Yeah I think it probably is. Streaming output from it causes the infrared LED to flash rapidly and the image isn't coming from the main lens, it's the smaller lens right next to it.

The really hilarious thing to me is that the NextPush app (unified push provider that can be run on your nextcloud server) is unsupported by nextcloud talk. But it is supported by a bunch of other competing applications.

Yeah.... I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like it that much. I would even go so far as to say that there really aren't any "good" rally games that I've played. There are some that do one or two things well, but none that really stand out and make me say "I really want to play that one".

AC's rally stuff is interesting because it looks great, has very good FFB (if you tune the surfacefx correctly), and it's very flexible, but the content is basically two cars and a handful of maps that are rather lackluster. RBR is the only thing that's really comparable since it's all mods too, it's similar in flexibility but has way more content and the gameplay is OK, but it looks it's age so it's a bit hard for me to get into it after playing something newer.

This probably won't help with EA and the like adding kernel-level anti-cheat 6 months after release....

works for me both on my archlinux machine and my steamdeck with steam and non-steam games. I've even played NFSU2 with it =] . I don't think it required any more configuration than just pairing for me, no special drivers or tools. Maybe it needs a firmware update (I don't know if that's a thing, just a thought)?

Ah, I see. I imagined your use of that sketch differently. Looks good!

[–] mranderson17@infosec.pub 2 points 9 months ago

When I do what you did but select "Create Symmetry Constraints" I get a fully constrained result as soon as the Sketcher Symmetry tool is finished. No other action is required.

You didn't select "Create Symmetry Constraints". I'm not sure if it will solve the issue completely, but it will probably make some difference.

One thing I see that may come back to bite you later: You can create sketches that make multiple bodies when padded, but I'm not sure why you would want to with the example in this video. If the sketch is two identical bodies mirrored across an X/Y/Z plane use the part design mirror feature and offset the sketch's attachment not the geometry in the sketch. It works better for that and keeps your sketches simpler, and you get to use symmetry for one side of the two things you are making because the origin will be in the center of one of the objects.

Sketches where the origin of the sketch isn't the approximate center of a single closed wire are annoying later if you want to reference them in other features or sketches.

Are you making sunglasses? 😎

lol, I just stuck with it I guess 🤣. Seems to work fine

Here's how it works for me: https://vimeo.com/1019673822

Sorry I forgot to click record cursor. But hopefully that's clear enough.

which also makes copies of the constraints which are completely independent from the original constraints on the left-hand side - delete the stupid new right-hand side constraints and slowly, painfully constrain the right-hand side copies to the original left-hand side elements

I feel like this is not how it works for me. It does copy the constraints and automatically create symmetry between any points across the selected center line, but if you're making a mirror why is that not what you want?

Also I'm unsure about the behavior in older versions of freecad, the constraint behavior of this feature is new in 1.0

You want Sketcher Symmetry but it's not quite what other CAD packages have. Select what you want to mirror, which is probably the entire sketch using the drag selection box, select the Sketcher Symmetry tool, then press J to add constraints.

It's not perfect, I suspect because it can't read your mind as well as the big CAD packages about where you want coincident constraints for joining lines, but it's mostly OK.

EDIT: I can't tell if you are describing the Sketcher Symmetry tool in your 4th paragraph or not. You will sometimes get over constraints where the end points intersect but you can delete them with one click and make those points coincident instead. I suppose this could be time consuming if you have a really really complicated sketch with multiple intersecting points, but that probably wouldn't pad anyway.

 

I don't seem to be able to comment on any posts on other lemmy instances. For example https://infosec.pub/c/privacyguides@lemmy.one . When I try to comment it just spins. I expected issues with lemmy.ml but I've now tried several instances and experience the same problems.

Also comments on many posts don't match what you see if you go directly to the remote instance to view the thread.

Is there some federation issue with infosec.pub?
