As a young Norwegian I can say that I've saved a bit of money by pirating. I have a nas with 10s of tb of movies disney or Warner bros can't delete from my library.

Hasn't this been normal since the 70s? I've heard stories from a bunch of people that dentists pulling out perfectly good teeth was an "epidemic" that has caused a bunch of damage.

I wonder what kind of relationship scam they're trying to pull on you. Or maybe there's some creepy guy that "wants to be friends"

It's got a flared base so you're good to go

I assume they also removed the feature that allows you to resize the taskbar to half the height of your display.

The hotspot is usually in the battery, so point the heat gun towards it. You know you have better wifi if the cells puff up

Eh just alternate 2.4 and 5ghz on every device. If you want more 2.4ghz, I suggest you run a microwave without the door for more wifis

"hi I've been trying to contact you about your ring doorbell's extended warranty"

I have a great solution for that. Buy about 50 cheap phones, and set one in the middle of the building with wifi Hotspot enabled. Spread the rest of the phones around the building, and keep the closest ones connected to the center device. Turn wifi Hotspot on those devices, and they'll retransmit the wifi from the center phone outwards. Do this until all phones are connected to other phones, and you've got a cheap and horrible mesh wifi solution with 50 SSIDs

Hey y'all, I've been having issues with gaps forming between the outer layers of the print walls, and I'm not sure how to fix that. I thought it might be because of a clogged extruder, but the issue didn't get fixed when I cleaned it. I tried adjusting the E-steps, but smaller values caused blobs of filament to form on the outer walls likely because lower values overextruded the filament. Apart from the weird top layer and walls, the prints turn out perfectly fine, so it might be a slicer related issue. The printer is an Ender 3 pro with a bltouch sensor and upgraded marlin board + octoprint.

Here are some pictures of the issue, and a screenshot of the slicer settings:

Any help is greatly appreciated :3

Caption: An image of the album cover from Guns and Roses for their album "Appetite for Destruction", which has been modified to replace the skulls of the band members with waifus. The image has a caption that says "So about a year ago, I woke up from a dream, drenched in sweat, with just one phrase being on my mind "guns and waifus". Today, i made the music cover a reality." End Caption

So this actually happened, and "guns and waifus" has been sitting dormant in my notes app until today.

I don't really listen to guns and roses, nor do i watch anime, so i hope i didn't offend anyone :3

Here's the picture without the caption:

Hi, my 3d printer psu fan gave up the ghost, and I wanted to replace it. It was pretty noisy, so I thought about upgrading from a 30mm to an 80mm fan. I am designing the top case with mounting holes, and want some input on where to place the new fan. The original placement is the box with the red color. The green and blue box are some options I thought of for the new fan placement. Would placing it over the busier part of the pcb yield lower temps, or is that a bad idea? Does placement even matter for psu fans? The new fan has higher airflow, but lower static pressure than the original one, and the plan is for it to always spin at a low rpm and occasionally speed up when the psu detects a high temperature. The original config runs it completely fanless until the psu reaches 50c and only then does it send voltage to the fan header.

Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y'all are having a great day :3
