Extra bonus points if both the correct and misspelt ones are both used but in similar but different ways

x86 is the architecture, amd64 is an extention on that architecture so it’s still x86 just with an instruction set extension that allows for native 64 bit computing.

x86 was designed to be nearly fully backwards compatible back to the i386 or even the 8086 so whatever code that could run on those CPUs would work on modern “amd64” CPUs.

Pretty much x86 is a snowball rolling down a hill. It keeps picking up new things and growing as time goes on but the core of it will always be the same.

I’ve a massive blob like this one time when the nozzle got clogged and the extruder created enough pressure to push the filament through the threads of the hotend block. It was on an Anet A8 and I ripped a lead off the thermistor trying to get the plastic off so I ended up replacing the entire hotend.

You can try to heat up the hotend to a fair bit under the melting point of the filament to where it’s soft and somewhat pliable but not runny or sticky and then trying to peel it off. Though you’d risk damaging any leads to the thermistor, heater, or your hands if you’re not careful.

Good luck on fixing the printer and getting back to printing again. 3D printing is a really time consuming hobby

Not to my knowledge. You can go back from act 2 to the act 1 areas but you can’t go from act 3 back to the act 1 and 2 area

Gonna defend gen z a bit here. Unlike older generations, gen z was raised in a large part only on locked down, touch screen interface devices like smartphones and tablets. These devices are designed to not be tampered with, designed and streamlined to “just work” for certain tasks without any hassle.

If you only have a smartphone or tablet, how are you supposed to learn how to use a desktop os? How are you supposed to learn how to use a file system? How are you supposed to learn how to install programs outside of a central app store? How are you supposed to learn to type on a physical keyboard if you do not own one?

I worked as a public school technician for a while and we used Chromebooks at my school system. Chromebooks are just as locked down if not more locked down than a smartphone due to school restrictions imposed via Google’s management interface. Sure they have a physical keyboard and “files” but many interfaces nowadays are point and click rather than typing. The filesystem (at least on the ones I worked with) were locked down to just the Downloads, Documents, Pictures, etc. directories with everything else locked down and inaccessible.

Schools (at least the ones I went to and worked at) don’t teach typing classes anymore. They don’t teach cursive classes. They don’t teach any classes on how to use technology outside of a few Microsoft certification programs that students have to chose to be in (and are awfully dull and will put you to sleep).

Gen Z does not have these technology skills because they largely do not have access to anything that they can use to learn these skills and they aren’t taught them by anyone. Gen Z is just expected to know these skills from being exposed to technology but that’s not how it works in the real world.

These people aren’t dumb as rocks either like so many older people say they are. It’s a bell curve, you’ll have the people dumb as rocks, the average person, and the Albert Einsteins. Most people here on lemmy fall closer to the “Albert Einstein” end of the tech savvy curve so there’s a lot of bias here. But I’ve had so many cases where I’ve met Boomers, Gen X, and Millennial who just can’t grasp technology at all.

Also, before someone says “they can just look it up on the internet”, they have no reason to. What’s the point of looking up these skills if they cannot practice them anywhere? Sure, you’ll have a few that are curious and interested in it but a vast majority of people have interests that lie outside of tech skills.

Tl;dr Gen Z is just expected to know technology and thus aren’t taught how to use it or even have access to non-locked down devices.

It was. There’s a partially working Linux build available and it looks like they’re trying to port to windows too

One of my local gas stations had that to where it was so loud you can hear them in the car. A few weeks after they installed them, someone came by with a hand drill and drilled out all of the speakers. Not sure what happened to that hero but we need more people like them.

I got bit in the ass by Google when I decided to try using their domain service and they decided to nuke it and sell it to Squarespace. Google domains was so good too. I jumped ship to Porkbun before my domains were completely locked into Squarespace so I managed to get out before it was too late thankfully

It’d almost definitely kill Google if they were to kill Gmail. Gmail, YouTube, and Android are pretty much what brings people to use Google services in the first place. I was just referencing the people that panicked when they saw the fake email going around that looked like it was from Google themselves about sunsetting Gmail. Google’s reputation didn’t help quell the panic which is why they had to come out to the public saying they won’t shut down Gmail

Google does have a reputation for unnecessary and/or prematurely killing everything it makes so I wouldn’t blame people for believing an email that looked like it was from Google saying that Gmail is shutting down in August

I think the reason Lemmy took off is because it’s decentralized and a single person or corporation can’t easily enshittify it to make stonks go up before jumping ship with their golden parachute. Tildes being invite only also really killed any chance of really growing imo. It was the same mistake Google+ made. I never really heard of any of the alternatives other than kbin since they didn’t have the same voice as lemmy and kbin had in the whole reddit API enshitification and death of 3rd party clients

It’s just a bad habit for me really. I’m so used to reddit immediately slaughtering anyone who doesn’t conform with the hivemind even though Lemmy isn’t like that

We still had a networked DOS 3.1 server running at my last job for the intercom system in the building when I was IT that ended up blowing up in a power surge we had (it was wired into a direct 12v power rail that for some reason had no surge protection). Of course they did the obvious thing to do and spent $4k to get the exact same DOS 3.1 box second hand to replace it with
