128GB baseline storage for the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels stingy, huh? in c/googlepixel

[–] Lordran_Hollow 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah my mom convinced me to trade-in my 8 and just get the Pro model.

I have/had a 6, but the battery became extra spicy and I haven't gotten around to getting a replacement.

My Pixel 2 is still happily kicking though, no swelling and still turns on. Though the battery doesn't last long at all.

They quoted like $450-$490 for my Pixel 8, but I imagine it's going to be even less as the screen is still flashing green. Even though they're doing warranty replacements on the P8 because of that, I'm betting they're going to use it as an excuse to slash the value off the trade-in.

Yeah it's absolutely awful. I haven't checked out the trade-in pricing. I haven't ever tried that before, I was considering trading in my pixel 8, but I like having a spare in case something happens to my main phone and it needs to be repaired.

But yes, I agree it is a bad look.

Agreed. I desperately wanted a Pixel phone with 1TB, when I saw that not only is the Pro available in a normal size model this year, BUT with a 1TB option I got excited...until I saw that it adds $500 to the base price of the phone, bringing it to a whopping $1499.

I'm gonna wait and see what the pricing looks like on Black Friday. I was originally wanting to keep my Pixel 8 until support ran out, but I'm already over half full on my 256gb, and my screen is having the green screen issues. I know I can get it warrantied, but the 1tb normal sized Pro is just a tempting option.

Oh man, check his profile on printables. He's got a 500 cig adapter. Man has designed the route to speed run cancer acquisition.

Agreed, I also miss the feature of being able to extend a screenshot on a page.

But uBO is a necessity now to browse the Internet. The ads are so bad now.

Yeah the Bishoujo series by Kotobukiya does that. They take everything and turn them into anime girls.

Optimus Prime

Starscream

Megatron

Geralt of Rivia

No one is safe from the waifu beam.

In 1 hour, Gura and Fauna are "racing" in Dark Souls: Remastered in c/hololive

[–] Lordran_Hollow 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I can understand. I definitely wanted to help them as well.

I am worried that fans may get a little over eager with wanting them to play again. During one of Fauna's recent streams, she expressed concern about how passionate the Dark Souls fanbase was and that she wouldn't be able to live up to their expectations, making her apprehensive about playing again.

Painful? As a veteran souls player, I had a ton of fun watching them play. I had both streams opened while they were streaming, I was excited to watch them do so well.

Printable make posting locked behind purchase? in c/3dprinting

[–] Lordran_Hollow 8 points 5 months ago

Had this happen as well with the GR86 trunk handle file that's on there as well. I made a make, tried to mark it as such, but was given the same error. Like with your case, the creator doesn't have an option for purchase/support.

Unfortunately all we have been told is that Frieren is going on indefinite hiatus. We have no idea how long it's going to be.

And now begins the long wait for the next chapter. Just got the soundtrack a couple of days ago, so I guess I'll be playing that on repeat.

What are y'all watching this season? in c/[email protected]

[–] Lordran_Hollow 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As a light novel reader, they did an amazing job with Eighty Six. I could not be happier with it, the only thing about the anime I don't like is that they never gave it a season 2.

I really want to see my favorite character animated.

Need help finding a large dehydrator (self.3dprinting)

submitted 9 months ago by Lordran_Hollow to c/3dprinting

Hey guys, I work at a lab that has a small print farm. We recently had to get a supply of 2.5kg ESD filament as our vendor didn't have the usual 1kg spools in stock. The problem is these new spools are massive, and our filament dryers are nowhere near big enough to accommodate them.

I have this Cosori food dehydrator at home (picture below) that I've repurposed for filament drying, and I brought in one of its segments to see if the spool would fit inside; but the spool was still too large.

The spool dimensions are 3.875"H and a diameter of 11.75". Does anyone know of any food dehydrators that would be large enough to accommodate a spool of this size?

I'm currently doing research to see if I can find a large enough dehydrator, but all of the manufacturers I've so far looked at seem to only give external dimensions, not internal. If anyone knows of a good dehydrator, it would really help out!

RCS issues on Pixel 8? (self.googlepixel)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Lordran_Hollow to c/googlepixel

Hey guys, just got my Pixel 8 in. Set up has been really fluid so far, was very surprised to see that the phone even handled transferring my eSIM for me.

Anyways, the one annoying snag I'm running into is Android Messages claims my Pixel 8 is not compatible with RCS features. I've tried clearing storage on both Carrier Services and Android Messages, turning my SIM off/on, power reboots. Nothing works, this app is dead set on saying the Pixel 8 isn't RCS compatible.

Any other Pixel 8 owners running into the same issue?

UPDATE:

Well, I don't know what I did/didn't do, but RCS just started working its own. Technology is a fickle thing.

Really dumb questions about learning guitar (sorry) (self.guitars)

submitted 1 year ago by Lordran_Hollow to c/guitars

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this post comes across as super dumb but I was just wanting to ask for some advice about learning electric guitar.

Over a decade ago I inherited a guitar from a friend who took his life, I tried learning it at first but ended up getting distracted by life and dropped it. Recently though I saw it sitting and collecting dust and decided that, even if it was a cheap electric guitar, I didn't want it to spend its life like that.

So yesterday I got some new strings, a new (and better) amplifier than the $20 one I bought secondhand over a decade ago, and a couple books about guitars, one of them being a book with nothing but like 300+ different chords, I also fixed the intonation on the bridge.

So here's my questions:

I'm looking to try and play punk rock music (All American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, stuff with that kind of sound). What chords should I focus on learning that would be good for that kind of genre?

And I'm guessing the chords are can be played by strumming all of the strings together at once or you can play the notes individually, one after the other?

Sorry again if this post is really dumb, I really want to try and make sure I don't drop this guitar again, I'd like to properly honor my friend's memory and give this guitar the attention it deserves.
