Poll needs a new option: "Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway"

This is neither legally nor morally a justification for exceeding the rights and privileges of holding a trademark, which in my opinion Honda very clearly did with that takedown request. I'm not a lawyer, but a very concerned citizen about the long term direction patents, IP, copyright, and...

I've tried TinkerCAD, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, but I think I have settled onto OnShape as my go to. The learning curve is definitely not flat, but getting over the initial difficulties with even knowing what you have selected is worth it. You can make some very good models very quickly once you get...

I wonder what the Magnuson Moss Act says about restricting access to third party designed replacement parts...... Requesting takedown of something with a Honda logo seems reasonable to me. Takedown of anything that simply references that it fits or is compatible with a Honda branded vehicle is...

I've had "the beast" up and running for almost 2 years now. It's been very useful for my prototyping and experimenting, but also a huge time suck. Just learning the intricacies of the various material blends, slicer options, etc might as well be a pH.D. program. For example, PLA, the basic /...

I've heard that idea discussed before. But I don't think I've run across any good science studying how bad wear imbalance from imbalanced capacity across cells in series really is. I'll do my own literature search, but if you know of any good primary or secondary articles on the subject, feel...

Agreed that repair to the cell level is probably too granular. Being able to replace a module that's 1/10th to 1/20th of the total pack seems about right to me. I would much rather remove and replace the weak module than the whole pack. Yes, the newest cells will be hindered by the old ones in...

I care about right to repair, and it is very much a factor in my next purchase decision. Tesla's history and future trajectory in this regard is in the top three reasons why I might NOT end up buying the CT, nor Model Y. Context: I run Linux on a Framework laptop, which has been about the best...

Is that where I got that? Totally forgot about that skit. LOL

My personal favorite goes something like this (for the rare case when they make it past Google Voice call screening): "Hi I'm calling about your vehicles warranty ..." I cut them off abruptly, and pretend to be in a huge hurry, but interested enough to call the CSR back on their personal cell...
