Is it possible to create a Keyshot material that will look as realistic as this image or do I need to find a way to model this in CAD or some other software before moving to Keyshot?
My wife used to be able to control our Hue lights from her phone but hasn’t been able to in awhile and in my app settings I see no way to add someone. I’ve also asked Gemini and the tips it gave were not accurate. Any help would be appreciated!
Our unprotected balcony faces northwest and gets quite hot in the afternoon which is when we’d most like to use it. It also gets quite windy so we want to make sure it won’t blow away when it’s folded down. You think it’s safe to get an umbrella and what kind should we look out for?
My pair are falling apart and kinda sad to hear that the V3s are now synthetic. I’ve heard good things about the Ligera Pro TF so I’m wondering if anyone has tried both and how they compare as leather alternatives.
I have a medium volume foot and a relatively narrow heel. I tried the Furon V8 Elite TF but get really terrible pinky toe pain and can’t wear them. I also have the Premier 3 FG which seem to fit well but I only ever play on turf or super old AG and didn’t love the raised heel on the turf version.
I used infinity new tab pro for Chrome for years but apparently it's pretty shady or so I've heard. I switched to Firefox for awhile and used Renewed Tab which doesn't sync among devices but has an import/export option that worked for awhile but doesn't seem to work anymore. I think it may have something to do with it being my work MacBook Pro which manages my browser.
I just want a grid of links to all of the sites I commonly use that syncs between my 2 Macs and a Windows machine and has the ability to use custom icons for those links. At this point I'm open to using any browser as long as it has both Windows/Mac versions.

I just discovered this in the EdgeFillet command after being a Rhino user for over 15 years. Any idea when they added this or am I moron and its always been there? It seems to work for the most part as well.
The amount of time I've spent manually rebuilding a model so I could change a small fillet is insane.
I work as an in-house designer for a medium to small sized tech company and we’ve recently gone through a slight reorg where another layer of management has been added. Previously it was very flat with 4 Industrial Designers of various experience levels reporting to our head of ID but now the two most junior designers each report to one of the two more senior designers who then report to our head of ID (who also has a few more direct reports now).
There’s really only a single industrial designer per project and the only design feedback I get is 1:1 with our head of ID but with the reorg it seems like we’ll be getting less direct feedback from him. We’ve never really done group design reviews and our biweekly team meeting is more about project status updates and announcements for our head of ID than for specific design critiques.
The only other corporate experience I have was for only a few months 10+ years ago at a very large tech company and I know the VP of design held weekly or biweekly design reviews which I never got to attend. I’m curious if this is something that is common or if you’ve found it helpful for your team. I’ve always been a fan of getting as many eyes on a design as possible and our ME department does this with every product and very detailed and extensive ME architecture reviews.
Someone was selling an Xbox Ally X for more than ebay so I offered him fair value for it and he was super rude and told me to "get it elsewhere" which I replied I would and for less. Looks like he left me a bad review and before I could leave him one in return he already blocked me. I should have taken his other negative reviews seriously but didn't know you could do this. His rating is 4.3 stars with 77 reviews.
Is there any recourse and can I get this review removed? I take my facebook reviews and reputation seriously as I try to be a good buyer/seller.
This gym is like brand new and right across the street from my office so this really sucks. Any idea why it closed and if it's being replaced with another gym?
I work as an Industrial Designer for a tech company and have been using an M2 16 inch Macbook Pro since I started working here. I predominantly use Rhino 8, Keyshot, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop but have been considering switching to a PC so I can natively use NX instead of having to use slow as balls virtual machine. Our engineers use NX and I'm looking to use that more to better control the production ID.
My IT department seems to only offer the P16 Gen 3 which is a whale of a computer with it's power brick compared to my Macbook Pro that I don't want to have to lug around to the office and to meetings as I'm only in the office 3 days a week. I've asked for a P1 but the one IT guy is saying they used to offer the P1 Gen 3 but had lots of complaints and stopped issuing them because they "couldn't handle the heavy load" whatever that means.
Is he right? It seems like the direct ThinkPad replacement for my Macbook Pro which I've had no issues with in terms of performance or thermal throttling and is much more portable.
I was using a Garmin Vivofit 3 as a pocket pedometer but recently lost it and I'm wondering how well the Band 7 would work in your pocket for tracking steps. I prefer using a step tracker in my pocket instead of on my wrist as I get a lot of false positives wearing on my wrists and I already wear an Apple Watch which I'm not getting rid of.
The only pocket pedometers you can buy now are way bigger than they need to be, seemed to be designed for old people, and you have to manually reset the count every morning. Also the band 7 is only a little more expensive and the battery life is still pretty long.
I used to use a Garmin Vivofit 3 as a pocket pedometer to track my steps because it's so small -- has anyone tried doing the same with the Air? I'm curious if it still tracks steps accurately and if you can turn off the HR monitor to extend the battery life. I find that wrist worn fitness trackers drastically overestimate my number of steps and I also have an Apple watch that I prefer to wear for a variety of reasons (notifications, UI, unlocking Apple devices, etc).
Our small ID team (4 industrial designers and a design director) are moving back under engineering which is where we were just before I first started 8 years ago. We reported to the head of ME back then but now my director and the head of ME report to a head of product development (who has a project management background) who then reports to the CTO.
Previously we were in a pretty new division called Strategy and Innovation which comprised ID, UX, research, and some people that migrated from product management. Before that, we were under product management and the company I work for is mostly B2B technology but also a little bit of consumer.
I’m curious how other companies are structured as I’ve only worked in consulting before this job which was a very flat org chart. I think it will be a positive change as we work most closely with ME and will be moved adjacent to where they work while previously we were on opposite sides of the campus.
We have the lightning version of the current Apple TV remote and the right navigation button double clicks and is incredibly frustrating so I'm looking for a replacement. Are any of the third party remotes any good or should I just get a new remote from Apple? Or for $70 more just upgrade my entire Apple TV as I'm still on the 2021 version?
I've narrowed my mattress search down to these two latex hybrid mattresses that seem to offer the best value for a talalay latex hybrid. I'm 5'10" 160lbs, my wife is 5'4" 115lbs and we're both side sleepers. I also sleep hot. The mattresses appear to be very similar with some minor differences. The Luxerion has a 1" support foam layer under the coils, they use different coils, and the cover materials are different. Curious to hear which one will be more comfortable, durable, or sleep cooler. And which company is better to deal with.

I also looked at the Nolah Natural, Happsy, and Naturepedic. Thanks in advance!
Is there any way to keep this notification from popping up constantly? I've cleared this notification I don't know how many times and it will not go away.
I have 5 or 6 Harbor Freight tote bags that I use for grocerices and have lasted me probably 10 years now but are starting to rip and fall apart. They're made from some sort of polyester fabric and have a rigid plastic bottom so I'm looking for replacements made from renewable materials. Can anyone recommend some similar tote bags with a rigid bottom? The ones I have are a great size at 14"W x 9"L x 15"H.
Ever since the iOS 26 update my 2nd gen Apple TV 4k has been dog slow and buggy so I'm thinking about upgrading to the 3rd gen. Our remote also registers two clicks when pressing the right button on the directional pad which is incredibly annoying and another reason I want to upgrade. I've been waiting for several years for a refresh but who knows when Apple will finally release it at this point. Should I expect an improvement in performance by upgrading or should I just wait? I would probably go with the Wifi only model as I can't get an ethernet cable to our living room TV.
