fluxAto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Since Bambu Lab just shit the Heatbed, what Printers should I get for a Print Farm-esc Setup?English9·3 months agoI got the Creality K2 with CFS and I love it.
It did arrive with a broken door, which seems to be a common issue, but Creality shipped a new one with no hassle and I got it in under a week. Other than that I’ve had no issues.
It’s large and crazy fast compared to my older Ender 3. It does multi color, although I find the purge waste seems excessive, so I avoid most multi color prints except ones that change at layer height, which it handles automatically. The CFS is still useful for swapping automatically if a roll runs out. I’ve got over 200 hours on it now and it hasn’t skipped a beat. I love being able to print anything anytime without spending all the time tinkering to keep it running like I did with the Ender.
I specifically avoided Bambu and waited for this printer to release because of Bambu’s closed ecosystem. They remind me too much of Apple. Creality has a decent track record with open software, maybe not the best with support, but it’s worked for me.
fluxAto Android@lemmy.world•Android is adding some extra protection against stalkers tracking you with tagsEnglish3·5 months agoIf a thief steals an item with a tracker, they won’t know until the cops come knocking.
If their phone alerts them, now they know to either ditch the item or find and remove the tag quickly. If their phone now allows them to disable tracking for 24 hours easily, they have more time to find and disable the tracker.
I’m not saying these features won’t prevent stalking, but they do hurt theft tracking which is a primary purpose most people use these tags for. It seems they can only really be used for lost items, and only if lost near honest people, not opportunistic thieves.
It’s a shame stalkers had to ruin tracker tags, but I suppose it was inevitable.

fluxAto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What to you was your biggest loss of pirated content?English21·7 months agoTheTrove was a collection of tabletop RPG books and magazines going back decades that has never had a decent replacement yet. It was fairly well organized and quite complete with tons of obscure games and out of print books. It had a different name or two before that but the collection always migrated somewhere until The Trove was finally shut down. I really miss that collection, even though I’ve managed to track down most of what I needed, it has been much more difficult since the shutdown.
fluxAto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?English3·7 months agoI love that word. I don’t know where I even learned it first, but I sometimes throw it back out there. It’s so fun!
Inconceivable!

I have mine hosted on elest.io. As easy as it gets. Just choose your software enter some initial domain setup and deploy. Can’t beat it for 18 bucks a month.
Well, I’m not saying I’d like to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely.
I mean, it’s a split second, but yeah, I gotta think about it. I don’t think there would be noticeable lag, but it’s definitely a conscious thought. I just thought everyone had to have the thought go through their head, it’s not just like an instinct or anything.
Yeah, definitely. I didn’t know people didn’t have to think about it for a second.
Wait, are you saying you didn’t have to actively think about which is right or left before? I’ve always had to think about it, only for a second, but it’s definitely an active thought thing for me.
fluxAto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What happened during your worst experience of sleep paralysis?English7·11 months agoI never get sleep paralysis in bed at night. It only ever happens if I doze off during the day, usually somewhere unusual like at work.
I had a boring job for many years where I just had to be in the store, and sometimes it was very slow. I would doze off in my chair, knowing it was a slow day and we had a door buzzer to alert us anyway if someone came in.
When I would fall asleep like that, my subconscious worry of someone coming in and catching me asleep would kick in and I would dream that I heard the door buzzer. In the dream I would try to get up and be ready, but completely unable to move. Sometimes I would dream a customer coming, or hearing the phone ring. And every time I would fight to open my eyes.
While having this struggle I would realize that not only could I not open my eyes, but I couldn’t even move my body or breathe. So then I would start trying really hard to do one of those, sometimes fighting to lift my arm, or turn my head, or just struggling to breathe.
It always seemed like an eternity of struggling to snap out of it. And eventually I would wake up, sometimes hyperventilating because I was trying so hard to breathe but was actually doing it just fine without knowing. It also seemed as though I could see my surroundings, but I’m not sure if my eyes were open or that was part of the dream.
But every time I woke up like that, there was no customer in the store, no missed calls on the phone or anything. I had dreamed the part that woke me up, but with no other recollection of any other dream besides being there in the store.
Sometimes, when I heard the door buzzer, I would wake up just fine and deal with whoever came in. Eventually I realized that the actual door buzzer would wake me instantly with no problem, but the one I dreamed never did.
I don’t really have these episodes anymore since leaving that job and no longer having the opportunity to doze off during the day. But every now and then it happens if I take a nap on the couch or someplace else during the day. I think it’s my subconscious trying to stay alert to things around me when napping at odd times with the potential to be interrupted.

The only thing more poorly designed than a regular keyboard is a keyboard where they try to cram extra functions into the same number of keys with a FN key. Every brand does it differently, no consistency even within the same brand sometimes.
