Oh man, one of my white whales is getting one of those sturdy old media centers and turning the whole thing into a combined printer/cnc/laser with attached console and storage. Huge build area, head swapping, and all the gear you could ever need in a gaudy wall of wood grain and brass fixtures.
Always wanted to do the same but disassemble the printer and build it into the box. It wouldn’t be too hard to do with most drop table printers, and it’d be uniquely good for flying gantry because you could embed tracks in the box.
Plus, with a little router work and some custom pieces, you could make it look like an old Mid-Century TV and that would be cute.
Home assistant, is the light of on?
I don’t know, let me ask the clock.
In that case it should handle for a while, just don’t try to prune it before the move.
If you’re daring, you may be able to do a routine root a trim to prevent root binding and bonsai it.
“% of users steeling our ad revenue” might make you slightly more valuable than the average viewer.
That a ficus or a money tree? Either way it should probably be in a bigger pot.
It’s not one person’s data, that’s functionally worthless. It’s the aggregate data of a majority of the population that they’re selling.
Think of it like this, a survey answered by a single person doesn’t tell you anything. A server answered by 100 people is considered good data in research. LG claims over 240 million people own smart TVs or monitors globally, that’s nearly the entire population of Pakistan or the combined population of Texas, California, New York, and Florida, a survey of that many people is unheard of in standard research methods.
But it isn’t just one survey. Every ad you skip is a survey answer. Average viewing time, media genre or categories, preferred platforms, veiwer retention, time of day, number of ads you will tolerate, preferred volume, preferred content, preferred aspect ratio, preferred color tone, and on and on, and exactly accurate instead of the feeble self assessment of such. That’s not even including the verifiably proven things they pretend they aren’t tracking like every conversion you have in range of the remote.
Your specific data is relatively worthless, but as a datapoint in a chart of 72% of the population of the United States, that data can be used to change the information landscape of the world.
I’ve literally been considering exactly this for a media center. I already have a server built put of an old tower, but it’s got limited specs and I don’t want to bog down the other stuff running a gui and all that.
Recently picked up a Flash forge AD5X. I been using a qidi x-pro since before auto leveling was a normal thing and I just wanted an easy and reliable machine.
Do the z-mod to get full control and honestly the thing is a work horse. Back to back prints all week without a single fail. It does Multi-Color, resonance calibration, self loads, the works. Flash forge gets some flack for not being innovative enough, but you don’t buy a prototype car for your daily driver. This thing is a reliable Toyota Camry of printers.
Honestly, if I don’t figure out a fancy one I may just get two of these.
That’s definitely outside my current budget, but I do want one. All the QuikTrips in my area have knee high industrial versions of this that clean the floora constantly.
I’m not too worried about warranties, eventually everything I own gets tinkered on.
Love that option, but I don’t have time and the kid willfully chooses to do it wrong. Plus I’ve just always thought they were cool.
Recently I’ve seen a few articles about someone isolating their vacuum and the company bricking it in response. I’d rather skip the fight than try to dodge the punch.
If I can’t find one premade I’m not against doing it myself.
Hey could you just zip up your arr stack and send it to me? I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s just understood that it doesn’t work the way it’s advertised, but I cannot for the life of me get any one part if it to run 100% right.
No OC, but personally its the shlog of doing it every day. I moved to mulvad during the proton problem, I moved to proton during the VPN hacks. I moved to VPNs during the ISP leaks. Yeah, changing a VPN is easy but if you compare my life now to 6 months ago the only things that I haven’t had to abandon or replace are aldi, Weird Al, and a love for googie architecture. Every musician, every actor, every food product, every author, every hobby, has been tainted by the new horrible news to the point that I can no longer separate art and artist. I’m burnt out. I know I can’t support these people but I know I can’t keep constantly breaking my routine either. I don’t have time to vet every single VPN for their likelihood of supporting fascism in the next 4 years, I’m still in the middle of sorting all the pedophiles and rapists out of my 8tb of media.
At some point, we’re too beaten down to keep up with the purity of culture and those who aren’t choose to beat us with a stick instead of helping us past the next hurdle. Instead of bemoaning our failure to rise, you’ve got to approach it with understanding and appreciation for the goopy human core and advocate for realistic solutions. Punishing people for their flaws is why Maga is where it is.
I’d argue it’s relevant. In my state it’s illegal to cross a street anywhere that isn’t a crosswalk, but the city is not made to be walkable so there are places where you may walk an entire mile before you can cross. It’s understood by the populace and the authorities that no one is going to walk a two mile loop to get across 20ft of road. Nevertheless, I’ve committed a crime each time I do so and I’ve done it knowingly, on a few times in plain view of law enforcement who did not care.
In your scenario I would have to self report every time do so and the officer would have to self report every time they let me. Idealistically, this will lead to a world where we assess the poor implementation of this law and rewrite it to address the nuance of the situation. Unfortunately, I’m not the first case of nuance and this law is widely understood to be unenforceable garbage. That hasn’t changed the law. Instead it would mean I’d recieve a fine in the mail each time I report and eventually the person mailing out fines will have to flag me as a flagrant repeat offender which would lead to jail time.
Even with absolute transparency, the cheapest and most convenient option would be to jail me for crossing a street wrong and the only people that will care enough to act are my immediate family. So to ask what petty laws you may have broken is absolutely relevant to the discussion. Bureaucracies, even when crystal clear, have a way of grinding humans into pulp.
Not to condone, but just because they support an idea doesn’t mean they don’t have to follow community guidelines. I’m pretty sure they’d get banned for openly posting nudes.
Counter suggestion, FlashForge is pretty reliable when it comes to things that just work out of the box. I have an AD5X and it put out the first print before I had all the packagintlg picked up. There are a few quality of life changes I’ve had to make, it’s built to be plug and play and because of that some of the more esoteric things have to be jailbroken. All the same, it does 4 color and the enclosure kit is self printed, it’s been incredibly reliable, and I’ve had less failed prints than I have successes with some models. I can’t do high detailed minis with it but I also don’t need to babysit it, half the time I’m printing from a different room and don’t even check on it.
All in all, it’s a fantastic gateway to the hobby and when you get in deep enough to run into it’s limitations, it’s still a reliable workhorse to run on the side of something more finely tuned.
