I recently purchased a Coral.ai co-processor for use with Frigate, an open-source security camera NVR that utilizes AI models to very accurately detect motion events. Google’s USB based Coral device promises to take the processing burden away from my forty Intel CPU cores that could barely handle it.
Black Friday came and so did a new X1 Extreme laptop from Lenovo. The X1 is a great workhorse tackling Photoshop, Illustrator, Resolve, Solidworks, and other serious apps. All work and no play isn’t fun for long and I wanted to take on a few games while visiting my younger siblings. This is where I

I was trying to use Fusion 360 to design some new welding projects, primarily a new welding cart and another secret that I’ll reveal later :). However I couldn’t get the software to work today.
