  • Ideas about bulging corners on top ~5mm?

  • It’s a prusa-style printer, no make or model, i put it together from parts laying around! Edit: Z axis is fine, i regulary print tall objects and there’s no wobble, but thanks!

  • Damn, i would’ve never thought about that. Went to check the speed in prusa, would you look at that…

    Perfectly corresponds to the bulges.

    Thank you, Detective Carighan!

  • Building a Hypercube and looking for advice

  • Check if your extrusions are straight if you’re reusing chinesium. Watch out when/while building the Z axis, you don’t want to print parallelepipeds! Otherwise no advice, it’s pretry straightforward.

  • Newpipe doesn’t have a version for iOS, the newpipe team decided it won’t support the os because it heavily relies on android api. Not to mention that you probably couldn’t easily install it even if it exists. Youtube without ads is available via safari though.

    Nothing wrong with differences. I just wanted to point out that many of the things i thought i would be missing, i’m not, either because there is an alternative or because it’s in the os by default.

    To answer your last question, an example, i paid more money to get less enjoyment from one of the computers i use in the “home lab”. I could’ve spun up yet another VM for some services, for free, but i decided to purchase a dedicated machine. It had to be small tho, so the only real option i had was the Intel NUC.

    It costs triple of the DIY version, not to mention infinitely more than a “free” VM, but it was the right choice. CPU is soldered, you have to buy M.2 storage because no sata ports, and it takes SO-DIMM. I “could” buy a cheap AMD CPU and motherboard and reuse multiple sticks of RAM and SSDs laying around in the lab, but the power consumption and form factor were more important for the use case.

  • Slowly but surely i’m getting on the same boat. If i lost my phone tomorrow and couldn’t afford a new one, i would much rather get a second-hand iphone from a year or three ago than a cheap android

  • I guess what i wanted to ask by creating the post is exactly what you are saying.

    Why would you want to jailbreak a phone or sideload apps? Maybe you don’t have to? I was blown away by the amount of apps and features baked into the iOS and macOS, i had no idea that was the case.

    And you can’t even know if you don’t try. Look at the amount of people saying, for example, you can’t have adblock on safari (you can), or that there are no automations on ios (there are).

    I’m not trying to preach or to convert anyone, i’m just saying that i’ve been living under a rock and didn’t know about any features the ios/macos offer.

    Also, apple products work just fine, sometimes better, with non-apple hardware and software.

    Bluetooth devices especially.

  • Good for you. I switched to libre or at least alternative software which is (almost all) cross-platform compatible. I replaced almost everything apart from some niche software that only works on windows.

    The day i can game on linux is the day windows goes to the VM just for that few pieces of software required for my business.

    That said, mac comes with most of the every-day items preinstalled. Mail, spreadsheets and the likes. Windows on the other hand - not so much. Windows mail app can’t hold a candle to the mac app or even the ios app.

    You need to pay for office for that. Same on android. I can do 99% of stuff without installing any app from the app store.

  • I guess if that particular app doesn’t work then it doesn’t. But i have zero issues with syncing the Bitwarden vault, or Synology drive, Nextcloud, or Synology Photos. Maybe the issue is with Syncthing.

  • Yeah it looks like i need new friends, but that gets kinda hard when you’re older

  • I’m using nextcloud and synology drive (both available from the internet) with SMB fall-back through wireguard in case i need access to other folders on the server.

  • I don’t know about the support part, i was on call with support for the first few days about basic functionality regarding the phone and the laptop and they were very polite and helpful.

    Also, there’s a easily accessible user manual for every device and every function on their website, something that can’t be said for a lot of other brands.

  • I think all major brands are going in that direction. I work in electronics repair (not consumer electronics) and it used to be “a thing” to have schematics available for a device you are repairing. Not anymore, and for a long time.

  • I would love to try a Pixel, unfortunately it’s not sold in my area and i wouldn’t have any support if something went bad with it. The best phone i had was a Nokia, and it was the phone with the worst hardware, but the stock Android experience was beautiful.

  • Not true, sorry. Using self hosted cloud and it works perfectly.

  • I find the keyboard much better than gboard. I don’t use autocorrect tho.

    Stock apps are one of the things that kept me. I didn’t have to search the play store for an app, it was already there. I use imap for mail, and the mail app is the best app i ever used on any mobile device. Paid apps included.

    There is adblock for safari

    Background sync works a lot better for me than on Android. I never have to worry about syncing photos or files, while on Android it would stop and i wouldn’t notice for weeks that my photos disn’t sync.

    Apps are more expensive, but better as well. There are apps that are the same as on Android but pricier on iOS, i agree there.

    I don’t use a filesystem on any computer, or should i say built-in storage. Everything is connected to my home server and that part works as intended.

    For that part, the Apple website has an actual user documentation for iOS and MacOS and it’s good. Not the best, but far better than anything available for Android.

    You have to actually give it a try. It isn’t like android. It requiers some adaptation. That said, i understand if someone found their OS of choice and doesn’t consider anything else, i just never was in that postition with Android.

    1. No why?
    2. Ok, i didn’t take any writing classes
    3. What does that have to do with a device? To each their own, but i wouldn’t choose my daily drivers based on a company. We almost all drive gas cars, and big oil=bad, same with a lot of other stuff in our life but people are somehow really worried about their phone brand
