Again, laptops with that chipset kind of already exist. Steam Deck uses a custom AMD APU, but it's really not that special. The point of the customization is to make it work well in that handheld form factor. If you're putting it in a laptop you might as well just use a more common (and more powerful) laptop chipset because you have more space.

But there are already a hundred laptops with similar specs that will run Linux.... There's not much reason for Valve to release a laptop.

We live in the weirdest timeline

Lots of guides on YouTube to do this: https://youtu.be/KQVQOq0Tpgo?si=sYUEz1CnBPQGQ6Ch

Basically, you need to use SSH to communicate with your Pi. That way you don't need a monitor.

OP disagrees

The SIM is just an identifier. There's nothing particularly special on a SIM card, that's why the switch to eSIM has happened so seamlessly. So, you're right; it's totally POSSIBLE that an eSIM could stick around if you delete. But it's also possible that your phone could save the info on a SIM card.

For the record, I don't think that's likely. Your phone's operating system (iPhone or Android) is built by a different company than the carriers that presumably want to track you. I doubt they're secretly colluding with carriers, because Apple and Google (especially Google) have enormous business models built around tracking you, and profiting off your data.

All of your mobile traffic goes through your carrier. Assume that none of it is private, unless you're taking privacy measures like a trusted VPN.

I don't see how an eSIM is any worse than a SIM.

There are plenty of PC laptops with drives that aren't easy to upgrade, it ain't just MacBooks anymore.

LOL that's not a bad way of explaining it. My reasoning is that I like CloudFlare, so I'll default to them, but if CF goes down I want DNS to continue working. I figure Google is one of the servers that's LEAST likely to go down.

I do CloudFlare first and Google as backup.

There are lots of resources for the different Ender 3 models online, its design is open source after all.

Looks like both of those say you need an M5x45 screw. That is, an M5 sized screw that's 45mm long: https://www.amazon.com/iExcell-Thread-Socket-Screws-Finish/dp/B08S7FLZ1D

And they're also both saying that each screw comes with a spring washer, to keep tension on the gantry: https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Stainless-Spring-Washers-Gasket/dp/B0152FRDFM/

But first, I would check the ends of the gantry arms to make sure the screws weren't just stuck in there for safekeeping.

EDIT: to be more specific, the BOTTOM of the gantry is held by M5x45, but the TOP of the gantry is M5x25.

Lmao what the hell kind of response is this? Looks like AI generated nonsense with spelling mistakes.

Either that or a small power surge happened. Or the battery was defective. There are multiple things that could blow that fuse, and having a blanket "blown fuse = voided warranty" policy is stupid.

Looks like Google has a relatively complete guide there. It sounds like they expect you to "own" your kid's account with their Family Link feature before adding the school account, not sure if that's required for this to work or not. But it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

That's pretty shitty. They're probably talking internally about the fuse as if it's some type of tamper seal. But fuses blow sometimes, they're literally sacrificial. So somebody has told their support techs that anyone with that fuse blown has tampered with their battery and they're just repeating that line to customers (some guilt of tampering, some innocent).

Or maybe you just got unlucky with a dumb support tech. If that's widespread, they deserve to get sued.

Lots of good advice in this thread, BUT I would set expectations with your family that you probably won't be able to find brand new textbooks. Books generally don't get uploaded unless it has been a few years since they was published. So check the publication date before you get your hopes up.

I'd agree with others, I don't think you need a custom "app", you just need to upgrade your spreadsheet skills. That's probably the easier path here.

Theoretically you could make your components variables and just point your sheets doing the calculations at those variables. So you just change value of your variable, and your sheet re-does the calculation.

The only reason I'd recommend doing something custom is if you're building a client-facing form. But even then, a simple Google Form that points at Google Sheets would work.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It's possible that this site you found is perfectly safe, but it's also very possible that it's a honeypot or they're serving up their cracks with a side of malware. I would recommend known torrent websites and reputable crack builders. Running a custom, unsigned .exe is already a risky activity, don't make it more dangerous.
