Progress on the epoxy lead bonding rig. Made a part in FreeCAD to attach the USB microscope to my Ender 3. Now I can navigate around the IC, a few microns at a time !!

After travelling extensively across Gadchiroli, the only good school for Tribal children I came across was the one started by Dr. Prakash Amte.

It has a science lab, art studio, digital lab, library, and serves some of the healthiest meals I have ever seen being provided to students. This year 8 tribal students from this school cracked NEET and will become doctors.

After visiting the school, I was left with one question: if Dr. Amte can build and run a school like this, why can’t the govt do the same despite having lakhs of crores at its disposal?

Lastly, it was truly an honour to meet the Amte couple, who have dedicated nearly 50 years of their lives to serving Tribal communities and their children. Their work and commitment are truly inspiring.

🚨 Bengaluru-based Othisis has successfully hot-fired its 5 kN fully cryogenic, 3D-printed rocket engine.

This engine has a total impulse of 100 kNs and will be used to launch and land their reusable hopper rocket planned for later this year.

#FreeCAD #feature in the pipeline per Ajinkya over at Mastodon: There's now basic GUI support to make Restricted Curves!

This is still a WIP & recommends to wait a couple of weeks (or more) before actually trying it.

This is a school for tribal children in Balaghat.

Would our politicians ever send their own children to a school like this?

The ASHA workers here have not received their salaries for last 6 months.

Found tap water in one of the Tribal villages in Balaghat where more than 30 kids have died.

Would the Ministers and MLAs make their own children drink this water?

CJP Impact on Tribal Schools!

New playground equipment has been installed at an Adivasi Ashram School in Dhanora Taluka, Maharashtra.

If this could be done in just a few days, why did Adivasi students have to wait all these years for it?

Hoping this won’t be a one-time thing and that tribal kids will continue to receive the much-needed facilities and support they need.

Wayne Stambaugh kicks off KiCon Europe 2026 with the KiCad status update

[Anool J M (@[email protected]) @anool]

@SpotifyCares @Spotify introduced podcasts on the platform around 2015. And the specific term in "Content Experience" incorporating advertisements in content, even for paying Premium subscribers was introduced only around 2021. So, "NO" , this hasn't been the case since the "early days"

[Anool J M (@[email protected]) @anool]

@Spotify @spotifyindia , why am I getting audio+ video advertisements in the middle of podcasts when I have a paid subscription ?
What am I paying for ?
Here is a screen grab after the advert stopped playing.

#FreeCAD #feature PartDesign gets a parametric Defeaturing command! Removes selected faces + rebuilds a clean solid based - no more manual workarounds for imported geometry cleanup.

Quickly edit STEP files or remove features like tangentially propagated fillets or geometry lumps

[i²cjak @i2cjak]

we're at the point where KiCad is exceeding Altium in featureset and it was even faster than I expected. I was thinking we'd have another year.

they're adding little things like pin function groups, but also HUGE ones like the geometric constraints. it's unbelievable.

Outstanding work, @MumbaiPolice! 👏 You’ve once again given us a live demonstration of how the VIP culture works, and how being a commoner is apparently a punishable offence.🥵

Two Indias. Two sets of rules. One glorious VIP culture!
