Make sure windows was shut down all the way. Normally when you shutdown windows, it only hibernates and it locks it’s partitions to prevent editing. I tried installing Zorin for a family member recently, and it couldn’t install until I booted back into windows and shut it down fully.
To shutdown fully, in windows you need to either hold shift while clicking the shutdown button, or open the run box and run the command shutdown -s -t 00
It’s not like the current group of users is perfect either. There’s a lot of circlejerk opinions going around, and I’ve seen being get majorly downvoted for posting factual info that went against the “hivemind” opinion.
Recently ran into an issue with Endeavour OS where the built in printer program would give errors when trying to add my network ecotank printer.
Tried using cups terminal and it worked the first time, and is still working weeks later.
So some of the GUI printer apps that distros ship with have issues apparently, but I don’t know the extent of it.
There’s a big difference between doom scrolling and education.
The missing context here (I think) is that California passed a law saying that digital storefronts (like steam and gog) can’t say things like “buy game” because you aren’t actually gaining ownership of the game, but instead just buying a license to access it. Some people were questioning if this law should apply to gog since their games are drm free and can be freely installed on any compatible devices once you download the installer.
Huh, possibly bad extruder? If it’s got weak extrusion it might only be able to push it through the nozzle at higher temps.
That was a good investigation and explanation about a weird number of up votes. Thanks for explaining it.
It really sounds like you have a major problem with the printer that needs to be resolved. Without knowing any more details I would suggest making sure the nozzle isn’t clogged and possibly replacing the hot end.
I had similar printing issues with some filaments, due to heat creep. The printing would start ok on mine, but after the printer had been running awhile it would print like that. In my case heat was travelling up the hot end and Bowden tube, which was causing printing issues after a certain amount of time had passed. Some filaments were more sensitive about this than others, my cheap plain filaments and my multicolor filaments wouldn’t print well, but medium to high quality plain filaments would print fine.
There are a lot of things that can contribute to heat creep, I ended up replacing my hot end and Bowden tube, and lowered my print temperature some.
220° is pretty high, I would try to figure out why it won’t print below that temperature and see what you can do to bring that down. See if that fixes it.
Truly the end of an era
WB doubled down, after Suicide Squad failed horribly and Hogwarts Legacy sold fantastically they decided they needed to stop making games like Hogwarts to focus on more live service games.
You can kinda already do that, apps like rdx, Stealth, and Geddit pull reddit content without using the API. You can’t vote/comment, but you can still follow communities that have worthwhile content.
I’ll add that according to that site:
Nintendo switch had 527 games released this year
I’m sure there are other factors (like quality of the games, platform exclusivity, etc), but switch is still doing pretty good for an 8 year old console that’s too weak to run new multi-plat games.
This seems cool, but hasn’t Windows 11 started blocking some different apps that replace parts of the UI?
The catch with Libby is that usually all the good books have hold times. This isn’t an issue when you’ve been using Libby for awhile, you put a bunch of books on hold and you reach a point where you always have something available. But it can take weeks/months as a new user to get to that point where you are constantly having waitlisted books coming available.
Yeah, I’m fine with it.
Slice & Dice is 60-100MB (depending on what version you get), and I’ve been playing it for hours a week for 3 years now.
I linked the itch.io page, but It’s also on play store/app store/steam for cheaper.
In 6th grade we could get some bonus point on our final exam for knowing how to spell pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (which isn’t actually that hard to spell, just long) and I’ve never forgotten how.
No, I straight up had two different installation media’s fail until I went back and shut down windows fully. I’ve never run into that before on an install before.
First I tried ZorinOS, and it would fail to even boot into the live environment. I tried multiple times and even made a new install media. Then I tried fedora silverblue, it would get into the install environment but couldn’t do any kind of partitioning etc to the drive. I then rebooted to windows, shut it down fully, and tried again. This time fedora could edit the drive partitions, and zorin could load the live environment and install.
Previously I’ve had issues with shared drives being locked by windows, but this was the first time I’ve ever had an install fail because windows wasn’t shutdown fully. I don’t usually dual boot these days either though (I was setting up this computer for family) so I figured maybe something had changed with newer versions of windows or device security.
