Umm, disclaimer, no experience with 3D printing, but…

Could humidity or dust on the print bed perhaps be an issue?

So the side fell off? The front fell off yesterday…

You know that nasty smell on the roads right as it starts raining? Yeah, that’s not only asphalt smell, that’s also tire dust, brakepad dust, exhaust particles, random oil/antifreeze/etc leaks, basically anything cars can inadvertently shed, and absolutely none of that is healthy for anyone… 💀

True that, very understandable 👍

Well not with that attitude!

Nah though, for real, let’s not disrespect Woz like that.

Also turns out that women likely don’t want AI studying and reporting the condition and contents, or lack thereof, of their uterus…

Is there any reason you can’t make the model in two separate pieces instead, with the floor and sides as one print, and the roof as another print, to either be glued or clipped together?

I’d think that would avoid the warping problem altogether, plus save wasted filament. Though in all fairness, it would still be nice to learn what’s causing the warping anyways, for sake of future prints…

Naw duh. You could probably replace 50 data centers with 12 jumping spider brains, those are some really intelligent critters…

Hurricane Katrina, 2 weeks no power and no internet or cell service. The local store was literally giving the cold foods away, as the coolers didn’t work, but they ended up getting a backup generator in for basic power to the lights and pumps, and they had like a mile of cars lined up to get gas, and buy dry goods and canned goods.

This was back in 2005 ya know, in a small town flooded in and struggling. Even the people running the store were struggling, they had to resort to taking a tractor to work. But we all helped each other, and the store was glad to sell whatever viable goods they had, for cash, and kept up with everything on pen and paper.

In the event of a disaster where the power grid and/or data communication goes down, how the fuck you gonna buy groceries, or anything else for that matter? 🤔

Now that it’s daylight and I’m fully awake, I just verified, that neither our Hisense/Roku TV nor our separate Roku dongle have any microphone in their respective remotes, verified by disassembly, and I disassembled the dongle and verified the dongle doesn’t have any microphone either.

Whether the TV itself has any microphone or not, I’m not quite sure, and I’m not about to disassemble that to find out, nor do I care as that TV will never be connected online.

But I can 100% confirm that neither of our Roku remotes have a microphone or microphone button.

Guess what? It might be the year 2026, but our TV was manufactured in 2022, and the Roku dongle was manufactured in 2019, so the microphone thing must be a newer feature in recent years.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll never purchase any new Roku device again.

Ignoring our Hisense TV (we’re never gonna connect that online anyways), we do have a separate Roku dongle adapter that is connected online.

I just disassembled it to verify, it does not have any microphone, nor camera.

Umm, then we must have a pre-spyware HiSense/Roku, no microphones to be found here, none that I know of anyways.

Also, no WiFi connection either, so…

Where do you get this information that the microphone is in the remote? That’s about the dumbest shit I’ve heard all year, unless your remote is now Bluetooth or something.

Infrared remotes are output light flashes only, and only work when you point them in the general direction of the television.

Now if I’m mistaken about the most modern ‘smart’ televisions, well just let me know, with reference. Because I’m an infrared hacker, and Hisense and Roku televisions still give to my infrared hacks, output signals only.

Fuck I dunno, I haven’t used the Play Store since Covid lockdown. I rather prefer to sideload most apps and avoid Google for the most part anyways.

Money is a scam anyway.

I couldn’t agree more 👍

Oh, I have a choice alright, I chose to withdraw all my money and cancel my bank account like 11 years ago, because my bank refused to accept my tax return as a direct deposit. TurboTax had to reprocess it and send my return as a paper check after the bank refused a fucking direct deposit!

Besides, when the electricity goes out for two weeks after a hurricane or other natural or manmade disaster, how you gonna get groceries or gasoline with electronic money anyways? Give me a paper check to exchange for paper money, paper money still spends even when the electricity goes out.

If it’s a service that only deals with electronic transfers, well I ain’t signing up, and you can just keep that gift card if it requires an app to even use.

Every single day I assume that tomorrow there might not be electricity, it’s amazing to me that people have come to rely on it so much and assume it’ll always be there.

Ask anyone in Cuba how that’s going right now…

Riddle me this, why do people use banking apps on mobile devices in the first place? Why put all your financial data in an eggshell just waiting to get dropped or stolen?

Bank cards have had the whole tap to pay thing for quite a while now. I drop my phone, busted. I drop my bank card, it’s fine, I just pick it right back up, and it stays in my wallet unless in use, not in my hand where it’s infinitely more likely to get lost or stolen.

You want a banking app, do so from your home computer, not a fragile mobile device literally designed to fail if it so much as falls out of your hands.

Anyways, riddle me that…

Sadly, there’s truth in everything you say. Scammers are gonna be scammers, and they’ll just find a new technique plus the long standing social engineering to continue their efforts to rip people off of whatever they can.

Still, it’s something in the middleground, to help grandma be less likely to get scammed, while also giving power users an out and way to keep using their devices the way they want.

Graphene is still only for Pixel phones right now isn’t it? I heard something about them working to expand out to other model phones eventually, wonder how that’s going and how many more devices it’ll eventually support? 🤔
