Don’t forget that August 28th is women’s equality day, the day that the nineteenth amendment was certified, giving women the right to vote.

They’re going after the homeless just like they said they would.

The video out is just an rca cable you can plug it into a more modern tv in the yellow video port. I’m using an lcd tv I have for older stuff.

I just picked one up for $20. Missing the cable for the double disk drive though and it had a bad psu and I have no disks. Basically it’s a money pit. But fun to mess with anyway.

I don’t see why you couldn’t just use a different material if you wanted a more permanent solution. A resin printer is likely ideal to get good accuracy.

I’m anticipating a crackdown on piracy in the near future. Even if you use a VPN that could get you flagged and traffic analyzed maybe even dropped from your ISP.

Do you count that as modifying if you add a raspberry pi or a camera, but you can still just remove them and have the printer just like it came ootb?

These are definitely things that come with better printers these days. I only use octoprint with my cheap printer. It gives better results because a rpi is miles better at keeping up than the cheap board they put in there, it also didn’t come with Wi-Fi or a camera which are things that come out of the box on other printers. Of course in the past printers didn’t come with those things. I would consider them accessories because they added the USB port to the printer for you to send commands to, which is what you’re doing.However, If the printer were “better” then you wouldn’t have to use those things since it would already have Wi-Fi, better board, and a camera built in.

That’s still “how it came out of the box” though as long as you use the same nozzle or one reccomended by the company. Just like replacing your brake pads with factory brake pads and not upgrading them to something better.

Anything other than how the printer came out of the box.

Had I not worked in the plastics industry for many years and been a hobbyist tinkerer I would have never bought a printer. Unfortunately I never got around to actually learning cad because there is usually an stl already available for what i want to do. I started messing with freecad so maybe I’ll learn how to make parts and then I can probably justify a just works printer or just have parts printed by someone else.

Orca slicer just works on Ubuntu, but I had to use the appimage and not the normal install. I’m using octoprint on an old thin client which runs Debian and has been rock solid for many years.

Yeah maybe it was Microsoft It’s been quite a few years since it happened.

I remember there was an article years ago, before the ai hype train, that google had made an ai chatbot but had to shut it down due to racism.

Auto bed leveling and direct drive are pretty much the only things I want, and it’s got them and was cheap.

That was my thought process with the Kobra Neo.

The bed was so out of whack that I added adjustment wheels (it had solid spacers) and I upgraded the firmware to a modified one that added a couple of qol features. Now I’m realizing that the part cooling fan is just not big enough to keep up especially with the duct they put on there. If it weren’t for all the stringing then my prints would look good. Then of course there are other common issues people had with these with the bed wires breaking.

This one is on the high voltage side it’s an NPN transistor p/n C3679. It’s showing connectivity through the collector and Emitter in both directions meaning it’s bad. I ordered several in case I pop the first one since there could be more bad components. If I can’t fix this one then I really need to get ahold of some kind of PSU that has -5v so that I can test the computer itself before I go spending $50+ on a good factory PSU.

I made !flipping@lemmy.world for discussing this very thing. I wrote a beginners guide to eBay. I recently figured out that people on marketplace care more about PCs with a windowed case and rgb lights over system specs.

Unfortunately it has a vintage aftermarket power supply in it. I found a bad transistor so far, the caps seem ok.

This would make a great website. Match job listings with this type of data. Get all job applicants on there and then set strict criteria for companies to post jobs on there. Enshitify the entire process for the companies and make them beg to have their ads shown.
