It does this from Outlook on android too. It’s horrid

Prusa, all day long if you want to be 3d printing. Then build a voron if you want a 3d printer hobby.
- Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded 1 week ago:
There’s 3 peaks for newbies here in the southern hemisphere. New years, end of Feb when the university kids arrive back to start a new year, and September when spring hits and they do the 8 weeks to summer promotions.
- Comment on People who have eaten since December 31st, 2025, why are you trying to start new shit? 1 week ago:
Dude here in New Zealand it’s about to be the 2nd. We’re approaching multiple hangovers in twentysix
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 1 week ago:
My phone (Xperia 1mk6) doesn’t support esims in the international version. But I have a physical sim I can load esims onto. Best of both worlds.
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 2 weeks ago:
Swap everything on a Sunday for clean, thats towels sheets, teatowel etc. They live on a heated towel rail so dry out well between uses.
We have a few sets of nice towels, just got two more last year after a decade or so.
Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.
- Comment on Why aren't tall people also wider? 2 weeks ago:
I’m fairly tall, 6’2" I quite often meet people much taller than me, that I don’t realise are really that tall, because they are more in proportion. So maybe it’s a perception problem, that you only notice tall skinny folks and overlook the tall average proportion folk.
- Comment on Is there a place you can gamble on if it rains tomorrow? 2 weeks ago:
Ask an Australian, they’ll take a bet on anything.
- Comment on SODIMM-to-DIMM adapters offer a workaround for DDR5 price hikes 2 weeks ago:
If you’re slowing it down beyond ddr4 or ddr3 Levels, you’re better buying an older system that’s not as inflated. Though related to that, the price of ddr4 motherboards has shot up as there’s a shortage due to people pairing it with affordable ram
- Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 2 weeks ago:
Pre travel sims, we had multi dollar per megabyte roaming fees. Smart phones were only any good when you could find a McDonald’s to steal some wifi from.
- Comment on xkcd #3182: Telescope Types 3 weeks ago:
It will only affect it materially if they cross where the light is converged / infocus. So if you put a big piece of paper where the wires are, the image will be blurred. So if you look at the wires from the focal point, they are also blurred enough to be able to see what’s behind them
- Comment on How does the private equity bubble compare to the AI bubble if at all? 4 weeks ago:
Cloud compute was attractive to 3d rendering for a while, as you could put your non urgent renders on the cloud at the lowest priority and take advantage of off peak pricing. Now model training demand has wiped out off peak pricing and forced the cloud rendering cost way higher than rendering locally.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 5 weeks ago:
When the cost to generate new code has become so cheap,and the cost of devs maintaining code they didn’t write gets higher. There’s a huge shift happening to just throw out the code and regenerate it instead. Next year will be the find out phase, where the massive decline in code quality catches up with big projects.
- Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users 5 weeks ago:
I asked it for some OfficeScript to copy the current tab in excel rename it with this week’s date and set a few cells to the current date too. It gave me a 3 page script for the TV show The Office.
- Comment on New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it 5 weeks ago:
The cost will come down further with scale. The great thing about that is that dead lithium batteries will have value, so people will be much less inclined to throw them in the trash or dump them elsewhere

- Comment on What’s Hiding Inside Haribo’s Power Bank and Headphones? 1 month ago:
Why are they so light? Do they way less than high rated 18650 cells would be for the rated capacity? If so they are probably inflating the rating. As is shockingly common for no name powerbanks. There are very minimal usb boards you can load 18650s into, or attach quad copter cells to, 3d print your own minimal case that suits your needs with the highest capacity and quality cells you can afford.

- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 month ago:
Awesome to hear that! I’ve only half been paying attention to the Connect channel
- Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 1 month ago:
Connect is good for me, don’t know what the situation with the dev is though, seems like development might have stopped
- Comment on Do you guys know how awesome a printer is that is just working? 1 month ago:
Just as satisfying when you print something with several parts and the tolerance is right first time. You hear all about people printing several prototype parts to dial in the design. Nothing to make you feel like a design king by first print mic drop.

Geez, you’ve eaten so many chemicals, that’s all you are made up of now
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 2 months ago:
Your best hope for storage is it not getting much wetter, ziploc bags with silica are fine, a tub is easier to paw through and grab what you need quickly.
A drier will actually refresh a roll and get it printing close to new again. Look for excess stringing for the early signs, and the filament bubbling and/or popping as it comes out of the nozzle for extreme signs of wetness.
I’m in a fairly dry environment, I’ll happily leave a roll on the printer for a week without adverse effects. But always store an opened roll off the printer in the tub. 3d printer filament storage
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 2 months ago:
Store filament in a big plastic tub with a kg of colour change silica. But yes a filament dryer is a good investment too. Just a single roll one will do.

What should we call our service so people are clear it’s free of American influence… Hmmm ‘America On Line’

- Comment on Can mental health medication change nature of dreams? 2 months ago:
I pretty much stopped remembering my dreams after some serious surgery when I was younger. I put it down to the 12+ hours of anesthetic. I occasionally remember that I had dreamt when I wake up in a weird mood. But no idea what the dream was about.
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 2 months ago:
Keeping people in unproductive jobs isn’t an excuse to keep a drain on the the system and bloating costs of health care.
What do they do in other countries that don’t have those roles? They find jobs elsewhere or train in something else. Of course you wouldn’t be able to reform healthcare overnight, it would take a decade or a generation.
- Comment on Did they stop throwing dildos at the WNBA? 2 months ago:
Not the Western New Brunswick Archery championships?
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 2 months ago:
Think about all the people involved in health care that aren’t involved in actually providing healthcare. Billing, debt collection, assessing insurance claims, denying claims, legal fighting over denied claims, advertising etc.
All that money is better spent providing healthcare.
