  • Need a self hosted solution to offload old Photos's from iPhones to make space in iCloud for new ones

    Jump

  • Thanks, I will take a look!Am I right in thinking this will get you the photos but it is up to you to place them somewhere and put a service/app in front of that storage to make it usable? Usable as is; the family members can all access their own photos and view them as if it was on the Photos app from Apple?

  • Creative ideas for a bunch of railroad spikes?

  • Spikes, black powder, high velocity, firing, experimenting…what could go wrong?

    Is this the right moment to wish you good luck, bon voyage and adieu? I mean, we may or may not ever see you again after all.

  • Pretty sure I just bricked my Mk4 during the mk4s upgrade

    Jump

  • Thanks for that bit of laughter! 😂You just described the Buggy Whip metaphor pretty darn good.

    Guess you liked the matrix printers (or perhaps type writers?) better then these newfangled laser printers with their fancy 'lasers' and whatnots? Not a real question, just a fun tease at your expense.

  • If it was a bambu you would be buying a new printer without an upgrade path, and since a new printer came out, your old suddenly stops working right like some Apple product. Believe it or not, bambu printers have connectors, likely from the same global supplier too.

    So, where did the Bambu touch you, can you show us on the doll in front of you? 😀

    Come on man, this is a post about a Prusa being f*cked, not an invitation to vent on how you dislike Bambu.I want my 3d printer to just work and Bambu fills that category just fine. More than fine actually, it (P1S) has been nothing but a pleasure and joy to work with. The quality it produces is mind boggling (to me at least) and it never, ever gives me headaches about hardware or nonsense like that. I do not like to tinker, I want to print and Bambu does that perfectly imo.

  • Will we (sentient beings) ever find out scientific reason for the existence of the universe?

    Jump

  • I do not think we will. You can philosophize about it though but a scientific answer is unlikely.The reason I think this is that I subscribe to the theory that the universe is the result of a black hole in another parallel universe. Black hole forms, eats matter and spews it back into a newly formed parallel universe, hence all the matter being present without us being able to explain how it came about. We call it the Big Bang. Likewise, we create new parallel universes with our black holes, the cycle continues. Always found it a neat explanation for it al.But will we know 'why' our universe was created? No, we would need to look beyond the veil and that means going through a black hole and I do not see that happening anytime soon.Problem with this theory is of course that matter keeps being flung around, what it the point of origin and will that deplete or be recycled?

    Fascinating stuff and this theory I talk about is most probably wrong as I also believe we are not capable of handling this query.

  • 'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

    Jump

  • I do not seek or want to tell others how to vote. I just look at the results and the people abstaining or voting trump or voting 3rd party should accept what they did: elect donald trump.

    Just admit it, these people (possibly you as well?) fucked america over and the consequences will be dire. But accepting responsibility and acknowledging these people know what they did seems out of the question for some reason. It seems they rather would argue someone else did this, just as you seem to do. It's always someone else who 'blocks' you in doing the right thing. Now there are scores of people left in uncertainty and quite possibly face a horrendous time while the fascist is in office.

    My message to people who made this choice: don't mope and moan, accept what you did and live with the outcome of your choices and what they will do to part of society who will not be able to defend themselves.

    Imagine that, helping elect that fascist and then complain you had no other choice so hey, fuck all the vulnerable people who will suffer because of it, not my problem.

    And now wanting to hide under the umbrella of righteousness because 'you had to make a stand', also hating that people point out that what you did was morally questionable. It has to mess with your head I imagine and what better defense is there then attack and blame others?

    Jump

  • Hear Hear! Thank you for taking the time to voice the opinion of many. We should never relent and keep shining a light on these idiots and their moronic reasoning. They chose to not vote, vote jill stein or vote trump (all the same thing) and then want to reason about it? Justify it? They chose, they chose clearly and they knew what they did. Never let these fascist wannabees off the hook.

  • 3d printer recommendations

    Jump

  • I've been eying 3d printers for years before I finally bought one. My main argument for not buying one was always the same: I am not prepared to start tinkering with a utility device. It needs to be on a similar level of a laser printer. I send a job to print to that device and it prints, that's it. Not a 100% comparison of course but it does tell you what my mind set was.

    Cue 1 year ago when I noticed the Bambu P1S. Looked at the specs, saw some youtube videos and decided that this might be the time, it is possibly close enough to being a simple usable device.I bought one and boy, did that device deliver. Load the right filament you want to use, send job to printer and it just prints. The quality is (for me at least) quite bizarre. Some parts I have printed look like it was formed by molding, it is that good.

