The other option is regular Pla. It’s flexible when thin. And I think he needs some stiffness to protect the cable from bending too much.

Have you tried tpu? Googling says it works on the A8.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 1 day ago:
Why would you use Docker desktop?
Because I’m just following the official guides on the NPM website.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 1 day ago:
I’m just a simple man following the official install instructions. NPM: “Install Docker Compose” Docker: “Install Docker Desktop to install Docker Compose.”
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 1 day ago:
Yes, an AI bonzai buddy is built into Docker Desktop. It’s insane.

I went to install nginx proxy manager and found out it’s only a docker container.
- Comment on Flashforge AD5X, how long do nozzles last? Premature wear 2 days ago:
Great to hear your prints are working again. Maybe extrusion problem and you need to hand tweak your flow rate for .16?
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 2 days ago:
Then you’ll install Docker because many apps are now only distributed as Docker containers.
At which time you’ll be greeted by “Ask Gordon” the AI agent built into Docker!

For reference I have an Anycubic s1 with 1,000+ hours on the brass nozzle and it was still fine when I changed it.

Don’t upload a 3mf that could have meta data. Use an STL that doesn’t support any metadata.
- Comment on tool to make an stl from 2D image? 3 days ago:
When I load a non manifold mesh into my slicer I get “error, click repair” a windows dll starts that repairs the mesh. It’s weird but I’ve never taken the time to investigate because I’m busy on the next print.

So you can’t criticize a movie if you haven’t made one.

How long can you wait? Snapmaker U1 comes out in November. Early reviews look good and it’s completely open. Klipper firmware with Orca slicer.
- Comment on Bosch dishwasher needs app for certain features 6 days ago:
I bought a new Bosch a year ago to replace my broken Bosch. The mandatory wifi to a cloud service to access the same features that were a physical button on my old Bosch made me incredibly angry. This was the highest end Bosch dishwasher they sell. There is absolutely no excuse.
Consumer Reports is dead to me. They didn’t mention it at all.
- Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident 1 week ago:
Not really. The first local login to configure it requires a Plex account. And that account times out maybe monthly? It seems every few months when I remote to the Plex server it wants the plex account to login.
- Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident 1 week ago:
The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.

"As of January 20, 2025, nearly 3 years later, there has been no public acknowledgement of the plagiarism, nor retraction of the content in the WAN Show upload with 2,000,000 views. The WAN Show upload and LMG Clips videos do not reference or cite GamersNexus either verbally or on screen at any point for the EVGA story. "
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it
The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn’t. Steve thanked him expecting that Linus would do what he promised but then Linus did nothing.
3 years later after GN publicized the unethical behavior, Linus then, and only then fixed it.
the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did,
But he didn’t. He promised to but never did until 3 years later. That’s why Steve called him out.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
The quote was from the linked article.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Second line of credit or mortgage, its still debt.
Your suggestion translates to “Don’t worry about home repairs, just take on more debt to pay them.”
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
after that you can tap into home equity and repair say a roof.
There’s no, “tapping into home equity.” There’s only extending the mortgage with more debt.
20 years ago my sister did all sorts of home improvements that she said were free because she was “tapping into equity”. Now she’s nearing retirement and complains she still has giant mortgage payments.

The email says they could keep it for further testing, not sell it.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
“Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution”
They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
They took quick action 3 years after GN publicized LTT’s past bad behavior.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
I’m guilty of ignoring my water heaters. Had my backup start to leak and it cost $1500 to replace. So I immediately bought a new anode rod for my primary tank. Drained/flushed it and replaced the old rod which was completely gone. It was an easy task but you will need a cheap impact wrench, 1 1/16" socket and chain link anode rod to make it easy.
It’s something you need to do every couple of years. But I never do it.

“…
Regarding LTT, we are simply going to state the relevant facts:
On 10th August, we were told by LTT via email that the block had been sold at auction. There was no apology.
We replied on 10th August within 30 minutes, telling LTT that this wasn’t okay, and that this was a £XXXX prototype, and we asked if they planned to reimburse us at all.
We received no reply and no offer of payment until 2 hours after the Gamers Nexus video went live on 14th August, at which point Linus himself emailed us directly.
The exact monetary value of the prototype was offered as reimbursement. We have not received, nor have we asked for any other form of compensation.”
Time-stamped emails were provided as proof.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
“quick action”
3 years later and only after Linus made vague legal threats to GN requiring GN to publicize LTT’s bad behavior.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
The email chain was published by Billet Labs after LTT said there were no expectations of returning the prototype. It proved that Linus lied about it.
