I have been using Workflowy.com for many years, and it is amazing. The only thing that bothers me is that it is proprietary and not something I can host myself.

I don't really 'get' how LogSeq works? It seems to run in a browser, but it seems to require local storage? So it is not something I could install on my homelab server and access from anywhere?

(Also, I really don't understand Lemmy. I went to lemmy.world/c/logseq hoping to find a community, and yay, here it is -- but there are no posts? I don't believe that someone created a community and I am the first to ever post in it. Confusion like that is what is making me consider going back to reddit...)

I am looking for an action cam. It does not need to be a GoPro or DJI simply because they are so very expensive -- but finding alternatives is difficult, mostly because all those products are misrepresented on sites like Amazon. Some reviews reveal that the manufacturer offers free add-ons to customers who post 5-star reviews. That means I cannot trust any review at all.

Where can I find honest reviews? How can I choose a decent action cam without getting scammed?

Printing here with eSun PLA at 215 C on a Prusa Mini, and there are lots of hairline strings.

What's causing those strings? Temp too low?

TLDR = what's a good next step after kid-friendly 3d creation tools?
Solved = Fusion360 is voted as winner, we even got a nice tutorial playlist.

Hi all - I'm still very much a new user. Highly skilled in IT but just getting my feet wet in 3D printing, since a month or so. I love the possibilities! I can physically create anything I can image, it's amazing.

So far, I've used mostly TinkerCad and done lots with it. The learning curve is practically non-existent, and it has sufficient features to do a lot.

But of course it's not perfect. Obvious example: can't do fillets, except in roundabout ways using negative blocks.

I've tried OnShape, OpenScad, Fusion 360, but found them quite a steep hill to climb.

Are these good choices, or is there something in-between that would make it easier for me to advance?

First, apologies if this isn't the best community; please direct me to a better venue if so.

TLDR: I need to buy 2× used gaming laptops that are powerful enough for 3D-heavy games -- I don't know what to look for?

Situation:
My kids have used Lenovo laptops for their rooms, and after some years, their gaming choices (BeamNG and other such 3D-heavy games) mean that old business laptops won't cut it. They need to be replaced (the laptops, not the kids!).

Problem:
Back when I was young, I understood CPU and GPU requirements - these days I don't. Help!

• An Intel i7 may be great but it may also be several years old. I don't understand the naming anymore.
• Most normal laptops have integrated graphics which don't satisfy even most basic GPU requirements.
• Real "gaming laptops" are expensive! And I need 2 of them! Gotta find something used, and I have no idea what search criteria to set.

My printer (well, PrusaSlicer) always starts with a line around the object I am printing. See (1) in the image. --Why? What does that do?

There is also this line (2) at the front of the bed. --Why? What does that do?

Here's a part of a cabinet in my wardrobe where my printer lives. It's a bit noisy with all those hard surfaces so I am just about to put up some foam padding on all 5 sides.

Is that stupidly dangerous?

You can see I have a smoke alarm there, but it won't stop a fire on its own.

Edit: the cabinet has no door, it's always open like in the photo, but the wardrobe door is generally closed. The room has some ventilation so smells do go away.

Background:

• At work we use MS Office, because who doesn't. We used to have a central file server with lots of well sorted directories.
• Then Corporate decided to ditch that, everything must move into OneDrive so there's always a Data Owner.
• The local boss had to move everything from the network share into his own OneDrive, and then share, with each of us, the folders that were relevant to each of us.
• This sounds like distributed storage, which is probably smart in some way.

In reality, it's shit. Everything is now a link to "corporateName.sharepoint.com" in the browser, and it's a hassle to find that in the file explorer. SOmeone just shared a folder with me. I see it in my browser. How do I get it from the browser into a normal folder view? Should I forget about on-disk storage; is everything today just a browser bookmark?

Worse, I have no idea what's where. Some people share some stuff and somehow it ends up in my OneDrive, but what's the context of it?

This seems so wrong to me. Am I just not "getting" it??

Hi all, I'm not sure what to do here. The controllers vibrate extremely loudly, it sounds like I am shaving my face! I don't remember it being so loud when the thing was new, just two months ago.

Is it defective?

What's the best way to get warranty replacement? I got it from Amazon but the only course of action there is to send in the whole thing for repair. Is that the best choice?
