oh my god i don't speak to my dad anymore cuz hes nutty but i know what he does for a living

and musk is currently pulling a "the software govs use is 50 years old which means there can be no advances"

and that's..... that's what my dad does for a living, he gets paid 500-1k an hour to make software that specifically communicates with old legacy software cause he's a 90s dev who knows the old languages still and it's more efficient to hire a freak who knows how to make something to bridge between the old and new programs than to fully trash the old system

like there's literally consultants that get hired for that specific purpose and as a software guy musk KNOWS this

Sony PLM-A35 Glasstron on PC Format (2000-11)

Translation in English:

Take a properly folded 507 monitor

and put it in your pocket...

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TRUE GIFT Among SONY's video and multimedia accessories, a device that is as much a technical curiosity as a convenience. The Glasstron glasses are more than just something to wear for a night's reading, but anyone who thinks they're just another gaming controller or VR device is mistaken. The similarity ends there, as this device also has two small screens, but each with a resolution of 180 000 pixels. The question may arise, if it is not a toy, then what is the main function of the new glasses. According to the manufacturer, Glasstron provides a picture as if you were watching a 52" screen from 2 meters away - this is roughly twice the size of large 72 cm TVs. In this case, the story is not about games, but about movies, DVDs and videos. Accordingly, in addition to the high-resolution screen, the glasses also feature a high-quality, built-in dynamic stereo sound system that can be used with two headphones. The Glasstron has traditional composite and S-Video inputs and can display any image that can provide a signal for them. for home video or DVD set, digital camera and camcorder, PlayStation, as well as a computer with a suitable video output. This can be done by an ordinary TV, and for the same price you can get a pretty nice piece, even if it is not from the top category. The question is whether in what cases can glasses costing approximately HUF 200,000 be a good choice compared to a large-screen TV - for example, anywhere and anytime, where and when we don't have a suitable TV set or monitor. If you need an everyday example, the best is a long plane or train journey: 14 hours in a trying session can be quite boring. The traveling manager of our time, on the other hand, just pulls out the portable DVD from the depths of the crocodile skin reticle, connects the Glasstron, which also works from the power supply, and the ideal home theater set is ready. A non-ordinary example would be a photojournalist recording a jungle fight, who can view the material recorded during a long day in good quality in the evening for further selection, without having to carry around a large monitor in his pocket.

After a lot of theory, practice. The Glasstron was supplied with a bunch of different cables, so it was not difficult to connect it to any of the already listed compatible devices, and the live test could immediately follow. Where possible, we used the S-Video input of the glasses for better image quality. The effect is quite convincing, since the barely 1.5 cm screens - since they are located very close to the eyes - fill almost the entire field of vision.

The quality of the movies I watched was also satisfactory, although it was undeniably visible on the screen that it does not provide as sharp an image as a monitor, since the resolution is only 800x225 pixels. This is not such a big problem for moving images, but it can cause problems when separating fine lines, such as text. This resolution was still more than enough to read the subtitles of the Mátrixr DVD, for example, but when we connected the glasses to a computer, there were already problems with sharpness. We tested the usability of Glasstron at several resolutions - the games, for example, worked quite well, but when the text was important, there were already problems: we could comfortably run programs only from the icons on the desktop, since the Start menu was quite noisy. We also ran Word as a basis for comparison, and the 16-point letters were clearly legible on the glasses' LCD at a resolution of 640x480.

The sound of the two earphones was crystal clear during the movies, and the music DVD also sounded in impeccable quality, the built-in AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System - Automatic volume control system), which cuts off unpleasant volume spikes that lead to distortions.

The system can provide a really effective film edge, ex. in a comfortable armchair, first, in a staked room. While we're at it, let's talk about comfort. Glasstron is surprisingly light, the weight of 95 grams is dwarfed by old VR helmets, so there would be no obstacle to longer use of the screen. However, there was a unanimous opinion that the Glasstron is quite tiring for the eyes: after half an hour it was nice to have a rest, some people thought it was comfortable for even less time the glasses. 

The manufacturer also warns about the strain on the eyes, which is why it does not recommend using the device under the age of 15. The last point of comfort is also important, mobility. Glasstron can be operated both from the mains (it supports several voltages, so it can be used in any country) and from a rechargeable battery. The whole device is light even with the power supply, so it is really comfortable to carry.

