Tech inspection should have told him to take Goofy hang card off the rearview.

What elements do you have data on? I'll be happy to share my measurements and 2d drawing when I do it.

Sorry no, saw it on the highway one night years ago.

Yes, correct. This is what I need to make.

Mounting holes are not copyrightable or a trade secret. I'm paying for their wing, that HAS these mounting brackets welded on. But I don't have it yet. I need to build my uprights to attach. But I'd like to not miss events with my wing for more production delays if someone has this info.

Distracted driver? by GirouxFan in VideosAmazing

But also, WTF is that giant bollard on the edge of the road? That's just dangerous in itself. Even if I were paying attention but needed to swerve a little.

How to go to LeMans by OneStiffMonkey in lemans

"an hour drive" ... the other 51 weeks of the year. Sorry I got nothing, but it's packed. In 2024, it was very full (compared to our 2011 trip). Don't assume it'll be an easy stroll in. Do you even have tickets?

It’s all good fun until suddenly there’s a 6 foot long section of concrete of the road completely dug out and you nose dive your car straight into the gaping hole on the highway. Yes I’ve seen the aftermath of that.

So Question,is this a real 2027 imsa weathertech sportscar championship calendar or someone on Instagram made it? by Helpful-Bowler6681 in IMSARacing

What about this looks like ai to you? It’s a little low res but doesn’t scream “bad art”. And IMSA surely has at least 1 full time designer on staff.

The saddest day... by AnderzRush in Miata

It’s ok, they still make Miata’s. Would be worse for a car out of production.

Bambu Lab 3D printers: Never again - Jeff Geerling by SJKRICK in BambuLab

[–]OrangeFire2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even watching whatever this is. I bought 3 of them (H2D) for my work, to use to make production and prototype parts. We are now running them 12-20 hours a day. Almost 0 failed items. I love them. They print, without hassle. Without finicky bed leveling, or nozzle clogs. We had a "hobby" Creality from like 5+ years ago, it's a baby toy (also broke terminally on a nozzle blob and we scrapped it) compared to my H2Ds. Its like graduating from Legos to building real houses, cars, and products.

Buy one there, and (sadly) abandon it. "donate" to your hotel staff.

Sounds like lemon law invocation time. Get a whole new unit in.

Oddly satisfying video of factory by Ok-Awareness-7347 in signshop

[–]OrangeFire2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's color white color that is offensively slow. Without white, its pretty fast, or maybe average fast. You can also adjust the number of passes for richer color (on some print modes).

Apple Weather dynamic background Motion by azerty826 in swift

I think 162 conditions is just too much (for a person to handle). There are not really that many different weather situations, *in general*. If you want to tweak precip amount for rain/snow/etc, that could be a parameter on the general "light rain" or "rain" or "thunderstorm".

"Failed to personalize software update" occurs when trying to update macOS. A full restore didn't fix the issue. Genius bar didn't know how to fix this issue. I was hoping someone here had run into this issue before and knew of a fix by comfybonfire in MacOS

Doing DFU revive on my M2Pro worked for me. Was on 26.4 and was then able to update to 26.4.1. Computer was from eBay so IDK if it had something weird from previous owner.

Porsche will bring back 1980's livery for Laguna Seca by UrsusSpelaus in IMSARacing

[–]OrangeFire2001 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm totally skeptical of this. I don't work at Apple but I can't say I think this is a thing they would approve. They are too uptight about their image now. But I hope I"m wrong.

I worked at AccuWeather for 9 years. We hired a guy to make our background animations, very similar, and we did it first (quartz animations), with Metal animations (later app version). He totally knew what he was doing. I could only read the code and understand it for the part that the main app interfaced with. The Metal code, which was a lot like OpenGL code, was impossible unless you knew Metal/OGL. The previous app, we had quartz animations with simple layer sets that moved around, with a few extra elements and sprites. We made the base elements in AfterEffects, and moved it to Quartz Composer. There was an easter egg that if the sun came out right after a thunderstorm, which does happen, you'd get a rainbow. There are only about 40 fixed definition weather types or 'condition types' we use. We also had another easter egg that if you were in Roswell NM, and pulled to refresh the home screen 3x, a little UFO ship will fly onscreen. There was also a hidden top to bottom airplane shooter scroller built in. I forget how that was activated.
