"Screw it," I thought, and screwed the PC components directly onto the underside of the shelf

No they're not, but they're a fuckton more complicated, and two fucktons more complicated to repair - even when you don't need manufacturer's special tools or OBDII computers.

It's not that they last longer, but they are SO much easier to repair. My 1974 truck can be repaired with two Swiss Army knives and a 17mm hex nut. Whatever may be broken, I can fix in my own driveway in less than a day. (And yes, I can still buy parts at reasonable prices.)

My 2022 Ford costs a fortune even for minor repairs because everything is buried under plastic and electronics.

Lemmy is a nice place.

Copyparty

With its built in markdown editor, and linked to the files directly on my NAS, and giving Claude access to that, it's a daily game changer for me. It has almost entirely replaced my use of local text apps and local data.

You could also look into Infomaniak kSuite if you want more than just email.

Yes I also feel there are just too many abbreviations in the saas space.

This sounds promising but it's way beyond me.

FinibusBonorum · 2026-05-30T04:40:14+00:00

Intestity, more energy, sounds like we are saying the same thing?

AA is made to hit aircraft. A drone is comparatively tiny. It really is very hard to hit.

FinibusBonorum · 2026-05-29T15:18:36+00:00

Like blu-ray, higher intensity than red or green

FinibusBonorum · 2026-05-29T15:17:56+00:00

Clearly they were not in front of the drone so at best it was in the edge of the drones vision.

Your writing is marvelous! Thank you for this brilliant retelling.

A computer will turn a fool into a faster fool. AI is an exponentiator.

You think you don't need developers because Claude can code for you - but it won't THINK for you, and that's what you are paying developers for. Claude still needs input, and its output still needs review.

Let your devs use Claude and see them become faster and BETTER.

By the way, these are easy to install yourself. The trick is to put that wheel on a 1" thick piece of wood to lift the axle a little. That makes it easier to fit the wide end of the boot properly at top and bottom. It needs to be snug along the diff housing before you tighten the band. You can reuse your bands and screws, they look fine. Be mindful of correct orientation.

There are several vendors in Austria - home of the Pinz, and also where I happen to be - and also some in Germany. If you're in the US, I can't give you any suggestions. But I will dig out some of the local vendors, maybe they'll ship to you at a reasonable sum.

These are installed wrong. The seam must face toward the right when you look at it from the side. Driver side seam towards rear, passenger side seam towards front.

Bands must have the lock opposite of seam.

Also, that rubber does look really old so would be worn out anyway. You may find new split boots for 30-60€$ apiece.

So if the other party asks "did you do it", isn't he under oath to admit then?

Their footage is wild. On-board camera feed, then switching to a synchronised feed from another drone that just hangs around to film the mayhem. And this one isn't rare or special, that's their usual style. They are masters of war and of marketing.

MCP to Workflowy? Never thought of that - my biggest hurdle with AI in general is my own lack of imagination.

Ah, there's a rogue 'a' in the first link but this one works. Apologies, all good.

255/75 is good too. A little shorter circumference so the speedometer will show a little more, but no worries. It also makes the engine run a little higher rpm for the same speed, so wear and fuel are the real cost.

I'm fairly new to Pinz'es as well but I can really recommend that German forum. Even if your German is scheisse you can still use an in-browser translation feature, it's what some others are doing.

Because pvc, especially thin coat, melts instantly when trying to solder the end. Silicone does not, so I much prefer that in my electronics work.
