  • 3D Printer Reviewers: Being honest in this industry will put you out of a job.

    Jump

  • IMO, toolchangers are the future trend in 3d printing. Snapmaker U1 is the current hype due to being relatively cheap and using open source klipper based firmware. Other than that, Prusa has a toolchanger, I would prefer them over Bambu any day. But me personally, I will either wait till U1 becomes cheaper or wait for a diy OSS solution like Voron with IDX once it comes out. But that definitely shouldn't be anyone's first printer.

  • Wasn't following the guy, but I will now. Fewer and fewer people in yt 3D printing space remain that care about the ethics of the companies selling this and more and more are just bambu sponsored.

  • I taught the Monty Hall problem today as a middle school math lesson

  • What helped me understand way back when I found out about it was using 3 cards, one car, two goats. Then have the student choosing not see the cards and you and the rest can see them standing on the other side. If the student never switches, he/she has 1/3 chance of picking a car. If the student always switches, it becomes obvious, especially if you see the cards, that to win he/she has to pick a goat, which is 2/3 chance. It makes it even more obvious with more goat cards. The students watching immediately see which card must be chosen for two situations - never swap or always swap.

  • Do NOT buy Creality

  • Wow, that is somehow even worse. 😯

  • Do NOT buy Creality

    Jump

  • Well, tbh, I'm not familiar enough about K1, is the hardware open source? If so, can you compare the parts? If you have some vastly different model to the current one, perhaps you have a preproduction or an early rev? It may be that you need to convert a lot of it to the new style. I don't know where you could ask for help, but some bigger community may help you better. Reluctantly, I suggest trying reddit, perhaps there, someone has gone into similar issues. At the very least, it may attract creality's attention, and they may help you to avoid bad press.

  • Do NOT buy Creality

    Jump

  • My only advice is - don't give up. A good thing is there is a cheap and usually reliable way to fix this. Some combination of parts will work, but you will have to do a lot of research and/or trial and error. You will then be a lot more knowledgeable to fix your printer in the future. This is in contrast to buying a printer like bambulab, where everything works out of the box, but it will cost more upfront. I've already worked with a bunch of creality printers and know how to solve most of the problems, so I will choose the more open source and cheaper route every time, but it's not for everyone, or even most people. You already have a creality printer, so it may make sense to try to fix it. But also, at one point, you may value reliability more than cost.

  • Do NOT buy Creality

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, creality has always been known for this sort of stuff and the sad part is they have not improved at all. Just last week, I had a friend buy a used ender 3 neo. Mainboard has 4.2.2 version, you'd think that would be a u useful information. But turns out - there is a silent and a non-silent version of 4.2.2. So firmwares are not compatible. But I found out not all 4.2.2 are even with the same mcu - some have stm32 and some gd32 (a clone). So my friend - being inexperienced, upon finding that EEPROM setting saving was not enabled by default, promptly flashed the wrong firmware and bricked the printer. I helped him flash klipper, he's printing again. But creality has been mixing and matching parts with no tracking or any logic or reason since forever. I thought they will up their game after bambu pressure, but apparently not.

  • What your Linux Desktop says about you

  • Wow, not even a bar/swaybar/waybar. That's radical, alright.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • And even if you can - is it worth it? I mean - do I care and should I care? Is the point of music detecting every detail of the recording or can I appreciate it without paying that much attention to production? For instance, I find it much more convenient to use Bluetooth headphones as it allows me to move around the house. Flac immediately stops being relevant, as Bluetooth codec is really bad compared to almost any codec. I recently tried ldac codec on my headphones - couldn't really tell the difference. Mp3 128kbps is just fine for me. Almost any situation. I care about musical content much more than production details. Other people might care more. I don't.

  • Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...)

    Jump

  • Yeah, but notepad++ was recently hacked and been compromised. An unfortunate timing.

  • Razer account “Human Verification” promotes World ID biometric verification

    Jump

  • BTW, Tools for Humanity is another Sam Altman startup, that also has World Coin crypto currency and wants to scan human irises for human verification. Razer was one of the first endorsers. The whole thing walks like a rugpull scam and quacks like a rugpull scam.

  • What's a Linux distro thats breaks the windows mold and is good for testing?

    Jump

  • You can try Niri - it is a tiling, scrollable wm, a lot easier to use than i3, I'd say half way between i3 and a full de.

  • You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift

    Jump

  • I'd say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can't, for whatever reason. So walking back won't bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they'll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

    Good news in January

  • Guitar technology

    Jump

  • Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

    French newspaper : Many Germans have a deep relationship with combustion cars. For them, buying a quiet electric car is emotionally hard to accept.

    Jump

  • Many Germans - dozens even! I mean, you will always have internal combustion enthusiasts and that is ok - they should be free to practice their hobby so long as they don't bother others too much. But I imagine they would daily drive an ev on most days if they found it more convenient and drive their hobby cars on special occasions.

  • EU readies €93bn tariffs in retaliation to Trump’s Greenland threat

    Jump

  • It's hard separating a country/regime from people. One could argue regime is elected by the people. Things are not that simple, but it is the simplest way of reasoning, and thus a way most people will use when faced with such a decision. Yes - I agree, blame the system, not the people, but someone needs to be held accountable for the system as well. But further - if ever Americans need saving, they will likely need saving only from themselves, I think it's unlikely they will ever be jeopardized by anyone other than other Americans.

  • Why Do Serbs Celebrate Orthodox New Year?

    Jump

  • I mean - any excuse for a party, I guess. But unlike Christmas, this is not nearly as culturally as important. No reason to break the tradition, but also - it's not super important, it's not even a holiday. I for one would be happy to switch to the new calendar for Christmas, like Greeks and Romanians. Currently, only Serbia and Russia of the Orthodox churches celebrate by old calendar.

  • This post only mentions that the installer works, but does the actual application work? Don't get me wrong, the installer working is still progress.
