In a way, isn’t this just saying windows 11 is not ready as a replacement? Because fuck me my work laptop drives me nutty, IT hasn’t locked down all the popups and I can’t fix it withut IT…

Damn it I havent launched my first rocket yet

Dont mean to pry, but I’ll gladly do whatever you’re doing

My dream is to make or at least be a part of the former

It is very hard

Ive had PETG sitting in my 40% humidity basement with no issues, I think thats a partial clog from retraction. If you have a direct drive try 1-2mm of retract, 3-4 for bowden. This will ooze more, but that’s the tradeoff

TIL of the neologism santorum, thank you for blessing my day

He made Blastar, an original copy of Space invaders

Then WHY fight something that would’ve been pennies and now will at least be dimes? As much as I want to believe musk is close to insolvency, I don’t think its quite possible yet. But then why die on these stupid little hills?

Try $48,000 USD only AFTER you’ve spent over $10,000 to be able to purchase every ship (175)

Check local sales, as much as I hate Facebook, marketplace around me sometimes has some nice steals, like my OG ender 5 for 100$, and that job was selling off their Prusa MK3s to afford MK4s about half off. You never know -_o_-

I own an Ender 3, 5, and a Prusa Mini. The mini is by far my most reliable printer, but both enders have had a lot of work done to them to get them where they are… and not quite click to print yet.

At one of my jobs I maintained some 35 Prusa Mk3s, about a dozen Elegoo’s, and witnessed their graveyard of Anycubics and some other brands. The Prusa’s generally only needed to be unclogged or have their nozzle changed less than once a month, with only a couple failures per week max, the room also was not temperature controlled and they had some… questionable engineering practices.

The elego’s were like pulling teeth, needing glue to keep it adhered, frequent clogs and skips, thermistors needing replacement after under 100 print hours, blobbing would get into the part coolig fans. Small leveling knobs. Prusa’s IMO were designed to be serviceable, but seem to need it way less.

Especially at a business, the premium on Prusa printers over say bambu labs is well worth their customer support. Ive never used a Bambu so I cant necessarily recommended or not, and I do wish I had an MMU on the cheap as you’d get with their mini, but Im most pleased with my Prusa mini

The best code its given me I’d been able to search for and find where it was taken. Hey it helped me discover some real human blogs with vastly more helpful information.

(If you’re curious, it was circa when there was that weird infight at openclosedAI with altman, I prompted to give code to find the rotational inertia per axis and to my surprise and suspicion the answer made too much sense. Backsearching I found where I believe it got this answer from)

I’ve practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.

Its not that bad just ignore the ads

Yeah I don’t go in replies because it’s always bots

There’s still some things on there

She didn’t really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn’t be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.

Statistically speaking, if the other 96% of normal people who play games of that genre couldn’t be asked to play it, what percent of the 4% would be any more interested?

And as a pretty long term linux user, any good game I care to play so far has had no need to market to my small demographic. Not using shitty practices rampant through AAA basically guarantees it just works under wine, it’s incredible really.

Also as someone slowly building a game, that won’t be a demographic I’ll explicitly market to. Linux support is necessary as it’s what I use, but also as a result of using open source software. Godot is the engine I picked as it was the most prominent FOSS option at the time, and turned out to be a damn good pick.

My point is, normal people don’t care about Linux, they just want something that entertains them. AAA continues to get more greedy and cut their deliveries, people who like games will feel more burned and start looking around.

If this can be a guiding light to Linux or whatever, then that’s great. But the people who care about that sort of thing have to make sure there actually are other things to look to, by the time Linux desktop user share reaches 5% (maybe).

No linux support

Well, you got 4% max that care about that, the rest though.

And 400mil and no marketing is surprising as usually it seems to go the other way, at least they delivered something… god the bar for AAA is low, but not wasting money on poorly targeted ads and otherwise hyping is new

Not sure how much this is worth, but it seems to me what happens is that a flap squeezes out forward when you’re a little too close, or when the bed isnt adhering well to the material, which can be sometimes improved with some more heat. By habit I always clean with Isopropyl and I notice it less on my textured Prusa bed.

I call this one: out of sight, out of mind

+1 for Shelly as I have or any other drop in relay, all the wiring you’ll need to do is behind the switchplate, you can decouple the input switch from the relay output and have HA trigger either output based on some input conditions. My fav config is having two flips of the switch perform a different action

Do make sure you’re running the nozzle, if you’re trying to move axis from the menu, Enders’ won’t let you move the extruder if it isn’t heated, it has fooled me a few times

I played so much of it thru steamlink while at work
