- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 2 months ago:
You know, I was really sick and tired when they updated the nvidia shield with the new android TV version that makes most of the screen show stuff that are basically ads. It didn’t even let me show only stuff I was interested in and this constant “oh you are hovering over this item for 0.000001s so you seem to be interested in this, let me start the video for you with audio” no god damnit I was reading something else or got a text.
I had to install a different launcher so that I could only show on the screen what I actually wanted to see. I have basically removed or reduced all ads as much as I ca.
Lately, I was at my parents place and they don’t have that stuff. Even the 1.5 minutes of ads for a free service is so disruptive to me watching something.
What has this to do with PlayStation?
Well, on the shield you are still able to install a custom launcher that is more to your liking, you could disable the internet access and completely stream your own local content. But on the PS, you don’t have that option and are completely at the mercy of what they think you should watch and see on your screen that you bought with a console that you also bought with your own money.
- Comment on What is the recommended way to bond a resin-printed part to a PLA part? 5 months ago:
The problem with brushing on resin is actually not that great because resin for printers will need to be cured. Unless that material is letting the UV light through, only the outer parts will get cured and hold onto the models but when you open it up again the whole middle part would be liquid resin again which stinks and is toxic.
I had this misunderstanding for quite a while myself and though that I can just weld resin party with resin together until I did that with a larger piece and it broke quite easily and seeing that the whole inside wasn’t even touched at all by the UV light.
Hence also why you should shine some UV light into a hollowed model to fully cure it.
CA/superglue should do fine if applied correctly.

OP wants to connect a Resin print to a PLA print, not two Filament-printed models together!
- Comment on Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? 8 months ago:
My phone still doesn’t know what fuck means or suggests it to me when I want to write it even though I use it fairly often. I also daily greet my coworkers over threema and it still hasn’t learned what I want to write when my sausage fingers and the too smal keyboard are at a disagreement what should be written.
- Comment on What is on your "things to 3d print" list? 9 months ago:
so, sooo much.
I currently print some stands for some Lego spaceships. I also have over a TB of models from various Patreons that I support accumulated over the months. I also always find new ones I want to print, but rarely find the time to ACTUALLY print something, anything…
- Comment on How should I host Handbrake? 10 months ago:
I had the pleasure recently to create an ffmpeg command to transcode a video into HEVC 10bit with quicksync.
I had tha previously running completely fine on my Nvidia GPU. You would think that it would just be replacing the parameter which device or hardware acceleration to use.
Yeah, turns out that there are like 4 ways to set the quality value of the transcoded output, CRF didn’t work for some reason with quick sync so you need to use global quality or something. I spend days on this trying to figure this out, DAYS.
It is a very powerful tool but every time I have to use it, it is too complicated and I have to spend hours or days to get it working.
- Comment on Issue with print speed slowing to a crawl for no clear reason. 11 months ago:
Yeah. The general speed that you set isn’t necessarily the speed that your printer will print at. That might be the max speed you might get in the best situation or location.
For example, depending on the settings, first layer, outer walls, bridges and other parts of the model cann all be printed at a lower speed to preserve quality. Your print head also needs to accelerate and decelerate for every corner so that it doesn’t overshoot and go where it should. So low acceleration/deceleration play also a part. And the model itself has to be considered in this too because long, mostly straight lines can accelerate to that speed and stay on it for longer.
So what you set as “speed” in the slicer is mostly not what you actually get. Some slicers have a speed display with a colour gradient after you sliced it so that you can see which parts are faster or slower.
- Comment on Forget about PEI beds - we've got PEY now! - Made with Layers (Thomas Sanladerer) 1 year ago:
So this is just for the “looks” or am I missing something here?
Doesn’t seem to do anything for adhesion which I wouldn’t consider to be a replacement as the title implies it is…
Unless, of course, you are looking for a different bottom surface finish.
- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices… again 1 year ago:
As long as people pay for it and they make massive profits through it.
I mean, look at the last situation in which netflix addressed account sharing. Their user number actually increased because of it from what I have read.
Those people that can’t afford it will most likely switch to a less expensive tier and then probably see ads. I have seen that recently with my father who wasn’t even bothered or annoyed by the constant ads while watching a single episode.
- Comment on What do you use to keep the cables out of the way? 1 year ago:
Yes, something like this I was thinking about. A boom arm or pole or something like that would then reach over the printer and the retractable badge holders could hold the cables and feed tube up without interfering with them that much.
- Comment on What do you use to keep the cables out of the way? 1 year ago:
I specifically moved the filament feed tube to the front so that the whole thing is more accessible and easier to handle, by default the whole stuff is at the end but I found it too annoying to always have to grab/reach through my printer under the bed to do anything with the filament.
I did try using a spare PTFE tube for the cables but this didn’t really help that much. But I must say, I have fewer issues with the cables, the filament feed tube is more of an issue I want to address.
- Comment on What do you use to keep the cables out of the way? 1 year ago:
Yeah, I have seen this and played with that Idea for a while but never really could find something that would fit or work with how my setup is constructed. Since I have an Exoslide, custom shroud and so on, those Cable Chains are mostly designed for stock parts.
And I am by far not skilled enough to make the adjustments or remix those things myself.

Thanks, I added an image link to the original post.
