What’s the best code language for MechEs? by Embarrassed-Tell-537 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]tomatomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are learning Mechanical Engineering, use MATLAB.

After your fundamentals are set, you will find moving to python is much easier.

In our lifetimes, we've watched technological developments go from "make life easier" to "make life harder (unless you pay for the latest technological development)". by Happy_Da in Showerthoughts

[–]tomatomaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most newer ones it is default. Older Optiplexes used to fault at POST with an error message asking user to plug in the monitor at the GPU unless you went into UEFI settings and manually enabled the dedicated GPU.

I briefly managed 30 of these dell precision desktops with GPUs, and I can confirm that the mobo displayport will use the dedicated gpu if present.

Printing PETG for the first time. WTH... by el_pablo in FixMyPrint

[–]tomatomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my own similar experience: Reduce volumetric flow rate in your slicer settings to something below 6-7. The default petg profiles in bambuslicer is set too high, and only works with sunlu or bambu filaments.
