  • Yay FreeCAD 1.1! 🎉 Looking really good. Seems the devs saved a few significant surprises for the final release that weren’t obvious in the release candidates.

    On a different note: Is Deltahedra AI voiced? They used to make obvious TTS videos, but there was a switch at some point and now the videos have impeccable English with a stereotypical French accent (too perfect, maybe, both the English and the accent?), and then there are certain words where they jump between two pronunciations (e.g., fillet and filet).

    Does anybody know? I can’t tell anymore.

    Looks like a switching regulator. Why there are two of them I don’t know, but all those electrolytic caps, inductors, and beefy diodes around there are very telling.

    The fuse is labeled as PTC so should be a resetting type that does not destroy itself on overload.

    If the problem was indeed a bug shorting out the IC itself you probably have a good chance of getting it back by just replacing the IC, if you can identify it.









  • Github Actions really are horrible to work with. If I could spin up a container and test the commands on the fly that would make things so much easier. But having to do the commit push refresh webpage insanity every time… It is really cool when the pipeline works, but getting there is very painful.
