I've been thinking about upgrading my MK3. It was a hard choice between Prusa and bamboo. This makes the choice a bit easier.

Spacepod by Carrie Nugent is hands down the best podcast about space. She interviews a different expert every week and gets them to share and explain their research. Fantastic. Hooked me from the beginning.

Some episodes are better than others, but they are always jam packed full of information.

Edit: Also, Carrie is an astronomer, so sometimes her and the guest fully geekout on a topic.

It's a rebranded Asus NUC (Intel NUC) with a custom chassis. I doubt they have any long term contracts with the low volume that they sell.

Do a BIOS recovery using the jumper. You'll have to go to download the recovery BIOS from Intel.

Page 52 and 53: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/D54250WYB_D34010WYB_TechProdSpec.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiRrLT_5tWJAxVsOTQIHS89FXsQFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0Cwh5M34aQHTbNFOuo5gGA

Edit: didn't read the full post. You can turn off the other LED in the bios.Youll need a display to know what's going on and to debug. If no storage is present, it usually boots to PXE boot or a screen that says no boot device found.

Tesla is insanely overvalued...p/e >100 with fake product launches, delay after delay of new models. Technology not meeting their own metrics.

Nvidia p/e is only 65 and they keep breaking records of yoy growth.

Apple p/e is 35. Microsoft p/e is 35.

Cisco p/e at height of dotcom crash (which many people like to compare nvidia to) was >200.

Major CSPs are locked in a race to get AGI. Spending is not going to slow...

I don't think there is an easier way to show the world how meaningless the russian government is.

I want to be a fan of ebikes. I actively looked for one for over 6 months and then I bought a regular bike. Majority of ebikes are far too heavy. Ebike manufacturers are focusing on long distances and only high end very expensive bikes are light.

I got an xz2 compact and was so excited about it. Then I realized that even thought it supported wifi calling, you could not used the feature on Verizon network. I tried so many different ways to get it to work, but bottom line was Verizon wouldn't allow the required FW. Since I lived somewhere with no cell service, I had to replace it. It's so sad that a phone can have features that can be blocked on some networks...

Europa Clipper is NASA’s mission to explore one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites. Europa has an icy outer crust that covers an ocean world. It holds twice as much water as Earth’s oceans. So, Scientists want to know more about the habitability – the ability for some form of live to exist – on this large moon.

Foundation advice (lemmy.world)

Drawing

Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.

Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).

I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.

Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?

Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.

Saw this new community from the landing page as a trending community. Just wanted to drop in and say that I had the great opportunity to chat with these guys as a supplier. The relationship didn't work out in the end, but these guys are just so cool and dedicated to making awesome products.

I know that my next system will be a system76 system.

Keep up the great work guys!
