Blatant FUD.

You’re going to run into issues with this. Going one direction the material is going to be overly “compressed” and the other it will be beaded up on top of the last layer.

Other things like ironing will be impossible, but honestly the first issue is the worst so I’d just redo it.

You’re better off just casting with food safe resin. Keep in mind that virtually no resin is stable when heated unless you explicitly get a heat stable food safe resin.

Even “food safe” FDM runs the risk of contamination by mold and bacteria, since it’s quite hole filled even when it may look smooth. All it takes is one hole in the resin and you’ve got a recipe for contamination.

So, yes. It’s possible. Just keep in mind that you need to be careful. And if just make sure everything involved is food safe, even if it’s encased in the resin. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah that’s the only way to bring them forward is a control board swap, but it’s not plug and play for the most part.

Makerbots (at least the older ones, can’t confirm newer) use a “proprietary” instruction set and it’s my understanding that orca just never implemented it.

We’ve got one hanging out in the basement, have been meaning to poke at it explicitly for two tone business cards, but I hate the idea of having to fiddle with purse slicer.

I’ve considered upgrading it but that sounds like a whole thing, and I’m long past the point of wanting to play with a 3d printer as opposed to just using one that works.

I just wish you could use Orca with these.

Anime

Oh good thought. The material didn’t change, and we’ve ensured the humidity is correct, but it could potentially be a bad batch of filament. I’ll give that a quick run with something small to check.

The ability to do it aside, if feel it should be brought up that handing off things like this can lead to giving anything that gets through an “unofficial seal of approval” so to speak.

“This email looks phishy, but AI says it’s safe so I’ll ignore my initial concerns” is going to inevitably happen.

There’s also the fact that using a model to detect scams, means you can use that same model to train a different model on how to build scams that bypass the detection.

This also feels a little like a hammer looking for a nail. There have been tools to handle this without the insane computational requirements of an LLM for many years.

Fuck you for reminding me. Also, I agree.

Install a hypervisor and you can install as many operating systems as your hardware can support.

Ngl I always wonder how translations can be so… bad sometimes. Reading it in English, just leaves you scratching your head sometimes. Like someone types out the Japanese text, a second individual translated each line at random, a third then just copy pasted it in, and the final touched up things to make it not look shit. And at no point does anyone actually sit down and read the end result, because whole words are missing, or random letters are missing, or genders are incorrect, or the sentences just make no damn sense.

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t do all that myself by any means. But as a reader I’m just sat wondering how such obvious mistakes are overlooked.

I am potentially going to get some flack for this, but I don’t understand how they made it past the first season with beyblade. Maybe a second.

“Okay mom, you need to install this VPN, log in, and make sure it’s on whenever you’re using Immich. Can you install it for Dad too? Now I’m going to call grandma back and explain that it isn’t a Deen Peen Em and she’s never going to find that.”

There are times and places. The moment you want the non tech side of the family involved, a proper with server over the open internet is usually the better option.

It was normally used to rewatch home movies.

I want to mention, bit rot is real. The data can be read, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t degraded. Tape has a much lower chance of the data just… changing.

Now, does it truly matter? It depends.

If you are truly worried that your precious photos are going to rot away, then it may be worth it to invest in tapes. Irreplaceable data is priceless, after all.

This is what immediately came to mind for me.

We are cut of the same cloth.

Got my hopes up for nothing!

My major complaint about the Planka move is that the change was implemented in a minor version number, with less than a week of notice.

I normally update minor version numbers when past 1.0 without reading the notes, because you typically don’t expect major changes like “you’re going to get locked out of your instance” to be handled like that.

My dude, look into tailscale. Same concept, just as easy to set up, and likely more features. And it’s human made, human tested, and used by a large number of different type of end users.

Just be glad it gets a second season at all. The number of anime that are dead on the vine for no apparent reason is crazy.

It really comes down to what kind of speed you want. You can run some LLMs on older hardware “just fine” and many models without a dedicated GPU. The problem is that the time taken to generate responses gets to be crazy.

I ran DeepSeek on an old R410 for shits and giggles a while back, and it worked. It just took multiple minutes to actually give me a complete response.

To be fair, any kind of automated system can just break. So many factors come into play. Azure build pipelines for instance just sometimes decide they can’t communicate with their own servers, causing a build failure.

Oh, I legitimately wasn’t aware there was a free tier. I dropped them right around when the Funimation shuffle happened.

Yeah, this is a huge factor. Even if they’ve got dubs only a week behind, which was the case for season one of shield hero, I don’t want to sit and not watch the latest episode simply because it’s not dubbed. So subbed is what I went with constantly.
