I’m pretty good at making money tho. I’m even good at investing. But paying a simple bill requires 2 doses of Ritalin

Luckily my wife pays the bills in the house or I be a mess.

I didn’t know you could do that. I’m in Taiwan and I know Steam doesn’t let you make a purchase without a local credit card. So I imagine that’s the case for Japan.

Basically what Gabe said.

This was before emulators were a thing. It was super early days of modding.

So a few years ago I wanted to play a Japanese version of a rhythm game that isn’t available to purchase in the USA and decided to try my hand at modding my switch for this one game.

After(poorly) doing it, I wasn’t able to play that game AND Nintendo bricked me. All my games on my switch that I purchased were unable to download or play anymore.

So I went and set out to mod my switch correctly.

Now if I actually wanted to give Nintendo money, they won’t allow me to. So my only option from then on is to pirate.

They basically turned a potentially paying customer to a non paying customer.

I literally record every work conversation so I can go back to it when I zone out.

I even record my personal conversations. After Samsung added AI transcriptions, I have become a better person.

Invites all around! Remind me in 20 years.

This video made my dog bark. Lol.

Good. They banned it here in Taiwan because it is a psyops tool even if you run the modal locally.

I tried the smaller models and it’s not fine. It’s hard coded.

You misspelled “lies”. Or were you trying to type “psyops tool”??

Yes but your server can’t handle the biggest LLM.

Well, I probably have 1500 to spend, but want a 4 color AMS.

Hey brother. Preach! Building a Voron sounds fun. I would too if I’m interested in tinkering with a printer. But I’m more interested in tinkering with other projects.

Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttt?!?!?! Really? That sounds awesome.

In the past most of the cheaper printers didnt have bed levelers anyways. It’s always the paper method.

I installed 9x9 BLtouch for all my printers which helped a bunch, but when you’re printing 16 hours a day, the build up on the bed requires that I relevel the bed.

I really hope you’re right. It was pretty hell back then.

Even when diagnosed with medicine, I sometimes struggle to remember to eat it.

I used to run a small print farm during COVID. I learned to hate fixing my printers. I never want to worry about leveling my beds or account for print vibration or worry about bed buildup or even look at my printer outside of the standard maintenance. I just want to print. Lol.

The Anker looks interesting. I think if I was in the market for a Cartesian style printer, I would pay the 100 bucks more and pick up a Prusa MK4S instead.

Looks like the Creality K1 has lidar tech but it’s super loud and the quality is pretty bad compared to the X1c.

I hope someone picks up the slack and gives us a worthy alternative.

Tinkerer that hasn’t had a 3D printer for a few years now. Thought about going back in and buying a printer and the carbon x1 was on the top of my list. Previously I had creality XY printers.

Should I avoid Bambu now? The lidar and the click and print is what really draws me. I don’t want to be a tinkerer AND a printer engineer, but I also don’t support companies that mess with their customers like this.

Does anyone recommend another solution?
