  • I hate myths, even ones with good intentions. Things like "Santa" are just teaching kids to be disappointed and that their parents are full of shit.

    As a side comment, what in the actual fuck is the tooth fairy?

    None of this stuff makes any sense to me, whatsoever.

  • You can get an electrified sounding kit if that is what you are really after. But yeah, the regular crap just sounds boring, so I wouldn't try it either.

  • Consoles made sense when they required specialized hardware. The $700 for a PS5 is probably better spent on a much better GPU for a PC, IMHO.

    It's cool if you like consoles! They still have a specific allure, so I get it.

  • Those are good printers. I put about 6 different resin types through them, and did get my optimal settings for fine detail because I was curious. It's just pointless for what I do, s'all.

    But yes, depending on what your goals are for printing, there is a fuck ton of room for speed improvements.

  • I have a pair of Mono 6ks's and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)

    I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.

    Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and "8k resin" may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.

    (The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)

  • It's generic for thicker resins. A higher lift and a short pause is normal so that resin can flow back under the print where it just separated.

    Just tune it down for your particular resins.

  • Not much. It's the space around the ship that moves, not the ship itself.

  • Sorry to fuck a joke up by being a nerd, but I don't think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10. The ship wouldn't have enough momentum to matter all that much.

    All you did was give your cargo to someone else, I think. I mean, I'll take it if you think it would help.

  • As far as my proof on link-boy is that his history kinda proves that he doesn't research shit. His go-to method seems to be find-link-vomit-link. There is no fucking way he would have time to dig into that stuff based on volume alone. Is that "proof"? No. It's a damn good assumption as I also could shit out a few dozen links after one Google search, too.

    If he does "do his research" and happens to have a list of links at the ready, that is just weird or it's someone with a motive other than showing how smart they are.

    By definition, you are correct on some points, btw. Dissent is dissent. However, dissent with bad information is just poor form. Endlessly shitposting like OP does is hardly quality dissent: OP just pushes narratives with cartoons and it reads like a fucking state media source. You can find the same style of shit all over right-wing media sources as well: Repeat the same basic points ad-nauseum.

    As far as link-boy is concerned, I suppose he can dissent all over the place as much as he wants as well. It's doesn't change his history of link-flooding.

    Also, "despite increasingly popular opinion" is supposed to convince me of something based on the rumored opinions of what? Your own social bubble? Really?

  • How the fuck you wrapped your last sentence in is beyond me, but anywho...

    Dissent is not spouting off Russian propaganda verbatim. You know, like quoting every single line vomited out by every Russian state media source. (OP)

    Dissent is also not searching for every internet based opinion piece with a flashy headline that aligns with a specific view. I could find a hundred more that align with my views, as an example. (re: link-boy in this thread.)

    We all should know that Russia invading Ukraine "because Nazis" is complete bullshit. If you didn't notice Russian media and government officials repeating that justification is just that: repeating things enough so people begin to believe it. (That is easy with state controlled media, btw.)

    What we have is a failed case of seeing the forest through the trees and what Russian Putin's goals have obviously been for years now: Rebuilding the USSR. (Nevermind that Crimea was not ethnic Russian until the local population just disappeared, somehow.)

    Dissent is actually showing, to the best of ones abilities, real cause for action. A person could actually read all of the source articles they post, compare figures and assemble something that might be worth something in an argument. This takes a fuck ton of work, actually. All sources need to be considered and not just select articles that are vomited out in these kinds of posts.

    What link-boy is doing is just flooding threads with data, regardless of it is correct or not. It's not proving any points and likely just posted to flash out headlines, which people notoriously take at face value.

    Then we need to loop back to the "reputable sources" bit. Nearly anyone can submit articles to these places with little review because "content". To properly use these articles, you have to dig. You need to understand the authors, the sources and the motivation. Again, link-boy is likely not doing this. If he is, it's still shitty referencing.

    Above all else, this conflict has proven that Russia is a paper tiger, mainly by showing their wonder-weapons are crap. This is not actually about the tech itself: It's shown how Russian government has overstated just about everything about their capabilities. Not only did the world start to believe their own propaganda, Russians drank their own cool aid and thought they could just roll Ukraine in a couple of days, with or without western interference.

    We don't need shit-memes or walls of old links to show how Russia has manipulated the narrative over the last few years. All we need to do is watch how poorly they are performing on the battlefield against a country a tenth their size. We can watch Russian media and how they continue to posture and threaten with nukes. (That is a stupid play, and they know it.)

    What's even funnier, is that Lukashenko actually dumped out a couple weeks ago that Ukraine was already "denazified". Oops. If that is actually "true", why hasn't this "special military operation" been called off? Why is Russia at a full wartime economy now for what is likely illegal to call a "war"?

    Fucking grow up, is my point. You want to get all script-flippy about "sPeAkiG diSsEnT" when the people "dissenting" don't know what the actual fuck they are posting with.

  • Hey. OP. ...

  • Eyyy! One mac down, one to go.

    It was just a shame to have this spare compute just sitting around and am glad it has avoided the recycling bin for at least another 4-5 years. (I don't like throwing electronics away. I'll even harvest components off of old stuff before it gets tossed, usually.)

  • Mor links plz.

    Edit: Geez. You really do like to find any link on the internets that justifies anything you want to believe, don't ya?

  • It reminds me of the the Russian justification for invading Ukraine. I found the pamphlet, actually.

  • It wouldn't be ml without a copy-pasta wall of links.

    The trick is to bog other users down who actually source and back-reference all those articles so that it will freeze up a comment thread.

  • OP is weird. He is just vomiting out old propaganda that has been debunked a hundred times over.

  • Also, someone doesn't know the history of Azov or the even the Vagner group.

  • Rock on, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

    From personal experience, these kinds of things are usually based on "security by obscurity" and is just a matter of pushing the right buttons in a specific order.

    Unless hardware fuses are physically blown, there is usually a chance. While possible, I don't think any laptop manufacturer would implement that functionality without an expensive, special order contract.

  • One is a model "A1989" and another is "A2159", both of which are at least from 2018.

    I believe I got them to a state where the recovery OS was re-installed? I am charging them now to get more information.

  • Yeah, personally, I have questions about the luhn check myself. (I am not in a state to research more this evening, unfortunately.)
