My A1 mini when you look at the printer settings, on the first screen, under g-code flavor, says Marlin(legacy). It's not even Marlin 2. Plus it's locked so you can't even change it something like marlin 2 or klipper.
Bambu and Prusa both run Marlin. So there is no klipper to be had there. If you insist on klipper, you might want to check out the Qidi Tech Plus 4. It should tick all the boxes you are looking for. And Qidi says they are coming out with their own version of the AMS for the Plus 4 called the Qidi Box sometime this first quarter. Whether they hit that target date or not, I cannot say.
I haven't used an abacus in a very long time, but I haven't forgotten how to use one. I still have a slide rule that I can still use if I have to, (I come from a time before pocket calculators). I used to race the the younger kids in my classroom to see who could do simple math problems faster-- me and the slide rule or them and a calculator. And my rule in class was that there were no calculators. Well, using fingers was acceptable. Because I wanted you to get your hands dirty playing with the numbers. If you wanted a calculator for a test, I would offer you a slide rule.
As a working adult, you must be proficient will the tools your occupation has. And not just the tools you wish you have. If you are running servers in a Windows based environment, it doesn't do you any good to wish for Linux based servers. And you better be good with both Windows and Linux if the environment is mixed. And a professional doesn't complain about their tools, they just use the ones they have to accomplish the job at hand. Of course, if you have the money and power to do the choosing and purchasing of the tools you prefer and want, then by all means buy them. But I doubt that's the case for you.
"an enthusiastic emacs user" Well, there's your problem! (Sorry, I couldn't resist the poke)
To be serious, Windows and that mouse are just tools-- same as any Linux distro is. A means to an end. Nothing more. There is nothing to be miffed about when you need to use that tool. Be proficient with all your tools. And when you need to use a tool, don't be concerned about comparing it to the other tools. It diminishes you skills with that tool and and offers no gain to the solution.
I used to teach math in the local school. The kids had a great interest in 3D printing because I had a few fun items in my classroom that I had 3D printed. I decided to spend a couple of weeks teaching a bit of CAD through having the kids spend it designing a personalized key chain to print.
It took me 3 days of class time to teach them how to use a mouse.......They couldn't grasp the idea that a touch screen and CAD don't go together, you need that mouse to make it work. It quickly became apparent that things quickly became difficult for them if it doesn't have a touch screen.
And while some classes are always a bit better than others, there was always a noticeable number of them that struggled with using a mouse.
I love me some lions mane mushrooms. Lucky for me, I get them growing in my yard in large patches. And there are morel's and chicken of the woods in the surrounding forest.
Oh no, I haven't forgotten SuSe. But it's not an OG distro. It's based off of Red Hat. Though I thought it was always a better version of Mandrake than Mandrake ever was. (I wonder what TexStar is doing these days.......)
I've installed and used it several times over the years and thought it was a fine distro. I have never understood why it's not more to the forefront with it's rolling release. If you like RPM based distros, SuSe is one to check out for sure.
Kudos? She benefits financially from this little virtue signal.
First she's going to pick up some new fans that will buy her music, plus the publicity also has monetary value to her. And secondly, because she donated the proceeds of the sale of the car to NPR, she gets to write off the donation from her taxes to benefit financially yet again. Nor does she need to worry about someone vandalizing her property, which would cost her money to repair.
Just another profitable day for a person with a $70 million net worth.
Kind of sort of. It's seems to be OK for 2D CAM like routers or lasers. I wouldn't want to try even a barely complex multi axis part in a machining center.
Don't be a dick and ruin a stranger's things just because.
Still, those early adopters weren't the people making $45,000 a year. It's not like they can/could afford a new $60,000 car. Anybody buying a Tesla is solidly upper middle class. And often are DINO's politically. And they can live comfortably if they aren't too busy trying to maintain an image.
If you want to name them all, Red Hat, Debian, and Slackware where the OG popular distros that became the foundations of all the distros we have today. I ran them all back then.
Not being mean spirited, but I suspect NTI's lawyers looked at it and decided that the benchy wasn't worth trying to defend in court. That horse had left the barn long ago. And it will buy some good will for at least a little while.
Doctors are a scarce commodity. There ain't enough of them to go around. And it would be waste of resources to have them travel around to see anyone in their home. They are far more valuable in their clinical setting. As far a patients making "lifestyle" changes, they seldom do. Even though they know it means their death if they don't. Telling them to do that in their own homes won't make it happen either.
As an old a thankfully retired medic, I have had COPD patients that dialed 911 to get an ambulance because they were struggling to breathe. And they literally made me wait to have that one last cigarette before we loaded and transported because they couldn't smoke in the hospital. They were dead 10 months later. The list of people hell bent on dying I saw and tried to help is long and depressing.
This project is not for me either, but I will not criticize it nor those that want to build it. You could do that also at no effort or cost to yourself.
Sometimes it's not the end results that matters the most. But rather the journey it took to get there.
