Sooo many awesome suggestions here for you, OP!

One thing I don't think I've seen yet, is that you should create your calendar events as barebones as possible and then edit them to add each additional detail. This will notify everyone else attached of the updates to your event, every time you update any of them.

Recently got a Sonnet xMac Pro Server case to put my MacPro6,1 into my rack. I'm getting things fitted into the Thunderbolt expansion housing and noticed this board with a socket on it. The board has power wired from the PSU, but there's nothing in the manual/product details (even though it's in the illustrations) that indicate what this connector is or what its intended purpose is. Can anyone enlighten me?

Edit: I just looked up a video of a version of this module with an outer case, for desktop use. Otherwise looks the same inside. It looks like this might provide power to 2 top-rear mounted fans. https://youtu.be/zG4I8q5JbyY?t=285&si=43mA0xhR-7ETQgPd

Obviously, I'm unqualified to diagnose myself with EDS, but there's several signs I'm seeing after reading the article posted here, and family members bringing it up as a potential cause/link to another medical condition of mine.

At the end of this month I have a new patient intake appointment with a Primary Care Physician (US healthcare unfortunately.) I'd like to ask them to help me determine if I might have a form of EDS. I've known since I was a child that I have hypermobility, but never knew EDS was even a thing or that it could impact other areas of health and the body, and the more I read into it the more "symptoms" I find that I just thought were odd but part of my funky physiology (scarring, bruising, digestion, foot pain have stood out the most.)

As I'm reading more and more into the forms of EDS and its traditional testing methods, I can't help but wonder if this doctor (or most others) will be hesitant or refuse to test for it. I'm not looking to get much more than knowledge for myself concerning the way my body behaves; I certainly don't expect or want a doctor to diagnose me and start throwing treatments on it.

This leads me to my question(s): Has anyone here that's been diagnosed with a form of EDS felt they were largely dismissed by their doctors, regarding EDS or testing? Also, for those that have been diagnosed, do you feel the diagnosis was ultimately helpful or hurtful to you and/or your treatment during medical care?

TIA

I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?

the HR drone could've probably explained it better, but it's possible for the background blur effect to distort a close up img on camera of a document, such as for I9. I recently went through a verification of my documents and had to do the same thing, except I made the call to unblur and immediately my docs were verifiable via camera.

Likely policy is to ask for blur effects to be disabled to remove the possibility of interference in be able to actually see/verify docs.

my honors bio teacher wouldn't even teach it (also in tn.) we spent ~2m on her acknowledging the chapter in our text book and she swiftly moved right on to another chapter.

I'm curious if anyone has tried alternative OSes on an EOL Chromebook?

Ive read using brunch can keep them receiving updates (without losing Android/Linux containers)

I tried out bliss is from a live usb last night and it was okay. Honestly the 3 launcher options just send to compete with each other.

Anyone tried any others out? If so, which ones, what was your experience like?

I looked these up too after seeing them mentioned in an interview. Definitely vaporware. Reviews are not good. It’s very limited in its capabilities vs an actual laptop, build quality is meh at best, and the glasses are not very accommodating to the wearer.

Neat premise, not there yet.

I tell people, like my friend that wanted a bunch of drivel kids stuff, that if they give me 2 hard drives I'll set them up as their own library.

I’m having a bit of a hard time with this, but I also acknowledge this is still relatively niche still.

I’d like to make printed recreations of some parts that I currently have. They’re unfortunately a bit complex to quickly recreate manually in a sculpting software. I do have an iPad PRo and a budget for any additional hardware to help. I was hoping I could find a carousel I could connect to the iPad Pro and use and app to control the carousel and scan the parts. I’m not finding anything.

Can anyone recommend a good setup to make 3D scans of these small parts, or an app/hardware combo that could help me accomplish this?

I don’t get this. For each of my devices running arch, the only tinkering I’ve encountered were for nitpicky customizations I wanted, which I have to do on another distro. After the arch installation completes it’s given me a fully functional desktop

I don't get why people always bring up the "drama" of the bubble color on iphone texts. That "drama"was overblown. I've never met anyone who actually cares if another person's using a different type of phone than them. Those people have got to be such a small minority of the population (and likely have a huge overlap with the ones that are just crap people already.) At this point bringing up the bubble colors is just a convenient way to fill out a dull argument.

I wish I could use this on one of my arm machines using grub, but themes don't seems to work on them ☹️
