8.5 GWh / 85 MW = 100 hours, or around 4 days. If they can build it cheap enough, this is the kind of battery we would need to replace nuclear for dealing with the day-to-day variability of renewables.

Will the Mediatek modules also support VESA Adaptive Sync, or will they have fixed frame rate on AMD cards?

STEP is at least marginally better than STL, because it can represent stuff like circles, instead of just a mesh.

It exports as F3D (probably readable by future versions of Fusion) and STEP (standard but with less fidelity) by default.

https://github.com/aconz2/Fusion360Exporter lets you bulk export all of your projects to local storage.

There is some good stuff in this release. Go to Preferences > GUI and check "Show sidebar collapse/expand button" + "Settings in non-modal window". Now you can put the Preview and Print Settings windows side-by-side, and see the result of every change immediately. This also requires "Background processing", but that's been available for ages.

all the features you know and love from things up the tree

Did OrcaSlicer ever bring back the option to slice automatically when changing settings? It's called "Background processing" in PrusaSlicer.

A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and the VPN server, and any packet on that path includes your IP address. So anyone attempting to decrypt your VPN traffic can trivially distinguish your packets from other users of the VPN server.

So your threat model assumes an actor with a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA, but not a regular computer capable of filtering by IP address?

Worth noting: "Visible includes mobile hotspot with unlimited data at speeds up to 5Mbps."

Seems risky, because people don't expect chocolate to need refrigeration.

In other news, if you try to upload a file named uncalibrated_example.stl to Thingiverse, it fails with no error message, because somewhere they have a pr0n filter searching for rated*x.

Some people might find this bundle_scad.py code useful. It combines an STL, SCAD, and all its dependencies into a single file.

I designed this wonky-looking funnel to fit my Squirrel Buster Legacy (and probably similar models), with hooks and posts that make it possible to refill the feeder without setting any parts on the ground.

This design of feeder needs to be located away from surfaces that a squirrel could stand on, so I assume a lot of people run into this problem. I don't really blame the company for making it so cumbersome to operate, because there's overlap between the smartest squirrels and the dumbest humans.

I think I found a counterexample to the common wisdom that more walls always create a stronger part.

The pictured S shape is 1.5mm thick, so printing with 2 walls leaves no room for infill. My testing wasn't very rigorous, but it seems that the hybrid structure of walls + rectilinear infill is 10-20% more rigid than walls alone. The infill adds strength by cris-crossing between adjacent layers.

I think it's fine to include a concentric top/bottom layer, but multiple identical layers weaken the part. I also tried 0 walls (infill only) and that was garbage.

I originally wrote IPvFoo for Chrome in 2011, to observe whether websites are served using IPv4 or IPv6:

https://github.com/pmarks-net/ipvfoo/

In 2017, Firefox added initial WebExtensions support, so I dropped the extension on addons.mozilla.org, technically functional but full of bugs, and hoped for the best.

This week, I finally sat down with Firefox and ironed out all the problems:

I'm pretty sure that covers everything, so IPvFoo now provides an equivalent user experience on Chrome and Firefox. Enjoy!
