I have a few Anker 313 wireless charging stands around the house. They work great with iPhones. Due to the design, they can't charge an AirPods case without an adapter to lift the case to the right spot. That is the purpose of this model. I don't have the old style non-Pro AirPods, but this will probably also work with that wireless charging case. It prints well with 10% infill PLA.

Pellet Stove Cleaning Brush (www.printables.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by nhgeek@beehaw.org to c/functionalprint@kbin.social

I own a pellet stove that has a heat exchanger with extra long cast iron “fingers” (see photo). This needs to be cleaned regularly. The challenge is, a standard brush attachment's bristles are too short to do this properly. This vacuum attachment solves that problem. It fits a Loveless ash vacuum but should also fit other ash vacuums as the hose size is pretty standard. Print this in PETG for strength.

The resulting print is designed to accept a length of bristles cut from a CNC dust shoe brush with 70 - 100mm bristles (choose whatever you need). One of those is enough to make several brushes. I used a small amount of urethane glue to attach the bristles (mist lightly with water first).

To the supreme court they go... I think we can predict the voting there down to the individual justice.

Cost of doing business. This is a rounding error somewhere.

This is not good. Thanks for highlighting this. I flagged this for my company’s enterprise risk management committee to consider and act upon.

Recent screenings of the movies "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have been marred by disruptive behavior from audience members. Incidents include individuals being naked in the theater, drunken outbursts, cellphone use, and exhibitionism. The trend of unruly behavior extends beyond movie theaters, with instances of disruptions at concerts, Broadway shows, and even on airplanes. Experts suggest that a combination of recent collective traumas, cellphone culture, and a desire for constant stimulation may be contributing factors. Movie theater policies and enforcement are being relied upon to address the issue, but some argue that disruptive behavior is becoming normalized in public spaces.

The final product is dried and harvested, with minimized water, land and energy use, Galy says.

That's why. Cotton is notoriously bad in all of those categories. To that I would add the most cotton grown commercially is paired with a lot of pesticides as well.

Washington Post: Americans waste $10 billion each year on name-brand ink. So we tested low-cost options including remanufactured cartridges, ink injection kits — and even making our own.

My advice: get a mono laser printer. Printing is handy but relatively infrequent for a lot of people these days. If that's your use case, mono laser is the way to go. Toner does not dry out or go bad.

Summer is here. Where are the fireflies?

As the far-right draws attention, swing district Republicans want leadership to know: They have a bloc of votes that are important, too.

This whole thing is a shame and I still am going through a morning period about it. Reddit will persist in some diminished state. I can only hope the quality communities and people move here, and that Lemmy rapidly improves (though it is very usable now). The trends so far are good. The value of social media lies in the user base.

Let this be a lesson to all who produce and manage content (that's us users and mods). Don't use platforms that are destined to monetize your data at your expense.

In familiar predicament for famously challenging client, multiple Florida lawyers decline to take Trump’s case, people familiar with the matter say.

I feel that. I posted about a Plex problem 2 years ago and the subsequent solution I worked out. Every once in a while I still get someone replying to that and thanking me.

We need to stop ignoring this and listen. They are announcing their intentions.

[-] nhgeek@beehaw.org 15 points 1 year ago

This will surely end well.

I really can't wait until we stop hearing about Trump.

Hey Privacy Community, all of the reddit craziness let me to discover Redact which really led me down a rabbit hole of deleting lots of old posts... everywhere.

Unsurprisingly, Facebook is a problem. Redact deleted lots of content for me, great, but I still have a lot of photos in my "Mobile Uploads" folder. It's not possible to delete this folder. Their Help pages say I should be be able to delete individual photos, but I promise you, that's not an option in my UI. Am I missing something? I'd appreciate any tips!

[-] nhgeek@beehaw.org 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm out. Redact is busy just now deleting everything under my account.
