Have you seen 3D animations from the IDF showing secret Hamas hideouts?

According to Israel's +972 magazine, many have "serious spatial inaccuracies or prefabricated assets—sourced not from classified intelligence but rather from commercial libraries, content creators, and cultural institutions."

An analysis of dozens of Israeli army animations discovered digital assets sourced not from classified intelligence but commercial libraries and content creators.

rotating objects is an awesome way to see what items look like from all different types of directions - without the troublesome walking that would usually be a part of that process. rotation is integral in every industry from logistics to fiction, where authors "turn" ideas around in their minds

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

fiddly but also loving mapping out the wiring in fusion, it really helped last time, and the micromillimeter affordances I can make as a result really make a difference

new wood rack WIP - wood frame 25cm spaced 22ml holes for dowl, but using lots of repurpused old rods, some with shims. lots of variable lateral storage has been a dream for a while! all wood is found / scavenged from skips and the side of the road, most of the screws even, so zero cost materials

half sized and only one side, (calling it a wing) linear slide rail so can extend further and use depth of space between wings for compute / screen

not sure about extra width, trying version with rails in the body, but wont have the understorage

loving the half sized models they make fun fidgets

omg my wife had the best idea - shave your head, make it a wig, keep head shaved, never need haircut again. maybe maintain a rats tail for replacement parts

samputer mach 2 - my test is using it in bed or the tram and latest config has been great. next goal is extend wing range, make hinges stiffer, do lids etc .. also thinking could i build the 'puter into the board, like a module that KB runs over.
