The first thing I did after purchasing an MX Master a few years ago was block the update server, after realising it downloads update binaries over plain HTTP and tries to automatically run them on boot 🤡

Very nice mouse tbh, just such a shame the company and their software is toilet water

Thanks for sharing, provided some insight into how YT is doing this.

Seems very easy to bypass if they're just swapping in new TS HLS/DASH segments, the harder part will be identifying what segments are part of the video and what segments are ads sliced in

The community is ridiculously fast at submitting segments IME, especially on tech-oriented channels. Tubular even allows you to submit segments right from within the app which is really handy.

I feel the benefits of automatically detecting them (AI or otherwise) would be easier to realize at a larger scale - sounds really interesting though. Training such a thing probably wouldn't be too difficult seeing as we have a massive library of timestamps in Sponsorblock's database

They cover the mouse in soft touch plastic that turns to glue in 5 years

This is my pet peeve of modern electronics in general. Even my $3000 work-supplied Dell laptop is coated in this soft touch material that will inevitably turn into a gooey mess after a few years 🤦‍♂️

Also own a second-hand tablet computer that feels disgusting and sticky to hold because the soft touch coating has degraded so badly on it 😭

I use the Tubular fork as well, love it, however the dev has life things that slow down how fast fixes get merged in ☹️ in the meantime I either watch Nebula (or use Freetube on my HTPC as a backup, they tend to publish a fixed build ridiculously fast).

My fav Grayjay feature has to be "polycentric" comments on Nebula videos, pretty cool to discuss with other Nebula subscribers seeing as the official app has no social features

This is a recent thing caused by the changes YT has been making, at the moment we've been given multiple quick fixes while the community continues to investigate AFAIK

When the YT apps stopped working a few days ago, I just continued watching on Nebula until the apps were fixed. Only went back onto YT to read discussions in video comments

First time hearing of this! Thank you 😁

I was coming from Lighttpd which at the time had a very similar config syntax to Nginx. It was pretty much a no brainer, considering I wanted to shift to an automated Letsencrypt renewal process at the same time.

Sadly I wrote some python web services for CGI (not django/flask) that cannot be run anymore, since NGINX only supports FCGI, rather than just CGI as far as I can tell

Curious about this one too

The Grayjay app includes an entire development environment for plugins.

No idea why the keyboard app is "large". Could it be for support on obsolete Android devices where they've needed to re-implement missing APIs and features entirely themselves (like Firefox/Fennec and the Share menu)?

They could also be using completely different local AI tooling, or a custom trained model that has a higher space footprint compared to other similar apps. As always the true answer lies in the available code...

Edit: Grayjay's = The Grayjay

Makes me wonder if those are real VPSes, or if they're Virtuozzo/OpenVZ containers pretending to be a VPS

Retraction settings are probably your best bet then. Since the SV06 doesn't use a bowden extruder, there's much less things that could be the issue in your scenario thankfully

To be specific about my "workaround", it compensates for a non-flat build plate (ramped lift) and a cheap nozzle that filament often sticks to (wipe on retract). It took me two days of test prints and research to narrow those down though...

To get to the bottom of your issue quickly, you could try tuning your retraction using a retraction test, then possibly try recording the nozzle printing the same test at 60/120fps, to play it back in slow motion. This way you can see at what part of the nozzle movement the stringing starts, and change any relevant settings accordingly

Are you printing with PLA or PETG?

I dealt with my stringing issue by enabling "Wipe-on-retract", and "ramped lift", allowing any oozing material from the nozzle after retraction to get wiped off.

Dialed in slicer settings for PLA first since it's usually an easier material to print with, then changed a few things for PETG, like increasing the travel speed to break the stringing faster.

In desktop mode there is an easier way for the last part - click the battery icon in the taskbar, then click "temporarily don't sleep". Screen brightness can also be set in the same area

No quick solution for turning the screen off though AFAIK...

Edit: rephrasing post

I believe cable length is included in the emarker data too, probably useful in conjunction with PD PPS to identify whether the cable is damaged based on the resistance/voltage drop

This looks like one of those low cost netbooks from the time where "EPad" and "MID" tablets were a thing. There is an edition of Windows CE floating around for these - but WiFi will not work, neither the modem if this has one built in.

No idea about Linux - there is a kernel so you're technically half way there, but considering most of these had a slow single core ARM CPU and 256MB of RAM on a good day, practical use is limited IMO

ASMedia is the only controller IC manufacturer that can be trusted for these IME. They also have the best Linux support compared to the other options and support pass-through commands. These are commonly found in USB DAS enclosures, and a very small fraction of single disk SATA enclosures

Innostor controllers max out at SATA 2 and lock up when you issue pass-through commands (e.g. to read SMART data). These also return an incorrect serial number. These are commonly found in ultra cheap desktop hard drive docks, and 40pin IDE/44pin IDE/SATA to USB converters

JMicron controllers (not affiliated with the reputable Micron) should be avoided unless you know what you are doing... UASP is flaky, and there are hacky kernel boot time parameters required to get these working on Raspberry Pi boards. Unfortunately these are the most popular ones on the market due to very low cost

Probably not.

However, not all USB to SATA adapters support SMART, so even if there is a bad sector that gets remapped by the HDD on-the-fly (and thus does not show up in the software scan), you may not find out easily

This infographic is really helpful. Stuff like this makes me relieved I use the majority of services in a browser, rather than native apps
