- Comment on Ender 3 V2 Causing Circuit Breaker to Trip (Even when PSU is flipped off!) 3 days ago:
Is the PSU in V2 any less shady than in old Enders? The almost naked industrial unit was easy to install with wrong screws that reach into the circuit board or have things fall into the contacts or through the slots inside.
I’d look at the cable and the switch and any connectors and connections there first.

Very nice. There’s a lot more of interesting stuff on the site.
- Comment on Whats a good Resource on Learning 6502 Assembly, for someone who has little to no experience Programming? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a bit off the mark, but I’ll mention the Nybbles and Bytes youtube videos because I think they’re pretty neat.
- Comment on What are the most useful things you've printed? 3 weeks ago:
Most useful as in something I wouldn’t have otherwise is probably some gridfinite thing. SD and usb stick holders maybe.
Most used is probably a plain headphone hook for office. Daily use and storage for years.
Most saved time and money? Jigs and dummy parts at work which have helped avoid more expensive processes and mistakes in more expensive processes.
- Comment on New Plague Linux malware stealthily maintains SSH access 1 month ago:
One more path for malware is that the system has a root hole and this is where the exploit hides the malware.
Or a hostile actor gets their hands on an unencrypted hard drive and installs this when the owner isn’t looking.
- Comment on Chrome is Finally Enabling Automatic Wayland Detection 1 month ago:
Detecting Wayland does mean it can (and probably will) leak that you run Wayland.
- Comment on Substack prompted a Nazi blog again 1 month ago:
Looking at how many countries have started to have and even elect literal nazi parties, the education has been failing very widely and for a very long time (since WW2).
- Comment on YouTube most popular first TV destination for children, Ofcom finds 1 month ago:
And most are paid subscription only and fragmented.
How about BBC or other local providers?

- Comment on Google AI Overview is just affiliate marketing spam now 1 month ago:
All things were doable before. There point is that they were manual extra steps.
- Comment on Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima 1 month ago:
How about two gym memberships and a library card?
- Comment on Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s 1 month ago:
Next step: the great wall of great britain. Protecting citizens from harmful foreign influences.
- Comment on Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s 1 month ago:
Beginning of genx is close or a few years after beginning of internet.
It wasn’t something Joe Random could use even decade or two after, but just mentioning for correct perspective.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 1 month ago:
We also desperately need a non-US archive.
- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 1 month ago:
I would add “downvote posts with no useful content” to that. (Report if you know the community has had the sense to forbid that kind of posts.) That does seem to cause some people to flip out, though.
- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 1 month ago:
I don’t think they are. Protectionist and interested in their exports, seem more likely.

Spam in, spam out, profit in the middle.
- Comment on Google AI Overview is just affiliate marketing spam now 1 month ago:
It might be able to give you tables or otherwise collated sets of information about multiple products etc.
I don’t know if Google does, but LLMs can. Also do unit conversions. You probably still want to check the critical ones. It’s a bit like using an encyclopedia or a catalog except more convenient and even less reliable.
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 1 month ago:
I disagree on even that. It should be enough to have some trusted “notary” tick a box that they have verified your driver’s license as valid. It should not be stored out sent anywhere at any time. Just showed to a human. Regularly, if needed.

And/or windows admins.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 1 month ago:
I have bought a few otherwise hard to find books on Amazon. Actual paper books. At least used to be possible.

And the nightmare still goes on.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 month ago:
If all the settings and options match, my first suspicion would be that there’s a library available on one system and not the other. Have you taken very verbose logs to see if there’s differences that stand out?
- Comment on Common sugar substitute shown to impair brain cells, boost stroke risk 1 month ago:
Ah, I might be misremembering that. Thanks.
I have some pretty local sources for (afaik) pretty good honey that I like.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
That’s not the threat. Payment processor says they have to form their entire store according to their whims or lose all credit card using customers.
- Comment on Common sugar substitute shown to impair brain cells, boost stroke risk 1 month ago:
Yeah, I’m probably not going to stay away from honey.
- Comment on 3D Printing Patterns Might Make Ghost Guns More Traceable Than We Thought 1 month ago:
I half expect Bambu labs to already do and be furiously trying to come up with a scheme to monetize it.
- Comment on What do you call the first person with a new genetic mutation 2 months ago:
Dead (usually before birth), if it’s a fatal factor. Nothing, if it’s not, because in practically all non lethal cases there’s no visible effect.
