It does this for me with every song I’ve played from the playlist so far. If I’m on a long drive, listening to the same playlist for an hour, and I like a song, add it to the playlist, or play a different song and go back to the playlist, the whole thing starts over at the beginning again and I have an hour of songs to skip through.

That’s actually super interesting. Any info on US based similarities (ie Ford/ Lincoln)? Are they for similar purposes or just following suit?

Early walkmans were quite unwieldy

Nobody but burglars can limit my access to my music collection.

Or anything that forces you to leave home

🤓 that sim card would still work, the smaller sim cards are the same chip just in a smaller plastic housing, you can cut them to size and some of them (like the one in the photo) come with premade lines as guides

Odd to mention sim cards specifically if that was the intent

To give another perspective, I had a main board go out on my Neptune 3 right after a year of owning it, and they sent me a new one for free 🤷🏽‍♂️ the resin printer I have from them has seen much less use but has been rock solid every time I’ve used it.

When did anyone say the EU created USB-C? They passed legislature that required the mass adoption of it and are the reason Apple had to switch from that stupid lightning connector (and other companies can’t try to make their own), but I don’t see anyone claiming the EU created it.

I know why we have the EU to thank .

If Apple and the Americans had their way, each of those would use a different proprietary connector.

Americans don’t want proprietary connectors. We’re happy to get USB-C, too.

Yes, Americans famously love having dozens of different chargers and cables to manage

Like I said, I’m not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, so I don’t know if there was more to the outrage than just “it’s an Israeli company”. I’m not currently in the market for a prusa printer, so I’m not particularly invested in their politics, just speaking on things that I have seen in this community

I’m far from the most knowledgeable on the subject, but I remember hearing something about one of their prospective printers not being listed as open source, and that they partnered with some Israeli company.

You may be underestimating Granny Gertrude’s powers. She will change a setting in a menu you didn’t even know existed. /s

In my opinion, most modern movies and the like sound perfectly fine, like you said, when in a theater setting. I have a pretty decent home audio setup, and I enjoy going out to the movies for ones that I think will be fun or interesting. I usually do not have much of a problem hearing dialogue (well, I’m hard at hearing, so at least not more issues than I have hearing real world dialogue) and the only times things seem uncomfortably loud is when it seems to be done artistically.

The problem comes from the fact that most people don’t have a “theater setting” at home, and since media is premixed for theatre setups with no way to adjust it, you’re left with the worst of both worlds. I think that, rather than passing the buck onto the inexperienced user who might not know how or want to fiddle with audio track settings, studios need to start taking people’s actual equipment into consideration when putting out home releases. Most media players give you the option for surround and stereo, but that does not help when the original media file has bad audio mixing from the get-go. If the actual audio tracks were mixed for “theatre” and “home”, I think we’d be in a much better place.

How loud specific things are in comparison to other sounds is one of the things that a director dictates to set the mood for their movie. We all agree that it’s gone a bit far with most things nowadays, but having something be piercingly loud or eerily quiet can be used really well, and if everyone from Tommy Teenager to Granny Gertrude can alter these settings with a TV remote and zero knowledge on maybe what they’re even doing (“I thought I was changing the volume and now the people don’t talk anymore!”) it would greatly diminish the director’s ability to control that.

You don’t always need to replace the part with something the manufacturer offers as a replacement. Something like a screen board might be hard/ impossible to find an alternative for, but things like buttons or sensors inside of mice are rarely something made specifically by the mouse manufacturer. They can almost always be replaced by an equivalent generic part. Hell, my 3D printer motherboard took a shit on me a couple years ago, and I bought an aftermarket board and installed 3rd party firmware on it to get it up and running again.

Like you said it’d be great if it were just easy for everyone to do these things, but as devices get more advanced they’re gonna require more advanced knowledge to work on, and not everyone has the time, interest, or resources to learn how to diagnose and repair stuff.

They have a specific aesthetic in mind it seems.

Just found out that people without disabilities have complete control of their body, like you can just fly whenever you want? How

I’m trying a new system of DM’ing in-person DnD games where I’ve got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.

It works well enough, but I have to remember to “give them the cursor back” when I’m done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can’t find it, haha

It is one of my favorite quotes from the entire series. Never before has a man painted a picture of himself as vivid as Jamie did when he delivered this line.

My bad, I forgot there were two episodes on this, I think maybe you only saw the first one or parts of it. There was a huge wooden structure with hundreds of mirrors arranged in a concave shape that almost perfectly aligned all mirrors’ reflections into one spot and absolutely nothing happened. Even with perfect mirrors and modern construction tools and techniques we couldn’t recreate it.
