Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don't trust torrents anymore.
Honestly, I don't trust PDFs anymore unless they're from places I know are "safe" which kind of sucks because I've been getting back into RC as a hobby and it's hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I'm having to try my luck with jpg and png files.
A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I've been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn't shit is proving difficult.
I've legitimately tried that, even tried no alarm at all.
The no alarm is a bad idea just because every so often I just sleep right on through, if I've had a particularly harsh day.
I think my brain just goes "you sneaky fuck, I know you REALLY want to get up at 7 so we are getting up at 630ishjust to be sure."
