Isnt the warp speed limit part of the in universe reason that Voyager has new variable nacelle geometry?
Good question I can't really speak to that I don't typically respond from my wrist so I'm not even sure what it offers in way of features there. Sorry.
Looks good!
I feel you on the smart gadgets thing. After the fall of pebble I swore off smart stuff and was into Casio and simpler amazefit neo type stuff for a while. Then I fell into casio PCB conversions and before I knew it I was back at basically smart watches again like the pinetime.
When I saw pebble was back I had to get it. I pulled my old pebble time out and started daily driving it.
The time 2 builds on the existing pebble vibe but just sort of smoothes a lot of edges, improves quality of life and feels like a solid upgrade. It's early days but I kind of love it.
Pros
Cons
Tl;Dr
Yeah I recommend it if you're like me and like the pebble philosophy and are willing to accept some deficiencies. If you want a polished finished product I'm not sure it's there yet. It's a nice watch in general though. Even without notifications it offers a lot of unique timekeeping functions.
It only seems to be configurable through the app. It's under Settings>Watch Tab>Display.

It's the Pebble Time 2! Just got it last week!
Definitely a feature that adds so much for little.
I would love to see a schedule for colours. Indiglow blue in the morning, tactical orange mid day, and red for night time.
See ya starside!
They really need to fix the bug that won't let you change from the default profile on steamdeck.
Man you know when people say they have an unpopular opinion usually it's some lukewarm take, but this is pure unique stance and while I absolutely do not share it I salute you for it.
Super cool! I love my Pager, using MeshOS right now, but will give this a try.
Hate to say it, but that AI-Gen "photo" of the T-pager is so distracting. My eyes knew right away it was wrong.
100% dude. I was right there with you back in the day. My first "online" experience was a net game of M1 over MacTCP to my buddy down the street. After it came out all my Macs had a copy of Infinity and I wasted countless hours in Forge making wild maps. It was a great time in my life. I still play Aleph One now and then to kill time because its like a warm blanket to me now.
I will definitely give this new Marathon a shot at some point, but this gameplay is just not where I am at. I don't really fit into this new world of online experiences, maybe I'm just getting old and Marathon is moving past me for a new age. I guess that's fair. Its just hard to see as a die hard fan. Oh well.
See ya starside.
Was getting tired of searching around my toolbox for my electric screwdriver and its bits so I figured it was time to design a nice simple stand with space for my most used bits. I decided to give it a tray just to help with not losing screws. The project was modelled up in blender in an hour or so using a mix of sub-d and boolean workflow. The stand printed out nice on my old dependable ender-3 in about 6 hours. I did a number of test prints of just the holes so that I could get the fit right. Getting The bit holes right took time as my printers accuracy is just a bit off and different bits had extremely small differences in dimension. The bit holes actually taper slightly so that the gradually become .5 mm smaller. This saved me having to throw out a whole print if I got it wrong.
So far it's met my goals. I have some changes I'd like to do if I ever reprint:
Link HERE should anyone want it.
Jasper (so named for her jasperite like patterning, my daughter likes minerals) adopted our family as a skinny little street cat. My daughter begged us for a cat for months and she just kinda showed up which was perfect. Shes got what we think are siblings that come by but shes the runt of the litter as she has remained small while the other kittens are now big bois. I kind of love that. Smol little cat thats tough as nails is the goods.
Apparently she had a place to crash across the street but stopped going as they had too many cats (her previous staff told us all about her and gave us their blessing to take her in). They think she was born and abandoned by momma cat in the alley out back. But she persevered and now she's got a forever home.
Shes street smart, but now lives with us mostly in doors and doesn't seem to mind. If she does go outside its just to hang on the back deck and take in the smells.
I freaking love this cat. Lots of personality, always down for some pets, constantly wants to be with us but can handle her own and will let you know when you're bugging her.
I've inherited all my grandfathers radio and telegraph equipment. I have lots of memories of sitting on his lap in his radio room while he talked to people on the other side of the world before the internet was really a thing. He passed away in the mid 90's and I think he would have loved this modern world and all its tools for instant communication.
This piece is likely from Signal Electrics Telegraph learners kit, there appears to be many eras of this kit from the 1920s until the 40s. I suspect he got this around the 30's but I'm not sure. Its a really cool piece of retro tech tho.
Got this design and was asked to produce an outdoor riverside rendering. Im not fully happy with it yet but I'm liking how its going. It needs more refinement and stochasm to help drive the realism, but for my first real blender archviz attempt with all assets and shaders my work I'm pretty happy with it so far.
I grabbed a beepy a little while back (if interested BE ADVISED: they've since gone dark and left a bunch of people holding out for one, I got really lucky and ordered super early) so I could work on some python stuff on the go. I didn't like having all the parts exposed, and the cases available seemed too flimsy for my liking.
I fired up blender and designed a unibody case for it. Printed it out on my Ender 3 and its been pretty great. I use it with some software I'm writing to turn a raspberry pi into a portable sensor data acquisition and visualization platform called a Picorder (Pi + Tricorder).
It took a couple revisions to get here, mostly to get the feel in the hand right. I wanted some bulbousness to make it easier to hold.
It's designed so the PCB slides into it and is affixed by two screws, and then a top cap is secured with four more screws to protect the top.
I've been printing a couple years now and enclosures are still my favourite item to design and print. So satisfying to hold something in your hand that was once just a 3D model and is now a fully real object. I wanted to add some content here as I've enjoyed looking at the other posts!
I wish you all easy first layers and good prints!
Action Star Trek games are fun, let's be honest. Most of us enjoyed Elite Force and that certainly had some scifi horror elements, maybe without going too hard. I hope this game is good and wish them well.
But personally I keep telling myself the perfect Star Trek game is an away mission based walking/tricorder simulator with LA Noire style interactions with characters and Myst-ish styled puzzles. Maybe something closer to the new Indiana Jones game but in spaaaace.
I keep waiting to see that game. I have no idea if it would work though. I thought Resurgence came close, but it definitely wasn't perfect.
