Pretty sure some guy gets paid to play Thor.

Flatpac version is the easy way to avoid dependency issues. Blender releases this way now.

Yeah. Or at least your willingness to take the risk.

It can be fun making a set amount of money last as long as poss. When your recognise the fact you will lose. Given it means (at least in the 90 when I last did it) free drinks and once a free room. My ex and I had a good night for about $200.

Get your head out of your arse hole.

Nothing in the thread requires your anal level of analysis. The vast majority of 3d printers are 500mms.

I have no requirement to consider one printer made by the same fucking company when answering if the speed relates to travel or print.

When you are review an academic paper such anal interpretations may matter. Some jo commenting on print vs travel in just fucking pathetic.

who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis

everyone. Its how theories are formed,

but yes science journalism is shitty and intentionally fails,0 to indicate the difference between an idea, hypothesis and theory. Just to gain clicks.

First printer this size and price range. Above 500mm.

Travelling I assume. Printing very much depends on the fillament etc. not much a printer can do to change that. But a nearly 30% increase in travel speed has a significant effect on the over all time.

ATM the boat is being rebuilt inside. Replacing everything.

So the system is in bits. Hidden in the engine bay.

I have old pics of the boat before we regilt all the electrics etc. if it’s the shape etc your interested in.

If your a Brit who knows the canals. Think small sprinter but with a flat hull. It’s not actually a springer but same steel standards etc.

Yeah. I guessed that. But I doubt it is registered as a trade mark. So Google can still cause issues.

Although it comes down to if the use can be confused. That is not normally decided by technical conpidence.

Yep.

My guess haveing delt with the process. Moving to a green card process supported by marriage. Meant her student visas no longer applied. Only being married for 1 year. As this is why such claims are temp to begin. Means she may be deported well before her student plans are complete.

Even before the current insanity. Things like that were risky.

Is not naming it the same as googles new AI a bit risky.

Yep that can work. But ignores all the well documented and supported development community comments I pointed to while also indicating other options exist.

As for.

Turning some switches on and off while monitoring input values doesn’t sound very computationally intensive.

You realise IO wise that describes your keyboard and mouse interaction on the most powerful gaming PCs.

It’s what you do with the results that matters.

GPIO supports a fair bit more then the on and off input and output. It’s slow compared to other systems. But has multiple serial protocols of differing types. Simple GUI displays can also be run via gpio connections. Low Res Lidar devices are available connected via the spi connections with all the data processed on that host PC.

So no gpio use can require all levels of processing power post connection. It is after all designed for experimentation and prototyping.

For my project. You clost to correct. I just use a simple GUI displays with xorg. So a pie 0 is plenty. And way lower power then the other options. It links to a pwm controller to power 2 12v 200w water tank heaters a relay for a 750w AC heater. Bluetooth connection to a BMS and solar MPPT. While operating multiple temp sensors measuring at different levels. And warning of legionaries risk. If the tank has not been over 65c in 14 days (actually 10 days but I’m over careful given the health status of my brother and I).

So much less then the tiny Pie 0 would not be able to cope but mainly due to the need for the vision impaired interface. Speaking functions dose not take much. But doing so without being unusably slow is about the limit of a pie 0.

Worth noting pie 4 and 5 no longer recommend 5w PSU. And tend to fail if anything is drawing on the USB.

Not simple to remove. They can all be taken out.

But the fire risk is a very valid point. All laptops should indicate they should not be left alone when charging. While many do. Setting one up in a unobserved location to run permanently should be batteryless or Lifepo4 adapted. So laptops may not be best suited to this environment. A used thin client or other DC input option may be much easier. Or an old desktop if batts and not wanted.

Add use of gpio to reasons to use pie.

While gpio adaptors are available for pc. The software architecture is not as well rounded and documented.

So for any complex hardware project development. Gpio based SBCs are often essential.

So space, low power and gpio development.

Otherwise yep old laptop or even desktop can be cheaper and more able.

But overall. The wide software support and documentation for hardware connectivity is a bloody good reason to keep pie supported.

I’m setting 2 up to control the hot water and solar dump system on my shared little boat. As I want to link 12v Lifepo4 batt charging with the solar dump and visually impaired control for AC and diesel heating of the water.

Pies really are the best option to play with. While low power and easy to design a unique low vision interface.

Also UK boat safty. Is issuing warning about permanently connected li ion batts on boats. So it is likely setting up a laptop to manage this while not on the boat. Will be banned in the near future.

Only an issue for UK boating but worth considering the risks of leaving laptops to run when not observed.

Tech support. Knowing you have available staff who understand how to fix issues. And will take responsibility

These are always the questions that sell commercial software over os to big corporations.

Anyone who has ever worked in a big corp recognises the arguments even if they disagree.

Microsoft will offer to build a big data warehouse there then.

For m$ it is very much about not having a big gov org successfully moved over. As then corps may consider it.

Again.

Every few years we hear a nations gov say this. Them m$ makes a deal to good to be true. And it all resets.

It’s basically become an accounting trick for national govs.

Exactly. But if we are honest. Canada joining the EU with no land border even close. Would be such a huge change in how it needs to work Vs other members.

It is much more likely to negotiate an EEA like arangment. As customs etc would face huge complications with the US being their largest trading partner.

Just about everything would need to be up for debate for such a deal to be practical on Canada’s part.

Just things like electrical trade would be questionable. Localisation meant almost all other members were using 220v like systems before unification. Food standards make EU / north American trade in many products complex. So either way any merge is going to be long and complex. So differences will be needed,

If I say “the life support system for the USS Enterprise”,

Unfortunately contact mean that example dose work both ways.

If we say enterprise system for life support. People will also understand.

But voyager system for enterprise could apply either way. To be fitted to enterprise or allow enterprise activity on voyager. Or voyager activity on enterprise. For is just bad language in this context.

Here Microsoft should’ve used a possessive. Voyagers enterprise support system would be more normal.

Or Windows Linux support system.

But marketing and a history of no other OS matters means Mickey$oft insists on it’s own layout. Over language clarity.
