RTFM

It's still broken if you need to read the manual to be able to move components sanely.

Drag with connections is the default in KiCad 9?

Afaik in pcb editor default, as in just mouse click and drag, is Move all selected elements and nothing else. Drag with tracks is on D or right click menu. While dragging tracks does trigger Shove mode dragging components does not :(

He's talking about schematic editor though.

Personally I don't drag single parts with the mouse because it's two clicks for the same thing, so it's irrelevant which action that does. KiCad's best usability innovation is that you press M/G and the thing under the cursor gets selected automatically. And you don't need to keep the button down which is bad for accuracy and for your hand if you do it all day long.

So to drag is not click, release, click, hold, drag but M/G, move mouse.

The last bit is true though.


I would argue that profits are a result of what you do and not the purpose... Obviously intertwined but that's why its important to pick something you like

With that number of more satellites in orbit, launching a manned rocket into space is likely to be too risky due the amount of more debris and satellites. And will it be net energy positive solution ?


Unbelievable, but I guess this is the USA....


Alibre has a free option, which does not include sheetmetal bending but otherwise solid software


Alibre does not have a free option. They have a 30 day free trial and the low cost Atom3d package. I bought Atom3d and never use it because it's too painful. If I'm going to endure that much pain I might as well use FreeCAD which at least runs on Linux.


Thereis a huge difference between going to war somewhere and defending when being invaded


Monopoly is a free market game and thete is only one winner. Free markets as such is an utopia dream.


Except it isn't at all. The properties to buy all have a fixed price, costs of houses/hotels are fixed, rents are fixed and can't be adjusted, and most importantly, a) you can only buy a property if you randomly happen to land on it and b) people have no choice of what property to stay at (again, chosen by random dice)


The British banks and their tax heavens still very much control the world of money. The commonwealth barely hangs together outside of the world of cricket.....


I don't think I have read anything so wrong about tariffs in quite a while. Tariffs either protect local manufacturing and/or slows consumption of said import. In both cases, it is inflationary.


If you employ people on straight salaries, you are stuck. Not everyone is on share gravy train
