I’d never realized how convenient/natural a joystick is for adjusting your side mirrors. I’m not even sure my wife has the reach to both press a touchscreen in the center console and have her head in driving position to adjust the mirrors with real time feedback. Even I’d hate to have to tweak a mirror while driving with a touchscreen.

The implication is that it’s your own blood, but I like the planning/forethought. I think you’ll be going places. Probably at a run.

Feel the hate. Let it flow through you.

Oh, I didn’t mean to come off as dissing Prusa in general. I ponied up for an XL and it’s night-and-day better than any previous printer I’ve owned.

If this was during an auto level, it’s my humble opinion that this is a manufacturer’s defect in the machine that caused the damage. There should be proper coding to ensure that any increase in sensor pressure by (delta p) halt that machine and that there should be a pressure offset in the sensor such that a loss of signal or anomalous zero reading or lack of reading is done prior to levelling to ensure that a sensor failure has not occurred. My XL freaks out if a fan isn’t spinning at the right speed, so they clearly know that a nominal operational check before the print starts is proper engineering design.

Of course you won’t get anywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of 3D print failures really are user error so I suspect that’s their default response and it takes them a good deal of proof to push them of that mark.

Not to defend them or minimize the corporate stupidity, but it sounded like there were less than 100k people affected out of tens of millions (100m?) accounts. I get that it was a big deal for those affected, but a 0.1% outage doesn’t seem “major”.

The description of an unexpected/(impossible) orientation for an on road obstacle works as an excuse, right up to the point where you realize that the software should, explicitly, not run into anything at all. That’s got to be, like, the first law of (robotic) vehicle piloting.

It was just lucky that it happened twice as, otherwise, Alphabet likely would have shrugged it off as some unimportant, random event.

I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.

XL feels like using cheat codes.

On the flip side, global banking processes something like 5+ orders of magnitude more transactions than ETH, so even at the low end it’s 1000x more efficient than the most well known POS coin.

If you print with incompatible filaments (materials which don’t bond/adhere) you can get cheap, nearly perfect breakaway supports. I’ve done some rocket parts on my PrusaXL and it’s certifiably magic.

What’s worse is when you think there’s a discussion starting because it’s “hot” and there’s a comment thread started…only to find that the only comment in the body is the summary bot.

It’s a link bot. the Reddit refugees felt it necessary to write bots to link spam lemmy so it felt busy here.

Prime used to mean something. Guaranteed 2 day shipping with no minimum for no extra charge. $5 for next day shipping. Then next day disappeared. Then the 2 day guarantee disappeared. Then delivery times were in the 3-5 day range for most things. Then, in my university town, around the time of students returning to school for terms it would be 1-2 weeks. I’m not paying an ever increasing annual fee for that.

Which is great if I were storing it and only opening the box for a new roll. I expect to open the enclosure multiple times a day when I’m working with it and the moisture would quickly require recharging. Also, since the box will be accessible for two printers sharing the volume (I might be able to isolate them, but it makes the working space more difficult) and there will be two doors it will be impossible to create it at the budget level I’m considering. Management of moisture, in this case, is a more achievable engineering solution than perfect moisture isolation.

You don’t want to know how much the monitor cost, then.

I wish I could figure out the code to get my T6 to control the Confortotal mini split I got off eBay. I have to think they’re using some genetic code base, but I couldn’t find a matching one.

I’ve had it for 15 years and just replaced the seat cushion last month.

I have 5 cmdrs in elite, I think. Only one is on Odyssey. One Horizons-end-game-all-but-carrier with 6B credits and a fleet, one stuck 15,000LY in the black, two with T-9s I made for commodity storage, and one new play through that’s mid-game (the odyssey one). I’ve mostly given up since I don’t have the free time / desire to grind for alien fights and the new on-foot and eco-bio stuff just doesn’t wow me.
