It was surprisingly difficult to find, the majority of comments about 6.3 were people saying it was working great, but I guess most people don’t use ICC profiles for their monitors.

Not saying you’re wrong, but it could give a good view of what tasks people want to use AI for.

Intel NUC running Linux. Not the cheapest solution but can play anything and I have full control over it. At first I tried to find some kind of programmable remote but now we have a wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad.

Biggest downside is that the hardware quality is kind of questionable and the first two broke after 3 years + a few months, so we’re on our third now.

The most common reasons to buy Prusa that I have heard are their 24/7 support, warranty and wanting to support a European company. I’m not entirely up to date with Chinese manufacturers, so things could have changed, but at least in the past Fysetc, Blurolls and even Trianglelab seemed to be on par, or even exceeding, Prusa quality for printers and parts.

This is my wireguard docker setup:

Can reach the webuis from LAN, no other network configuration was necessary. 192.168.1.111 is the server’s LAN address. The other services are configured very similar to your qbittorrent, and don’t expose any ports. Can’t promise it’s 100% correct but it’s working for me.

I think it’s a bit unfortunate wording which makes it sound like the Vive was developed by HTC and Valve just adopted it. Valve did a lot of VR research, produced several headset prototypes, and invented key technologies like the Lighthouse tracking in the years before they announced their partnership with HTC. I’m sure HTC contributed regarding turning a prototype into a consumer product and mass producing it, but I think Valve could just as well have taken their VR tech to Samsung, Lenovo, or someone else and have them produce the Vive if they had been interested.

Do you know how to check for bowden gap, and how to hot tighten the hotend/nozzle in order to prevent it?

Hope you decided to buy neither of the two in the end, since Flashforge is also known for being anti-consumer and their shady business practices. Out of the two I’d actually go with Bambu Lab if I didn’t care about openness and modding, since their printers at least seem to have fairly good quality.

Found the blog post that I was thinking of, with a little more about Prusa’s relation with opene source. https://blog.prusa3d.com/the-state-of-open-source-in-3d-printing-in-2023_76659/

I admit this is speculation, but I got the impression that Prusa is moving away from open source because they’re salty about other companies cloning their products and selling them much cheaper than the “original” parts. Proprietary parts, patents, etc. is of course worse for the user than a fully open ecosystem, but he isn’t necessarily going full anti-consumer.

As long as they are talking about normal things and not playing D&D 😃

You have to specify which quantization you find acceptable, and which context size you require. I think the most affordable option to run large models locally is still getting multiple RTX3090 cards, and I guess you probably need 3 or 4 of those depending on quantization and context.
