  • just got an unexpected 1k refund... what should I do with it?

  • With traditional home and auto loans there is a mandated disclosure form that lists your APR, finance charges, fees, and specifically early payoff or extra payments and whether those have any sort of penalty. I've personally never seen one list a fee for this (I actually just financed a car two weeks ago and went through this) on our home loan or any other prior car loan and thought it was outlawed with the regulations that got passed after the great recession when everyone was facing foreclosure.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find out that that stuff like payday loans or Klarna payment plans included some sort of penalty since they're designed to be as predatory as possible, but I've never used anything like that.

  • Do these really exist? I thought that practice was banned after the '08 recession, but perhaps it was only with certain loans like home and auto.

  • Is equating chatbots with AI any different than equating a bunch of if/else statements with AI? Is any of this AI considering none of it involves actual intelligence or informed decision making?

    Sure AI is more than LLMs, but those are the face of it in the public's eye and is what's driving these trillion dollar corporate valuations, which then lead to every company on earth declaring that their product is "AI!"

  • Maybe use ESPHome on to run the servo back and forth a few times and have an automation in Home Assistant to trigger the servo when it detects the toilet running. The hard part would probably be getting power near the toilet and connecting the servo to the handle in some fashion.

  • Precisely because they spend all day at Walmart arresting people. Police work for corporations not the public. We're just responsible for funding them and their lawsuits with our tax dollars.

  • OP I think using PCPartPicker might show you tons of options for cases with 4+ drive capacity. If you want an older case just search ebay for the options you find.

  • You can also mount 2.5" drives into the 3.5: trays if you wanted. Ive had my R6 for years now and just bought a 2-pack of drive caddies as it filled up to the point that I now have enough to fill the whole case.

  • The "CNC mindset" is perfect copies every time. That's the entire purpose of CNC otherwise everyone would just hand cut parts. Stop trying to wear your years of toiling like a badge of honor that permits you to look down on others.

  • 3d printers have been around in consumer form for close to two decades now. There's no excuse for this any longer. The reason there's such a learning curve with printers like this (I've been through it myself) is because they're built with shitty, scrap bin parts to keep prices low. The commercial folks using CNC machines would never, ever settle for junk that fails often and needs a bunch of aftermarket parts swapped in just for basic functionality. I went years on a bed slinger like these with years of more troubleshooting than printing and I would never go back nor would I tolerate it with a new printer.

  • After years of not touching books, I recently went and renewed mine and my daughters library cards to get her (and me) reading more over the summer. Currently I'm reading Dan Brown's newest book Secret of Secrets, which has been a pretty interesting mystery/thriller but also delves into the nature of consciousness and explores alternative ideas about what it is, at least in a fictional setting.
