I second tinkercad for super basic parts. Need to print a knob for a radio that isn’t on thing-verse? 20min in tinkercad.

For blender basic things to learn could be plugging a hole in a part and adding a smaller or bigger one to match the screws you have on hand.

Or cutting a part in half to extend it, fill in the gap.

I’m hoping those salt batteries pan out.

Wired is king.

If I gotta do wireless I get one with a RF dongle/base.

Astro A50 Wireless. Needs a dongle but it’s waaaay more stable than any bluetooth headset. Both on range and audio quality.

Use case:

I want to set it up in my home so husband and 2 kids can access and share within GOG TOS.

Is there a feature to automatically download installers and patch files from GOG to the server?

Seems like a good feature to have to maintain an offline library.

I wonder if it would be illegal to put IR lights around your plate to blind the camera …

Gears turning…

Yep. Then automatic tolls and traffic cams can’t track you. Cop would pull you over real quick.

Can !homeassistant@lemmy.world help with that?

Yeah this is begging for !homeassistant@lemmy.world to replace that app.

Yeah. I’ve found new logic by asking GPT for improvements on my code or suggestions.

I cut the size of a function in half once using a suggested recursive loop and it blew my mind.

Feels like having a peer to do a code review on hand at all times.

Everyone keeps talking about autocomplete but I’ve used it successfully for comments and documentation.

You can use vs code extensions to generate and update readme and changelog files.

Then if you follow documentation as code you can update your Confluence/whatever by copy pasting.

More like I come in to fix someone’s aging infrastructure and find a QuickBooks share with read/write everyone because people are too lazy to RTFM.

Ahem…

Looking at you quickbooks network shares…

I have a brother multifuction laser. From a thrift store. 6 years so far on a 3rd party XL toner…

I’ve spent more on paper than the printer+toner

for bonus points get a used one!

The only games you BUY now are GOG. DRM free.

You can download the installer and archive it. If GOG goes under you can still install and play it.

classic pump and dump at thjs point. He wants to cash in while he can.

There’s an app to make web apps icons. Or just use Firefox to add the bookmark to your homepage

Wow I got downvoted.

Yes I agree that launchers mentioned here are the online connected and required ones.

The old school launchers you could bypass by just running the exe directly.

The only useful thing launchers can used to do is adjust things like display settings that require reboot. Basically an INI config GUI.

This was more common back in the day probably due to the game engines. More less games require restart in recent years but that could be due to me playing more indie games and less AAA titles.

Edit: wow. Downvote much.

Captchas are good for slowing down bots scraping data. Better than nothing…
