The only feeling worse than "Why didn't I think of that?" is "I thought of that, but didn't do anything about it!"
My dentists office has a lot of artwork featuring the word "smile" and none with the word "chew."

Using a shop tablet that definitely exists
This is the follow-up to my previous post about a Linux tablet for my workshop. based on the suggestion by @yojimbo , I went with a Lenovo Duet 3i, apparently also known as an 82AT and/or 10IGL5. Sprung for the Pentium version with 8GB of RAM. It has arrived, and I’ve got it set up to start using....

Are conveyor lifts worse in Update 8?
I mean, I know Update 8 ruined everything it touched and some things it didn’t, but…I seem to remember being able to connect conveyor lifts directly between machines and splitters. I also seem to remember being able to reverse the direction of conveyor lifts while placing them. Neither of those seem to work anymore....

End tables are finally finished. (sh.itjust.works)
I guess I got the finish to look okay on the pine legs and such. Looks great on the oak tops and shelves. Sat down to draw these on Nov 1 and they’re finally next to my couch....
As far as I can tell, pine can't be finished.

My GTX-1080 is getting a little long in the tooth, I’m thinking of going all AMD on my Linux Mint gaming rig here, but…is there anything I need to do or install or uninstall to switch to an AMD card from an Nvidia one?...
There are emotions I don't know how to express without my glasses on.
I emote with my glasses a lot. Slowly pulling them off in amazement, sarcastically looking over the top of the rims, etc. How do people who can actually see handle it?
Which do you prefer: Handheld router, or router table?
Until fairly recently I owned just one router. I bought it, immediately installed it in the table it came with, and it has come out of the router table exactly once since then to cut a couple slots. I have since bought one of those little “trim routers” but I still do the bulk of my routing work in the table....

Recommend finishing products to me that aren't Minwax
Minwax has ruined enough of my projects. I’m looking for recommendations for wood finishing products, particularly stains and wiping varnishes, that actually work, are readily available on the East coast of the United States, and are not manufactured by Sherwin-Williams.
There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)
I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

Pictures posted to Lemmy: Does exif data survive?
I have occasionally posted like, cat photos to social media trusting that identifying metadata is removed, since the mouth breathers that design things like smart phones put social security numbers and goddamn GPS data in every picture that’s taken. Does Lemmy strip that data out, or am I gonna have to blank that myself?
Trains sometimes collide leaving the station
So I’ve got a manifold of train stations–one line comes in, branches into like six parallel train stations, and then they rejoin into one line. Each station has a block signal at each end, so the one-into-many section and the many-into-one section are blocks....
