- Comment on More police busts in Italy 3 days ago:
Do Italian police have ridiculously over inflated budget and need to make it look like they’re doing something? Because this really doesn’t seem like a situation that needed police intervention.
- Comment on Do NOT buy Creality 2 weeks ago:
That’s a series shame to hear about. Creality has been a staple of the community since the reprap days. I don’t think I can count the number of people I know who had an ender as their first 3d printer.
It kind of sounds like they’re struggling with the transition from hobbiest products to appliances and are losing some of their soul along the way.
Sorry you’re going through that, but thank you for sharing.

My eating habits especially close to bed absolutely dictate my quality of sleep and how I feel in the morning. Just not coffee, wooo ADHD

Oh look, so they’re saying they’re already training ai on all the data they have on us? Yeah I feel my privacy being so respected.
- Comment on Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage 2 weeks ago:
They’re going to lengths to make it sound like oh there was some cached server they found after intensive searching that hadn’t yet been updated or some such nonsense, but reality is is that Google is part of the dystopian constant surveillance present we now live in and likely they save ever little bit of video and information they can get their grubby blood stained hands on and use it for ai processing, government contracts, or you know, to jerk off to in their free time.
Fuck I really need to get off my ass and degoogled.

I was curious so poked around a little online and found this very old albeit quite informative post: www.naimark.net/projects/zap/howto.html

Honestly this situation is wild. The whole article is a hundred percent worth a read. It’s just… So bizarre. Good luck to you wiki contributers navigating this situation.

I thought newer Samsung tvs ditched tizen?
- Comment on Thoughts on Mattercad / alternative? 4 weeks ago:
Checked out the website, it seems amateurish and the comments on the free version indicate some very lacking support and functionally. Furthermore a search into matterhackers revealed a lot of poor reviews about the companies filaments. I have major doubts.
- Comment on Thoughts on Mattercad / alternative? 4 weeks ago:
This is actually my first hearing of mattercad, I will have to check it out. I went from tinkercad to freecad and would agree that was quite a jump, but after watching a few low level tutorials I really started getting the hang out it pretty quickly.

Good to know. Thank you 🙏

Is that pretty standard a price for a standalone firewall?
- Comment on How do you Sand Coloured PETG without loosing the Colour? Are there any Methods to Preserve or Regain the Colour? 1 month ago:
+1 for heat gun. Doesn’t need a lot of heat and you should be able to get rid of the white without deforming the print

Ye, nightshade was defeated by a blur and sharpen iirc lol. Still, was a good first step.
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 1 month ago:
Also csam in training data definitely is a thing
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 1 month ago:
It’s not an artistic representation, it’s worse. It’s algorithmic and to that extent it actually has a pretty good idea of what a person looks like naked based on their picture. That’s why it’s so disturbing.
- Comment on Recommendations 1 month ago:
Yeah fair enough, my a1 mini is still a nice little workhorse, but I can fine tune like nothing on it and that bugs me
- Comment on Recommendations 1 month ago:
+1 for the Q1 pro
- Comment on Recommendations 1 month ago:
For a compsci major is recommend something with klipper that’s easy to tinker with. Bambu is great for non tech people that need an appliance that just works (down vote me if you want, I’m not condoning their lockdown practices).
Qidi is good but their klipper is modified and not open source. Q1 pro is what I have and it’s great but modifying the firmware is, last I checked, is a whole project not supported by the company.
Elegoo and creality are good choices but I’m not very familiar with the printers personally.
Prusa is great but they are pricey and have been falling behind in innovation.

It took me days to get around to watching the video because of the thumbnail lol.
- Comment on What's a good printer for ASA filament? 1 month ago:
I’ll 2nd the q1 and add that although it was just some numbers for the front of a dose, it printed asa without issue.
- Comment on How cold is too cold for storing in a garage? 2 months ago:
Only thing I’ve ever heard of being an issue is that if it’s too cold the thermistor (I think) will throw and error and the heating bed won’t work, but nothing is broken, just might not function until in a warmer environment or using a heat gun to get the sensor above 0c or something. I don’t think you have anything to worry about for storage
- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 2 months ago:
It’s definitely not necessary, but it becomes very empowering when you can go from idea in your head to 3d mock-up to printed object in a matter of minutes or hours.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page 2 months ago:
As far as chromium based browsers go, edge is actually one of the best. I have a portable degoogled chromium I keep locked in a vault myself, but that’s only because I ripped edge out of windows. If I wasn’t the type of person that got irrationally furious about edge running in the background using up system resources doing whatever the fuck windows was having to do, I would just use edge when I needed a chromium browser.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 months ago:
Yes? Machine learning has been huge for protein folding and not because anyone is stupid, it’s because it’s a task uniquely suited for machine learning, of which there are many. But none of that is what this AI bubble is really about, and even though I find the underlining math and technology fascinating, I share the disdain for how the bulk of it is currently being used.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 months ago:
Wait so I should just be manually folding all these proteins?
- Comment on Bread mold 2 months ago:
Fun story about that. I was harvesting one of my first cannabis grows and one plant was too dense and definitely got moldy. I spent hours and hours going through the fresh flower with a scope and at one point thought I was going to have to throw everything out: there was mold everywhere!! Which was of course true, there is mold everywhere. I went a little crazy that day, but eventually chose an acceptable amount of fungus and moved on with my life. There was no issues drying and curing except in the one jar I put the black stuff just to see what would happen. It got gross.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 2 months ago:
I did windows 10 ltsc for a very long time but I dropped eventually because I was tired of having issues with my video card and random unexplained crashes with vague event viewer info they no one had find reliable fixes to. Mass grave seems super nifty though, saving that link, maybe I give 11 iot a try but I’m feeling pretty burnt
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 2 months ago:
I love/hate their website. It reminds me of early 00 warez sites, but, as you say and testers report, it does a good job debloating and speeding things up. I’m so fed up with windows at this point I’m not sure a slimmed down and or privacy focused windows install will cut it. I’m this close to taking the dive and going to daily driving Linux.
