The ally flag gets fun colors! It’s the black and white background with a rainbow ∧ shape. I wear this as a pin sometimes. Also my favorite restaurant has one hanging proudly inside.

Awesome. I loved those games.
I also loved playing Doom on the thing when I installed Linux on it briefly. 🤣

- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 week ago:
Ad-free subscription services that actually benefit the creators are exceedingly rare.
Believe it or not, YouTube Premium is one of them. A Premium view is worth more than an ad-supported view to a creator.
(Obviously Patreon is better, as they can’t make a living off of only Premium views because it’s a smaller group; the population of ad-supported users is much much larger. But YouTube Premium does support the creators more than ad-supported YouTube does.)

That’s a really good point about the nozzles.

That’s a shame. Maybe when I need to replace these I’ll hunt down old stock of the same products.
- Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it will be faster than a tool changer (I doubt it, but I suspect the difference will be pretty negligible), but it will be much faster than swapping material the way it has been. Purging the plastic from the nozzle takes a while, especially if swapping between, say, PETG/PCTG and PLA for support purposes. Or PVA for that matter. Basically anything where mixing the filaments can compromise the structural integrity of the result you need additional purging.
The time it takes to retract filament into the AMS and then send out the new is pretty small. The longest part of the process is the purging.
Obviously a tool changer is a solid solution to this problem, but I gotta be honest I’m curious to see how this one plays out. And it never hurts to have more solutions to a problem within the industry.

Man, I’ve been using the same Logitech mice (two of the same model) and headset for like eight or nine years now. Still works great.

Not wrong, lol. Cheaper than a bunch of toolheads though, I assume.

Also Bambu has completely lost all trust from everyone
No they haven’t. They’ve lost trust from a lot of the hobbyist community, sure, but they’ve tapped a whole new market. And at the risk of having to hand in my hobbyist badge, the slippery slope argument that closed firmware means they’ll someday require DRM for filament is nonsensical. They know what happens to companies who pull that. And they don’t need it anyway. Plenty of people will exclusively buy their filament anyway since it’s the same company that made their printer. From a business perspective they stand to lose far more than they gain locking down filaments.
Don’t get me wrong, the firmware situation is infuriating. And for those who prefer the 3D printer side of the hobby over the 3D printing side, it’s a non-starter. But the field has expanded and most users aren’t power users now.

- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 2 weeks ago:
although it also has a much higher display resolution.
I was about to say 1920x1080 isn’t that much higher resolution than 1280x800, but it’s twice as many pixels! 🤯
And 4K is 4x 1080p! No wonder 4K gaming makes graphics cards chug.
- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 2 weeks ago:
using Steam remote play to the deck
I’m going to pass on some advice that a friend of mine gave me: get Apollo (a fork of Sunshine) on your computer and Moonlight on your Steam Deck. You can install Moonlight in Desktop Mode and add it to your Steam Library so you can access it in Steam mode.
It’s far better at streaming than Steam’s own streaming system. Apollo treats it like a monitor on your desktop. I have it set up so that the Steam Deck is the ONLY monitor when I’m streaming to it. You can also specify resolution in Moonlight, so I tell it to give me 2560x1440 or 2560x1600. Because of the way chroma subsampling works, this looks much better when downscaled on the Deck’s screen than simply streaming the Deck’s resolution. Cyberpunk 2077 looks GORGEOUS on the Deck like this.
(Note this is best if your PC is on a wired connection to a router with WiFi 6/6E/7 support.)

I forced myself to complete the Diablo 4 campaign because of them.
That would be a lot easier now. The game improved enormously around season 4 I think. Whatever the Loot Reborn season was. And nearly every season has included some QoL improvements.
I honestly love Diablo 4. It’s a great podcast/audiobook companion.

Splintering nothing. I’m on Piefed right now. The Fediverse means it plays nice with Lemmy just fine. Same with Mbin.
- Comment on First time posters be like 2 weeks ago:
cm0002’s reply is a good summary. It’s an alternate platform, but because of the nature of the Fediverse it plays nicely with Lemmy. So I’m posting this on Piefed but you can read it with Lemmy, and vice versa.

- Comment on Microsoft asks customers for feedback on reported SSD failures 2 weeks ago:
This issue was great. It gave me an excuse to upgrade to a better SSD, which also gave me an excuse to try Linux for the first time in like a decade (other than the Steam Deck). Threw Nobara on the drive that Windows would murder. Haven’t had time to play around with it much, but I’m excited to try it.
- Comment on Microsoft asks customers for feedback on reported SSD failures 2 weeks ago:
Even if the headline weren’t misleading, I wouldn’t be shocked if they have a hard time getting telemetry reports from failed drives from users if the OS is installed on said drive.
Then again, a modern OS should be able to phone home with a crash report as it crashes depending on what has failed, so I guess I’ve talked myself out of that hypothetical lack of shock.
So…disregard this. 😅
- Comment on YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality 2 weeks ago:
It’s not that computationally intensive to upscale frames. TVs have been doing it algorithmically for ages and looking good doing it. Hell, nVidia graphics cards can do it for every single frame of high end games with DLSS. Calling it “AI” because the type of algorithm it’s using is just cashing in on the buzzword.
(Unless I’m misunderstanding what’s going on.)
