We just got back from a road trip in a friend’s '25 Tundra and it popped up a TPMS warning for a faulty sensor then minutes later he got a text from the dealership telling him about it and to bring it in for service.

- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 week ago:
I think instead of focusing on how to sell this product, we focus on the product itself because it’s impossible to sell something that Democrats keep pulling off the shelf as “defective.” Like any other item that people buy, committing to something only to have the “company” do a 180 and stop supporting it immediately after your “purchase” is just going to drive people away.

Use an antenna and a HDHomeRun. I can watch our local channels directly through Plex.
- Comment on Streaming overtakes cable and broadcast as the most-watched form of TV 1 week ago:
It’s based on Neilson ratings so it’s entirely dependent on whatever methodology they choose to use at the time. They can’t actually directly count what every TV is tuned to.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 week ago:
I’ve been seeing this for a couple weeks now along with a popup telling me “ad blockers aren’t allowed” at work where I’m forced to use Chrome. I have UBlock Lite installed. Typically a refresh takes care of the popup and a 10 second delay later, the video loads.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 week ago:
This is one change (which isn’t the cause of OP’s problem) that they announced months ago. I’ve been using it for well over a decade and while I have had major issues with it in the past going so far as to setup Emby and buying a lifetime license for that, I would hardly say that they’re “constantly changing allowed abilities.”
Most people’s issue with them is that they focus too much on adding new stuff that nobody asked for while ignoring longtime bugs. I can’t recall a time they’ve ever locked anything behind a paywall that wasn’t a brand new feature prior to this.

Another article tracked down the phone and it’s just a Tmobile REVVL in a different case. They pointed out that you can buy one for $169 while Trump is selling his for $500-$600.

Why not 3D print something for it? I printed this to make a digital photo frame with a Pi 4 and the official 7" Pi touch display. printables.com/…/44218-7-touchscreen-case-for-ras…
Printing it with something strong should help keep it safe in an accident though you’ll need to create a mounting solution.
- Comment on Etsy cracks down on 3D printed products — new rules exclude many 3D printed items from listings 1 week ago:
I’d argue it’s closer to hand made than manufacturing due to most people only having the ability to crank out small batches of prints as a side hustle. I still think it’s short sighted and wonder why other CNC devices aren’t also being banned like CNC routers, laser cutters, laser engravers, pen plotters, etc since these all use similar designs and mechanical systems. Where do you draw the line? I can understand only wanting hand made or vintage items but if technology is advancing past that and the market isn’t really there for those items, then what’s the purpose of the site?

Interesting that just blasting metal with high speed metal particles actually offers structural support back to the metal. I wonder how the strength compared to a new piece of metal of the same thickness.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
I’ve been getting them over the last week or so on both Chrome at work (Ublock lite) and Firefox at home (UBlock Origin). It’s just a popup telling me adblockers aren’t allowed and then a second smaller popup saying something to the effect of “loading issues?” with a link as the video delays playing for a few seconds.
- Comment on Etsy cracks down on 3D printed products — new rules exclude many 3D printed items from listings 1 week ago:
That doesn’t really answer the question and also introduces issues with situations like Bambu’s Creator’s Program (or whatever it’s called) where you can pay the model creator for the rights to sell the item. I don’t see why they need to target 3D prints specifically when Etsy is absolutely chock full of similar duplicates in other mediums. They’re just going to drive people away to a new site, which is fine I suppose, but seems incredibly short sighted.
- Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting 1 week ago:
I went through the exact same situation with my 20 year old music collection and MusicBrainz Picard and unfortunately this is just the state of music piracy even now as things are rarely tagged correctly or come from compilation albums, sample albums, or are just obscure and don’t have the proper tags available on the service. This is why I don’t mind paying for music streaming even though I selfhost most other media formats because you can put in days of work tagging songs and still have a jumbled mess at the end (Picard’s tagging template is also a huge PITA to use with some obscure legacy language).

- Comment on 3D Printer Simulator could take the guesswork out of printing — Virtual 3D printer mirrors physical machine's quirks, like stringing, supports multi-color printing 2 weeks ago:
I honestly think it’s more of a gimmick than anything because no two identical printers will run exactly the same and there’s no way for it to accurately account for filament issues like poor quality plastic or moisture content. I can’t see it being any more accurate than basic guidance or real general things to watch out for like printing overhangs without supports.

My Bambu X1C will do both of these and tell you when it’s time to lube the Z axis screws for example, but I think all printers will shut down if the thermistor (what measures the heat) is reading incorrectly due to it being bad or a problem with the extruder heater since not doing so could be catastrophic rather than just giving you a shitty quality print.

- Comment on Update on the ["crushed letters" issue](https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36243859) 2 weeks ago:
Try reducing the line width especially for the initial layer. I googled about Arachne line generator and it looks like it’s the default wall generator in PrusaSlicer as of v2.5. I can’t tell if you’re using a textured build plate or not but you could also try swapping to a smooth one (or vice versa) and seeing if that makes any difference. You don’t even need to print the whole tab for testing, just the first few layers to see if you’re on the right track.
You could also try using a 0.2mm nozzle just for the white filament and seeing if that helps.
- Comment on Update on the ["crushed letters" issue](https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36243859) 2 weeks ago:
This is a resolution issue. You need to reduce the line width and/or use a smaller nozzle like 0.2mm. You might also have a bit too much squish on your first layer which you could measure by printing a line and measuring it with calipers and comparing the slicer value to the actual value to see if there’s any difference.
I’m not familiar with PrusaSlicer but Bambu Studio has a wall generating setting called “Arachne” which does a better job of generating the small features/walls you need for text even with a 0.4mm nozzle. You might see if there’s a comparable setting for Prusa.
