or shrinkage in general, whether or not that's true I don't have enough information to tell you unfortunately. Have found both common types definitely have more rigidity, I use them in places where that really matters.

It's pretty common to see cheap bearings in 3d printed parts, actually mildly interesting to me that bushings don't seem to be, at least at the hobbyist level. To go further, how many designs do you see with heat set inserts or pressed in nuts?

Shit just even for filament printing, there's some solvents that get thrown around online that yeah, you really shouldn't use in a home setting, it's really easy to get things like MEK, which work, but starting to get into nasty territory for stuff that will dissolve filament.

Most people do not have adequate ppe or ventilation to deal with chemicals at home, or a fire cabinet, or even know how to find an SDS.

Semi related, lithium batteries are straight up terrifying, primary cells more than rechargeables, but same idea, I honestly hope no one ever gets to experience an actual full on cell failure, I avoided them thankfully but heard stories of just how much energy is released in even one C or D sized cell going.

On the composite filaments, abrasive filament sure sounds like a great thing to make wear surfaces out of! There's a list if things that idk if I'd print, and that'd be up there, ots oil bronze bushings are like, a buck, maybe 2? And they'll last a hell of a lot longer.

1.0 drops right when I actually have time to take vacation, scratches the same itch as some of the old Minecraft mod packs (so does factorio, I just really like building factories lol) I just really love watching things whip around.

They must be big mad still.

I'm not sure if regedit has changed much either, certainly seems like it's the same since using it in xp? Odbc windows are 100% 3.1 though.

Feel like task scheduler, event viewer and partitioning tools have been relatively static as well, but they're not as old as the odbc window. Tbh I'm not surprised that administrative/dev tools haven't had a ui change.

SW was great to use back in uni but holy hell is it full of phone home stuff and really annoying these days, I scrapped my license, they straight up wouldn't let me cancel within 30 days of renewal so I yanked my cc and "cancelled" that way.

Use FreeCAD, mentioned in a few posts, it's got some clunk but it's 100% useable, has more than enough features for prosumer/hobbyist use, personally I'd make an argument it's fine for enterprise use too, Ondsel seems to think so considering that's the market they're targeting with their releases. I'd recommend the Ondsel release or Realthunder's (what I currently use) which has features/fixes that will be merged back, and 100% look at mainline freecad when the 1.0 release drops

First and foremost, I don't know your circumstances but I can relate and I'm sorry. Your worth isn't measured by "productivity" or "what you amount to", you matter. Work Culture and general North American society isn't great for us with ADHD, all we can do is try our best. I swear to you that even when things look dark and there's no way out, it does end. I'm going to put a ramble of my experience in a spoiler.

If you have access to therapy and aren't already, it helped me immensely. Depending where you live there may be resources you can access through your health authority. We're here if you want, even just venting can be helpful.

Not just was Netscape, Mozilla was straight up founded by Netscape people https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla

On January 23, 1998, Netscape announced that its Netscape Communicator browser software would be free, and that its source code would also be free.[4] One day later, Jamie Zawinski of Netscape registered mozilla.org.[5] The project took its name, "Mozilla", from the original code name of the Netscape Navigator browser—a portmanteau of "Mosaic and Godzilla",[6] and used to coordinate the development of the Mozilla Application Suite, the free software version of Netscape's internet software, Netscape Communicator.[7][8] Zawinski said he arrived at the name "Mozilla" at a Netscape staff meeting.[9] A small group of Netscape employees were tasked with coordinating the new community.

Seriously, cinnamon rolls (at least the ones I make) are brioche and while the dough is pretty heavily butter reinforced, I wouldn't ever use greasy to describe them after baking even after frosting.

Brioche isn't supposed to be cloyingly sweet either, supposed to be subtle, I've done rolls like these from king Arthur, added sugar is 7.5% of flour.

Legit have never had an issue with multi boot and windows like ever, tbf I don't go into windows that frequently anymore but it's never given me grief in at least a decade. I know my experience isn't universal though, so sorry to anyone who does have boot issues after windows updates.

In the worst case, could use bcdedit and use the windows boot loader (tbh I have no idea if that works here, but could be worth a try)

Do you have an iPhone or any phone with lidar built in? It's been a while but I recall it being an option for scanning, make use of tools you already have. I'm not sure what exists for Foss related apps though sorry, and afaik they're not super accurate (dedicated scanners can get <0.01mm resolution from what I've seen but they're expensive) but if your goal is layout that'd do the trick in my view. Heck, as you said, camera scanning would work, there'll be cleanup but should be good enough to get you dimensions.

Another thought, could check with local makerspaces or the like, totally possible they may have scanners you could use, or could put you on the right track. Diy wise, kinects as mentioned, I'm not experienced with these but there are photogrammetry tools, micmac could work, there's meshroom but that needs some compute hardware and COLMAP could also be worth looking into

Edit: Photogrammetry is decently accurate afaik, recall sitting in a tech meeting at my last job where the process engineers from the material handling department presented a poc they did with some cheap drones and cheap cameras, they did a fly over of the pier to scan ore piles and apparently were able to get fairly accurate weight estimates from the photogrammetry results, which was really cool to me.

Some monitors have inbuilt KVM switches, have an MSI ultrawide (model escapes me sorry) I bought a few years ago that I use to flip between usbc and dp. Configurable though, could set it up to flip between HDMI and DP and assign usb to whatever one I prefer. It's way nicer than the switch + swapping inputs manually I had been using.

Seriously, had a lumia 1020, for the time its photos were fantastic, especially compared to the 4s work issued me, was never really against a camera bump tbh but it totally sold me on the idea.

Have a pixel these days and seriously impressed with what smart phone photos can look like these days, found my Sony Eriksson slide from 2006ish the other day had a memory stick in it, the photos are worse than webcam photos, really rough.

Could use Polars, afaik it supports streaming from CSVs too, and frankly the syntax is so much nicer than pandas coming from spark land.

Do you need to persist? What are you doing with them? A really common pattern for analytics is landing those in something like Parquet, Delta, less frequently seen Avro or ORC and then working right off that. If they don't change, it's an option. 100 gigs of CSVs will take some time to write to a database depending on resources, tools, db flavour, tbf writing into a compressed format takes time too, but saves you managing databases (unless you want to, just presenting some alternates)

Could look at a document db, again, will take time to ingest and index, but definitely another tool, I've touched elastic and stood up mongo before, but Solr is around and built on top of lucene which I knew elastic was but apparently so is mongo.

Edit: searchable? I'd look into a document db, it's quite literally what they're meant for, all of those I mentioned are used for enterprise search.

Postgres runs well in a container in my experience and is nice to work with, def support that. I know sqlite works well, no complaints from me

Not the person you replied to but for interest, It was 25 hard capped in grade school only because of the program I went through back years ago, though looking now 25-30 is petty consistent in that region as of last year. Highschool was larger, maybe 30, less once going into upper year courses, literally 8 of us took comp sci and that was combined gr11 and 12

Ontario, Canada for reference. 20 seemed low to me too tbh, but not out of the realm of possibility.

Why does that image only have the sun and the rebel from Canadian media? Both are given more credibility than they deserve, the rebel in particular has history, bunch of white supremacists and alt right personalities were or are still involved, publication absolutely stokes hate and fear.

Edit: I'm still at a loss, why those? The Globe and Mail, McLean's, The Toronto Star, National Post, CBC all have better reputations domestically (though natpost and the sun are a circle these days and most print media is owned by American Hedge Funds so...), far more likely to actually get the news instead of opinion masquerading as news in one of those.
