I don’t see why you couldn’t just use a different material if you wanted a more permanent solution. A resin printer is likely ideal to get good accuracy.

I remember there was an article years ago, before the ai hype train, that google had made an ai chatbot but had to shut it down due to racism.
- Comment on Picked this up for only $20 3 weeks ago:
This one is on the high voltage side it’s an NPN transistor p/n C3679. It’s showing connectivity through the collector and Emitter in both directions meaning it’s bad. I ordered several in case I pop the first one since there could be more bad components. If I can’t fix this one then I really need to get ahold of some kind of PSU that has -5v so that I can test the computer itself before I go spending $50+ on a good factory PSU.
- Comment on Picked this up for only $20 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately it has a vintage aftermarket power supply in it. I found a bad transistor so far, the caps seem ok.

I’m still using YouTube with smarttube or whatever it’s called now and vanced. They have adblocking and sponsor block so I don’t get shitty ads and I can still pick who I watch. I did go and download a bunch of kids videos since someone watches the same show all the time and now just use jelyfin for that.

- Comment on What are ways to independently make a few bucks on the side? 2 months ago:
It’s highly recommended that you sell small items anyway. I’ve sold 6 CD’s and a cassette tape this month. Some graphics cards, a motherboard, handheld game system that I repaired, etc. I have a small shelf with my inventory on it. I rarely do larger items, but I think I can sell the dresser in a day or two if it doesn’t work well in my space.
If you have a hobby like video games or card collecting you can buy collections and resell what you don’t want she keep what you do or sell games after you’re done with them. It’s fully scalable so you can put in as much or as little time as you want and pause your listings if you decide to go on vacation.

I created !flipping@lemmy.world as I resell as a hobby on eBay and marketplace. It’s a good way to clear out stuff that you don’t want or need and fuel your hobbies. I think it’s pretty funny that the other user says that reselling is gross and goes on to explain that they buy and resell things for a profit.
I’m going out to the middle of bfe this morning to pick up some stuff I won through an online estate auction. I got a dresser for $1. I might keep it I might sell it for a profit. Nobody else wanted it and I’m saving the family the hassle of having to throw it away somehow and someone else might be really happy to have it after I clean it up.

Yes, they’re called retail electric suppliers. Some have offers to lock in a fixed Price for a year and others have variable rates. Then you can choose to have power billed separately from delivery or not.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 2 months ago:
You’re allowed to buy electricity from a separate broker than your “power company” so they split the bill between power usage and service fees plus there’s state and local taxes.

Bitwarden does all that. If you pay the subscription you get a GB of storage and delegate emergency access to other people.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 3 months ago:
Problem being that someone else asked the question 10 years ago and the answer is now irrelevant due to version changes. People with high scores are just early adopters who answered all of the easy questions. Hostile users generally can’t understand the question. The issue with llms answering your question is that they are going to be stuck in the current time period. In the future their answers will also be irrelevant due to version changes.

A used ps4 is probably the best value in gaming right now. For ~$200 you can get the console and a bunch of games.

It costs me less than $10/mo to run mine and some of that is because I have to pay for an email forwarder until my hosting provider lets me start sending emails, part of that is factoring the cost of the domain name. The actual cloud server costs $5/mo right now.