Glasstron will certainly be a rather expensive toy for the few, as it can only compete with a large-diameter monitor or TV screen under special circumstances. However, one inevitably stops for a moment to marvel at the technology used: the glasses are feather-light, yet provide excellent sound and convincing image quality, all in a space the size of a vest pocket.

Although it does not protect against the sun, it is just right for DVD

One inevitably stops for a moment to marvel at the technique used.

Pros and cons:

√ Amazing size √ USB connection √ Picture and sound quality X dazzling X For how much?

Opinion: 84%

2D to 3D CAD Conversion Services: How to Choose the Right Provider

In today’s digital design and manufacturing landscape, the demand for 2D to 3D CAD conversion services is at an all-time high. Companies working with legacy blueprints, hand-drawn sketches, or outdated file formats often face difficulties modernizing their design processes. Converting 2D drawings into 3D CAD models opens the door to better visual representation, advanced simulations, seamless manufacturing, and smoother collaboration across engineering teams.

However, while the advantages are clear, choosing the right CAD conversion provider can be a complex decision. Not all providers offer the same level of accuracy, speed, or software compatibility. A small mistake in geometry or tolerancing during the conversion process could lead to expensive reworks, manufacturing defects, or failed prototypes. That’s why it’s critical to evaluate your options carefully before outsourcing this essential task.

Why 2D to 3D CAD Conversion is Critical in 2025

As digital workflows become the norm, industries are rapidly moving away from static 2D files. While 2D CAD drawings can provide basic structural details, they lack the dimensional depth needed for today’s technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, digital twin simulation, and AR/VR-based product demos.

With a 3D CAD model, designers and engineers can rotate, dissect, and inspect components from every angle. Assembly instructions can be derived automatically, and simulations can predict stress points or part failures before a prototype is ever built. This reduces both time-to-market and material waste, especially valuable in sectors like automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment.

Moreover, many modern design and manufacturing systems require 3D models as standard input. Whether you’re integrating with PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) platforms or handing off models to contract manufacturers, 3D CAD files are far more versatile and production-ready.

What Makes a CAD Conversion Provider Truly Reliable?

One of the first things to look for in a service provider is their technical proficiency with CAD software. Whether your team uses Revit, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or CATIA, the provider should be familiar with both your input and desired output file formats. It’s also important they understand not just the software commands, but design logic, how different components interact within an assembly, or how part tolerances affect final performance.

Equally important is the provider’s ability to handle design intent. A reliable CAD expert won’t simply redraw lines in 3D space. Instead, they will interpret the original 2D documentation to understand functional relationships, motion paths, or load-bearing structures, then build accurate 3D models that reflect these engineering realities.

A strong provider will also demonstrate a clear quality control process. This might include model verification, peer reviews, and adherence to dimensioning standards such as ASME Y14.5 or ISO 16792. These checks help ensure that the 3D output is more than just visually correct; it’s geometrically and functionally sound for downstream applications.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring

Vet your CAD provider with these essential questions:

Can you show examples of similar 2D to 3D CAD projects?

What CAD platforms and formats do you support?

How do you ensure model accuracy and compliance?

Do you provide native, editable files?

What’s your process for revisions or edits?

These questions help eliminate guesswork and establish clear expectations upfront.

Benefits of Working with the Right CAD Partner

When you choose a competent and experienced CAD conversion provider, the advantages extend far beyond a single project. You��ll gain a long-term partner who understands your standards, workflows, and engineering priorities. This results in smoother collaboration, reduced onboarding time for new projects, and improved scalability.

Additionally, professional services often offer revision support, integration with cloud collaboration tools, and even documentation for downstream users like machinists or fabricators. These add-ons may not be immediately obvious, but can provide huge value over time.

Final Thoughts: Invest in Precision, Not Just Service

2D to 3D CAD conversion is more than just digitizing old drawings; it's about preserving design intent and preparing files for future-ready manufacturing. The right service provider brings both technical expertise and industry insight, ensuring your project stays on track and within spec.

Take your time to research, ask smart questions, and never compromise on quality.

Beyond the Jacket: Cat6a Riser vs Plenum – Which One Should You Choose in 2025?

When you're planning your next network installation, selecting the right Ethernet Cable goes beyond just speed and bandwidth. Sure, Cat6a cables are built for high-performance data transfer, supporting speeds up to 10 Gbps and a bandwidth of 750 MHz. But choosing between Cat6a plenum and Cat6a riser jackets can make a big difference in safety, compliance, and cost.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about Cat6a riser vs plenum cables, how they compare, and when to use each in residential and commercial network environments.

