Appreciate it, I'll take a look thanks!

Edit: Looks like it works after setting PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 as well, thanks again.

Getting washed out HDR on a 4070ti on 570.144 drivers for whatever reason, but gamescope w/ HDR seem to work perfectly with Proton 10 (Both the valve beta and now GE versions, it'd freeze when trying to enable HDR in the past), having HDR at all in games is a huge win so I'll take it.

Tried GoW Raganarok and Cyberpunk for reference

It's a right of passage, I switched all my hotends to fixed blocks, accidentally loosened the block once on the older style hotend after torquing correctly and enveloped the thing in petg, it kinda vitrified too or something in the heat, was like glass so no getting that off.

Generally, blobs off of your hotend, estop it and take a look, that's a huge tell for a leak.

Worth keeping a few spares around, at least for stuff like nozzles, blocks, heaters and probes.

For most people though yeah, Debian is rock solid, only went arch on my desktop for nvidia drivers (and HDR), archinstall really simplifies installing it.

Arch and Debian wikis are both amazing sources of information, highly recommend for any distro.

As far as I'm aware, a lot of the core utilities originate back some time ago, stuff like ls, CD, chmod/chown, cat, sed, awk etc.

Now the question is, is a piece of software that's been maintained or ported since the 70s considered pre 79 software?

Decky has a Powertools plugin, what I've been doing, can set per game profiles and restrict charge rates as well with that.

Nice, I've been doing through power tools, glad they're adding it in without that

Closed up shop

It may suck ass to work at these days so I hear, but they're far from closing up shop, they were talking about DRI for a long time and have announced building that capacity ~3 Years Ago. They're already well underway to going DRI+EAF, the steel that comes out of that process is apparently extremely clean metallurgically.

So yes, we already do this investment...

I bought the LCD when it was really steeply discounted, like nearly $280 CAD before taxes and duties for a new one. I bought my partner an oled one and the screen is strikingly different to me, size makes a difference and it's a lot more vibrant (+ HDR).

The LCD is a solid machine and a great value, I like my partner's screen and battery life but I don't know if it's worth spending twice the price. Regardless, both are really easy to service, way more comfortable than the switch is too.

They seem to buy a lot, bought Hashicorp (terraform) recently, redhat was like 6 years ago now.

People I know there though, they work in the consulting arm.

You can muffle the beeper pretty effectively with some tape, the old air fryer we had terrified one of the dogs because of the incessant beeping. My coffee scale by default beeps whenever you touch it, thankfully that's 100% mutable.

I also hate this.

I've been playing rogue trader on mine recently, I'd describe as playable, but it's night and day different going through moonlight (which yeah, obviously). Satisfactory was able to get 40-60 pretty reliably.

How bad is bg3 on it?

 

Experts say that Hudson's Bay had been in decline long before then, some tracing its issues back to its 2008 acquisition by the American investment firm NRDC Equity Partners, and saying that the company's new ownership prioritized its real estate over a cohesive retail strategy.

Emphasis mine.

 

I was joking about a Trudeau/Brazeau charity match against Trump/Musk the other day.

 

The intent, Carney said during an interview on Rosemary Barton Live, is to invest in Canada's economy "at a time when we absolutely have to build as a country."

The taxpayer dollars would "catalyze many multiples of private dollars" to build homes, energy infrastructure, AI systems and trade corridors — "all of which are fundamentally necessary if we are going to grow this economy, irrespective of how President Trump is feeling on one day or another," Carney said.

Carney also said a federal government led by him would balance its operational spending — such as government-run programs, federal transfers to provinces and territories and debt service charges — over the course of the next three years.

 

Sounds like it's focused on internal trade and global investment, I know 30 days isn't a long time, but maybe we can be better prepared, reducing our reliance on the yanks certainly seems to have public support so there's that.

 

Because mandatory minimums work to deter crime and totally haven't been struck down in the past or anything right?

20mg - 15 years, 40mg is life and Pierre's mentioned using the notwithstanding clause to pass stuff like this in the past.

 

Paper mentioned in article can be found here.

Annealing prints has been something I've wanting to do more of, probably with proper temperature control as my experience has has more waste than I'd like, mainly warping.

Paper claims some pretty dramatic improvements to interlayer strength, they're running filament through a bath before entering the extruder, not sure how accessible the entire thing would be in a hobbyist environment (using chloroform and specialised microwave equipment). Makes me wonder however if carbon fibre filaments would be able to be processed similarly, how well it'd perform with stuff like abs or nylon and if you could achieve that with consumer microwaves.

 

Quick question to the community, does anyone have some good tools to sculpt stls or step files?

Context, I'm working on some decorative keychains and have a vector image and text I want to add to the base object. I've used aolidworks for both in the past with alright results but I've switched over to freecad this year, haven't had a lot of luck adding in there, vector image is a tracing of a dog that I was provided, it's simplified but still has a lot of components.

I did look into blender but be honest I'm totally lost using it and have no clue what I'm doing coming from parametric modeling, I'm not an artist at all, my comfort zone is functional parts usually, but was approached by a friend. I did do some mockups in prusa/superslicer where I've added my image and text as negative volumes and merged into a single part. It works but it feels like a really hacky workaround (relevant XKCD) and would prefer to do it right. Any suggestions or resources would be appreciated!

If interested, here's the mockup that I've done a few test prints on, found I needed to change the line width of my vector a few times and made some features exaggerated so they'd come out more. I've (poorly) covered some identifying text on the back, left the rest as to get a feel for what I'm trying to do, did do some rough sanding on the below pictures. There's a pocket on the top edge that accepts a keyring, it's kinda chunky, about the size of a pog slammer or a thicker poker chip.

Just as an FYI because it's saved me grief in the past, both klipper and octoprint can be setup to exclude certain objects while printing. You need to setup your slicer to provide gcode that enables the feature, but it allows you to stop printing a bad object, can reduce wastage in the case where only one part has failed but the others are ok.

Prusa/Superslicer are what I have experience using it with, I used a preprocessing script to output compatable gcode but apparently there's a label objects option directly in both slicers, the klipper link below goes over enabling that feature.

AFAIK Octoprint needs a Plugin
Klipper has native support
