There is shops that can cast a ring based on your design.

You either send the 3D model, the resin ring you printed and the make a mold from it or the wax part.

This is more the road I would go towards. You can design your ring, maybe print it and try it on for a bit to make sure it’s the right size, iterate of necessary and then have it casted for you.

I like Grist, it’s a step closer to a database but is still as easy to use then a spreadsheet.

Personal disaster as well.

If something happens to me and I am incapacitated, or worse, my wife or my brother can request access to my vault and without any action in my side for a week they will have access to my vault. (Emergency access feature in bitwarden)

So it does not add the stress of needing to call ALL the utility companies, bank, school … To reset passwords or request emergency access.

I saw that first hand with my brother in law who had an accident and went into a coma. We were lucky that his computer wasn’t locked and all his password accessible on it.

Newpipe or tubular

I remember using Google translate that was doing that live on the phone camera and translating the text at the same time 15 years ago.

It’s what the EU is doing now

If you were not a troll you would have seen that all the technical documentation about how to contribute and how to host an instance in the repository is in English. The code is well documented 100% in English.

It make sense however that pages for users is in French, since it’s been developed for French users. If you want Geraldine, the secretary of the tax office in Trifouilly les Oies to use it, you need to address her in French.

They already developed alternatives for Microsoft Office:

https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/docs as an alternative to word

https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/grist as an alternative for excel and data management (much better than excel in my opinion)

It’s open source, actively developed with Germany and the Netherlands (as I’m writing this post the last commit to doc was 49min ago) and self hostableby any administration or company who want to do it.

It is open source and built on top of livekit which is open source.

All the tools of “La Suite Numerique” are open source.

I agree, it was the same on reddit.

It’s open source and they have documentation for self-hosting it !

Plastic is already made from the residues of gasoline production.

Sure we can extract a bit more gasoline from it but it’s not going to replace drilling oil.

And then carmakers will cry that Chinese cars are reading over the market.

By itself, it’s does not solve anything.

However it gives some extra data that can be used by the printer firmware.

The NFC tag contains data about the right printing temperatures, the color, the amount of filament left in there spool …

So a lot of QOL features can be developed with that. For example

• having a message of the amount of filament left in not enough to finish the print I’m about to start,
• auto adjust temperatures depending on the loaded filament,
• importing a library of available filament in the slicer just by taping the spool on the NFC reader.
• using this library of filament for multicolor/multi material printing. So instead of printing selecting each head individually in the slicer and then having to remember to load the right filament, right color in each head you can just select the filament you actually want and the printer will manage.

It took me a week to assemble my mk4 last year, between work, cores and kids but I loved the process.

I loved the process as well. The instruction is very well made and it’s an extremely satisfying process.

The printer is now getting close to 2500 hours of printing and still printing well.

No, I tried for a while but I gave up.

I switched to Onshape and I’m very happy with the switch.

I disagree, but in not in your situation so I can be wrong.

Unless you are producing way, way more electricity than you can use I think net metering is a great arrangement for the customer. (Not so much for the utility company)

The electricity is usually bought by the utility company at a much lower cost than what the customer is paying. Because the generation cost is only a percentage of the cost, there is taxes, maintenance of the grid …

For example in France we pay 0.1952€/kWh, but the utility is buying the solar electricity produced by household at 0.04€/kWh.

Meanwhile with net metering your electricity is virtually bought at the same price as what you are buying your electricity for.

Net metering is great, much better than being paid for the surplus.

With net metering the grid is basically an free, infinite, 100% effective battery.

How ? Is it just AC ?

We oscillate between 300 and 800kwh per month and it’s with an old water heater, an electric car charged at home, a dryer and electric oven.

There is probably still a bunch of old people with a dialup subscription that they never canceled.
