Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare
  • I did as well for my daily driver school laptop and I've been loving it so much. I'm considering switching my desktop to Linux as well over the summer, or dual booting at the very least

  • Need some advice on creating a waterproof container that allows for a sliding stainless steel rod
  • Thanks for all your responses! I should have mentioned that pneumatics and hydraulics are off the table at this time.

    Right now we're thinking of manufacturing a flexible seal that can travel with the rod while maintaining a seal with the housing. That might be over engineering a bit, but we'll be doing some testing this week to see how it goes!

    Hello lemgineers!

    I'm working on designing a claw that can be operated underwater. The plan is to use a linear actuator in a waterproof housing. The main issue is allowing the shaft to slide through without causing a leak. What's the best way to go about this?

    Need some tech support: 5G and wifi connected but the internet won't work.
  • Oh shoot good point, I'll do that now!

  • LOL you are amazing. This was exactly it! I completely forgot I accidentally opened tailscale earlier today and didn't realize it had an always-on connection enabled for some reason. I never properly configured it after getting this phone. Thank you so much! Glad to know I didn't break anything with the tiny fall it had

  • I completely forgot to mention lol I've restarted it multiple times and no dice. I have an e-sim, so I doubt that would be the issue, especially since connecting to wifi doesn't even work. It's super strange cause it says I'm connected, but then the internet just doesn't work. It doesn't even say "connected - no internet" or anything, like it's fully connected. I don't believe it's my carrier cause my partner hasn't been having issues, and it will usually show an exclamation point on the 5G symbol if that's the case and restarting often helps with that.

    Also adding, my hotspot works just fine. I'm currently connected to it with my laptop.

    Edit: Solved! I forgot I had accidentally opened a VPN app that was not yet configured and it had "always-on" enabled by default. Turned it off and everything worked fine again.

    Hello friends! I dropped my Pixel 8 today and everything appeared to be fine until I realized nothing on discord would load and spotify said I was not connected to the internet. It showed that I was on 5G and should have had great connection, but nothing. I tried connecting to my work wifi, which connected, but again there's no internet when I try to use any apps.

    Basically my phone is connected to wifi/5G but the internet just doesn't work after the drop.

    If y'all could help me figure out what's going on, if it's fixable, etc, that would be lovely. I'd be happy to provide any additional information that could be useful. Also if it matters, I'm using grapheneOS.

    What is this lovely creature?

    Found on the central coast of California.

    Lil bro just randomly crawled out from under my legs when I was on the toilet at work and paused just long enough for me to get some good pics before he kept going on with his day.

    (First time making a lemmy post so hopefully I'm adding images correctly!) !
