I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.

Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.

Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.

Just a note for those interested in the local play aspect of it like I was.

You don’t need to create an account to play the game locally.

You can just exit out of the first menu and play the scenarios that are available.

I was considering that, but was reluctant to do it without any advice since I don’t know enough about the Deck and how it works other than it runs on a variant of Arch.

After your comment I did try it and it worked.

Thank you!

Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.

Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.

It’s also cheap.

I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.

You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.

Ahh ok, that makes more sense. To be fair though, I rarely saw any Subarus when I lived down south, but once I moved out west they are pretty much all over. So it’s not beyond the realm of having different distributions of cars in different areas.

There are Mazda 5’s for sale near where I live in the US. Where do you live in the US that they aren’t available?

Looks like Asphalt 9 was already grabbed by someone.

It’s actually being pushed as “broken” for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.

I didn’t at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it’s likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.

Thank you for that.

It didn’t help but it definitely got me moving in the right direction. I remembered that I recently (yesterday) enabled the testing and kde-unstable repos in my system so I could install Plasma 6.1 to check it out. Prior to this change I had CM working properly but was having issues getting CSP to work. Well, I figured out a workaround to getting CSP to work (after this change) by just copying over my install directory from windows on top of the install in Linux. However since I had already updated to Plasma 6.1 it came with the new issue of the drop down menus.

I was using Wayland. Just swapped over to X11 and it’s working as intended. So something with Plasma 6.1 on Wayland is causing the issue.

So mostly a bunch of messing around with my system is probably what is causing the issue and for whatever reason disabling the testing and unstable repos isn’t allowing me to revert back to the previous version of Plasma. Not really sure why but that’s a totally different issue.

I really appreciate the time you took to give me such an in depth response.

KDE is fine. I’ve been using it for some time now and never really had any significant issues that weren’t caused from my own meddling.

I say that as someone that has been on and off using Linux variants for probably 20 years now.

I run my kids machine on pop os with KDE, auto login that opens steam in big picture mode. Haven’t had any issues at all.

You can put the pumps in maintenance mode. I did it on accident once looking for the mute button. I held down one of the buttons for like 10 seconds and the pump went into maintenance mode. Just leave it like that lol.

Edit: Scratch that. It worked for less than 24 hours and went back to not connecting again.

To answer my own question, I hadn’t updated the firmware on my printer as it has been working fine so I just didn’t see a need to.

Went ahead and updated just in case and voila it started working.

Looks like Bambu is locking that functionality down behind the firmware version. As I didn’t see any notes in the update log pertaining to the camera so that’s the only thing that comes to mind.

Have you checked out Medela, we used one of those a couple years back and there was no app involved. No data collection, just plug it in and go.

I actually went ahead and got a Sprite Neo and put it on the other day, installed Klipper after digging around for a printer.cfg for the Max Neo and finally finding one.

Now I’m just going through making sure everything is configured, levelled, and working properly as I have time.

I’ve actually been looking into that, need to finish this project I’m working on first but it’s definitely something I’m considering.

I would eventually like to go to direct drive and potentially add another extruder at some point so I can print in multiple colors and print models that require supports using a different filament like PVA.

Basically looking to overhaul it and give it a bit more functionality.

I already have a raspberry pi with octoprint on it and a camera with remote access so I can check on it from time to time or send prints to it without the need to bother with the SD card.

I will definitely look into the things you mentioned also. I’ve got aftermarket springs on it already.

This is interesting but the press is shifting as it’s pressing on the prints which tells me that the press itself isn’t even stable, so the conclusions are questionable at best.

This is probably just a use of different words to not sound repetitive.

Before anyone starts screaming at me. I’m not taking sides.

The whole thing is fucked and I don’t know enough about it all to form an educated opinion. Ethnic genocide does appear to be what’s happening with my limited knowledge and that is insane, but even in this day and age I am not surprised in the least. That’s as far as my opinion goes on the matter.
