She also weighs as much as a truck!

It’s your for the low low price of redacted!

Thanks, it is very satisfying to type on. Oh… If you value your wallet, keep your knowledge of this hobby on an acquaintance only level.

I’ll have to get back to you on that. These will be my first ABS Keycaps. I didn’t plan it this way but my last 5 (6?) sets have all been PBT. Obviously I’m not worried about the legend disappearing but I’ll have to give a 6 month check in on the texture/feel.

The closest you are going to get is one of the Keychron customs Q6, K10, K5. They lack in the design department and some of the nice meterial options but are functional if you want a full custom layout.

Trying to find really nice full layout keyboards is basically a unicorn hunt.

I kept eyeballing the Keychron Q6 or the Ducky One 3 but neither scratched the itch for design and or aesthetics that I was looking for. or materials for that matter. Quality full size custom keeboards are almost non-existant. I think I’ve found maybe 6 total.

Thanks!

Some, I’ve used blender and fusion 360 for my resin prints. Blender isn’t great for cad work obviously but has worked for some things and definitely for the more artistic stuff.

I really love Fusion 360 but want to get rid of their dumb payment system but have yet to find a free alternative that is as easy to use. I use fusion maaaaybe 2 times every 3 months and like unlike blender it doesn’t feel like I have to keep using it constantly to remember all the shortcuts and menus etc. It just kind of works for the vast majority of stuff I do. I used to use Sketchup back when it was a real program and wasn’t online only.

This looks awesome. We’ll done.

Man I need to just buckle up and get myself a filament printer. I’ve got something similar floating around in my brain that I want to have but no one makes that I’ve been able to find. 2 Qi charging plates as well as 4(ish) front side USB charging ports. Headphone stand between the Qi chargers.m

I completely agree regarding AI being plastered on every piece of software tech. It is dumb and it makes people so much ND dumb and this is a hill I will absolutely die on.

Brother, skyrim has gotten insane. They now have in game vibrators that sync with REAL WORLD versions so you can feel the same thing IRL when it’s being used.

Part of the reason people freak out is when somebody throws random stats out there:

GOLF COURSES USE 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EVERY DAY. OMG!!!

What is neglected is the fact that in the USA just over 400 Billion gallons of water are used each day across all uses. Golf courses use a very tiny percentage in comparison. 0.0000025 id I did my math right.

Holy shit, an actually reasonable take on Lemmy regarding subscription services. I genuinely couldn’t believe what I was reading and was waiting for the “LOL, JK! Pirate everything, they don’t deserve my money and fuck every ad and paid service ine the universe.”

Thank you!

I got 17 out of 20. I pegged the bezerk drawing as generated because the bottom part of the armor lacked symmetry and didn’t make any sense. I got the other three line drawings incorrect.

I have spent WAAAAY to much of my freetime generating images and apparently have picked up an eye for the weird types of artifacts that these generators produce. The hardest one to articulate is that generated images have a very specific type of noise. Images create a very nice grainy type noise while digital images get more of the blocky jpeg artifacts and banding. Generated images get this weird hybrid of the two that isn’t consistent across the whole image.

Genuine question. What part of what I said makes me a sucker?

I only have so long to live on this earth. I’m not going to expend excessive amounts of energy on things that are unlikely to have any REAL effect on my life. I don’t give a shit if they listen in on me. I talk about work as a delivery driver (not Amazon), my wife’s work as a hotel front desk help, trackmania and Baldur’s Gate. Lots of state secret stuff there for me to be worried about.

Again as I said… find me an easy to use plug and play FOSS voice assistant system and I will throw Alexa in the trash.

I enjoy the home I have set up and I feel relaxed when I return from a long day at work. The Alexa system has helped make that a reality.

I have 7 in my house. I have my lights, plant humidifier, TV, air filter, Aquarium equipment, and others all hooked up to them. You can run almost anything you need to just by using your voice.

Getting ready to watch something on TV? “Alexa it’s movie time.” Turns on the TV and Switches the input to the Shield and opens up our go to media app. Shuts off all lights in the house except the living room. Dims those to 10% and changes them to red. Just enough light to see your snacks and the remote by. Turns off the sump filter for the Aquariums in just the living room but leaves the in tank bubble filter going for better silence. All with 4 spoken words and no need to work with multiple remotes and apps in your phone.

That’s just one example. We have an obscene amount of routines setup for nearly ecery scenario we have run across and adding new ones is easy.

Hell… We even have a routine where if you say “Alexa, do you know Desi naach?” It plays Naatu Naatu from every speaker in the house at full volume.

Show me a FOSS system as plug and play, powerful, and as EASY to use as Alexa and I’ll drop Alexa in the trash tommorow and switch.

I brings me joy when I tell her “Alexa, shut up you dumb bitch” and then she responds with that sad minor tone dejected sound.

I would love to get rid of my smart devices from amazon/Google but I have yet to find a single plug and play device that allows me to control all my lights, plant humidifiers, aquariums, TV, and whole house music by voice that isn’t from them or even better FOSS.

I fully blame autocorrect for that.

How you are viewing the book is incredibly valid.

The one way that I have come up with to describe a potential reason for the way the story is portrayed is this:

The ENTIRE series is from the perspective of a die hard semi-introverted software engineer and HUGE NERD who has this deep-seated need of just wanting to help and make things better.

Taking that into account everything written kind of states to make sense.

I love the series and it goes to some VERY interesting places.

There is one warning to give. At a certain point the book starts to suffer from scale creep. The characters are already able to do “X” so we need an enemy that can do “X+Y+Z” so now character learns to do "X+Y+Z TIME 10²“. At a certain point it’s best to just stop worrying about the explanations and just enjoy the story.

Highly recommend.
