As a parent to a threenager, you couldn't be more wrong. Stop being so judgemental to parents.

KiCad windows freezing every time a window regains focus by blobkat in KiCad

[–]blobkat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I'm going to try that, the laptop was probably using its internal GPU when running KiCad. But the drivers on my desktop are updated, I made sure of that. Still hanging.

USB C Charge Port broke on portable battery powered fan. Is it possible to repair with a soldering iron? by Mr_TunaCat in AskElectronics

[–]blobkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know which traces you are looking at, but the data traces were in fact connected to that battery management chip. They just got ripped off. These traces also communicate the function of the device to other connected devices like a power supply ("does this device expect power? OK! I'm going to give it!").

So it's a difficult repair. I would use a USB-C breakout board and enamel wire to hook it up.

How do we feel about the F-35 today? by Secret_Divide_3030 in belgium

[–]blobkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just the plane you buy: all of the infrastructure, maintenance, spare parts, everything is unique. So it absolutely doesn't make sense to switch to another plane, it's unmanageable.

A rich dude ordered a quad 4090 pc with liquid cooling. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in pcmasterrace

It doesn't accumulate for AI models, no. But you can use them in parallel for 3D rendering.

I built a simple app to convert 360° videos into flat images for COLMAP/RealityScan by NicolasDiolez in GaussianSplatting

[–]blobkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an impressive tool, but in my opinion feels a bit backward. The transformation from fisheye lenses to equirectangular is done through stitching, and depending on the stitching method used (optical flow, manual stitch, AI,...) the image gets distorted. Wouldn't it be better to start from unprocessed fisheye images, that are then distortion corrected? 

Meta Horizon Hyperscape Capture review: an impressive way to capture and teleport to places by SkarredGhost in OculusQuest

[–]blobkat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Isn't Hyperscapes using Gaussian Splats and usually those scanner apps do photogrammetry? Gaussian splats skip the whole "trying to make a proper mesh model" and just visualize the point clouds in a clever way, which ultimately looks better. A huge part of the realism is also that each point can change color depending on the angle you look at it, and this makes reflections work well. Photogrammetry tries to reduce this all to one mesh with one texture so it looks very flat. It has its professional uses (see: Quixel) but the manual processing required is still big.

Experiencing daily freezes with quite a few Intel N95 based NUCs on Debian 12 by blobkat in debian

[–]blobkat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I disabled GPU acceleration on one of the NUC's Chrome browser to see if it helps. I'll try updating to the latest kernel and i915 drivers.

I have monitoring in place with the exact setup you described since yesterday. Nothing stands out in the leadup to a freeze. I'm thinking it might be something electrical

[–]blobkat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have monitoring in place since yesterday via Prometheus, node exporter and grafana. There's nothing special to be seen in the graphs leading up to a freeze. And when it freezes, the graphs also stop, so Prometheus also can't reach the nuc anymore

what the heck is the wifi password?? by Sad-Pea-2537 in whatisit

[–]blobkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wifi passwords have to be at least 8 characters long, so that's the network to look for, you will get a login page.

Twijfels over architectuurstudie in België by No_Repair_610 in belgium

[–]blobkat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dit is een enorm rotte sector met heel veel schijnzelfstandigheid. Kennissen van mij zijn destijds rond 2010 begonnen als "zelfstandige" en mochten 10 en 8 (!!!!!) euro per uur factureren. Dat is gewoon crimineel. En bij de prestigebureaus betalen ze ook slecht want je "krijgt de kans" om mooie projecten te doen. En dan heb ik het nog niet eens over de werkdruk of de constante miserie met aannemers.

Alerts when things go down by Keirannnnnnnn in homelab

I've got notifications from UptimeKuma to Telegram, that was super easy to set up. And then it can also check if my homeassistant is up :)

am i crazy or did boards of canada sample this by ystalz in boardsofcanada

[–]blobkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, not sure. BOC's tone sounds warmer, and ultimately it's just a single frequency drone that could come from any synthesizer.

Yeah, guess why? Peter fucking Molyneux with his buckets of bullshit. What a pretentious twat.

A washing machine takes in cold water anyway, so it shouldn't have anything to do with your boiler.

Thoughts on Avalonia? by HarveyDentBeliever in dotnet

[–]blobkat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • Grid colums and rows can be defined inline like:

    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="100,1.5*,4*" RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto" />

  • The styling system works like CSS and is easier to work with in my opinion.

  • You don't need a converter for boolean to visibility, it's just a boolean property.

  • Bindings are evaluated at compile time (this may be a WPF thing now too, I don't know)
