Mobile phone networks have had to log and every bit of customer metadata like that and hand it over on demand for decades.

Is it possible to create a 3D scan of the other hinge and print it using a 3D printer? Yes you can, it's sort of possible to do photogrammetry with a phone and some contrasty dust particles sprinkled on whatever you're scanning, but photogrammetry data is a pain in the rear end to clean up and process. Unless the function of your hinge depends on a very complicated geometry it's probably more convenient to use Freecad or the hobbyist version of Fusion 360, measure the relevant dimensions with some cheap plastic calipers and draw a new hinge based on that. Print two so they match.

This lot are a friendly bunch that can help you. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3365193 One salient point is that the shape of components is determined by the foibles of the material and the manufacturing process. You could 3D print a perfect copy of your broken hinge but it probably won't perform as well as the original. Tweaking the design to suit the peculiarities of 3D printing will give you something that looks different but works better.

Personally I just set my router password as “password”, safe in the knowledge that if it won’t connect upstairs it won’t connect outside the house and if they ever bust me for no licence because my kid was watching cartoons or something I can feign stupidity.

Anyone use Speedify VPN? It is able to merge together internet from two different sources like WiFi and 4G. I tried it out when our broadband was being dodgy. Now the broadband is fixed, I wonder how good it is for normal stuff compared to others.

I know all those names (in fact one of my best friends' fathers was one of the last British servicemen to leave Aden). But it wasn't taught in school (70s) and I very much doubt it is taught now.

Pablo Bluth posted:Really old stuff like the Roman era, Tudors, etc, a bit of the industrial revolution then the WW1-WW2 era (but not the subsequent cold war). The Cold War is one of the most common GCSE options (although pretty much entirely framed as US-USSR relations). It's reasonably common to cover it in Y9 as well to get a head start on GCSE content, but it depends very much on he school (when I taught, last 2 lessons I did for Y9 were 9/11 and the Iraq War). The empire usually gets a half term block somewhere in KS3, but that's not really enough time to get in to much depth with one lesson week. And slavery is often taught through a very American lens and linked to the Civil Rights movement (most of the textbooks and resources on which are painfully liberal).

Communist Thoughts posted:My history teacher insisted guerilla war was called that because they fought in jungles like gorillas Amazing, I feel like as a teenage know-it-all I would have just left the class at that point (like I used to flounce out of Religion if I wasn't trying to make the teacher have a meltdown  ).I guess the Boxer Rebellion is an actual example of a war being named after the way the insurgents fought tho. E: occasionally I feel bad for not having studied history in school, but then I see stuff like that and I accept that I would have just had to spend years unlearning purestrain ideology that was dumped into my teenage brain

There are currently 5 IOPC investigations going on into the Sarah Everard case. 1 about how the Met responded to the initial report of her going missing. 1 about how they arrested the officer. 1 for how he got injured in custody. 1 about how she went missing in the first place (This is starting to sound like he might have been in uniform/in a marked car) And finally one about how they swept an indecent exposure allegation against the murderer on the 28th of Feb under the rug. Absolutely institutional failure.

MrNemo posted:. Personally from an layman perspective, I'd have thought the best approach the government could take would be a Public/Private partnership style thing of setting up a civil service equivalent to all this crap - an internal tech/management consultancy that effectively exists to provide expertise running change and transformation projects within other government departments. gently caress, keep the same basic business model going to attract the same sort of talent (if that's important) but company 'profits' basically get returned to the Treasury. Of course that would mean not changing suppliers every 3-10 years, which obviously means that it won't be as cost efficient for *reasons*.
