“Its the customer’s that are wrong” is essentially what he is saying. Anyone with any marketing ability should know how insane that sounds. Build something that people want to use to drive growth. This is pretty much an admission that LLMs are a solution in search of a problem.

Stupid question, you sure you are using the right bed temperature? The feature of a PEI textured sheet is that it self released the part when the bed cools down,.

Back when I had a Prusa I never had any success with the textured sheet and PLA, however it worked perfectly with PETG.

What you might think is “common sense” may not be for others. There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.

Same as when people make fun of “obvious” research, there is value in having it peer reviewed as a reference for future researchers.

Have they actually gone up that much? Oraybe just specific models? I just bought a 12TB NAS drive on Black Friday and the price difference was less than $20 compared to when I tried to do the exact same thing the year before.

Yes, given the comment about averaging with the neighbours green will be overrepresented in the average. An additional (smaller) factor is that the colour filters aren’t perfect, and green in particular often has some signficant sensitivity to wavelengths that the red and blue colour filters are meant to pick up.

edit: One other factor I forgot, green photosites are often more sensitive than the red and blue photosites.

My question is “Why?” Pretty much everything on Spotify is already available elsewhere in FLAC format good for archiving rather than Spotify’s bad lossy compression.

I’ve never really found anything unique enough that I’ve felt the need to purchase it over a free option that is available. Frankly, these days I tend to get frustrated by all the obviously bad models out there and just use my CAD skill to properly design exactly what I want.

Also I’d never purchase just a STL file, I’m opposed to the format because it is so difficult to modify. I might consider buying a STEP file if it does something unique and useful to me while saving a bunch of modeling work.

Pretty much, I’ve been working on reducing my dependence on big tech companies by self hosting or using open source where possible. While impossible to do fully, at least if I lose an account things are either backed up or I’m only losing a small amount of my data.

Agreed, no matter what comes out Trackmania is the game that has me coming back day after day.

I’d love Jellyfin if not for their incredibly infuriating seek behaviour. Why do I have to press play to start the video again?

The STL export will take your nice parametric model and turn it into triangles. The software defaults of most CAD systems are terrible for this. (I’ll die on the hill that STL needs to be phased out and STEP needs to become the default for precisely this reason). If you add a vector in the slicer then it has the context to be able to choose the right quality when slicing.

If Windows overwrites your EFI partition then you won’t be able to boot into grub. It absolutely happens, I’ve had it happen with my main computer within the past year.

Windows generally works fine alongside Linux, but then randomly one day you could log on and it boots straight into Windows and to fix it you need to learn the “fun” task of fixing your system with arch-chroot.

I suspect the Prusa issues were because you had a bunch of people not taking care of the machines. My Prusa Mk3S was just as reliable as my Bambu P1S.

Xbox controllers can be a bit unreliable on Linux in my experience. I’ve got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C wireless that I quite like. They are way cheaper than an Xbox controller, have hall effect joysticks, and low measured latency.

It depends on the type of person you are. Those machines you reference are in a class of machine where you are likely to have to put a lot of work into them to get them running reliably and probably more money than if you just bought a better printer from the get go. They are machines to recommend people who want the 3D Printer to be their hobby rather than designing and printing stuff.

If that doesn’t sound like you, just buy a used Bambu or Prusa even if you need to delay the purchase to save up longer.

A cell’s voltage will change with how much energy it stores, but if you keep applying current to force more charge to move you can cause voltages to be quite far outside of the proper range. However you don’t want to do this as at minimum you are damaging the materials in the cell, or worse, cause a significant safety hazard where the cell could catch on fire.

You can look at the Discharge Curve of a cell which compares voltage vs capacity, as a rule of thumb, essentially the steeper the curve changes, the more damage you are doing to the cell by operating in the range.

Something is off with the link’s measurements. 3.7V is a li-ion cell’s nominal voltage, not its lower limit. Typical operating range is 3.0V - 4.2V. No battery chemistry I’m familiar with would have a lower cutoff as high as 3.7V.

Not an iOS user and it certainly seems like something they would be behind on, but with Android every password manager with a Android app will work since the hooks are built directly into Android. Other than websites and apps that don’t implement passwords properly it works pretty well.
