Replaced the battery on my wireless headset this evening
  • Well done! I did some exploratory surgery on my Fenix 6 recently as the vibration motor had stopped working properly. Easy to take a part and probably easy to repair - just have to find a spare part somewhere.

  • What cheap setup or technique works for truly flat photos for use in CAD?
  • A scanner would be your best bet.

    But you could go wild and ditch the photo idea.

    The original piece was modeled in CAD. Simply follow the logical path for how it was originally done.

    Measure the outermost dimensions and draw a rectangle as construction geometry. Then play around drawing a couple of circles - chances are that the top and bottom curves are circles and are trimmed and joined with eachother with say blend curve to preserve tangency.

    Also measure the distance of the holes to the rest of the geometry. How far are they from the top and sides. You could measure their distance to eachother crosswise too to narrow down the measurement error.

    The geometry is built around simple measurements, if you can work out the sketch tools and constraints, you can probably match the original with high precision.

  • I hate cast iron so I am in favour of this.
  • Detergents are basic because that works wonders on greasy stuff. When oil polymerises it won't be susceptible to basic substances anymore but will react to acids. (Unlike acid and oils which don't really react with each other – think vinaigrette separating in the fridge.)

    Washing a cast iron pan with detergent will clean it from unpolymerised oil.

    Cooking e.g. tomato based sauces in your cast iron pan will strip it of the polymerised coating (might impart flavour too).

    Cleaning kitchen tiles near your stove is sometimes easier with acidic cleaning solutions as well. Just be careful with the caulking which will brittle over time from using acids.

  • Googling Is for Old People. That’s a Problem for Google.
  • Not really no!

    There was a "Multi Web Search" by Oleksandr for Firefox but it was last updated five years ago. It also intermingles the results whereas I would've liked to see them side by side (to compare how different search engines rank the sites)

    The SearX feature the other guy mentioned might be the best bet!

  • I've finally done it, a perfect first layer in progress
  • It makes me so happy every time I see a thread that starts with the potential to get heated but ends up in normal conversation / being defused.

    What I want to say is, the internet is a better place with y'all <3

    (Edit: I thought I should contribute something to the subject at hand too so I'll just say, as an Ender owner, I'm quite jeallous of op's first layer.)

  • Currently I have a Boox e-ink reader, but I learned that they don't last that much and their post-sale support is the worst. I see that this device will fail in the next 6-12 months, what e-ink reader
  • I've enjoyed my kobo libra h2o a lot but PDFs can be a bit challenging with its compact screen size.

    Big PDFs tend to drain the battery quite fast too but this may not be such an issue with larger models.

    I use it with Calibre and my local library has some books available via Overdrive. Calibre can convert books from other formats to epub. PDF is trickier in my experience but other e-reader formats have worked without a hitch.

    If your unfamiliar with Calibre you can give it a go before making any decisions and convert a few books with it or something. Not necessarily the prettiest software but it does everything I need it to and does it well.

    Sidenote:

    I'd be curious to try one of those chinese e-ink android tablets one day.

    Edit:

    The kobo/rakuten store is quite good too, no complaints.
