Any pointers to resources or groups around 3D printed musical instruments? Sounds really interesting!

This already happened with Affinity Photo v1 on iOS; a lot of functionality did not work after an iOS update. It feels like Apple changed something in their libraries, so it doesn't even matter how robust your software is if the underlying OS doesn't honor compatibility.

I'm one who started with only a BS, and I'm at a top-20 public university in the US. It depends on your PIs, but I've definitely been appreciated on many of the projects I've worked on (e.g., listed with 2nd most ownership percentage on invention disclosures, which also won a campus-wide yearly award).

Admittedly, my path was convoluted; I started as a engineer to help with non-research software at a large lab, and got pulled on to projects via reputation. But I was replacing a Master's student who was essentially at the same academic level as me anyway. It does pay less, but I made the tradeoff for the quality of projects, which was worth more to me at this point in my career. It's still much more than I need, just not at industry levels.

I explained my problem in a confusing way. The main problem is solely that I can't find the word I want to say. Normally, I'd just freeze up and just keep racking my brain for the right word, but my coping mechanism has been finding a related word or phrase to keep the communication going.

But, you mention practicing. What do you think is the activity to practice? Are there tests/games/exercises that strengthen that part of thinking you know of?

Some things I have thought about looking into:

* Reading aloud text in a very quick speed. Maybe I need more practice in just brain-to-mouth coordination?

* Flash card style training, from just words to even actor headshots (because that feeling of "I know that person but I can't remember their name" is a similar feeling).

* Just speaking more, maybe getting into VR Chat or something similar.

Could you send some links to the community you found who were hacking away on the partial refresh drivers? I have a 7.5" that I started with and would love to work off of whatever has already been accomplished.

I start chats with a separate "Hey" message solely just for the chance that the recipient is sharing their screen in a meeting. That way others in the meeting will only see the "Hey" popup and not any details of the rest of my message.

>amazon had a rule that you can't sell your product on amazon and sell it for less on your own site.

Why not create an Amazon exclusive SKU, the same way manufacturers do for Costco and the like?

Anyone have recommendations for a relay that could handle 20A but would work with the ESP8266's 3.3V?

Is it reusable, or is it a one time deploy?
