Yeah I have used desktop notifications for such things (via notify-send etc), but I'm going to accept this explanation for transparent background as it makes some sense to me.
I'd assume Starlink satellites do the minimal possible amount of compute required (thus power used, thus heat generated) to provide service. The builders of data centers are hungry for as many watts on Earth as they can source.
Interesting been driving a Tesla since 2014 - worst issue I had was the seat belt recall - had to drive to the service center for a guy to tug on my seat belt and tell me I was all good… my current 2019 x has been rock solid - due for new tires but otherwise solid
Love it - I did something like this for when codex is done - a script runs to detect if I’m at my computer or not and then notify my phone if I walked away that it’s done - mostly so I can get back to slouching ;)
I got tired of fighting to keep Fusion running in wine so now Fusion is literally the only reason I maintain a windows partition to dual boot into. I hate that.
I’m no longer using it professionally so I could explore other options but FreeCAD kinda sucks (I will die on that hill), and OnShape offers the choice between my designs to be publicly visible, or a subscription that assumes I have a corporate expense account makes it not viable. (I don’t mind paying for good tools but there has to be a middle ground).
If Autodesk ever ported Fusion to Linux… I’d probably pay for a subscription just out of sheer elation ha.
For me when it’s front end I usually work with Claude and have codex review. Otherwise I just work with codex… Claude also if I’m being lazy and want a thing quickly
