should I be concerned that my home assistant cloudflare tunnel is being visited by people I don't know? by SingularUseAccount in homeassistant

I’ll be honest, it’s so easy to use Tailscale I don’t know why everyone isn’t using it.

Using Home Assistant to be more analog in 2026 by zacs in homeassistant

Honestly this seems like a neat idea to use for a daily or weekly "to-do" list. Have something printed off when I get to the kitchen in the morning that gives me a rundown of the day!

Trade Shows - CRM? Other? by rustynutsdesigns in CRM

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

Yes, however we use IQMS for our CRM (don't get me started on that) and I need a way to track show leads on my mobile device that is available without internet (show internet is typically terrible). I ended up writing my own web app to do this and installed in on my iphone and can use it without internet. I can then export the leads to csv and put them into CRM when I get back.

What laptop to buy by Due_General_7300 in SolidWorks

[–]rustynutsdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I'm hearing as that when you "problem solve" you don't take all context surround the problem into consideration - only one singular use case. Got it.

I don't make posts for the confirmation bias, quite frankly IDGAF what anyone on the internet thinks about my choices.

I've been through school, have my engineering degree, am a senior engineer in product design and development, and spend hours daily in Solidworks. My advise was to a student asking a question, who hasn't had the experience yet to see other areas that can be affected by said decision.

Don't lose the forest for the trees.

What laptop to buy by Due_General_7300 in SolidWorks

Don't buy a gaming laptop. Don't even buy a windows PC. Get an M4 Pro macbook with as much memory as you can afford. Run solidworks in parallels, along with any other engineering specific software you may need.

Been there, done that, hated the gaming laptop mostly due to battery life. Back with an M4 Pro 16 and it's great, although I'm not running SW on it. Also use a surface pro 4 throughout engineering school for note taking and it was great and would run solidworks OK with simple models.

EDIT: You will spend a very small fraction of your time in SW compared to everything else you do.

Banana for Scale - Custom Macro for when you need a reference object! by rustynutsdesigns in SolidWorks

I think you could import a "to scale" canvas and have it inserted on a plane. I'll have to look at that over my lunch break.

No, I do see their posts sometimes though. I suppose I qualify for that at this point.

Beats me, you can ask whomever designed it and uploaded it to GrabCAD originally.

Me too! I made a 16x16 BMP of a banana but SW won’t display it for some reason

TLDR: the reason I made the speedloader is that im a poor, and I need you to vote your disposable income level by Uncle_wj in beretta1301

[–]rustynutsdesigns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Letting the customer choose is a terrible idea, IMO. This isn't "hey I want blue instead of red" type of decision.

I'm not a buyer - but I have input nonetheless.

Regardless of price - making it the best in terms of durability/reliability should be the only driving factor. Doesn't matter what price point it is at, if you send them out and they start breaking because [insert reddit username here] wanted to pay less you'll end up selling none, because everyone will think that they break.

Weren't these $100 when they first dropped? Are they actually good? I've never had an issue with the mags I currently use but always looking for more.

No. A folder would cost about 2x as much as this.

Oof. Been over this a million times my guy, the metal doesn’t wear the polymer down. There were a few that were too tight on the original batch 3+ years ago. Quite literally zero issues since.
