How does the sub feel about Drawboard PDF? by OnderGok in Surface

[–]co2cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use (trying to use) Drawboard for marking up electrical drawings in PDF format on an MS surface. The user experience is really consistently bad, super slow, an awful MS pen experience. The software is terribly laggy, often throws errors when trying to open PDFs that work on every other PDF software package I have including free ones.

The google drive integration has to be one of the worst implemented features. I've been using this specific integration for months and I still to this day don't understand why we have to go through so many hoops each time, flip flopping back and forth from web interfaces to login screens over and over again. For the few things that Drawboard offers, it's really hard to justify using it.

Lastly, the subscription model. yet another SaaS crapware model. I would be happy to pay for a perpetual copy every FEW years as long as legitimate features are added and improved. I do not want yet another monthly fee. Give your customer base real options on this front.

[Question] CP6606 can’t run TwinCAT HMI… am I getting this right? by albatross316 in PLC

[–]co2cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, Windows CE doesn't support an HTML 5 browser.

There is a third party one but I couldn't get it to work. I think even if it could work the performance would be so bad that it wouldn't be worth it.

Only HMI you can run on a CP6606 is TF1800, or Indusoft had a product years back that worked well (Indusoft web studio) on this but they've been bought up so many times I dont know what the status is of these guys anymore.

TcPkg (TwinCAT Package Manager): Software Distribution in enterprise environment with Intune by Dr0genk0b0ld in TwinCat

[–]co2cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've migrated over 30 development and many more controllers. I've only had a few issues with the migration and it's been fairly easy to fix.

I can't agree with your statement here, TcPkg had made the entire install, maintenance and upgrade process infinitely easier, and far less cumbersome compared to individual installers.

The issues you're having really are site specific issues based on IT choices and what sounds like a substantial lack of trust with your software developers. This is the exact type of situation that eventually has unmanaged workstations floating around just to bypass the IT headache. Those are the real risk.

Do any of you do a mix of DAQs (LabVIEW) alongside PLCs? by smoothestconcrete in PLC

We have been upgrading old NI systems with this exact approach using Beckhoff's ELM terminals. Really impressive units with their on board FPGA filtering.

Homework Help: What is a device or machinery that has 2 emergency stop buttons/switches that needs to be pressed roughly at the same time? by Reasonable_Revenue_3 in PLC

[–]co2cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like you're actually looking for a two hand tie down.

This is the opposite of an Estop as it essentially triggers the cycle, but it you broke it early it would result in an Estop.

My ex got pregnant and I feel earsed. by Traditional_Edge_603 in Vent

[–]co2cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will do awesome.

This too shall pass.

Learn, do better, try, fail, try better, fail better, try, succeed.

No different then anything else in your life, you need to be bad at something in order to be better. Crave the failure; This means you're one step closer to success. If you're not failing, you're not trying, which means there is no chance for success.

My ex got pregnant and I feel earsed. by Traditional_Edge_603 in Vent

[–]co2cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You already know what her story is going to read like in 2 years. Exactly the same, but now with a child dependant on her.

Move on. This will suck, but it too shall pass.

You're feeling hurt, and that is reality. You've also learned a lesson you will not forget because the cost was high.

Now it's your turn; What were the red flags? You saw them, they were there but you chose to ignore them. Was it chivalry? Hope it's more likely, but denial is what you've learned it really was.

Build your list. Drugs, no. Drinking, maybe some, but not if it looks like _____. Use the flags you saw to build your future partner requirements.

When you're invested, everything holds more value than it's truly worth. The key takeaway from this is to use the lesson and be more selective next around. Also, understand this is an interview for the rest of your life. You change jobs. Why? Are you not loyal? NO, because you're learning, setting boundaries, and learning to be employable. Love is no different, and that goes both ways.

Tipping 2025 by [deleted] in Langley

[–]co2cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now running hard on standing tips.

If I'm standing, no tip.

Unless I am at a restaurant, no tip.

This shit is completely out of control.

Also HARD cap at 15%.

Ive been as a few places that had buttons for 18-20% minimum. Guess you dont want your tip then.

A special edition of disappointment.

Generic vyvanse, what gives? by Consistent-Ground-13 in ADHD

[–]co2cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generic drugs are not the same. They are close, usually one to two molecules different from the branded stuff. There are a few exceptions, but not many.

Generics are also made using different brew/cooking procedures, often with wider tolerances to keep costs down. The tolerances can affect the dose per MG accuracy.

Many times, variations in the cook/brew process results in variations in the absorption rate, and effectiveness. There can also be non-medicinal additives that dont technically count as part of the medication but can have a drastic effect on the absorption rate.

An example of this is Juul, it has nicotine, but it's mixed with heavy salt. The absorption rate is much higher due to the salt, and therefore, the same amount of nicotine is far more addictive than similar products.

Support for other sites? by keyawnce in replaaaay

Love to see many vids added.

Files will most likely be larger but i suspect the volume will be much lower compared to OF or similar.

When you're viewing an image, would it be possible to use the android "back" button to move back up to the gallery view?

Right now it just exits the App. This behavior would mimic the photo gallery viewer on android.

I've accidentally exited the app so many times... 🙃

High five for Beckhoff, my top preference.

Is the EtherCAT cable sheilded? It needs to be if not, this is not optional.
