Nothing like a little floating plastic pile in the middle of an ocean can’t fix.

Just start. Even the most tech savvy of us started not knowing any of this. More importantly do what you’re interested in and that benefits you. You don’t have to have some grand implementation. Start simple and the rest follows.

I think this is fine. Blender and CAD are better in different use cases. But at the end of the day use what you’re comfortable with.

I’ve used blender for the longest time simply because I know it and I’ve used it for other things. Recently I learned FreeCAD to the point where I’m comfortable doing basic things with it.

The same way you have a lock on your front door “just in case”. It’s not emotional. It’s logical.

Microsoft is known for making things “optional” at first then eventually forcing it down everyone’s throats. Removing offline accounts is one of them.

It’s not so much the technology itself is malware, but its behavior replicates that of malware.

Next time, use a VPN so it doesn’t all show in the US.

Personally, I’d say no. At that point you are administering it, not hosting it yourself.

Quantity over quality…

Yeah this is the idea. Personally I think charging needs more emphasis on at-work and apartment charging because if you don’t live at a house, you essentially rely on public charging which isn’t good for the battery.

Also more hotels should have charging. Having to drive 15 minutes away just to charge is annoying.
