Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I get a really annoying crackling issue on my Pixel Buds, it usually pops up when shutting the screen off, when I wake the phone back up the crackling stops.

I've got a pair of Pixel Buds A and while I haven't used them nearly as long as the Pro 2's recently, they don't exhibit the issue.

And when it happens, you can't remove the photos from your backup without deleting it from all of your devices, forcing you to keep the backup if it's a photo you like.

I'm not pleased. I did the same thing too not too long ago and now I'm sitting at 90% capacity

This is the first graduation that has hit me hard. I've been a long time fan of Fauna, but last year I was going through an extremely stressful time. Fauna and Ironmouse were a source of a lot of comfort for me during that time.

This is actually devastating for me. I hope she makes another debut in some capacity, but her model was one of my favorites in Hololive.

I would have expected this from Gura, but Fauna just came out of nowhere.

Fuck, this hurts.

Kind of sounds like what Gura does nowadays.

It feels like everyone is graduating nowadays.

The lack enclosure is a DIY enclosure that Prusa wrote an instructable on how to make. You use two IKEA Lack tables to create the frame and then print some parts to hold it all together with some acrylic panels to help keep the heat in. I think my total cost of materials was like $180-$230 for the whole setup. The price includes the filament used to print the printed parts. (I'd upload a picture, but I keep getting errors when I try to share my setup here).

For me the $850 was worth it. Especially because we use Prusa printers for our print farm at work, we even just got the Prusa XL.

They're definitely a lot more expensive, but the fact that everything is open source is highly valuable to me. They're also like the Toyota of the 3D printer world (or old Toyota, the reliable kind), they're just absolute workhorses that tend to not give you too many issues. For me, I wanted to spend my time printing, not tinkering with the printer trying to get it to work.

The kit was worth it for me, but be prepared to set aside an entire day building it when it shows up, maybe even longer if you're not technically savvy.

I have a MK4. I elected to get the kit for $850 and build it myself, I'm an electronics technician so it was pretty easy to justify getting it as I knew I could build it.

I built the Lack enclosure for mine and have had great success with it. I've also added a different buffer for my MMU3 along with a Nevermore filter as the latest additions for my enclosure.

It definitely takes up more space than the normal enclosure, but I'm very happy with it. I'd recommend the lack enclosure just because cost savings is so worth it.

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.

[–] Lordran_Hollow 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Lordran_Hollow 3 points 4 months ago (4 children)

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

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.

 

 

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.
