This is China's massive differentiator than anywhere else. They have impeccable supply chain management. You will find that certain items are almost always made in the same city. Shenzhen (and surrounding area) is just…
It depends on how you look at it. I've traveled all around Asia visiting different factories for projects over the years. After some time, factories just tend to blend together, big rooms filled with machines where…
I'm pretty strongly in the camp of trust the science and measurements for audio stuff. Thus I suspect its mostly just better sounding masters, but I was shocked at how much I noticed the sound quality of Tidal compared…
This doesn't answer the most burning question I have, which is why the wind-up gear has the spiral around the shaft...
>In simulations, their approach solved 99% of Wordle puzzles, while the traditional method solved just 90%. This seems wrong to me, getting a 98%+ solve rate for Wordle is pretty common.
I've definitely made the effort when traveling for work to always say "Bill of Materials" if I'm doing any work in an airport.
Tourism is a huge benefit for many places and brings lots of money into their economy. But at the same time over-tourism can significantly harm locals and the environment. My photo example is just a example anecdote…
>Usually explained by a different time of week/year/month I hadn't thought about that and checked the dates of the photos I took on both trips. Coincidentally apparently I was there within a week of exactly 10 years…
While the folks like Bourdain did romanticize tourism, and TV shows are known to regularly kill businesses that don't know how to manage the increase in customers, they did at least project the proper attitude of…
Yet when I switch between home and work I have to fully restart my laptop about half the time in order for it to even detect the monitors. I also find this feature has an issue with certain programs (Obsidian in…
I've tried Darktable and RAWtherapee. The problem is that I'm lazy with my photo editing and since I started using DxO PhotoLab I've come to rely on its features that help me get that job done quicker than anything else.
A good portion of it is just that I'm more comfortable with Solidworks and Creo, so if I'm modeling something complicated I'd rather use those so the tool isn't in my way. Otherwise the main thing is the surfacing tools…
I made the switch about 1.5 years ago and haven't looked back. The only software I use frequently that doesn't have a good enough equivialent available on Linux is photo editing and CAD. Even for CAD, if it is simple…
I asked it since I wasn't sure if I was just my brain being the odd one out here. I tend to just remember topics and search for them when needed. For example, I rely completely on Outlook's search to find the email from…
How many people actually find utility from a Zettelkasten system? I just can't bring myself to go to the effort of documenting a thought and adding links/tags unless it is something I predict that I will need sometime…
Massdrop's original version is essentially what you are describing, they were a middleman that ran drops where you would pay for something upfront and once done they would collect the money and order it from the…
Due to some comments the CEO made regarding a few Trump decisions there are a number of people that believe that the company supports the current US government and are looking for any link they can to prove it.
This is true, and it is also true that the maintainers of Wayland have done a terrible job of developing the replacement. It is mostly good enough now to replace X11, but based on what I've seen reported about different…
A lot of success in working with suppliers in China (and really anywhere in Asia) is in building a relationship with them where they know exactly what your expectations are and holding them to it until they understand…
>Plus to my knowledge NVidia drivers are still an issue. This is an overblown issue. For the most it is a case of installing the proprietary driver package following the instructions for your distro. One more step than…
This is frankly one of the areas of Linux that I'm most disappointed about. I tried a number of these options for local players and found them all to be terrible. Especially considering that I really like the specific…
Someone told me early in my career that the longer you work in an office, the more Office Space transforms from a comedy to a documentary. They weren't wrong...
Long time SolidWorks user here with experience in other programs. Frankly, SolidWorks is one of the easiest pieces of CAD software to use, being much more flexible in how things are done compared to a lot of other…
EndeavourOS with KDE. For some reason, I always seem to have issues with non-Arch distros, even back when I ran Linux on a netbook. After my Fedora install on my Framework 13 broke, I had switched to Manjaro, but after…
So? It is still a pretty popular and useful piece of software even if your circle doesn't use it. One of the big barriers to having more people use Linux is having the software packages they use to actually do work…
