Now my mind is going down a rabbit hole of 3d wire forming ideas.

Any #mechanical engineers out there who have a good book on interlocking wire/rod designs? Or other resources? I'm thinking of 3d structures to make things ridgid. e.g. show me a book with tricks like the mechanism seen in the attached image.

I'm thinking of spring locking mechanisms, assembly, disassembly, rigid triangle structures, etc.

Hey, #LazyWeb: does anyone have any clever ways of finding replacement parts for luggage?

I have an old but still very good-condition #Travelpro Crew 8 bag, and the retractable handle system is busted. Replacing the whole bag is upwards of CDN$300, so I'm really hoping to replace the handle system instead.

I've check Amazon and Ebay, of course. If you have any other specific places to look, I would be grateful

I need a new laptop bag. Recommendations welcome. Briefcase style preferred #lazyweb

let's say, not entirely hypothetically, that we have a ResEdit TMPL. We want to convert it to an MPW Rez types file, so we can DeRez resources instead of mess with the GUI editor. Anyone got a tool handy for this?

Gestern Abend wollte ich den Akku meines #Laptop an einer Dockstation voll laden. Ging aber nicht. Ich: „Wieso?” Laptop an eine Ladestation gehängt: Laden funktioniert.

Neugierde geweckt, zurück an die Docking Station. Kernel-Logs durchgescrollt. Nix gefunden. Akku-Stand 55%. Letzte Woche hatte ich mal im BIOS von #S3 auf #S2Idle umgestellt. Rückgängig gemacht, keine Besserung. *kopfkratz*, zurück ins BIOS. Zwischendurch andere Dinge gemacht, dann zurück zum Rechner. Ladestand des Akkus sinkt plötzlich auf 50% und *pling*, er wird geladen.

Mir dämmert etwas. In den vergangenen Wochen habe ich mal an einem Laptop unseres Familienhaushalts das Ladeverhalten umgestellt, nämlich erst ab 50% zu laden. Ich weiß aber nicht mehr, welches Gerät es gewesen ist :-/ Also suche ich bei meinem Laptop, einem Tuxedo, verzweifelt eine solche Einstellungsmöglichkeit. Aber ich finde nichts. Nichts im BIOS, nicht in der KDE-Energieverwaltung und auch nicht im TUXEDO Control Center.

Weiß jemand Rat? So ganz kann es ja mit den 50% auch nicht stimmen, wenn das Laptop an der USB-Ladestation einfach so geladen hat. Kann man die Dockingstation etwa entsprechend konfigurieren?

Looking for cool retro computing images (portrait) to print and hang on the wall of the retro room but all I get is AI slop. I need some human recommendations! Old ads that are mostly visual, artistic photography. I'd happily pay as well, as long as it doesn't involve sending money to the US etc...

Please boost for reach?

Does anyone have any tips on using #clangd with the #Arduino libraries? Specifically for use in #NeoVim.

At some point I'll move this project over to the Pico SDK, but for now I'd like to edit this code without resorting to VS Code.

Dear friends, how do I make a bent piece of wire/rod in freecad 1.1.0?

I tried a draft of the shape. Attached a circle sketch to the end point with a datum plane, and tried to use AdditivePipe to get it to go brrr...
It started out nice, but it fell flat...
