- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 1 week ago:
It’s interesting to see some of the back-and-forth on this topic between different proponents of free software.
I listened to this talk by Linus Torvalds a while back and it relates to the GPL license used by the Linux kernel and why the kernel hasn’t changed to GPLv3. Apparently Linus doesn’t find this practice by Tivo and other hardware manufacturers to be an issue.

- Comment on Is it fair to ask individuals to make significant changes to their lifestyles to combat climate change?" 2 months ago:
Is it “fair”? I’d say no, but the world isn’t a fair place. Enormous, unscrupulous corporations are to blame for the untenable situation we collectively find ourselves in. And those corporations aren’t going to be rectifying their behavior any time soon unless forced to.
That being said, asking individuals to take steps to reduce climate change isn’t an unreasonable thing in my eyes. Because, until corporations are held accountable, asking individuals is the only thing that can possibly improve the situation. Even though it’s like throwing a cup of water on a forest fire.
The second that Amazon, Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Coke, Pepsi, et al are forced to do their part, I will start throwing my trash out the window again like a proper American. Until then, I’m gonna recycle and encourage my friends and family to do so as well.

We need @SorteKanin@feddit.dk to dive in and tell us how these numbers work!
- Comment on Ender-3 V3 Plus for cosplay props 2 months ago:
Thanks a lot! I’ll look into the upgrades you mentioned and try my luck. Here’s hoping I can get it back up and running without too much work
- Comment on Ender-3 V3 Plus for cosplay props 2 months ago:
Thanks a bunch; I’ll check out the PEI coated build plate.
I’ve contemplated getting the BLTouch probe for auto-leveling, but I don’t think bed leveling is the root of the issue; I’ve leveled the darn thing about a thousand times by now
- Comment on Ender-3 V3 Plus for cosplay props 2 months ago:
Agreed on the Ender 3’s needing some tinkering. My wife got me the Ender 3 V2 a couple of years ago for Christmas and I like it a lot, but I spend more time troubleshooting it than actually printing stuff.
I like to tinker, but the Ender 3 V2 takes advantage of that fact.
Any recommendations on part upgrades? I’ve upgraded the nozzle and the extruder on mine (the stock, plastic extruder cracked badly last year and I replaced it with a full metal one), but it is still very unreliable. Prints are always failing due to adhesion issues even if I use aftermarket adhesives like MagiGoo on the build plate.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 2 months ago:
Depends on the particular device. LDAC has been around for years and supports higher bitrates than mp3s (assuming we’re putting 320kbps mp3s in the “higher quality” category)

Relevant to this idea, I use these apps to let me know when things like the International Space Station, meteor showers, aurorae, etc are visible overhead:
spotthestation.nasa.gov www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/night/
Would be neat if there were one unified app to track them all and send notifications

I don’t think Reddit-for-nerds (Lemmy) is that great of a place to ask this.
Ouch

I’m no expert on automobiles, but that truck would need to be 40+ years old to have no computers onboard. It doesn’t look that old to me, though maybe he just kept it in good shape.

(They’re created with computer too.) I’ve got bad news for him regarding how modern pickup trucks work.
