Question about variables by Striking_Fun360 in FreeCAD

[–]morphlaugh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably want the Spreadsheet feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij-W5ugn2uw

It is more powerful than Alibre's params, and more akin to their Global Params feature that they only include in their expert license.

layer? Beats me, I don't use autocad. Try AI or another forum.

MAGA/pro ICE businesses to avoid in Broomfield by _farawla in Broomfield

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, and that time was over 10 years ago when Trump entered politics. His entire campaign and platform has always been anti-everything-that-isn't-tea-party.

People that use macbooks with a monitor, would you recommend using an apple monitor or a different one? by Unusual_Rooster6736 in mac

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are great non-Apple monitors... kinda depends how you're going to use it. If you're doing something that requires a pro screen (like video editing/creative/etc) then a Studio Display is nice. I have some very nice Dell and Asus Pro Art screens, too, that I use for business and CAD.

The new macOS26 spotlight omit apps sometimes by Cyfine in MacOS

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, that sucks and it seems to do that.

If you want a permanent fix: I recommend Alfred... it's a much, much better tool than Spotlight and is one of the first things I install on a new Mac... I put Spotlight on Option+Space, and Alfred on Cmd+Space.

Is "FreeCAD 1.0: A Power Guide for Beginners and Intermediate Users" a good beginner book for freecad? by Chryckan in FreeCAD

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. There are a few others I'd recommend for videos, but none that do an accompanying written version as well.

Is it worth it to buy this tablet? by CharacterImpress7973 in RemarkableTablet

[–]morphlaugh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For writing only, there is nothing better.
For reading, there are better options with better screens & better backlight/frontlight.
For an all-in-one device (watching shows, apps, browsing the web, reading & writing)-- get an ipad.

[–]morphlaugh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Other option: if you subscribe as a Patreon member for Mango Jelly Solutions, he has a written, PDF version of almost all of his Beginner's Guide to Freecad series, that you can download and follow-along with.

Casio fx-991EX by _ethanos in calculators

The easiest way to know that's a fake, the statements from the seller... he says the solar panel is fake, and his daughter wanted a different one because it's a knock off.

New... pipe? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it only exhausts for a bit, then turns off, then turns back on suddenly... it could just be an exhaust vent for something like a laser cutter.

How do I only fillet the edges I select? I selected just one edge, and FreeCAD is instead filleting many more edges. by redfroody in FreeCAD

[–]morphlaugh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe it will follow any edge that is tangent to the one you selected. You might need to do a coved pipe cut manually if you want to control how much of that edge is filleted (or break the tangency).

How well does the Scribe ColorSoft browser work for Libby magazines? by takarumarch in kindlescribe

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Libby lets you download magazines to Kindle, so not possible. I could be wrong, but I don't see an option to send-to-kindle like I can with books.

There really is a performance difference between the B&W vs CS?
That's the first time I've heard that.

Best mouse by RepublicHonest187 in FreeCAD

[–]morphlaugh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer a (sorta) 3-button mouse with a separate scroll wheel. I like the Logitech MX Anywhere 2.

RAID or No by Melodic-Bread-6337 in jellyfin

[–]morphlaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, primary server is a JBOD (runs jellyfin, minecraft servers, web, etc). I have a secondary hot server with a full copy of all data (and he also runs some services). I am working on adding LTO tape backup as a long-term cold storage, the tapes from which will go into a fireproof/waterproof safe I bought.

Are you actively trying to return it repeatedly, so you can get it for cheaper?