    Nothing but praise and a firm recommendation from me on a Bambu printer.

    Note: I have no experience with any other brand (as I avoided all because of stated reasons and not wanting to tinker) and I currently have zero interest in any other brand due to being so happy with my P1S

  • Texas governor buys billboards warning migrants they'll be raped if they illegally cross border

  • I commend your ability to garner hope. It is misplaced in my opinion but I admire it none the less.

    Won the presidencyWon the senateWon the houseWon the popular vote

    Like I said, you have an admirable attitude to keep seeing hope, I on the other hand am a realist and see loss across the board.

    The only positive for me is that I am old so I have seen shifts towards a alternate political spectrum before plus I am not American so I try to buffer myself as best I can to avoid mental anguish in seeing a country I admire(d) and love(d) slide into fascism. As per Winston Churchill : You can count on Americans doing the right thing, after exhausting all the other possibilities

    I can only try to share your hope and place America in the "other possibilities" category at the moment and will rise to the occasion to be and do better.

    For now I will be a casual onlooker and see what the current state of the US is, a choice of Americans to be governed by megalomaniac fascistic idiots. Who am I to deny them that choice? I have had no say in this choice so I will not be brought down mentally by the horror of said choice.

    Good luck!

  • You just had an election where all was known about trump and republicans/conservatives and had the chance to alter course and defeat fascism/racism.

    They won and not just won, the fascists won by a huge margin and took all branches. Perhaps there will be some changes and alterations in the final results due to some corrections or whatever but bottom line is: America chose a fascist as president and a fascist party to support him in doing his bidding. It's not even a question anymore whether America is by and large a fascist and racist country, the cards went on the table and the results are in: it is.

    You lost and it was democratic, this is what America wants. Buckle up, you are in for a nasty ride. You can thank the American electorate for that, i.e. America, your neighbors and fellow countrymen.

    Your shit was collected, sorted and got together, just as the US wanted.

    And before someone starts to harp on about interference or lack of votes due to apathy or some weird 3rd 'party' siphoning votes from the democrats. Does not matter one bit, these arguments hold no significant water, not enough to change the outcome. By letting yourself be influenced or staying at home or voting 'green' we can conclude that this is what America gravitates towards by dumbness, disinterest or being easily fooled.

    Sorry for the wall of frustrated text, it just boggles the mind how a country can be this stupid...

  • Locked

    Is lead toxicity from shooting guns a primary reason many Americans seem cognitively impaired ?

    Jump

  • I appreciate you all for the anecdotes and source materials, some well researched things to ponder!

    Here’s my take on it:

    I can't remember where I read it, but I've heard that Americans all have guns and love shooting them, so they must have brain damage.

  • What are game intros you associate with staying up past the sunrise?

    Jump

  • Devil May Cry

    Whenever I hear any sound from that game, I am immediately triggered in remembering the from dusk till dawn game nights me and a friend had. Hearing the birds sing was a sign we had to maybe stop and get some sleep. Biking home through the city while the sun rises after a game binge night was surreal.

  • Hippies of the 60s who participated in movements like the summer of love is this what you imagined America would become?

    Jump

  • The 60's messed with us. Two things come to mind:

    1. A large chunk of hippies who I met went fully opposite, they embraced capitalism and the opportunities presented to them due to unlocked access of education and society becoming and being less hierarchical. And then they pulled up the ladder, denying the next generation the same benefits.
    2. Conservatives got collective heart attacks across the globe and a counter movement started to eradicate the things and goals achieved during the 60's. This took a couple of decades but we all know you can count on with conservatives, they have long goal vision and stamina.

    So, the generation who got freedoms and opportunities of the likes you will most probably never ever see in your lifetime is almost dead, they will not help out and remedy this, they are done.

    And we can see in the world right now what the counter movement of conservatives has achieved, they 'win' at just about every turn, especially politically. This is not likely to go away, it will probably get worse.

    Enjoy the results of the 60's, hippies and conservative plans to tackle that pesky freedom and equality shit...

    Your response makes little sense to me. Just warning you about what is going to happen instead of what you propose might happen under AOC.

  • Keep a close eye on that Green party, my guess is that you will see and hear nothing for 3.5 years and then they magically start bleating again in the next presidential election.

    In fact, I would put money on it but the betting offices are no fools and do not take that particular bet.
