minus-squarejopepa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoWhy are technical drawings so much cooler?
minus-squareAasikki@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoFun fact: if you design in fusion 360, you can make technical drawings quite easily with only a couple clicks.

minus-squareAasikki@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoTo completely master yeah maybe, but if you just want the cool drawings, it’ll automatically make them from your model (I meant that assuming you already use fusion).
minus-squareuis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoBecause engieneering is so much cooler.
minus-squareturmacar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoThe single screw version looks wrong somehow.
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·10 months agoWhy two different and incompatible options? Or, more generally, why can’t I ever read some USB spec and get out with less questions than I had in the beginning?
minus-squareScrath@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 months agoProbably for the same reason why they decided to rename USB 3.0. I guess they had a liquor cabinet in the room where they held their meeting
minus-squareBartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoBecause for some reason, the USBIF has been hit over and over again with the stupid stick ever since USB2 came out.
minus-squareTexMexBazooka@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·10 months agoBecause USB is pretty much neither universal or standardized, just the same shape and somewhat compatible
minus-squareRobotToaster@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoI wish things actually used this, it looks really stable.

minus-squareRobotToaster@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoThat’s cool, but I wouldn’t have anything to attach it to. It would be great if my laptop had those ports though.
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoYou usually do not want connectors to be too stable. The fact that it unplugs before any part breaking or pushing your devices away is almost always a feature, not a bug.

Nice

Fun fact: if you design in fusion 360, you can make technical drawings quite easily with only a couple clicks.
Fun fact: FreeCAD is better
