  • Seems like an honest recommendation to me. You fit the apple use case pretty well, so if it works for you, great. I’d argue a stock pixel using stock android would be comparable in terms of not needing to mess with stuff since its a very curated experience, since google then controls the hardware and software, like apple.

    The trade off is you’re giving google (or apple) 100% access and control to everything you do on your phone.

    With a fairphone or any other android with (e, grapheneOS, calyxOS, lineage, etc) you WILL need to change some settings, maybe play around with it a bit to get it working how you want, but you are the one in control. Its really not that difficult to develop the small amount of technological knowledge needed given the amount of help available online and I’d say its a necessary life skill these days just like learning to use a computer became a necessary life skill.



  • Sorry for the late reply. Used can be a great option if you find stuff in good shape. Ya, for your use where you’re finding it sweaty doing an activity like biking or hiking where you will generate heat, I cant recommend the 2.5 layer/3 layer fabrics enough from whatever proper sailing or outdoor company you like. There’s always a trade off in moisture resistance vs breathability and when you are generating heat you need to be further towards the breathability side of the scale which is where these fabrics shine. Will they last as long as a heavy non-breathable jacket with 100%PVC bonded to 400g nylon? No. But as you’ve discovered having a jacket that lasts a long time doesn’t do you much good if you end up soaked from sweating in it all the time.


  • Prusaslicer has some pretty good stl manipulation tools built-in these days. You can merge, split, add common shapes, subtract shapes, etc.

    From the outside looking in, it seems like you should be able to do everything you want right in the slicer.

    I’ve found this to be preferable for working with existing stl’s (not as useful for editing) if you dont have the actual step files or 3mf files available.






  • I mean, not a great source… That’s just a link to a forum post and the only thing they reference for it “not being secure” was a github PR from 2021… Not saying its great they had teething issues, but that’s literally a year within starting up and they fixed all those issues right away, and had an independent audit done. So I kinda feel like using it to say they’re not secure now isn’t very useful. But if you have something showing their current deployment is insecure please share.

    They did a complete infrastructure overhaul at the start of 2023 too moving to their own hardware and such so I imagine more might have changed since 2021 than just those issues.
