  Brass nozzles are cheap. Cheaper than a length of purge filament. But if you’re using a specialty nozzle, it can certainly be worth a good purge before throwing out an otherwise fine nozzle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help me identify a filament's material⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be some sort of purge filament. They’re meant to be run at high temperatures and forced through the nozzle so that they can flush out any leftover material stuck inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French court blocks Google project to limit news content in searches⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Google is trying to pick and choose who to filter out of results.

  The SEPM claims that Google was preparing to test a scheme that would exclude articles from specific media outlets with which it is in dispute over rights to online news content.

  Yes, sorry. I confused them for some reason.

  There was a crossover with Enterprise.

  Enterprise S2E7, Those Old Scientists.

  If I was a hungry sea turtle, I’d open the jars to check which one of them has jellyfish inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, for sure. Raytracing is very computationally intensive. It doesn’t make sense to do full-scene raytracing unless you have hardware that’s specifically designed for it. It works for something like quake since none of the scenes are particularly complex, but obviously you don’t hit anything close to the same framerates as you would with raster rendering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing Cyberpunk on an RX 7900XT at basically maxed out graphics, with only some of the raytracing reduced to get it to a consistent 60 fps. The game looks stupid good. But the raytracing is only for shadows and reflections and it has such a massive impact on performance, though I know my GPU is not as effective at raytracing as Nvidia would be.

  Like the other reply mentions, Control also looks great with raytracing on, but the scale is not the same as Cyberpunk, so the framerates don’t suffer as much.

  Even better, that splash screen was only 16 colors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Steam Deck plugin on Steam will bring GOG and Epic Games compatibility⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A paid plug in just seems pretty shitty to begin with.

  I know Heroic can add your GOG and Epic games to Steam which would make it moot, but unfortunately most people probably don’t use the desktop mode anyway.

  That’s worse than just not maintaining code. They could stop maintaining it, but keep the current version active. Instead, they remove it entirely, and now a physical object that was purchased becomes ewaste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you like to use this site if you know it’s trying to abuse you? There are countless others out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could use some help.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure how it works with your printer, but with mine on Klipper, after bed leveling I have to save and restart the firmware, and then I have to go back and select the profile that I just saved, otherwise it doesn’t use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A knowledgeable user will be aware of these shortcomings of so-called “ownership” of digital goods, but the average person doesn’t read license agreements and does not understand that their purchase can be revoked at any time by the seller.

  The average person makes a purchase and expects to own the item in question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because the arbitrators are hired by the company. Unless it’s an egregious situation, who’s going to side against the people signing their paycheck?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most disputes most likely fall far below the limit for small claims, where a lawyer is not required, or even allowed in many cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I make games and this literally happened to me this morning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For most people, it’s a hobby for fun, not a job.

  Those that want to make a job out of it tend to spread out the content creation to youtube and tiktok, and often sponsorships fill in the gaps.

  The ones that actually make a decent living only from streaming are a fraction of one percent.

  You raised my hopes, and dashed them quite expertly sir! Bravo!

  Gotcha, that makes sense. The article makes it seem like 10 is all you get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite some surprisingly chill Flight Simulator 2024 system requirements, the 'Ideal Spec' demands more RAM than storage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So the most expensive version of the game only includes 10 airports?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing the Palworld developers for "infringement of patent rights"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is about patents, not about copyrights, for anyone confused. It’s not because some of the characters look like existing pokemon, it’s likely about game mechanics that Nintendo holds patents on.
