3DPrinting@lemmy.world•[Zack Freedman] You can copy and 3D print perfect spare parts! (Legally) (Probably)English
14·7 months agoI really liked the video and the way he explained the process. Loved the tip about using translucent/white PLA in the first few test prints and making notes with permanent markers.
Ooooh
Do you have a link to that video?
I ended up going with the Flashforge Adventurer 5M for ~$175 https://slickdeals.net/f/18590524-flashforge-adventurer-5m-wi-fi-3d-printer-w-auto-leveling-167-20-free-shipping (You can get 20-60% back from certain cashback websites like TopCashback or Capital One Shopping if you are comfortable with using them.)
You can 3D print an enclosure for the 5M after purchasing an enclosure kit for ~$40 online.
There’s also the 5M Pro model for ~$100 more that comes pre-built with an enclosure for sound dampening and printing with materials like ABS. It also comes with a camera and an extra nozzle. I didn’t go for it cause of the higher upfront cost, plus I don’t expect to print outside of PLA and PETG.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple announces iOS 26 with Liquid Glass redesignEnglish
7·1 year agoGives me iOS 7 vibes.
I like it in theory, but in some of the examples they provided on https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-introduces-a-delightful-and-elegant-new-software-design/, reading text isn’t the easiest with all the colors and blurs everywhere.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord in Early Talks With Bankers for Potential I.P.O.English
9·2 years agoDiscord, the social chat app popular with the video game community, has met with investment bankers in recent weeks to discuss preparations for an initial public offering as soon as this year, two people familiar with the talks said.
[…]
The people, who requested anonymity because the conversations are confidential, cautioned that the talks were still exploratory and that I.P.O. plans remained subject to change.
Intensely dumb.
EDIT: The Pro Plus Premium Max etc words all jumbled up together just don’t fit well with me. I’d need to keep referring to the chart in the article to avoid confusing between all the models.

Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, againEnglish
342·2 years agoI don’t mind paying $10/mo for access to millions of songs on demand, even if the caveat is that I don’t own anything at the end of my subscription.
I understand costs have gone up, so I can accept a $1 increase in subscription. The problem is that Spotify wants to do a bunch of side projects at my expense. I have no interest in podcasts or audiobooks yet I must fork up the extra money to fund it. I have no say in what my money is being used for and I hate that.
It’s why I moved from it to Tidal and then to Apple Music (even though I’m on Android). Both have their own issues but at least they’re focused on music.

Technology@lemmy.world•Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pauseEnglish
45·2 years ago“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,”
“If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”
:(
I bought the V2 suite of their apps at release to support the company because I’m tired of perpetual subscription software. I’m not expecting lifetime updates or support, I just want whatever I paid for to work reasonably without hassles.

2·3 years agoThe Sense 2 and Versa 4 never got third party app support in the first place.
They accidentally uploaded a third party app “WellnessBuddy” to the Fitbit store once and I downloaded it on my Sense 2. Works perfectly fine. They never bothered expanding support.

But yeah, I don’t recall the last time I heard music in a residential elevator.

Technology@lemmy.world•Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojisEnglish
121·3 years agoI disagree with them.
- Emojis do not look the same on all platforms. Let’s take
white large square⬜ for example. Emojipedia shows what that emoji looks like on 26 different vendors. Some are pure white, some are shades are grey, and then there’s Microsoft who in its usual infinite wisdom decided it should be purple.large yellow square🟨 is a tossup between actually yellow and orange. This issue is also exacerbated with different displays displaying colours differently. Factors such as color accuracy, viewing angle, brightness affect how you perceive colour.

This also extends to face emojis.
grinning face with big eyes(Emojipedia link) isn’t that easy to tell apart fromgrinning eyes(Emojipedia link)- Emoji support depends on your device. I’m on Windows 11 22H2 which recently added support for
shaking face🫨. Problem is, Windows’ emoji pickerWin+.(period) doesn’t have it. Trying to login on a friends phone that’s still on iOS 15 or Android 12, beforeshaking facecame out? Enjoy manually copy/pasting the emoji from Emojipedia.
correct horse battery staple on the other hand looks the same on all devices.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block GoogleEnglish
33·3 years agoI could understand if Reddit’s own search was somewhat competent, but it remains terrible.
Lemmy’s search is far more flexible, it’s just buggy/broken right now – at least for me.

Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming AppleEnglish
5·3 years agoFacebook bought Instagram for a billion. WhatsApp was 16 billion (and additional 3 billion in restricted stock units).
Looks like it was previously given for free by Amazon Games if you had a Prime sub and claimed a copy. Was apparently also in one of the Xbox Live Games w/ Gold months.

Apparently the legality stuff is iffy according to YT comments and the tips in the video should not be construed as legal advice.