Understanding Cat6a Ethernet Cable Jackets

Cat6a Ethernet cables, short for Category 6 Augmented, are built to deliver superior performance compared to Cat5e and Cat6. Whether you’re wiring a smart home, outfitting a corporate office, or managing a data center, Cat6a is a reliable, future-proof choice.

But not all Cat6a cables are created equal. The “jacket” type—either riser (CMR) or plenum (CMP)—isn’t just about outer appearance. It determines where the cable can be safely installed based on fire codes and building regulations.

Comparing Cat6a Plenum and Riser Cables

Choosing between riser and plenum cables depends on where you're installing them. Here’s how they compare across key characteristics:

Each cable is certified to meet specific fire safety standards set by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Plenum cable, though more expensive, is designed for maximum safety in air circulation areas.

When to Use Cat6a Plenum Cable

Plenum cable is engineered for use in plenum spaces—areas within buildings that facilitate air circulation for heating and air conditioning systems. These areas tend to be more vulnerable to fire spread, so the cable installed there must be made of materials that minimize toxic smoke and resist flame propagation.

Common installation points include:

Drop ceilings

Raised floors

HVAC ducts and plenum shafts

Air returns in data centers

Attics and basements in commercial settings

In these spaces, Cat6a plenum cable offers both performance and peace of mind, helping meet safety codes while delivering reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

⚠️ Note: Never substitute a riser cable for a plenum-rated one in these spaces. Not only is it a violation of code—it’s a major fire hazard.

When to Use Cat6a Riser Cable

Cat6a riser cables are intended for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum environments, such as inside walls or between server rooms on different levels of a building. They’re fire-resistant to a degree but produce more toxic smoke when ignited.

Cat6a riser cable is a great option for:

Residential homes

Multi-story buildings (within wall runs)

Offices with contained vertical shafts

Non-air-handling vertical pathways

They’re also more affordable than plenum cables, making them a cost-effective choice when full plenum compliance isn’t required.

Performance Matters: Not Just the Jacket

Regardless of jacket type, Cat6a cables offer impressive specs that make them an excellent upgrade in 2025:

10 Gbps transmission over 100 meters (328 ft)

Up to 750 MHz bandwidth

Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e

Improved crosstalk protection with tight twists and spline separator

Ideal for high-speed internet, gaming, streaming, and enterprise-grade networks

Whether you're using a Cat6a plenum or riser cable, the internal construction remains nearly identical—the difference lies in how and where you install them.

How to Identify Plenum vs Riser Cable

At first glance, it’s hard to tell them apart. Always check the jacket labeling. Manufacturers clearly mark cable jackets with terms like “CMP,” “CMR,” “PLENUM,” or “RISER” to identify compliance. Some brands may also use codes like “PL,” “PLM,” or “FEP” for plenum cables and “PVC” for riser cables.

If you’re unsure, consult the manufacturer’s spec sheet or reach out to a licensed installer.

Can You Use Riser Cable in Plenum Spaces?

This is one of the most asked questions—and the answer is no.

Riser cables are not designed to be fire-safe in air handling spaces. Using them in plenum areas violates building codes and poses a serious risk of fire and toxic smoke. Only CMP-rated cables are permitted in such environments.

If budget is a concern, you can use a combination of cables—plenum for necessary areas and riser for wall runs—just be sure they’re installed in the right locations.

Longevity of Cat6a Plenum and Riser Cables

Ethernet cables don’t wear out quickly, but over time, they can degrade due to environmental factors and technological advancements. A well-installed Cat6a cable can last 8–10 years, sometimes longer, depending on how and where it's used.

When to Consider Replacing:

Visible wear or damaged jacket

Network performance drops (latency, speed loss)

Major building renovations or rewiring projects

Fire inspections requiring upgrades

Transition to newer standards or PoE systems

Follow best practices during installation—such as avoiding tight bends and using shielded connectors when needed—to extend the life of your cable infrastructure.

Which One Wins? Final Thoughts

So, who wins in the Cat6a Riser vs Plenum debate?

If you’re looking for cost savings in standard installations like wall runs or between floors, Cat6a riser cable is the logical pick.

But if safety, code compliance, and future-proofing your infrastructure matter most—especially in commercial or large residential buildings—Cat6a plenum cable is worth every penny.

In 2025, with high-speed connectivity and building safety taking center stage, knowing when and where to use each type of Cat6a cable will ensure your network is not only fast but also secure and code-compliant.
