True, but through pihole, you can see if your phone makes pings to microsoft servers during use.

It doesn't request location access, it doesn't request contact or phone access, it doesn't require you to sign into a microsoft account, it doesn't constantly send data back home, etc... It only requests file permission and camera permission while you are using the app. A lot of apps harvest your data, and the entire Windows OS is built around harvesting your data and spying on your every click. This app doesn't seem to do that as far as anyone can discern.
I use mine with Microsoft Lens (I know, but one of their best products that doesn't spy on you) as a document scanner and then sync it to my document server paperless-ngx.
It can angle correct, color correct, and has good filters for b&w and greyscale that often make it look like a real document scanner if your phone has a decent camera.
Much better than drive or any of the open source options to be honest, sadly....
Though pumped hydro is sometimes opposed by environmental groups because it does absolutely decimate local environments.
I have high hopes for sodium batteries. The ones that have been released on the market are simply perfect (if scaled up) for local grid storage in countries with a lot of space and will hopefully get better energy density in line with Lithium Iron Phosphate with time.
Salt batteries have been the cold fusion of battery tech for like 10 years, but now it is finally coming to fruition. I hope to install a solar installation with salt batteries in 5 years or so, myself.
But to be fair, even 2 ASUS WiFi 6E on their zenwifi like for example are like >300โฌ. A Cloud gateway ultra + U7 pro + PoE injector is around that too. For me the router/AP entrance is in a place that barely gives a signal so it makes so sense to have an access point there.
So I would get more or less the same signal with 1 access point + a wired router than 2 access points.
Depends on your situation of course.
It is good to note that the datum plane technique completely breaks sometimes when changes on earlier shapes when dealing with angles and rotation, and non-planar geometry unless you reference it to a face (in which case topo naming again) because rotation of a datum plane is rotated and shifted with respect to the origin and not the desired face. Not to mention getting an exact face takes a long time of tweaking with complex parts.
Also be careful with spreadsheets. Is one variable is referenced more than 15 times or so, every mouse click in the spread sheet starts taking minutes to calculate. I had an outer shell dimension in a PC case in a design that I referenced a lot and clicking a spreadsheet cell would trigger an 8 minute recompute before I was even able to enter the cell to edit the variable (so then another 8 minutes after editing)
Let's be honest, it doesn't work for 30% of listed businesses either... Typing in more than 1 word automatically returns utter crap.
If I type is SPAR, I get all supermarkets near me.
If I type in SPAR supermarket because that is what it is listed under, I get this BS, random supermarkets 60+ km away. Even if it could only parse out supermarket because of how badly it parses, then it still could take supermarkets near me.
When I type in just supermarket, I get the supermarkets near me. Any time I type more than one word, the search completely breaks...
And thus we have come full circle back to the XFire experience after so many years ๐
I love the absurdity of game reviewers ๐
-
"This game is the pinnicle of its genre"
-
"This is the 1 game I would bring to a desert island"
-
"one of the most captivating puzzle games ever"
85%, 88%, 70%, a C to a B. That is just above average.
Meanwhile you get an absolute broken AAA piece of crap that barely functions, incoherant story, generic and boring and those same reviewers say "70-80%". So there is a <10% difference between absolutely mastering a genre and releasing straight garbage?
True, but it is also completely different use cases and they have different goals.
Windows on a 2-in-1 is also not as good as an iPad. They are desktop OS's with tablet functionality as a nice to have. They will never be as smooth of an experience as a mobile-first OS.
The trade off is 100x better compatibility with many apps, especially FOSS. inkscape, krita, KiCAD, FreeCAD, coding IDEs, MATLAB/scipy, games, etc... They are all available out of the box without a mediocre mobile port.
The flexibility to functionally use it as a full-blown computer (and not reliant on a monopolized, centralized app store) is the reason you get it and not an iPad. Of course it won't be as good as a tablet because it wasn't made for that.
You can also say "the iPad will never be as good of a drawing experience as a dedicated high-end drawing tablet." Like of course. That isn't its function and goal.
It has sent me down some dead end roads in the past 6 months, and the time estimate is always far off even without traffic, but other than that it has been great and I can actually change night and day mode in my car manually because google maps is forever stuck in night mode for some reason.
For the past few months or so, steam precaching has been out of control. I have to download between 10 and 30 GB of shader precache data per day. That is extremely ridiculous. Steam's shader caches are quite often almost as large as the game itself. For example: the image here is a game that is ~7GB for the full game, downloading 10GB of shader precache. If I download an average of 30GB of shaders per day, then that is almost 1TB of data downloaded written per month just in shaders...
Not to mention that games I play regularly like CS2 get a precache update literally every 2 days that is 5-10GB and if I manage to cancel it, there is 0 difference in performance at all.
Also fossilize replay that takes 20%-50% CPU load, sometimes for an hour and is the single highest user of disk IO on my entire system. I would be concerned about SSD wear if it was during the early times of ssd just because of the massive amount of writes.
I'm all for downloading shader precaching, but at normal intervals of after updates, not just randomly every few days when there hasn't been a game update in months or years. I don't want to delete all of my games because I only have 100/30 internet, so it would take me a long time too redownload games.
Has anyone else been seeing these ridiculous intervals and datasets of shader cache? Could there at least be a selective pre-caching setting only for games that I play regularly so I am not caching shaders for games that I haven't played in 2 years?

I would guess no. STEP colors still doesn't even work after years and years of users trying different fixes. ๐
Colors are definitely a pain point in freecad.
