  • I use Tinkercad for simple stuff, FreeCAD for complex parts, and Blender for anything requiring sculpting. As a 3d printing hobbyist I can't justify the price of commercial CAD software. I prefer open source when a good option is available. FreeCAD took a little getting used to, but it's got everything you might need to create a part or mechanism for printing. Tinkercad is great for real quick simple stuff, and for blending simple models together. Software is a tool, and you need a specific tool for each specific task. Blender is the best free 3d sculpting software I've found.

  • I use tinkercad to do most things, especially when it comes to combining models, adding some shapes or holes, etc. It's easy to use, you aren't inundated with features you don't need, and always exports an STL that your slicer can understand. I use blender for more complex things, but I know like 2% of what blender can do, so it's easy to get lost in there.

  • That's what did it for me. I need to be able to use bank apps, and appreciate the convenience of Google Pay on my Pixel 7 Pro. Can't do that with a custom rom or root. I loved rom hopping on my older droids, but I guess stock android has all the functionality I need.

  • Lemmy gives me the same feeling that Reddit did when I first discovered it in 2011. Back before they cared about being profitable and sustainable, when it was a growing community. I don't know if Lemmy is sustainable or not, but I like the way it feels to be a part of this.

    Sync really makes it feel like a seamless transition though. Jerboa is good, but Sync is what I'm used to.

  • I gladly pay subscriptions for services. I see that the Ultra has cloud backup of settings, but how much storage could that possibly use? Certainly not $2/mo worth. For that price I'll want the equivalent of 100Gb of storage in the cloud.

    edit: I'd send $2/mo. to the admins of my instance. They're running the servers that host all this content.

  • I am a collector, and inventory management is always the thing that makes or breaks an RPG for me. Unlimited inventory is just completely unrealistic, but on the other hand, making an RPG inventory completely realistic is just no fun. Of course I want to be able to lug all that sweet loot home, including battle axes, broadswords, several full armor sets, myriad other weapons, potions, etc. Having an encumbrance such as Skyrim has makes total sense to me. I love the idea of being able to sort and filter my inventory, and store items in whatever container I own. I also like to be able to compare the stats of new items with ones I own so I know if something is a trade up.

    I hate storage block inventories, where items physically take up one, or a few "squares". I don't want to play a tile puzzle with my items.

  • PlayOn.tv is a service that allows you to record from Netflix and Prime, and several others. I used their old desktop software for years before they moved the whole thing to the cloud and turned it into a service. Give it a try if you like.
