I'm similar with 20+ years of experience with Autodesk products so freecad was (and often still is) frustrating for me because I know what I need to do but don't know the freecad ways. Claude has been very helpful when I give it the context of my experience because it relates the Autodesk way to the freecad way in its explanations.
Incorrect, T-Mobile's 2G network is active until this coming April. Both their 3G networks (theirs and the Sprint legacy one) are shut down as they used more spectrum. Keeping GSM going the spectrum use is minimal.
My work has taken me to a refinery a few times. It always made me very uneasy being in a place where they taught us to back in to parking spaces in orientation and there are "explosion proof" shelters in various places. Having watched US Chemical Safety Board videos doesn't help either.
Backing in to parking spaces is standard clipboard warrior best practice stuff and has been for the past couple decades. It reduces backing accidents from a tiny number per huge number of man hours to a tinier number per huge number of man hours on average (not necessarily for a specific work flow, best practices are not a replacement for good judgement and evaluation of specific circumstances). It has nothing to do with the safety of a job site and has more to do with the size of the company that runs it (small companies don't tend to issue blanket policies for that kind of stuff).
I gave up on my rocketbook for this reason. Cleaning the pages with isopropyl alcohol helps, but even it doesn't bring the pages back to how well they worked when new.
I've found the same issue - and I've discovered it's because of the pen. The pen they give to you by default writes poorly once your notebook has been used up. The clickable one and skinny ones are fine and write like day 1.
