I still get flashbacks from when I had to use that in school instead of something like fusion 360

It's so funny to see how macbooks are either super durable, or die from the smallest dust particles. My dad's macbook fell down 3 flights of stairs, and embedded itself into the wood floor boards at the bottom floor. There's not even a scratch on it even though if fell from pretty high up.

And my mother's macbook dies every year because dust ends up in between the display cable which then punctures it when the lid is closed

I wouldn't say my hostnames are very creative, but they all have some kind of backstory.

Main desktop: POwOful
It's a pretty powerful desktop, so why not call it that :)

Laptop: LenOwO
Can you guess the laptop brand?

Server 1: Shitbox
It's my first server box I ever built, so it's underpowered and pretty shitty.

Server 2: Stowage
My proper server with actual data parity, and it's pretty powerful

Server 3: Jank
This one is another shitmix of hardware with random harddrives in raid 0. I am aware that they'll die at some point, and all of that data stored on it will be lost, so i use it as temporary storage whenever I need to copy something from one machine to another.

Robot vacuum: suckywucky
Yea....

Idk if it even fits in this community, but here we gooo




This stick of ram has been my emotional support stick of ram for almost a decade. It's traveled with me around the world, and been in my backpack through tough times.
Since it's so old and only 4GB, i can't really use it or sell it, which is why i turned it into a knife. It's surprisingly sharp, and short enough that the airlines in my country allow it in carry-on and checked luggage, so it can still be my travel companion.

Hey y'all, I've been having issues with gaps forming between the outer layers of the print walls, and I'm not sure how to fix that. I thought it might be because of a clogged extruder, but the issue didn't get fixed when I cleaned it. I tried adjusting the E-steps, but smaller values caused blobs of filament to form on the outer walls likely because lower values overextruded the filament. Apart from the weird top layer and walls, the prints turn out perfectly fine, so it might be a slicer related issue. The printer is an Ender 3 pro with a bltouch sensor and upgraded marlin board + octoprint.

Here are some pictures of the issue, and a screenshot of the slicer settings:

Any help is greatly appreciated :3

Caption: An image of the album cover from Guns and Roses for their album "Appetite for Destruction", which has been modified to replace the skulls of the band members with waifus. The image has a caption that says "So about a year ago, I woke up from a dream, drenched in sweat, with just one phrase being on my mind "guns and waifus". Today, i made the music cover a reality." End Caption

So this actually happened, and "guns and waifus" has been sitting dormant in my notes app until today.

I don't really listen to guns and roses, nor do i watch anime, so i hope i didn't offend anyone :3

Here's the picture without the caption:

Hi, my 3d printer psu fan gave up the ghost, and I wanted to replace it. It was pretty noisy, so I thought about upgrading from a 30mm to an 80mm fan. I am designing the top case with mounting holes, and want some input on where to place the new fan. The original placement is the box with the red color. The green and blue box are some options I thought of for the new fan placement. Would placing it over the busier part of the pcb yield lower temps, or is that a bad idea? Does placement even matter for psu fans? The new fan has higher airflow, but lower static pressure than the original one, and the plan is for it to always spin at a low rpm and occasionally speed up when the psu detects a high temperature. The original config runs it completely fanless until the psu reaches 50c and only then does it send voltage to the fan header.

Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y'all are having a great day :3
