Thin styrene with a 22w Falcon 2 Pro?

I know you're not supposed to cut styrene with a diode laser, but has anyone tried cutting thin sheets (.020, .040) with a low power Falcon?

How do you label specimens?

A recent post (showing tools) made me think, "How do you label samples?" That's both the physical means (white paint & indelible marker, store each sample in its own baggie, etc) and the information recorded for a sample.

And I'm interested in both traditional methods and newer app-based methods.

(I ask as someone who studied geology in retirement, and is interested in how geologists work.)

UDM "Network" crash seems to be resolved

I'm now running UniFi OS 5.1.27 (RC channel) and Network 10.5.67 (with an update I have not accepted.) It's been up 10 days, without any failures/crashes of "Network". So I'm strongly inclined to think whatever the (likely resource-related) problem was with UniFi OS has been resolved.

And That's A Good Thing....

Any signs of a pending "Network" update?

Seems my UDM runs about a week now before Network crashes. I'm still not convinced my problem is hardware, I think I'd like to see a Network software update before pulling the trigger on hardware replacement. (And it's not clear to me what product(s) I'd need to replace the Dream Machine.)

Dream Machine: Losing access to administrative services

My office laptop is connected (ethernet and WiFi) to the Dream Machine in the same room. Lately, I've tried to log in from a web browser (using "Admin"). Then suddenly, the page refreshes to one that says "Network Offline". After that, I'm unable to log on. I get the same error using the UniFi app on my phone. The router & WiFi are working fine, it's the administrative stuff that is unavailable. Rebooting the DM does clear the problem, but that's extreme.

Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions? As far as I know, everything is up-to-date
