In 2022, when Pi4s were going for $150-200, I managed to get a 7th gen NUC for about $150. I was looking to start Home Assistant, so both were viable options, but even the Pi5’s coming close to $100 retail, spending 50% more gets you a lot more performance for a 7th gen intel i5/i7 mobile chip, 16gb of RAM and a 256GB NVME.

So one thing I’ve discovered is you can’t have ANY resistance on the spool when the printer is homing. If the filament goes taught as the extruder moves down, it thinks the nozzle moved up and thinks it has a homing error.

Intel or Mellanox are both pretty solid.

Used to live in NJ, he was also despised by his fellow GOP for welcoming Obama with a handshake after we got fucked up by Sandy.

He definitely hates the common people because he knows the common person hates him.

Just picked new appliances for our house. I wanted to look at induction but the ones that were within budget had some questionable reliability in the reviews. However we made sure we have the beefy outlet so we can upgrade as the price comes down. I miss cooking with gas but new electric stoves and some good pans are not that bad. It’ll hold us over until upgrade time… I hope.

There’s a Black Ops 4…

Rosetta. But part of the CPU had x86 translation functions built in to help so not as useful here.

Can’t we do both? Leo is the godfather of makers, and is widely known across the world. Contemporaries would be great as well, though.

I did. It was a better setup than last year where the companies were smaller and they had the empty “artist/hobbyist” tables, but it was definitely more corporate this year as well.

Was just there yesterday… honestly. While there’s a lot of “RepRap” spirit, it was like 75% big company booths (PrintedSolid, Prusa, E3D, LDO, 3DGloop, Protopasta, Polymaker, Slice Engineering to name a few) this year. Which is cool, but it’s not the small little hacker space sort of vibe it started as.

I’d wager part of it was because of the outrage when they switched from the 30 pin was significant

It’s the king of ports at the moment but I have concerns about the fact there’s that “prong” in the middle of the female connector. It seems like it could be something to break. I did like the fact there wasn’t anything in the middle of the lightning port, made it seem more durable to me over time (at least the port side, but that’s what you want with these things…)

Nevermind that the same connector could be USB 3.1 Gen X fuckton-gigabit, USB4, Thunderbolt 3 or 4… USB needs to learn from the WiFi groups recent rename scheme…
