Nice! I've had very good luck with most (not all!) of the Biqu boards I've used, at least in printing space. I've also had great (100%) luck with warranty claims. If you're really launching into this thing, then: I ca

Eh, I mean: I've done some work with GRBL in the pre-bot days. I can probably do more work with it in these post-bot days. That doesn't sound so bad. I just don't have a Cricut or the willingness to get one (or several; st

> So you don't fear being victimised and don't plan to ever stand up for those who do. Is that so? Can you show me what it was, exactly, that lead you to this determination?

So a Cricut machine has more than some motors and sensors and stuff? How much more?

As a person who has never walked by a penny smasher without smashing a penny: Any old copper penny is fine. Pick the cleanest one you have. Maximum clarity is achieved with pre-1982 pennies. It can be well-worn or have nicely-defined fea

It is, but I mean: Many of us do just exactly that with 3D printers. We get a new 3D-printing machine and install our own build of Marlin on it, or move it all over to Klipper. Sometimes that involves replacing the entirety of the brain-b

It's very comforting to think that somewhere deep within the NSA is a person whose job it is to watch my face while I poop.

Airtags don't do any triangulation. They just send out a BLE beacon periodically to any iPhone within earshot, and also spend some time listening for new instructions that almost never happen. They have no idea where they are or what

Their LLM tells me that it can't perform searches and can't read reviews, and then does both things anyway. It consistently takes me at least 4 interactions before it begins to produce useful results. It may be better than the us

Right, and some of us have a fine tradition of using extension cords as a way of powering some things during an outage with, eg, a portable generator buzzing away outside. It's clunky and haphazard, but it can work well-enough for rare

Just because it's the real world. :) If things aren't segregated and the power goes off while I'm cooking, the aircon is running, the water heater is doing its thing, or whatever, then: I exceed 3kW. 3kW is the maximum that

Does having a home inherently change disposable income?

And the proposed battery solution only works at up to 3kW. My electric range uses more than that, and my water heater, clothes dryer, and aircon each come close. And, sure: I can get by very well with refrigeration, networking, computing a

I still keep a paper map in my car, and I still know how to use it. I even update it from time to time; once every year or two. It covers my usual area in broad strokes. I just haven't used it for a very long time, and I no longer ha

If I have somewhere to be (eventually) then I also have a profound and deep and deep dislike for being lost. And I also remember those old days very well: The gas station maps, the growing accumulation of paper maps in the glove box, askin

Those are plastic gallons. Plastic gallons are similar to treetalker gallons and ssl-3 gallons, in that all of these units share the property of being different compared to US gallons. (The ssl-3 gallon is particularly strange: It isn&#

I'll be thinking of you guys the next time your deliberately-disconnected power grid freezes up and it all shits the bed again. Y'all can have the canned fish.

Agreed. We'll never stop burning fossil fuels -- not in our lifetimes, anyway. They're too useful. Like: Cement kilns. They're ridiculously intensive of energy, and they're necessary. They burn approximately everythi

EVs aren't new. Like, at all. To pick one example: Once Studebaker decided to branch into self-going car territory, they were selling electric cars[1] nearly a century before GM's EV-1 project started delivering vehicles. They w

You raise some interesting points. And the ideal, carbon-neutral reality is difficult to stomach: We humans just go back to the old ways (maybe the stone age is about the right period), wherein: We build some stuff out of rocks (which them

It would indeed have helped a ton. It's important to not let perfection be the enemy of good. If we just wait around forever for a perfect solution to appear, then we'll simply be waiting around forever. That's not the path

They can determine that today without extra parts or test equipment at all: They plug the cable in to the equipment they already have, and it either works in the way they care about or it does not. If that's the extent of the thing th

Agreed. And for logging in particular: Just switch the logging over to a temp file that lives in RAM (what disk thrash/write-amplification/SSD wear?), or even disable it altogether for failed login attempts. We already know that

People don't want "reasonably do". They want "resolutely do". They don't say it like that, but: They sure do get grumpy when the Thunderbolt-connected display for their laptop shits the bed mid-afternoon on a

It's been happening for years, and it does seem to be entirely related to its background reasoning leaking out of the context and into the output. The "It's not X, it's Y"-style repetition is another example of that

by ssl-3 2mo ago
Sure. It's just like ethernet networks in this way: We can examine a cable and see if it works by plugging in some regular gear with it, and look at the success/error rate. Lots of people do this. It's an empirical way to

I don't trust a random, in-the-wild USB port to provide sane power, so I bring my own charging stuff. :) That said: My travel tends to happen with my own car, and that travel is never international. I can see how a charge-only cable

Amazon's search is awful and I do not recall a time when it was better. It's probably this way by design, so that it always tends to present a never-ending stream of products to buy. But over here in the real world where I need a

Your Subaru+iPhone combo already tests that capability, does it not? Just purge the known-bad cables already. :) (Gather them up and scrap them if the landfill seems like a harsh destination.) In a situation of surplus, there's no re
