Tangled spools are a user caused issue 99.9% of the time. About the only way a spool could be tangled out of the box is if the manufacturer had to manually rewind it and they screwed up.

The article says that they say it only affected customers that check out as a “guest”. Presumably most customers use an account when making a purchase.

That said I saw the people reporting it initially saying you didn’t even need to submit the form to be affected so I don’t know how they can tell how many customers were affected.

I typically build a whole new PC and then do a mid-life GPU upgrade after a couple generations. e.g. I just upgraded my GPU I bought in late 2020. For most users there just isn’t a good reason to be upgrading your CPU that frequently.

I can see why some people would upgrade their GPU every generation. I was suprised at how expensive even 2 generations old card are going for on ebay, if you buy a new card and sell your old one every couple years the “net cost per year” of usage is pretty constant.

I’ve got the same experience, never really had any issues with moisture for either PLA or PETG.

Pretty much every PLA or PETG print unless I want the textured surface of the powder coated sheet.

Large prints seem to peel off fine, and then I use the razor to slice off any smaller prints that don’t peel off when I flex the bed.

Cool plate supertack I assume you mean given there is an older cool plate available too.

Yeah having the razor blade scraper is a requirement for that build plate to get some types of prints off. I live the plate since I pretty much just don’t have to wash it or worry too much about accidentally touching the surface.

Yeah, that isn’t going to work. The nozzle has drag force due to the molten plastic so any tall and thin beams are going to flex as the layers are deposited.

I have a hard time calling this enshittification, it dilutes term if it is just used to mean anything getting worse. Rather it should be used to describe the purposeful corporate destruction of a service’s value to boost profit after attracting users.

“Its the customer’s that are wrong” is essentially what he is saying. Anyone with any marketing ability should know how insane that sounds. Build something that people want to use to drive growth. This is pretty much an admission that LLMs are a solution in search of a problem.

Stupid question, you sure you are using the right bed temperature? The feature of a PEI textured sheet is that it self released the part when the bed cools down,.

Back when I had a Prusa I never had any success with the textured sheet and PLA, however it worked perfectly with PETG.

What you might think is “common sense” may not be for others. There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.

Same as when people make fun of “obvious” research, there is value in having it peer reviewed as a reference for future researchers.

Have they actually gone up that much? Oraybe just specific models? I just bought a 12TB NAS drive on Black Friday and the price difference was less than $20 compared to when I tried to do the exact same thing the year before.

Its somewhat homophobic in a “Hurr Durr, you are gay and like to take it up the butt” way. Plus the general stigma around men using sex toys.

My initial thought was that this is an attempt at a prank (not a very good one) between two military members.

I’m a big fan of spicy food, but I rarely use hot sauce and am not a fan of buffalo wings. For me I like foods that have chiles where the spice is part of the flavour that makes the dish taste good.

Yes, given the comment about averaging with the neighbours green will be overrepresented in the average. An additional (smaller) factor is that the colour filters aren’t perfect, and green in particular often has some signficant sensitivity to wavelengths that the red and blue colour filters are meant to pick up.

edit: One other factor I forgot, green photosites are often more sensitive than the red and blue photosites.

My question is “Why?” Pretty much everything on Spotify is already available elsewhere in FLAC format good for archiving rather than Spotify’s bad lossy compression.

I’ve never really found anything unique enough that I’ve felt the need to purchase it over a free option that is available. Frankly, these days I tend to get frustrated by all the obviously bad models out there and just use my CAD skill to properly design exactly what I want.

Also I’d never purchase just a STL file, I’m opposed to the format because it is so difficult to modify. I might consider buying a STEP file if it does something unique and useful to me while saving a bunch of modeling work.

This post assumes way too much and gives the businesses more credit than they deserve. All the AI companies are looking for is maximizing compute per unit of rack space. They are only operating under the goal of winning the AI race to become wildly profitable and powerful. There is no consideration for any bankruptcy proceedings if/when the AI boom comes crashing down as that isn’t their problem at that point.

The GPUs used for these LLMs are simply not in a form factor that could be used for consumer devices, they fit in racks that use far more power than a home computer would be able to provide.Making them that way would be utterly idiotic.
