I use Microsoft 3D Builder for most of my modeling stuff. Mainly for things like hardware type stuff. Or simple modifications to existing models if I need.
It has a simple interface, really easy to use. Builds models from simple shapes, no needing to learn a programming language or weird clunky interfaces.
No they do not have copies of every Bitlocker key.
Bitlocker by default creates a 48-bit recovery code that can be used to unlock an encrypted drive. If you run Windows with a personal Microsoft account it offers to backup that code into your Microsoft account in case your system needs recovered. The FBI submitted a supoena to request the code for a person’s encrypted drive. Microsoft provided it, as required by law.
Bitlocker does not require that key be created, and you don’t have to save it to Microsoft’s cloud.
This is just a case of people not knowing how things work and getting surprised when the data they save in someone else’s computer is accessed using the legal processes.
Yeah the texture sheet works, but I would never use it with PLA. I only use mine for TPU and sometimes polycarbonate. Anything else is either smooth or satin sheet.

Updated it right before I built Wine.
Using the Steam release of Fallout 3 goty. Created a clean wine prefix, configured it for Windows 7. Installed .Net 3.5 sp1 and Visual C++ runtimes for 2008 and 2010 just in case. Installed latest DXVK with winetricks. Modified the system.reg with regedit to add key and string for the installed path.
After that I was able to run the Launcher, set it to windowed and launch it.
Have spent about 5 hours so far on current play through. Has crashed a couple of times.
Already downloaded and built it on Slackware.
Was able to get Fallout 3 running on it without mods or community patches. Working fairly well, as long as its run windowed fullscreen I can tab out and back without it crashing.
Ruby nozzles are alright. I ran them for several years on my printer. But they can break if you aren’t careful. I broke mine well cleaning a clog by accidentally applying pressure sideways with my cleaning tool. Broke a chip off the tip.
I ran lots of carbon fiber, iron and steel hybrids, and glass fiber through my nozzle without any noticeable wear.
I ran the expensive Olsen Ruby, not sure how Durozzle compares.
Normal setup for IPv6 is to use public IPs everywhere, and use the firewall to block traffic to your internal systems.

This article has instructions for configuring NAT6 outbound in OPNSense. It makes the IPv6 work similar to IPv4. Local DHCP routed through single external IPv6 address.
Getting it up and running was as simple as swapping my AMD RX580 for the Intel Arc A770. The drivers are open source and built into the kernel and Mesa. It picked up and started working without issues.
Its ran every game I have smoothly at max settings. I haven’t had to turn down the graphics settings on a game yet. Though to be fair, the most graphic intensive game I play is No Man’s Sky.
Only issue I encountered was when I first got it I had to tell No Man’s Sky to use the Xe Vulkan support, instead of trying to use the old Intel HD version. Since then I’ve reinstalled No Man’s Sky a few times. Newer updates properly detect the Vulkan support.
I was impressed enough with its performance that I bought a second to upgrade my wife’s computer. She has been using that system to do modeling in Blender and hasn’t had any issues with it that I’ve heard of.
I have been quite happy with the Intel Arc card. If they are still making them when I do my next upgrade I will likely get another.
For Linux I would recommend AMD or Intel GPUs. They are less hassle getting up and running.
I’m currently running an Intel Arc A770 and its been running great. Was a lot more affordable than recent AMD or Nvidia cards.
Yeah, in 2025 doing encrypted email is a painful process. Every option is a hack on top of a 43 year old protocol.
Here is a howto from Mozilla on pgp with Thunderbird. It isn’t a pleasant process.

Communication between the email servers is normally encrypted with TLS. The email files themselves are rarely encrypted. Most providers that do encryption of email are using local server managed encryption, so the email providers would still be able to access it.
For proper end to end protection you would want to setup PGP between you and your recipients, and encrypt the email before its sent.
Reported in Apple Maps as incorrect name. Won’t change anything, but it needed to be done.
WSL version 1 is an API translation. WSL 2 runs Linux in a vm.
For a phone that is toted as being privacy respecting, its fucked they are preinstalling software from one of the worst privacy invading companies on the planet.
Disappointing
