The point of my original post was that their update cadence is slower. The point of my followup reply is that they are not devoid of updates, either.

They have a release every 1-2 years, and it’s packed full for various tweeks, improvements, and new features. They fix broken shit, and enhance where it makes sense.

I don’t need my window manager to get fad features, and I don’t need constant updates. It does what I want it to do already.

xfce ftw.

lol

xfce ftw

I disagree with the overall substance of your argument.

Sure, if you’ve already designed something on paper and want to feed numbers in and get a part, CAD is clearly superior. I don’t work that way.

I will use (and recommend) the tools that have the least friction for me. I would not increase the time and headache to complete a project just because someone else thinks another workflow is better. I don’t need CAD because 3D printing tolerances are not that tight. Some people need/want CAD because that’s the only kind of tool they’ve used to make 3D objects, and that’s low friction for them. That’s cool too.

I’m suggesting Blender here in case someone (OP or a passer-by) hadn’t considered it, and didn’t realize that it’s up to the task of creating 3D printable objects. It definitely can, I’ve done it dozens of times, even with matching measurements against existing parts (which - it occurs to me now - is most of what I’ve done).

Also, I exclusively use Blender VSE for video editing. Mostly because it’s the best free/open-source option I’ve tried, and I don’t need to add another tool to my workflow. I never really liked the Adobe suite, and most non-adobe tools try to cosplay as them. It’s a lesser form of a thing I already didn’t like.

Unless you have a graphics background and no CAD experience. In which case, Blender will be far easier.

Thank you! Though, there’s no paint or coating. Printed using standard Black PLA on a Bambu X1C. The finish is just the natural texture of the print.

I was just posting in another thread about how I remade the armrest of my Traveler Guitar to be more comfortable. The one it comes with is super uncomfortable to me, so I redesigned it to be shaped more like a Squier. Images here .

All I really needed was some cardboard, some calipers, and Blender. Though, to get the measurements just so, I had to make a bunch of little virtual rulers (the yellow strips). In CAD, you wouldn’t need those since the measurements are described directly in the process of making the part.

Same. My most ambitious project was to create a new arm rest for a Traveler Guitar. The one it comes with is super uncomfortable to me, so I redesigned it to be shaped more like a Squier. Images here .

Aaahhhh, there we go

I feel like someone in this thread should be calling someone else a tankie, even if only for the meme of it.

I know that there is a large difference between CAD and general 3D modeling, but I’ve designed all my custom 3D printed parts in Blender and have had zero issues with fitment or scaling.

The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.

Then it still doesn’t matter. If an identified source gives information that isn’t verifiable, it’s still not actionable.

I don’t care who it is, they give the information, then authorities verify it. If it comes up verified, there you go.

I already have it on hand.

You assume “pretty ass” is limited to women, for any given male player…

Obviously subjective, but;

• Smaller hitbox
• Better animations
• Many awesome games where the equally awesome protagonist is female (Metroid, Portal, Hellblade, Tomb raider, Horizon, etc)
• If the story is based on the character, it’s often more emotionally intelligent
• Usually more agile, fast, stealthy, and has long-range attacks (magic users, snipers, archers, etc)
• Usually has more of a flourish in attacks, so fancier and more graceful

I’m male, 5’7", 150, athletic build. Definitely male in appearance, but I’m not bulky. To your point about “the character looking as much like you as possible”, depending on the game, my frame is more similar to the female than the guy who’s neck is bigger than my waist.

I like smash-em-ups just fine, but sometimes I want to approach the mechanics as I would in real life, and that’s intentionally, and executed with subtlety. A lot of male-focused paths/stories are forced to be blunt force and loud.

I mean, lack of consensus notwithstanding, the logic tree should be pretty simple;

• Employer demands secure device

  • Employee has one personally and is willing to use it for work

    • Employer allows use of personal device

      • Problem solved

    • Employer isn’t comfortable with BYOD, provides a device

      • Employee accepts the new device

        • Problem solved

      • Employee doesn’t accept the device, can’t do their job, is fired

        • Problem solved

  • Employee either doesn’t have one, or refuses to use their own

    • Employer provides one

      • Problem solved

    • Employer refuses to provide one

      • Employee realizes the company sucks, quits

        • Problem solved

      • Employer gets shitty about it, fires the employee, employee sues and easily wins

        • Problem solved

• updated for more scenarios

Reasonable to allow only secure devices for work: Yes

Reasonable to expect the employee to provide such a device: No

Work should only be done on company hardware (including auth). Especially if they’re going to be that concerned about security.

SSO can be afforded by more than just cloud services. Look into OpenLDAP.
