  • I've played with some qidi printers. I've found they are not the most reliable printers around.

    It was a older machine however, so it might have been a unit issue, rather than a company one.

  • Octoprint is amazing. I've used it for years with my old ender 3.

  • Unfortunately £1678 (Core 1 + indx) is well outside my max budget for a hobby machine.

  • It's absolutely gorgeous in VR. Unfortunately it's almost unplayable for most people. The motion sickness is... impressive. I managed to work my way up to about 10 minutes of swimming, before I gave up trying to adapt.

    It's on my list to do, when the steam frame comes out.

    FYI, the best VR game I've found is "super hot VR".

  • That was definitely a nail in the coffin, as far as I am concerned. They've not passed my 'sniff test' since the start. The legal threats just show that they are doubling down, rather than backtracking.

  • Prusa has at least built up some credit with the community. Bambu came in planning on locking people in.

  • Not even playing lip service to supporting the open source stuff they built upon. They've also recently been trying to lockdown and paywall (or just drop) features. Including legal action against people trying to undo the damage.

    The general sniff test is they are trying to lock people in before milking them for all they can.

  • Both of those have a lot of bang for their buck. I had also missed both completely. 👍

  • Why aren’t there more PC-first gamepads? Valve don’t know, but they "did see an opportunity" for the new Steam Controller

    Jump

  • Valve just realised that killing the golden goose, for a quick buck, is a bad plan.

    A smooth, efficient customer experience keeps us around.

    A low friction, but not aggressively in your face sales setup makes getting us to pay them very easy.

    Streamlining the developer toolchain and sales path means more games to sell to us.

    It's not a hard formula, but apparently MBAs can't keep with it long enough to let it snowball. They keep trying to cash out early, and cook the goose.

  • xkcd #3238: Soniferous Aether

    Jump

  • QM isn't insane to understand. It's main issue is that it doesn't map well/at all to our normal experience. You need to dive into the maths, and accept what falls out.

    The main deeper level here is how the blurring happens. The photons explore all possible paths. The result is an integral of them all. In general, vast areas cancel out, leaving classical (ish) behaviour. This makes sense mathematically, but has no classical analogy to compare to.

  • xkcd #3238: Soniferous Aether

    Jump

  • It's quantum mechanical, so the maths gets complex. It can be simplified in a useful way however.

    Basically, atoms can absorb photons and then re-emit them. You can think of the photon flying past at C, but getting absorbed and emitted along the way, adding delays. In QM however, neat particles don't exist, it deals with quantised, probabilistic waves. The above effect gets blurred over the waveform. No one atom definitely absorbs it or doesn't, it gets blurred together into a general slowing of the wavefront.

  • A new study argues that the most dangerous part of depression isn’t negative emotion, it’s the absence of positive emotion, known as anhedonia.

    Jump

  • I've taken to refering to it as "going grey". It's like the chroma on my emotions has been turned down. The shape is still there, but the colour is leached out of it.

    It's particularly nasty when paired with ADHD, since it robs you of drive, which is already in short supply.

    What coping mechanisms do you use?

    My main one is 'anchoring'. I have core activities I aim to keep up, no matter what. Otherwise, when what colour I get comes back, I can be left with a ruin of a life (particularly social life) structure to rebuild from. It might not help much in the moment, but it at least speeds up the recovery phase.

  • Phone charges should plug into the top of the phone not the bottom.

  • I've got a ulefone 27T pro. It carries a lot of weird functions, despite being a modern phone.

  • Phone charges should plug into the top of the phone not the bottom.

    Jump

  • It's frustrating. My phone is fairly new, but also has the IR emitter. In a perfect world, I would set it up as a "TVbGone" type setup. Unfortunately all the apps have disappeared from the play store. Also, all the GitHub repositories are so old they don't work with modern android.

  • Have you found an app that still works with an IR blaster? My phone has one, but none of the apps work anymore.

  • It can be formed, just not in the vast quantities it was back then. It requires unusual conditions to stop fungi making a meal out of it, before it gets buried deep enough.

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 agreed as ‘landmark’ Bill clears Parliament

    Jump

  • I live in the UK. At this point, most of the polite smokers have moved over to vapes. Those left are almost entirely rude wankers who don't care where their smoke goes and who it affects. The smoking ban came in because 1 smoker can affect dozens of unwilling people.

    I have zero issues with vapes. The effect on others is quite minor, outside a few fog machines disguised as vapes.

  • We're either shy and in our rooms, or stealthing for safety

    Jump

  • It's a universal problem. Good men/women/other spend far less time "available" than their fellows. A (straight) man like that would likely be snatched up and hung onto by the first woman smart enough to realise what she's got. If she's also a good option for him, then both are off the market permanently.

    It's like a box of chocolates. It's not that the good ones don't exist. The box just gets picked clean, and you're left with the weird nuts to choose from.

    (P.s. I stumbled in here from /all, so only have experience with how it plays out for straight foke. I presume it likely plays out similarly for queer etc too)

  • Cheap Batteries Are Taking Over the World’s Power Grids | Falling costs, rising electricity demand and the Iran War are nurturing a boom in energy storage.

    Jump

  • Most home storage is Lifepo4, rather than lithium ion.

    It's a bit more expensive, and only has 80% of the capacity. In tradeoff, it gains 3-5x the lifespan, and an inability to burst into flames.

    Bigger brands tend to be more reliable in capacity and lifespan. Cheap ones are more hit and miss. It might be fine, it might fail after 3 years, rather than 10.
