WordPress has been around since 2003. It’s grown from a basic blogging platform into a very popular fully-featured content management system. It’s easy to set up and even easier to use. No wonder it currently powers over 34% of websites around the world! Unfortunately, this also means that it is […]
First of those ‘speciality’ filaments I’ve ever used, perfectly suited for all those statue and sculpture prints. Eryone’s Marble PLA is super easy to use but it does have a few kinks. First Impressions I won’t lie. When I ordered this material I was so excited to get my hands […]
This is the very first step towards a more tactile flight simming experience that I designed all by myself using Autodesk Fusion 360 CAD tool. Turned out pretty well. In its current form, it does have a few shortcomings but I’m already working on a new one, which will come […]
A couple of months ago, I bought Creality’s Ender 3. Great 200 quid printer but oh so noisy! Especially the squeak the steppers made were very annoying and were basically stopping me from printing late evenings and overnights. So I decided to make it ‘shut up’. And I succeeded. And […]
Most of us have ben there: we created a system image for our Raspberry Pi, stuck it in, and fire it up. And then we noticed that the system doesn’t seem to be using the whole microSD card’s capacity to store your documents, photos, etc. Thankfully, there’s an easy fix […]
A lot of the tutorials on my blog is, or is going to be, about a PC-based flight simulation. I suspect most of you already have that perfect rig to play with but for those who are just getting into flight simming and building their own A320 components based on […]
This filament is one of the first that I tried when I started my 3D printing journey in early 2019. I ordered it after trying out another of ERYONE filaments, black and white PLA. I was very impressed with those two so I thought I’ll be more adventurous and order the […]
A while back, when I found out LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 3 won’t play newer MKV video formats, I decided to replace it with my spare 2014 Mac mini. All went well, Kodi runs a lot better and I get smooth playback of even the most demanding movies and […]
While I’m waiting for a few parts to come to get going making those Korry switches I mentioned in my previous post, I thought I’ll take a crack at the basics of controlling the aircraft’s spead, heading, altitude and vertical speed using an Arduino and rotary encoders. It was tough […]
I confess, I am a big fan of all things Apple. The last couple of years I’ve owed many wonderful devices Apple’s produced. Their computers as well as portables. I’ve also been working as an IT support guy/consultant long enough to know that backing up data is essential. Hard drives […]
