  • Works in Safari

  • Steam lets you play your games on the big screen in various ways. But you will need the following.

    1. A device with steam or steam link app installed. Samsung TV use to have Steam Link available but from a quick search might not be available anymore.

    So you will need a device like an Apple TV or Google TV to plug into your TV if you want to wirelessly display your Steam Deck.

    Though in my personal view you may want to just connect the steamdeck itself into the TV with a USBC to HDMI adapter. Plus you can charge your deck while connected to a TV.

    1. a controller if you are plugging in your steam deck

    Steam Deck has high compatibility with wireless controller from official controller from Sony, Xbox, and Nintendo. Plus the 3rd party ones like from 8bitdo are good and work well too.

    My recommendation is Dongle/wireless controller for best experience. But if you must do everything wireless you don’t need a controller but it’ll still work.

  • Nah, they usually don't have that any more. From what I'm told it's background noise for them to fall a sleep too. I'm also told they pay hundreds of dollars every month just to enjoy this.

  • I think we need to define TV.

    Tv in the sense of broadcast stations and shows. Haven’t touched that since 2008, DVDs and Streaming has everything I want.

    TV in the sense of a shared screen for everyone. Nah, still needed and can be better than ever thanks to streaming, both retail and… other sources (plex)

  • I am doing my part

  • Because the Action button is hard to remember and it’s not a mute switch any more

  • Trying to avoid apps with subscriptions. The way I see it, it’s a question of when not if they change how the app works.

  • I 100% agree, and have Fusion360 in my VM. But there is a method to FreeCAD’s madness and once you get it, FreeCAD begins to make sense.

    I found it hard to go back to fusion especially with the amount of control I had with my designs.

    Also FreeCAD V1 is out, and it’s a marked improvement over their previous releases. Might be worth a try.

  • Being able to sync music or movies to my iPhone/iPad. More of an Apple issue than Linux, yet Mac/PC is compatible.

    VLC does work, but since it’s not how Apple wants you to use your device it’s not as convincing nor flushed out.

  • Easily. It's annoying, but if it bugs me that much I could just flip it upside down and put a rubber pad down so the top doesn't get scuffed.

  • “Hahahaha”

    Oh wait. You’re serious? Let me laugh even harder.

    “HAHAHAHA”

  • Thank you so much for this, didn’t know where to get the unions side of things.

    I was getting the impression management wanted to compete with the Amazon curriers but I didn’t expect this.

    The union has every right to fight this, and I hope they win. At the same time I hope that they do find a middle ground with the 7-day delivery. While I don’t want/need it, the general population does expect 7 day/week delivery like everyone else does. Even if it’s only a limited service I feel it’s something they can negotiate with. (Not that it means much based on their article)

  • 2 prints, swapped after the last solid infill on the bottom, and before the first solid infill on the top.

  • It does but from my testing only on impossible shapes. Like two triangles mirrored at the tip with a width of 0.

    It has other issues still, but the app is stable.

  • Is it decent ? Yes

    Should I look elsewhere? Also yes.

    CAD is difficult to understand on a good day, and FreeCAD is a beginner unfriendly implementation of it.

    I personally love it and it’s an excellent tool if you already know what you are doing. If you don’t, it’s a mess of screens and spaces with no rhyme or reason.

    My two cents. Learn CAD first, Google Sketchup or Fusion 360 are good and beginner friendly with lots of tutorials. Then move to FreeCAD to learn the differences.

    That said if you want to just try FreeCAD, this release is the best I’ve used from them.

  • The commercial alternative to blender is software like Maya. But I too struggled with Blender, however I feel that's because 3D modelling is different from CAD, since modelling is like molding clay into the shape you want it in, rather than accurately measuring it out like in CAD.

  • Yeah Fusion is the way to go, especially if you are learning. Lots of hate for it around here, due to Autodesk endlessly changing their policies. But there's no point in learning the basics when you don't know if it's you... or the software.

    But if your issue is just navigating the 3D space in FreeCAD, you can set it such that it's the same in TinkerCAD/Fusion 360. FreeCAD calls it Revit, and you can set it in the lower right corner. Hold you mouse over it to show tool tips.

  • In my view CAD is always worth learning, especially if you understand what prints best on your printer.

    FreeCAD is basically the worse possible beginners tools. Don't get me wrong when you learn it, it's good and comparable to professional CAD software. But the learning curve is dumb.

    Learn the basics first. TinkerCAD is free (from Autodesk) and will get you started. But if you want something which would take you further Fusion360 is fantastic for beginners.

    The workflow of CAD is as follows. Sketch -> Action -> Sketch -> Action. Lets say you want to make a box with a hole in it. Sketch the outer box -> Extrude it -> Sketch the inner box -> Extrude/Cut it.
