- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 2 days ago:
It was performative after Musk’s sieg heil crashed Tesla sales.
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 3 days ago:
A term means something and applies somewhere.
Words are redefined all the time. Kilo should mean 1000. It was the international standard definition for 150 years. But now with computers it means 1024.
Confabulation would have been a better choice. But people have chosen hallucinate.
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 3 days ago:
Hallucinate is the word that has been assigned to what you described. When you don’t assign additional emotional baggage to the word, hallucinate is a reasonable word to pick to decribe when an llm follows a chain of words that have internal correlation but no basis in external reality.
- Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate 5 days ago:
Apple doesn’t care what you do with your driver as long as you keep paying them.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 6 days ago:
I never liked cd caddies. The push button, wait for motor to eject, then push button, wait for motor to load was dissociative.
The floppy drive was a direct mechanical link between the button and eject.
- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 6 days ago:
Windows Media center was an amazing money saver! I cancelled all my cable boxes, bought a server to run 8.1, bought some used xbox360’s for every TV in the house, and everything was paid for in 9 months compared to the cable company rental fees. So I not only got 3 xbox360s and a server for “free” but was saving money for the next 3 years until I cancelled cable completely.
Plus I had unlimited TV show storage and could transcode anything I wanted to keep permanently to mp4.
- Comment on What is causing these layer lines? I'm assuming it has something to do with the curved part, as it starts around the same height as them. Is there a way I can avoid these? 1 week ago:
Increase / decrease infill/wall overlap % seems like the best advice I found while googling.
Imo printing on edge would fix it and make the print stronger but that could require changes to the model / printing with supports.
- Comment on What's a good printer for ASA filament? 1 week ago:
I have printed ASA on my Anycubic S1. It’s enclosed but doesn’t have an active chamber heater. It uses the bed heater to slowly heat the chamber. It’s $350.
It technically worked the very first time but it still took like 3 prints tuning the temperature to get good layer adhesion. (I was printing extremely thin and narrow parts and the ASA would break along layer lines.)
Going only by YouTube reviewers, the Qidi Plus 4 seems to be the best low end for “engineering” filaments. $700 and out of the box it has a hardened nozzle, high temp hardened extruder, and active chamber heating- plus a 305mm build volume. Even their $400 Q2 has a hardened nozzle and active chamber heating.
- Comment on What's a good printer for ASA filament? 1 week ago:
While the U1 is incredible, it cannot do ASA out of the box.
- Comment on What's a good printer for ASA filament? 1 week ago:
If I were to buy another printer, the Snapmaker U1 is at the very top by a huge margin.
But I wouldn’t recommend it for ASA. Out of the box it is an open air printer without active chamber heating.
- Comment on Question: To replace or attempt fix 1 week ago:
He’s using the wrong words. No printer has an accelerometer.
Automatic bed leveling requires a printer support it. Klipper can’t do it if the hardware isn’t there. Same with flow rate calibration. Manual in Klipper requires test prints and then editing the config files. Flow rate on modern printers is calibrated automatically using the camera.
- Comment on Question: To replace or attempt fix 2 weeks ago:
Klipper can’t do a bed mesh if the printer doesn’t have a probe.
Manual bed leveling means using a sheet of paper and adjusting bed screws to get it at the right height.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 weeks ago:
People totally got killed by doing their own maintenance
People have totally gotten killed from maintenance done by a “professional” (new kid on the job at the shop.)
I watch YouTuber CarCareNut and he’s shown many stupid mistakes made by dealerships.
I assure you I take greater care doing repairs than a tech who will get yelled at if they don’t finish the job fast.
- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but my mp3’s from Kazaa are all 128.
- Comment on Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich 2 weeks ago:
An interesting omission in the article is that it doesn’t say how Epstein got his start as a teacher at Dalton despite no degree. Epstein got that job because William Barr’s dad, who wrote pedophile stories as a hobby, gave him that job.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 2 weeks ago:
Gladiators were not soldiers. Some were the equivalent of American Wrestling stars.
- Comment on ‘All brakes are off’: Russia’s attempt to rein in illicit market for leaked data backfires 2 weeks ago:
Funny how what is a black market underground economy in Russia because of the danger is “market research data” legally sold in the US.
- Comment on What social class would that be 2 weeks ago:
Shower thoughts.
- Comment on Looking for a specific manufacturer of repairable notebooks 2 weeks ago:
I was intrigued by their open hardware claim but then saw the pi/Mali/rk3588 options all of which are more closed source (require binary blobs) than the x86 they eschew for being closed.
- Comment on What social class would that be 2 weeks ago:
Why the downvotes? He moved the question to a more appropriate forum.
- Comment on Days after killing the brand, Crucial shows up at Delhi Comic-Con — As Micron pivots to AI, Crucial's presence likely booked out months in advance to event 2 weeks ago:
As soon as corporate contracts dry up they’ll go back to consumers but at a higher price point just like GPUs.
Or are you not going to buy ram ever again?

Who is Bubba?
- Comment on Printed this extra long cat snake on my ender3v3 (this thing is longer than my 10yo!). The print came great for the most part. What do you think happened at this one spot? Bed adhesion issue? 3 weeks ago:
You definitely want to rub it off and not gave it evaporate. Otherwise the oil will settle back onto the plate.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 3 weeks ago:
The incidents had nothing to do with divided highways.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 3 weeks ago:
It isn’t a unique Texas Law. It’s law everywhere in the US and Canada.
“mostly all in North America, require all surrounding vehicles to stop when a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing.”
en.wikipedia.org/…/School_bus_traffic_stop_laws
“And the human drivers who move to Texas often get tripped up by this law, because many aren’t aware of the requirement.”
Only if you are from a different country.
Which is beside the point that if anyone else drove through 20 bus stops, they couldn’t use the excuse, “I’m from another country so I don’t know your laws.” to get out of jail.
- Comment on WHO STOLE MY FUCKING BARS? 3 weeks ago:
What happens to the guy that was driving it? Does he just blink out of existence when the car shuts off?
The car is the car. I didn’t mention a person. I didn’t state that it is being driven.
I asked if you believe the car is still running after being disassembled because anything is possible.
- Comment on WHO STOLE MY FUCKING BARS? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t agree that the cessation of brain activity necessarily means the end of the subjective experience.
What happens to a car when you turn off the engine and then disassemble the parts? Is the car still running? You believe in infinite possibilities so the chance of it not running is tiny?
- Comment on Got my first printer, what else do I need? Any tips on setup? 3 weeks ago:
Oh and to keep the filament dry get the bulk orange desiccant. The white activated alumina is technically better but the orange is much easier to know when it’s ready to be dried in the oven. (I tried microwave and damaged the orange color change from over heating. Oven at low temp for drying desiccant is fool proof.)

I’m a big fan of Gunplamark’s remixed filament box.

Look at the remix files. There’s a better roller design by CMYK

You’re going to need a scraper. Print your own or buy the plastic replaceable razor scraper (the blade itself is plastic so it can’t hurt your build plate)
You will also need a deburring tool.
