That’s a little hopeful to hear. When I was researching my purchase I had considered a Qidi machine but the reviews were inconsistent at the time. This was back early '24 though. I think my Microcenter warranty on the P1S is running out soon.

As much as I’m distressed to see the current situation with Bambu Lab I wouldn’t consider it “falling for relentless marketing”. They are/were genuinely ahead of the curve.

I’ve owned 3 different 3D printers before my P1S in the nearly decade I’ve been 3D printing (I got my first in 2017) and Bambu was the first to actually deliver on being “plug and play” when compared to the competition.

I’m hopeful the situation when my P1S kicks the bucket has changed (it may already have but I’m not in the market so I haven’t checked). But for now I’m just not updating the firmware.

Ditto. A smart home that can operate even if the Internet is offline was one of my core goals setting this up. And save for a few exceptions, I accomplished it. It’s so jarring now to go on vacation and not have all this automation.

Maybe make your own post instead of trying to hijack this one with a inflammatory statement masquerading as a question.

The psychological reaction behind a victim’s response is varied and largely unknown. There are many, many factors at play. Fear is a large part, for sure. Our media tends to portray victims poorly - and people react poorly as well. There are so many factors at play that usually culminate in “it’s better if I just keep quiet”. Just like similar factors come into play when it becomes public and now you’re feeling pressure to also speak up.

Honestly I left proxmox/virtualization OSes a while back for simple RHEL. I have Docker for most everything and the few things I need full virt for the features Cockpit provides are more than enough. If I ever get back into clustering I’ll look at proxmox again.

Meshtastic is basically just texting, but there are nodes people setup for BBS purposes.

That’s fun the part - it’s used by nerds testing the network, sending “ping”. And others replying and setting up BBS systems.

Once you adjust it works well. The whole “find something at random to watch” paradigm is not really how *arr works, but if a coworker mentions a show I can have it ready when I get home.

When it comes to answering questions that I feel are basic, I’ve had to acknowledge that other people have different strengths. Like this xkcd.

Instead I go based on repeat answers to the same or substantially similar question. If I have to explain something 3 times in as little time, I might start to feel annoyed.

Of course though I won’t every let it show, so the only real impact it makes is their ranking on my internal leaderboard of coworkers I’d be happy to see quit lol.

I like to tell my juniors “readable code is maintainable code”. 9 out of 10 times a comment could instead just be choosing better names.

I had a CR-10 vSomething a while back. Never really knew the version because it seemed like amalgamation of all their revisions.

I spent more time calibrating and dialing it in than actually printing. That was the first and last Creality product I owned.

I currently have a P1S but with the anti-consumer show they’ve been putting on if I do have to replace it I think the only printer I’d consider is something Prusa. Even though I’ve never had one, my first printer was a crappy Prusa clone that still was easier than anything else I’ve had aside from the P1S.

Have you rebooted the phone recently?

Yeah this is news to me. Apparently I’m supposed to give French people shit? Sounds like a hassle.

My sister uses a variation of this closer to a traditional lighter with a long neck to light her candles. It’s rechargeable, and she’s been using the same one for over a decade.

Our local one was going to be the 31st, the one time I could make it. But weather delayed it until February 21st, which I won’t be able to make :(.

You’re describing a sense of nostalgia. And no, I don’t consider it immature.

Like usual with us humans and our fickle minds, YMMV.

There are many factors that can impact this, though I would clarify - you aren’t losing memories, they’re there, just harder to access. You aren’t losing your sense of self, it’s evolving - who you are as a person is constantly changing.

For me personally, as someone with aphantasia I’ve never really been in touch with my memories in the first place. I’ve been very much a “in the moment” person - despite that my past experiences do define me, even if I don’t know why.

I used to run a public link shortener. Once the scammers catch wind and add it to their rotation all bets are off. I got inundated with reports and my standing with my web host would have been at risk as well (long story). I now use Shlink on those domains lol.

Undiagnosed but in the same boat - psychiatrist treats me for it.

Although for me it doesn’t matter if I know the person or not, looking into their eyes feel too intimate. But I could by looking at the bridge if their nose, because somehow the brain meat sees that as completely different and people don’t notice (unless they’re like, inches from my face but then we have other problems).
