  • Yep, for me my first printer was a Prusa MK3S+. At the time it was definitely the sort of experience you just described, and I jumped on the Prusa Enclosure upgrade to enable ABS. But there were some maintenance frustrations nevertheless that prompted me to get a backup printer.

    I went with an Ender 3 V2, and my god that gave me the whole “literally doesn’t work out of the box, buy this mandatory set of aftermarket upgrades and enjoy your continuous maintenance trap” experience.

    Never again. I sold that and grabbed an X1C which became my main printer with the Prusa as the backup.

    I totally appreciate the value of open source; Linux built my career and I’ve lived and breathed it and the OSS community for the better part of two decades. I also totally appreciate and respect folks who take joy in tinkering with and maintaining their hardware. I’m just not that guy anymore and I’ve transitioned into the “wanting things to just work” phase for most things.

    To me, if we can have both closed source options and open source options competing and each surviving — to me similar to say MacOS and Linux — then everyone can benefit; there’s a solution for everyone.

  • A level headed take on Bambu identifying positives and negatives? I must be reading the wrong community.

  • First thought from the article: “…it’s actually a little bit more complex than I expected. Recreating a shell isn’t going to be the tough part. It’s actually this: recreating the media itself with some PET film and a bunch of chemicals” — would.. anyone think the chassis is more challenging than the storage medium to create 😅

    But I thought this was a genuinely awesome video. Loved the presentation and the diagnostics and iteration. “Now, if you’re one of the people who got chills looking at the data at the end of the video…” - guilty.

  • “we found a way to make the same workload 3× faster, and it didn’t involve maxing out GPU utilization at all. That story’s for another post, but first, here’s the recipe that got us to near-100%.”

    In case anyone is here specifically for that part of the post title.

  • For sure. And it wasn’t that simple during the rust shenanigans in February I’d say, but these personalities love to come up and cause trouble 😅. It’s really the nature of open source though; you’ll find similar in major open source projects. Hashicorp GitHub issues come to mind as an easy example.

  • Linux is about to lose a feature [Bcachefs (ofc)]– over a personality clash (ofc)

    FTFY

  • Gotta be real, the title of the article promised something and the opening paragraphs didn’t reel me in with a concrete surprising example to get me to read past what seemed, after reading on a few more paragraphs, to be a very long winded path to get to the point.

    Microwave Stopping Technique

  • My 2c: while I don’t think I have enough context and history to really know, since you said rage I’d suggest trying to reflect on all this. Rage can be unhealthy (literally) and in a way it could be that you’re allowing this person to have a negative effect on yourself. It’s great that you care about your work and its success, but ask yourself whether you need to care this deeply about someone else’s work even if it impacts your own. I’d ask whether you could achieve the same result (reporting their behavior up to recommending they be fired) in a more calm, purpose-driven manner.

  • Tried it and nothing, double checked the manual for my model and looks like this one just doesn’t have a mute or volume down function. Ah well, eventually it’ll break and I can fix it then!

  • “Simplifies”

    Thumbnail: something decidedly not simple

    Edit: and reading the article, it’s so so much more complex than the picture could’ve implied. Awesome concept and implementation, but not simple.

  • Yep, I scrubbed all my feeds for this reason. I have enough friends that post the lowlights to group chats anyway, that’s already more than enough of the bile for me.

  • This is how you know someone who wins the Whomp Mario Party mini game also has IT rage.

  • I’m hoping this will prevent toxic gym membership cancellation practices

  • It’s an honest shame their corporate dysfunction wastes all this potential.
