Yeah, tandem oleds are pretty rad. And worst case you just hook the mbp to an external display. I shall acquiesce to oled.

I really don’t think it needs oled or thinner. Oled risks burn in (I say as I have an oled desktop monitor without burn in, but I worry about it) — though perhaps Apple can figure that out (micro led would be great though). As for thinner, it’s pretty dang thin already. I’d rather more battery in the 14” and be a little thicker, honestly.

The fact these men are angry about this is exactly the reason these women need to vote for their candidate of choice secretly. My goodness these people can only feel their worth by oppressing others, even if (perhaps especially if) it’s their own wife or family. What a sad existence.

Ah interesting — again happy to help out if there’s anything I can contribute to. I can make a feature request on github if there’s interest.

Anybody know of a program that would let me remap the keys on the razr naga? I’ve been using this to deal with the rgb, but would really like to edit the mouse button mappings (not averse to running a virtual machine to do it, if it’s one off, or maybe in bottles if that works).

Is there any interest in getting local models to run using this? I’d rather not use Gemini, and then all the data can reside locally (and not require a login).

I’d be happy to work on this, though I’m a python developer not a typescript one.

I personally love PWAs — why the hate for them? Personally I think more apps should be PWAs instead.

Offer to drive them! Colorado is super easy to register in also and do mail in ballots. Biggest help you can do after voting, is getting others to do the same :)

Already voted — hope everyone gets out there. Would be pretty awesome to have Allred win our senate seat; super long shot, but a Texan can dream.

Oh no we do pay taxes. Just not income tax. Because then the poors wouldn’t pay as much as the wealthy.

We also have like 0 public space so the only people who really have freedom are the people who own all the wide open spaces. And by people I mean corporations.

Texas is corporate feudalism.

Thanks for this review. Really sad to hear this 1k device blows chunks so hard. We need good, innovative, affordable headsets in this space!

You just equated doing things that you have at least semi active control over to someone’s genetics predisposing them to certain medical conditions, which they have 0 control over. In their markets, risk is supposed to balance out and make people make less risky choices. You can’t derisk your alleles.

Health insurance is a fundamentally flawed idea, and not because of preexisting conditions, but because of profiteering. We should just optimize the health of our citizens directly by taxing wealthy individuals and companies and paying for the most effective healthcare for everyone. It’s more cost effective for society at large and also serves the greatest cross section of our community, but there just won’t be a profit motive (well there is a motive that by doing better healthcare for everyone in more cost effective ways you lower the overall cost of healthcare for the society, which isn’t so much maximizing profit as it is minimizing cost-benefit ratio).

And by the way, it may be a paper next year finds an allele you have increases your risk of some horrendous disease. The people in this thread are arguing with you that you should still be able to afford healthcare. You’re arguing you shouldn’t.

 

TLDR: is the buzzing in linked video normal / okay / expected? If not, is there a way to fix it?

I’ve just been putting my Creality K1 through it’s paces, and after using up all the hyper PLA that came with the unit, started printing some inland black basic PLA. Since then, I’ve noticed some buzzing sounds on either pure x axis or pure y axis moves. Video attached showcasing it. It doesn’t seem to create any buzzing on infill moves or perimeters that have a radius. Any straight lines though seem to cause the buzzing. Prints seem okay (though inout shaper seems off for sure looking at corners). I don’t remember it happening with the hyper PLA which I printed at the same speed (I am printing the black inland at higher temp to compensate for reduced flow).

Thanks for any help or feedback! Enjoying the community on Lemmy here so far :)

 

My Creality K1 bed is actually in pretty good shape (max deviation of 0.7mm left to right, 0.1mm back to front), but I recognize that many folks might have beds that are off as much as 1.5 or more mm. The K1 has 3 lead screws, but not proper 3 point leveling (maybe someone will create a daughter board and a 3 point conversion kit in the future, after Creality open sources their firmware for the K1 series -- anyone out there that does this, I'd probably throw some small amount of money at you).

As far as I understand it, there are currently two methods to properly tram your bed:

  1. Follow the creality way, which is essentially immobilize the bed with shipping screws and retension the belt that synchronizes the 3 Z screws. To do this, you must turn the printer on it's side, remove the bottom panel, and fight the tensioner. Reports are mixed luck doing this.

  2. Skip teeth. You still have to do the bottom removal, but instead of completely removing the belt and detensioning, you slip the teeth on the belt drive (I think this is something like 0.4mm for each slipped tooth). There is less information about this, but there's a video in Chinese showing someone doing it. Perhaps a more helpful guide would democratize this more, and it might have more success than 1?

My question is: there are grub screws on the 3 lead screws, on the top side, accessible from the printer cabinet -- would it be possible to loosen the grub screws, so the z rod in that position spins freely, turn that z rod just slightly, then reseat the grub screw? That would seem a lot easier to relevel the bed, than doing either of the above procedures. Am I missing something?
