  • I was just playing split screen multiplayer on PC a couple days ago. Not sure where you heard that PC didn't have it, if that's what you're implying. Seems to be working fine.

  • Yeah, it's a bit hard when you're dealing with industry standards. I'm provided CC through work so it's not really my choice, but it sounds like Affinity still isn't a 1:1 option. I've been interested in it so I'm glad to hear the other side of things. It's easy to go FOSS for most personal things, but not as much when it comes to doing business.

  • What seems to be the issue? If you got those mesh numbers using a probe, it just indicates that your bed is unlevel. You can home it, then disable the steppers to move the hotend around, and do the paper test. If you haven't leveled your bed before then you can google the paper bed-leveling test.

    I say this because it seems like your bed is slanted downwards on the bottom-left corner (and/or slanted upwards on the front right corner). No offense if you do know how to level your bed though, if it's some other sort of issue do let me know.

  • Yes, the PC automatically assigns drive letters. The windows drive will get a C (but you don't need to do anything). I'll just add that after cloning, you might need to temporarily disconnect the 250gb. Sometimes your PC might get confused if you have two copies of windows attached (the 250gb and the 1tb). You can fix this later on by plugging in the 250gb externally and wiping it.

    But yeah, you don't need to get hung up on drive letters, all that matters is that you have a hard drive with an OS like Windows for your computer to boot from. If you copy it over, and then start up your PC with the new copied drive attached, it should boot from it and that'll become the new C drive.

  • No, it shouldn't have the same the drive letter. It's sort of similar to how your computer assigns a new drive letter to each USB drive you plug in. Drive letters aren't permanent and are based on the order they're plugged in (except C, which is usually your operating system).

    Cloning is extremely easy to do on your own by the way. You can use something like Macrium Reflect Free Edition. Then you just open the program, click on the drive you want to copy, then click on the drive where you want the data to go. Just like if you were uploading files to google drive or something. Cloning just copies all of the files, drivers, operating system, other data, etc. It doesn't literally "clone" the drive (like the drive letter). Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help :)

  • Hahah that's what yik yak used to be! Unfortunately it did not go terribly well..

  • I've been using Firefox mobile for a few years now too, and the one thing I'll point out is that the addon store is a lot more limited than on PC -- unless you're using Firefox nightly or beta, which lets you use any. But for the average user that only needs ublock or noscript, etc. it's a perfect choice:)

  • Not the person you replied to, but the PNW (OR, WA, and BC Canada) has some fantastic tap water. Seriously the best.

  • Talklittle themself has said that it's actually because they were already working on a tildes app before the reddit API changed. Tildes was different enough from reddit that they felt comfortable investing the time. Then 3rd party apps got booted and everyone started moving over, and at that point it was easier to keep working on the same tildes app than to start anything new.

  • Glass is really hard to stick to. You've gotta get the z axis just right. I know it was working before but it happens. Don't give up but definitely take a break if you need. Highly recommend putting down some purple gluestick, it helps a ton. It isn't your fault if you've cleaned the bed, it's gonna take some patience. Maybe look into getting a PEI sheet if you don't have one? There happens to be a limited time deal on one your size (235x235mm, ender 3 v2 and aquila are the same) on amazon for $10: https://a.co/d/emfbtnc

    Not a referral link or anything, but I really recommend one. They're usually around $15-20. I haven't touched my glass bed since I got one. Other than that honestly dude just go back when you've got more patience and download a bed leveling test print, and keep tweaking.

  • This has so many lovely shades of blue ๐Ÿ’™

  • Don't matter how far you walk if you start pointed in the wrong direction. :p

  • You can try a few things. Add a brim to the part in your slicer. Look at your first layer to make sure the nozzle isn't too far (you can find pics online for this).

    And mostly importantly!! You might not believe this, but even if all of your settings are the same, you can get finger oils on the bed over time from grabbing prints. Wash the surface with soapy water and spray/wipe with rubbing alcohol between prints. Use a glue stick or hairspray if you're still having adhesion issues. Make sure that the bed is 60-70 and that the first layer of first few layers are slow. You want a good base, that will keep the part from detaching from the bed.

  • I'm ashamed to admit I do the same thing!! Both of those. Lol. If I'm putting out a bunch of boxes in the recycling I always worry people will think I've got valuables or something nice and target me. Also identity theft is no joke. It's annoying that credit card companies send so much semi-sensitive stuff via mail.

  • Check out the Positron! It's the most portable one I've seen. The guy behind it, Kralyn, been providing the plans to the community so you can make it yourself.

    Since he's released it to the public, it's possible that you might be able to find someone else selling them commercially rather than having to build it. The latest version is V3. It's so small it can fit into a filament box!

  • The book "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg has a lot of wisdom to offer this issue. The author moderated and helped to resolve political tensions between countries, for example. His work honestly changed how I view talking to others with opposing beliefs.

  • I remember seeing a video where somebody did that with their kids! https://youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8

    I thought it was hilarious. But you're totally right, in the comments everyone's talking about how they're programming class had that same thing :)

  • Me too. I keep forgetting that it's a thing. I just can't imagine going to a dinner party and talking to the other adults about one's career as an influencer..
