He jumped from about 128,000ft / 39,000 m. While an extreme altitude, it is very much inside the stratosphere. The prevailing accepted boundary of space is the Karman line which starts at 328,000 ft / 100,000 m and is much, much higher.

    In WWII it's generally agreed that the NAZIs had better, more sophisticated weapons. The US and Soviets just built more which ended up being a winning strategy.

    That's a common myth. Like any other nation, Germany had a couple things they did better and things they were worse at. They never had broad technological supremacy at any point in the war.

    Framework 16 3D Printed Palm Rest (programming.dev)
     

    I finally got around to installing a left justified, 3D printed palm rest for the touchpad.

    My printer isn't big enough so I paid a local service and it came out great. I chose black PLA with a textured look and feel. It took about 10 minutes to swap and install. On first boot, the touchpad didn't work but after taking it apart and trying again, no problems.

    If Framework or a third party offered a single piece, aluminum or magnesium part, I would be first in line to buy it but for now, this works really well.
