- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 2 days ago:
I wonder if people don’t realize that running ai models requires high amounts of vram compared to system ram. They also might not realize that there is a ram chip shortage which doesn’t necessarily mean ram sticks themselves. FOMO will likely drive up the prices more than anything.

The used market is always like that with the old top of the line stuff. If you look at old high end cpus the highest spec is always super high in price even though it’s not as good as something newer you could get for a lower price. People just see higher number = better so they go for more cores and higher clock speeds. I’ll bet you couldn’t notice the difference between two sticks of 16gb vs 4 sticks of lower end 8gb ddr4. I’m seeing that the rgb sticks are quite a bit higher in price. I’ve seen that if I build a pc with old components and throw it in a glass case with cheap rgb lights that I get a lot of responses immediately. I have to wait a lot longer to sell a plain looking business pc even when it’s higher specs and newer.

Isn’t new ram ddr5 and ddr4 is old? I bought 3 i5-6500 machines with 16gb of ddr4 for $55/each and slapped in $30 rx480 GPs and been selling them for $150/each.
- Comment on I haven't seen anyone talking about the Anycubic Kobra s1 Max. 350mm3, 350c nozzle, active chamber heating. 5 days ago:
Kobra neo, a cheap printer to begin with. The y axis rail is extruded aluminum. Where they drilled the holes in the middle to attach it to the frame it pushed the aluminum out by a few thousands. Adjusting the carriage is either really tight in the middle of the rail or loose on the ends. The bed was also bent when I got it (common issue). I bent it back and added bed adjusters because otherwise the auto need leveling just couldn’t compensate. It broke a y belt (common issue). It still has issues printing. I cannot get it to print petg at all even though the same roll of filament will work fine on another printer. All in all I wish I never bought the thing due to their poor quality control. It still prints PLA good enough so I keep it around because I wouldn’t get anything if I try to sell it.

After having had an Anycubic printer, I would be extremely hesitant to buy one based on the quality of the one I have.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
At the time it would have been worth it to pick up a lot of games over an expensive pc. I’m not sure I would go out of my way to buy one today since most of the good games are on pc and can play on a pc without a gpu. If you find one for $20 at a garage sale then I would probably get it if you’re into collecting games.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
I’m so glad that he showed some games that aren’t shooters/sports or pc games. I found there’s a combo Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts / Viva Pinata that I decided to pick up. I’ve had a 360 collecting dust that I picked up cheap years ago and never really played it. I’ll probably pick up a few more games for it if I find them for cheap.

- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t equate installing proxmox on an old pc to open heart surgery. It’s pretty basic stuff and you can follow guides on how to install services in a container or vm. People are interested in things like pihole, home assistant, arr stacks, nas, and better control over their network. It’s definitely not rocket surgery.
- Comment on Looking to buy a cheap but best first 3d printer. Ender3 V3, CR-10 SE, or something else? 4 weeks ago:
I picked up a used ender 3 V3 se off of marketplace for $60 and had to repair it. Since then it’s been printing 10x better than my anycubic kobra neo. I think it comes down to slicer profiles in orca slicer. The ender 3 was a wildly popular printer compared to the kobra. Cheap printers cut corners but can still print good. If you’re not mechanically inclined then don’t get a cheap printer.

You could use a math trade software. Instead of putting in items just have everyone select each other’s names. Or you could just do a math trade where everyone enters an item and then everything gets randomly traded somewhat like a white elephant but anonymized.

A billion rubles? The company has been allowing outside actors to manipulate the platform since at least 2016. No way they let them do that for free.
- Comment on I added a filament sensor today. 1 month ago:
I bought it from their official eBay store it’s cheaper there than on Amazon
- Comment on I added a filament sensor today. 1 month ago:
That’s weird, there’s different kinds of sensors, some are just a basic switch and others are optical sensors and then there’s some that are a wheel that sense movement. My guess is that you have an optical sensor.
- Comment on I added a filament sensor today. 1 month ago:
It pauses the print and waits for you to replace the filament so you could use up small rolls. It would also stop if the filament breaks, depending on where it breaks of course.

- Comment on Has anyone sold or otherwise handed off their 3d printing business? 1 month ago:
Maybe stop printing so much and just sell stl files on various platforms like printables, thangs, Etsy, etc. They say sell shovels in a gold rush.
- Comment on How often should moderators post to grow a community? 1 month ago:
It depends. I mod !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world and don’t feel like I should try to steer the community in any way. I want it to grow it’s own culture naturally. I’m just there to tend the garden, but I rarely have to take any actions due to the nature of the community.
- Comment on Ender 3 v3 se y axis bearings loose in carrier. 1 month ago:
Ultimately I used a gel style superglue to fill in the gap and it worked. Even if it doesn’t bond to the metal it’s just there as a filler. I can’t find a replacement part or an stl. There’s zero play now and I’m getting good prints. I see a lot of other issues happening long before the bearings go bad.

- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 2 months ago:
Accommodation requests have to be reasonable. If the wheelchair won’t physically fit in the car then you can’t force the driver to drive an accessible vehicle at all times. That would be unreadonable. Though they can’t deny rides to people if the wheelchair could fit in the trunk or whatever.
- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 2 months ago:
It’s a little funny that windows 10 had a massive bug with 100% disk usage with hdd’s. There were “fixes” out there, but they would stop working after awhile. They wanted to make people upgrade their PC back then too.
