• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not getting the point.

  A: You csn shop there without an account. It’s your own choice. An account has pros and cons, and it’s your choice.

  B: I don’t know how it works in US, but in my country a McDonald’s account is a fair deal to me. They pay me a fair price for some personal info. And if I go to McDonald’s and I for any reason feel like they shouldn’t register that particular visit, I just don’t use my account.

  C: I want to use Windows, but logging into a Microsoft account does not give me any benefits worth the cons. So I use Windows without a Microsoft account. And it will be annoying to keep track of a “fake” account just for that.

  I don’t like to say it to anyone but my partner and my kids.

  I like to show it though. And let’s be honest, does saying it really mean that much, if you don’t show it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I can’t use it one-handed (using ALL physical buttons and ALL parts of the screen), then it’s not a phone.

  Seriously, this is how we used to define the difference between phones and tables - one-hand or two-hand use.

  Yeah, it seems like “developer mode” is pretty much just “old fashion mode”. If they do it right, it looks like a solution to me.

  But doing it right includes making it offially supported.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great.

  1: How do I get an RTSP or ONVIF? Every time I try to buy one, the stuff that is recommended is no longer available, or practically only available in US. (I haven’t checked in months maybe years, but this is where I usually get stuck.)

  2: So I get a camera, and I have an rpi or PC-based server with storage. I can see a stream, but that’s just an extra eye. How do I turn this into a surveillance camera, so I get a notification when there’s movement, and an archive of people in the monitored area?

  I’m hoping all the noise makes BL rethink sone choices before the new firmware goes live.

  At best, they will change their mind enough that we don’t loose anything significant, and we can just keep our printers.

  Then all we have to consider is if we trust BL enough to buy more printers from them. Or even if we want to buy their filament.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bought a glass too small for my fridge so I fixed it 3d printing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  3D printing is not as strong as injection molding the same material in the same shape.

  But you can beef it up. You can 3D print stuff much bulkier than injection molding can do.

  If you really want to, you can also use stronger materials.

  Also, even the weakest cheapo stuff you can get is plenty strong for most stuff people are printing.

  Knowing about what makes a part strong or weak helps a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there triangles in the infill that get filled with one layer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the answer. They are bridges to support the next layer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Hard did I screw myself by """Cleaning""" the Nozzle at 300°C... Multiple Times...?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a P1S. A nozzle that is hard/cumbersome to change is 15 USD. One that is almost as easy to change as a regular nozzle is 35 USD.

  Add shipping costs, maybe taxes, the fact that they can have crazy delays…

  I remember on my old printer I’d by a bag of nozzles even if I didn’t need them. But on a Bambu… Yeah, I’d try to salvage the nozzle too.

  I have no words for this. I’m… That’s… It’s just… Wow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They do here.

  If you fire someone just for getting sick, you can expect the union to sue you. They have really good lawyers. Your best option is to settle out of court. And now you are not popular with the union, giving you less leeway in the next case.

  It just easier and cheaper to do the right thing, which includes documentation of how you did your best to make it work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The employer isn’t required to let sick people be sick?? Or are they only required to grant unpaid sick leave?

  This is hard for me to wrap my head around. Here, if a new employee gets sick within the first 8 weeks, the employer can get the pay partially refunded. But the employer must always pay in full during sick leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excel enters its 40th year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Number of features that is has? Sure.

  Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

  As I use Excel at work, I’d be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

  I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?
