Have the not learned anything? In 30 years of windows releases???

To get customers to upgrade, they have to release Windows 12. We only upgrade every other major version, because every other major version is terrible. Including W11.

And to think I was actually considering hitting that “upgrade to w11” button.

WILL THERE BE MORE AT 11? I HAVE TO KNOW

It’s all about what works best for the particular individual. The majority of people want some hand-holding, and that’s ok. Not everyone is into designing their own hotends or completely rebuilding stock printers into monsters :)

TBH I prefer the older machines, I stay away from the proprietary all-in-one stuff. I’m all about modularity, and usually means keeping parts and processes standard between builds for production’s sake.

My fleet of ender 3’s have upgraded themselves all to direct drive linear rail dual z, etc. but they’ve also been instrumental in creating dummy and temp parts to build multiple CNC machines, which then are used to make their own final parts. It’s wild what you can do!

I’m currently rebuilding a brand new AnyCubic Kobra2 max, since the factory controller hardware is trash. I bought it for the frame and hotbed. It’s getting all new motion control, klipper, direct drive, bl touch, and a input shaping among other things.

I can count on one hand how many “toys” I’ve printed. I have printed thousands of useful/needed items, though. That tool is indispensable to me. It’s crazy how far prototyping tech has come.

What better way to get you to pay them to steal and abuse your data?

I think I’ve clicked that button once in maybe 15 years. IMO it’s useless and I’m surprised it has taken them this long to do something about it. I wonder what the click stats for that one button are.

Let them drive their userbase further away. They have not learned their lesson in 15 years.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se sorta vibes

Press F to doubt

If this is new, think you have a wheel adjusted too tight. When this happens, during rest it develops a small flat spot which translates to mechanical ringing in the print. If you let the machine sit for a while, then slowly move that axis, do you feel a bump where it was at rest? All of the axes should be smooth with no felt noise. If you feel noise, you’ll see it in prints.

If not, I would inspect your axis rails for any contaminants or damage, I used one of my printers so much I wore out the actual aluminum extrusion on the y axis and the bed was developing mechanical slop, which was actually difficult to find until I checked the bearing races.

There was also DIGG. There were several large aggregators, but they all made changes that lead to mass exoduses to reddit. Back in the day there were sites like SomethingAwful, EBaumsWorld that served up memes and entertainment before we had purpose-built aggregation tools. Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

This brings them to about mid 90’s tech… They’ll be able to make microwave ovens, tamagotchis, and a counterfeit N64 that runs a game called “Mushroom Plumber 3D”

Still looking for that backup of that disk with my bitcoin wallet from the early days… sadly probably gone forever.

Yes. That would be in the past, making it foreshadowing.
