For a printer to be compliant, it mustn’t be possible to bypass the restrictions. So your printer might not even be legal if it allows you to flash custom firmware.
identify and reject print requests for firearms or illegal firearm parts with a high degree of reliability and cannot be overridden or otherwise defeated by a user with significant technical skill.
It’s also only the 50mm closest to X-axis 0 (left edge of bed I guess) that have significantly higher values, the rest of the bed is fairly even. Depending on what models OP has printed, they might not even be using this part of the print area.
I think the linked article drags it down. Even if you look past its AI slop vibes, it sounds like its target audience is computer illiterate people who don’t know what VR is, it doesn’t contain any useful information. And since you’re on Lemmy, there’s probably a fair number of people who dislike everything related to Facebook/Meta, and the article kind of reads like an ad for Metaverse. You could create a post without linking an URL if you want discussion about VR dating in general.
If you set the UI to “simple” most of them are hidden, but it’s the best slicer for people who want a lot of options IMO :) I think it does a good job at categorizing and organizing all the different options, so it’s relatively easy to find whatever you’re looking for.
I think it’s more of an art form than an exact science to get perfect calibration using the paper method. It gives a decent starting point for further manual adjustment though. Personally I prefer to put a lamp behind the printer, and then babystep the nozzle down until I can no longer see any gap between it and the bed, but that also usually requires a few minor adjustments afterwards.
Looks better, but IMO it looks like it’s still calibrated too close to the bed. In some places it looks like the material has been smushed into the surface, and in others it looks like ridges have formed between the lines where the nozzle has pushed excess material around. https://cdn.help.prusa3d.com/wp-content/uploads/First-Layer-Calibration-04.jpg
If it wasn’t open, they would be violating the licences of the FOSS projects it’s forked from. Their firmwares inherit GPLv3 from Marlin, and CrealityPrint inherits AGPLv3 from slic3r (via Orca Slicer, Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer).
Never used MS Planner, but the Kanban plugin does everything I need and I use it for my larger hobby programming projects. I was already using obsidian.md for other things so for me it was very convenient.
If you don’t find any hostable service, perhaps you could try Obsidian if its Kanban plugin works well in the mobile client. It’s closed source, but all data is stored in markdown files, and you could use a self-hosted git server for storage and synchronization between users.
https://github.com/resemble-ai/chatterbox is pretty good, and has both TTS and voice cloning. Main disadvantage for me was that even if the cloning gives a consistent voice, the generated samples can get random accents.
https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-TTS also seemed pretty promising, but I haven’t had time to test it yet.
These aliases for zsh I use all the time. It’s part of the prezto configuration framework.
setopt AUTO_CD # Auto changes to a directory without typing cd.
setopt AUTO_PUSHD # Push the old directory onto the stack on cd.
setopt PUSHD_IGNORE_DUPS # Do not store duplicates in the stack.
setopt PUSHD_SILENT # Do not print the directory stack after pushd or popd.
setopt PUSHD_TO_HOME # Push to home directory when no argument is given.
alias d='dirs -v'
for index ({1..9}) alias "$index"="cd +${index}"; unset index
Type d and enter to list all the directories you’ve recently been in, then type the number at the start of the line followed by enter to immediately cd there.
Not sure if latest bash can do it the same thing, but some years ago I wrote a script to implement it there too. IIRC it might’ve been the automatic removal of duplicates in dir history that was missing.
Current workplace: Windows computers with all development being done in Linux VMs. Management and a few younger devs are pushing for WSL, while several older devs are demanding Linux-only laptops.
Previous workplaces: One more with Windows + Linux VMs. One with Windows + X remote desktop to development servers. One with Linux PCs.
I have been exclusively applying for jobs that promised Linux development though.
I just wanted to test if it was viable to run larger MoE LLMs on CPU, e.g. Qwen3-next-80B-A3B… Even if I got acceptable generation speeds I’d probably get bored with it after a few hours, as with other local models. Had I got it for €700 it was pretty low value for money anyway, since my current RAM is enough for everything else I use the computer for. On the positive side, I can put that money towards a Steam Frame instead.
… I was thinking about buying a 96GB DDR5 kit from the local computer store a few weeks ago, but wasn’t sure it was actually worth €700. Checked again now and the exact same product costs €1500. I guess that settles it, 32GB will have to be enough for the next couple of years then.
IIRC their web site used to make it sound like it was a paid product but it was always possible to get it for free. Can’t remember the exact details, perhaps something similar to those “name your price” softwares that have a pre-filled recommended value but it’s also possible to choose €0? I checked what it looks like nowadays and the Pro version does come up first if you go to downloads, and then there’s a free Core version below it.
Not sure if sarcasm, or if Oculus Studio games can be played outside Meta’s ecosystem :/
If I may ask, how old are you roughly? I’ve noticed my sense of balance is changing with age, probably for the worse like everything else :D But I’m not sure if that’s good or bad for not getting VR sickess…
It excels at flight sims, driving games. If there were really good mech games for it then it would be good at that.
I can imagine it’s awesome for those kind of games, but I get too much motion sickness. And getting a motion sim rig would make it even more expensive, even if I had the space for one.
I don’t disagree with that part of the observation :) I also think it’s going to be too expensive for the average gamer :( The HTC Vive cost $800 and was released close to the GTX 1080 which cost $600. If high end VR headsets follow a similar price development as high end GPUs, it would cost just above $1.3k based on the RTX 5080’s release price of $1k. Anything less that this and it has become relatively cheaper, even though it would still be too expensive for most people. On the other hand, I was surprised by how little the Steam Deck cost, I thought it was also going to cost more than it did.
I think you missed the part where it said “[…] cannot be overridden or otherwise defeated by a user with significant technical skill.” I.e. either the printer will only allow flashing with signed firmware containing the detection algorithms, or it would have to be done by a separate chip which isn’t affected by flashing firmwares.
But also detecting firearms in gcode is a ridiculously complex task, and if companies actually try to comply they might opt for building the algorithms into their closed source slicer instead, and then only allowing their printer to print encrypted/signed gcode. Or they might do the analysis using some AI algorithm on their cloud servers, requiring an always on internet connection to print things. It might be tempting to think that nobody would buy a printer like that, but I think that enough people will do if they make it convenient and cheap enough.
