I mean, I'm glad we're growing here, but...
  • Is this specifically about that one guy from last week a bunch of people blocked retouch straight away after his "I'm here from reddit" post?

    "It works for me"
  • What are some good games that don't run on linux? I just installed it on Saturday. And other than a couple tweaks to get Fallout 4 and 7 Days to Die to work right, I haven't found anything in my Steam library that doesn't work yet. Even some older stuff, like Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines. Just wondering what I'm going to miss out on.

  • Please go stand by your stairs.

    I wish that had an accurate view count, and upload date. But it's another pre-YouTube classic, and I'd rather link the upload to the creator's rather than the first re-upload somebody did.

    What smartphone do your use? What's the best phone you had owned?
  • I have a Galaxy S24 Plus. My three gripes with it are that it is too big, no headphone jack, and no SD card slot. Really, being too big is the worst. I miss smaller phones. Like the Galaxy S6. My favorite phone was probably either my ZTE Axon 7, which had fantastic front facing stereo speakers and a nice aluminum body, or my HTC Vivid with its horizontal dock.

    Fuck it, I couldn't take anymore. Hello Lemmy!
  • Well, welcome to Lemmy! I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of friends around here based on your comment history.. but I'm glad for you that you left that crap factory. I've been here for a little over a year now, no regrets.

    What are some strange SFW objects that can fit in the handle of a car door?
  • Once in their pocket, if they are some kind of madman that doesn't have a dedicated phone pocket and they have a phone with an aluminum frame, that's a recipe for disaster as well.

  • Fedora was actually the last version of Linux I used, back in high school on my old HP e-Vectra. Fedora Core 4. What made you pick Fedora? I'm going to be switching to Linux before Win 10 is end of life, and there are so many more options than there were in the early 2000's.

    What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100?
  • For an extra 20, you can put Gulikit hall effect joycon sticks in it. And for a few dollars more, there's a spot on the board to solder and mount a haptic feedback motor. Still under $100. You want to get extra crazy, you could fit a small usb wireless adapter inside it. Still trying to figure out how to get stereo sound. But at the point of all those mods, you could get an RG35XX.

  • I have a toddler that's starting to get into Disney, so I've been expanding my collection. Last week, I got the Masterpiece Lion King boxed set. I already have a lot (probably a dozen) Disney Home Video CLV discs, I think I'm going to try to get the CAV releases instead.

    I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.

    I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.

    Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!

    3DConnexion is going to have to pry my SpaceExplorer from my cold, dead fingers.

    I can't stand the SpaceMouse Pro. They ruined it! Why would they swap the nice tactile buttons for stupid gummy membrane buttons? And why coat the whole thing in nasty soft touch coating that is going to turn to goo? We peaked with the previous generation of space balls.

    Since I've been working from home though, it has gotten quite annoying to unplug my SpaceExplorer and take it back and forth to the office. It would be so nice to have one of those fancy new wireless ones. But that's not happening, since they ruined it.

    So, I added USB-C to mine, instead. Now, I'll just have a cable at the office, and a cable at home and just take the unit itself back and forth. I can even leave a USB-C to USB-C cord in my case, in case I need to use it with my laptop away from my docks! If anyone is interested, I can share the STL for the little breakout board mounting piece I made.

    I tried just about every suggestion here, but still couldn't get an airtight print. This is transparent PLA. I'm going to play with my speeds and overlap to try to get it clearer, but it was dimensionally accurate and completely sealed the first try.

    Don't look too carefully at the barrel, it's just a hollow test one. I was able to eyedropper fill and test the grip section with it, but the OD is wrong, and there's no real filling mechanism in it. That's phase 2 of this project!

    I believe we have 3 more to find. I especially look forward to the Red Baron one. They all have new crystals and straps.

    It started as a eBay Frankenwatch. Unfortunately, and obviously, the 6309 in it was useless. Also, it was completely the wrong type of crystal, just ground to fit. So, it got one of my spare 7S26's. It took a custom spacer to fit, and I had to grind a larger bevel on the rotor to fit it in the caseback. Hands and dial are Yobokies.

    Edit: also, it came with no gaskets, even on the crown. So, it got a whole new set.

    I'm pretty new to PETG, and have been really struggling with it compared to PLA. My latest print of this part is dimensionally accurate, but I need it to be air tight. It is very much not at the moment.

    I have a Flashforge Adventurer 3, so the hot end and nozzle are one interchangeable unit. My higher temp nozzle is 0.6mm. My 0.3mm is only capable of 240. My last print was 0.2mm layers, with the 0.6mm nozzle at 245C. I used 15% overlap on my walls, and in order to keep my nice dimensions I had my cooling fan on.

    Anybody have any advice on how to improve the seal? I'm tempted to try more overlap, with random start locations per layer. Do you think if I run it hotter I can get the layers a little thinner? Any advice would be appreciated.
