- Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D 5 hours ago:
That’s just a Prusa pricing problem though. Check out snapmaker U1. It’s a 4 toolhead system coming in under the x1c price point.
- Comment on What are the most useful things you've printed? 2 days ago:
I 3d printed a hair comb that’s been my daily use comb for like 8 months now.
I’ve also 3d printed a gauge pod for my car to hold a trans temp gauge. And since I drive every day that probably tops the list of useful prints.

Try a $48-64k job and get some experience.
Boomer out of touch take.
Damn. That’d be crazy if anyone was actually hiring anybody with no experience.
I know multiple group chats of people who graduated fresh from college, not even 20% of them have jobs a year after grad. And this is spread across comp sci, cybersecurity, and mech eng.
The entry level job is dead. Every company thinks they can replace the menial shit that entry level workers do to learn with AI slop.

- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 2 weeks ago:
Black Friday sales aren’t shit anymore, I waited until last black Friday and no good drives ever went on more than like $5 discount.
With all drives being imported and tarriffs in the US being a total shitshow you should buy ASAP.
- Comment on "The Continental United States" should include Alaska since it's still a part of the same continent, but common usage of the phrase seems to exclude it anyway. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard it better described as the “Contiguous United States”, which covers the fact that you can’t get into Alaska by land without exiting the US.

- Comment on Are you so young that you have never been in a car with one of these? 3 weeks ago:
Old luxury cars are the bomb. My girlfriend has an 84 Cadillac Eldorado project that has a cig lighter and ash tray for every seat - which is awesome on road trips when everyone wants a device charger. Plus they’re super super comfortable. Even on old suspension it feels like riding on a floating couch.
Now if only the engine swap we did could keep any of its engine oil inside the oil pan, it’d be great…

- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 3 weeks ago:
I’m really excited about na-ion, if commercial BMS circuitry was available I would already have some for a few home automation and sensing projects because of their low temp performance alone. But I’ll have to spin up a custom implementation with an arduino or something and I don’t have that kind of skills lol.

- Comment on AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents 3 weeks ago:
Majority, but not 100%. My point is Wyoming is a pretty supplier for electricity to most of the western grid interconnection system and taking multiple GW out of the export market so suddenly is gonna hurt the entire interconnects stability.
- Comment on AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents 3 weeks ago:
As I mentioned on the last post
Its going to ruin most states around it too, Wyoming is a massive net electricity exporter, due to cheap coal and wind resources. A majority of what they produce is transmitted to neighboring states, as far as Oregon and Washington.

- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
I already do that, semi-frequently, but it can be a pain to get right for parts that require really accurate geometric stability (e.g I’ve been printing some engine components out of PA6-CF these days, had to redesign a few to fit on the build plate).
- Comment on Ancient filament, salvageable? 4 weeks ago:
PLA has a shelf life, it does degrade a little especially if in a room that had sunlight. Over 3-4 years old it may not ever be usable.
You may need a very long dry time (multiple days) due to the spool likely being wet completely throughout.
- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
I would unironically kill for a printer with very large but short dimensions like that
99% of the time when I’m limited by my printer’s footprint, it’s in bed area not total volume.
- Comment on Tens of thousands knocked offline after software failure at Musk’s Starlink 4 weeks ago:
Yeahhhh about that.
LEO satellites have a lot stronger signal and their phased array terminals have a surprisingly good SNR. This isn’t your grandpa’s Hughesnet.
I never have more than a second or two of interruptions out there even though heavy rainstorms. Thunderstorms directly overhead sometimes knock it out for a few minutes if they’re dropping hail and lightning but I usually unplug my computer during those anyway. Its all about maximizing its view of the sky so it can always pick the strongest satellite at that time… M
I hate musk too but the engineering quality in starlink is insane.
- Comment on Tens of thousands knocked offline after software failure at Musk’s Starlink 4 weeks ago:
but with Starlink what we get is the entire connection dropping every minute or so, and coming back up a short while later
I can almost guarantee that’s because their terminal is in a shit location with too much of the sky obscured by trees or buildings. I had to set my parents up with it two years ago and if it can’t see as much of the constellation as possible it’s going to have periods of obstructed sattelite connectivity.
- Comment on “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said 4 weeks ago:
We do. The issue is at the college/university level, most courses require specific edition textbooks (they update them every 1-2 years) that the professors assign homework questions out of. You’ll be lucky if the school library has a copy more recent than the last 8 years.
Then on top of that, many professors will also use digital 3rd party homework services that are tied to a textbook access code that you only get with a new copy. So unless you pay up you can’t do homework and fail the class.The whole system is fucking bullshit
- Comment on True Luxury 5 weeks ago:
Advertising a Chevrolet as luxury is kind of ironic. Even their high trim specs were pretty bare bones.
If you really wanted luxury, get a Cadillac.
