He was making a joke on your second to last paragraph calling yourself short instead of “in short”.

This infuriates me so much. I am sitting here like a dumbass saying that this storm is worse than Katrina. Like I know I should do research before being confident in what I know but how many small infographics like this do we digest and then regurgitate a political opinion based off of them

Is it because Microsoft is the big dog with money and Linux is no dog because there is no company backing Linux? Windows sells solely because Windows can push the product?

Would it be benificial (albeit this will be extremely frowned upon by this community I believe) for a Linux distro to be backed and monetized via a corporation with a legal team to help push a Linux product on the shelves? In the short run it’s a bad idea, but in the long run it’ll familiarize the public, and push software developers for compatability. The incentive being that there’s money now involved and it won’t be a project for people.

Because right now to use Linux for the majority of user case operations you’d need at least computer science 101 to start installing a distro, partitions, manual software installation, to get running. Or am I wrong on this part?

Call me naive, I know I am. But how can Linux be a moderated product to sell for desktop? I know phones run Linux, and many other products like streaming pucks run Linux (or is called unix?), but what would it take for an operating linux system to be centralized into a package to toss into a lenova laptop you’re staring at in best buy?

Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I’m in a veiled world since like 2015

Wow I would have went through so much trouble trying to figure out my problems before stumbling on moisture problems. Especially since I’m printing in my garage.

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention before I ran into many problems. I didn’t even think about how I’m going to store all my filament. I was just going to go loose on the bottom of my table in a container.

It’s interesting that the instructions for preparing the AMS had me take out the dessicant from the 2 trays in the roller area. I was wondering what the point of these being empty was. I’ll fill that with back up with dessicant.

Oh I see! OK yeah I’ll keep it for when I need it. But it doesn’t seem like I’ll need a lot of it so I’ll keep it to the spool I got.

Thank you so much for this information! Sorry I respond so late. Its been very busy and I haven’t had time to get on lemmy.

Before I read this I went ahead and booted up bluebeam studio and got familiar with it. Did some research and got a high temp plate just in case the PEI standard plate the machine came with won’t work with PLA+/PETG. I’ll eventually want to be able to print robust parts as components.

Then I used up my ebay gift cards and got esun and sunlu on huge sales (there’s like 3 different discounts going right now). Got 17 PLA spools in all sorts of colors including wood, marble and even 2 glow in the dark ones (red and blue) for less than $200. 1kg. I don’t think they’re cheap, since regular price averaged around $20/spool, 30 for the glow ones.

I won’t use structure either. I heard it’s not necessary. I’m doing my first custom build (kind of, just modified off an existing build) of couple deck cases with the orange/green I have. I already did a couple other runs on the green and that solved the issue with fuzzy cheap builds. I was using the wrong filament. So now I’m excited what I can come up with!

Thank you for setting me on the right path.

Wow thank you. I’m home now, and I’ll swap the white one out for one of the other ones and see how that fares in making a print or 2. What do I do with the white one? Put it in the last slot? Does the machine know when to use the white one as a support?

What would you consider is your favorite filament to work with? I’m thinking of splurging on a set off ebay. But at the same time, are discount filaments ok?

And do you use a special plate? People have mentioned golden ones that are easier to bend to pop out the build? Mine just scraped off fairly easy. And I’ve read to use hairspray or windex to make it easier to pop off later.

I’m sorry I’m asking a lot. I get a hang of things pretty quickly haha, so once I’m going on a system of what to buy and how to install it I’ll be good to go.

Wow I think you’re right. The bag even said something along the lines “this isn’t filament” and I’m like uh. It looks like filament. I’m an idiot.

Yeah what mihnt said I think it self calibrated on the first start up.

Dude I can’t even run the website anymore. It lags, won’t click links, can’t even get into my settings. I thought I had malware but it was exclusive to every time I opened a reddit link.

What does some kids leaving trash out have to do with air bnb?

Edit: didn’t read about how Airbnb insured property damage. But still, it’s hard to be responsible for the actions of others.

That might be a solution. A little over powered compared to a Vero or odrioid. Are you planning to game on it?

Thanks for the information and pointing me in a direction I can work with.

Sounds like an easy solution if you have a TV and TV remote that can turn it on and off.

This seems like what I was thinking. A pi with software, and kodi seems the best so far.

Wow that looks like an amazing software. I think I saw this year’s ago when I was messing around with plex before plex became as big as it is. I guess the question is what hardware would I use? Would a raspberry pi have the necessary processing power to stream through wifi my pc content, or play it’s own content online?

I’m very ignorant when it comes to small devices like this, and I’ve never dabbled in anything besides windows, As much as I’d love to have the enthusiasm and knowledge of the Linux community here on lemmy.

Considering the crippling wheat and other exports Ukraine provides for the west, yeah, there’s a lot of reasons to invest into Ukrainian victory and survival. I’m not niave to believe the US cares about Ukrainian lives.

Also it’s an election year. Biden isn’t refusing to send support. Congress is.

Dude I’m talking about ceceding kharkiv and Odessa to Russia which is what you are saying is a reasonable solution
