“But guys, gtfomp” - emacs

The only review I care/cared about is when someone actually uses the thing. I don’t care what they review. I care about all the projects they do later using a machine. When I was buying, everyone was defaulting to a Prusa. When everything else broke they used a MK3, so that is hat I got. Also, only people with Prusa’s seemed to be actually printing while only owning one printer. Everyone yapping about cheap printers had a half dozen of which only one or two ever worked at the same time. That is way more expensive than buying one machine.

Since then, Prusa has gone less and less open source and community driven. I still value true ownership without strings attached more than any other feature. To trust someone else’s proprietary scam and potential manipulation is to sell yourself to rent a product. Prusa is now selling a proprietary printer too. I would be very cautious about them going forward. The real open source community is with Voron and many projects supported by LDO kits.

But it doesn’t happen when plugged in and the thing is powered but no SD card? If that is the case, it is likely software… If you take out the SD card you could use a 4k7 resistor between 5v and the gate of the MOSFET to test triggering the FET and if it then turns off. A 4k7 resistor at 5v is just over 10mA and shouldn’t hurt anything.

5v logic triggered MOSFETs are tricky in practice when designing circuits. Back when I was getting stuff from AliEx, I got a bunch of overburden FETs that were supposed to be logic level gates and only around a quarter actually worked right. It is to be expected and they were like a penny each. Many work at slightly higher voltages of 6-7 volts though. They are often labeled like old part numbers but they don’t have the same specifications as the old parts. Things like this have become kinda ubiquitous and very hard to track down.

Removing the SD card shows whether there is a burned or shorted connection somewhere, but does not show if a gate is staying high after it is triggered. HCT logic is translating CMOS threshold voltages on the input to TTL levels at the output. Still while the window of where bit logic high and low are specified, the actual logic zero voltage is relatively high. You also have to remember that all chip manufacturers have an error rate distribution curve and send bad parts or parts that are right on the edge of acceptable. It is quite possible that you happened to get a FET with a low gate threshold voltage and a logic gate with abnormally high logic zero threshold. I would just tack on a through hole resistor between gate and source similar to how Fan 2 MOSFET control is configured and see if that solves the issue.

I’m not effectively able to help with the software, so this may still be a red herring, but I do not think removing the SD card effectively addresses the question of whether the gate is driven low correctly.

Is the FET gate floating? Maybe try adding a pull down/up resistor as a sanity check. I have no Duet experience. Based on what you are saying, I would troubleshoot that hardware first. Cut the trace and see if the gate signal is going off as expected… things like that.

Anything to distract and discredit the guy standing up for principals huh?

no one that cared had a voice or say in culture or society

HDMI is the proprietary monopoly scam. It is added to devices by the owning members of the scam. Display Port is the open source free equivalent standard that the educated consumer goes looking for.

Oh no, he was dumb, she was super into me then. He wasn’t consoling or anything but saying she was not pretty enough for me. I liked her for her depth and interests. He was a curiosity because he was into videography before YT, but had no depth beyond that one interest at the time. He had a misogynistic conquest like disposition that I do not share. At the time, this disposition was something I did not understand.

I really liked a girl, asked her out once when I was way too young. Had a friend tagging along. After, he said I could do better. The guy was an idiot, but the words had an impact on me at the time. I forget about her and moved on. I was super busy with a new business anyways.

Later, I started dating this other girl. Turns out she was best friends with the first. The three of us did everything together for years. I never did anything with the first, but found myself just as attached to both in a unique way. The first even dated a friend if mine for awhile. When I broke up with the second, me and the first dated for a short while, but I ended up moving out of state and things didn’t work out.

Post pandemic scamflation in action

No video. It has only happened a few times, but has brightened my morning.

I choose to abstract and never attack anyone, while you insult, and make assumptions about my disposition going as far as assigning them an ideology and framework that seems repugnant and baseless to me. I see and feel lots of projection and bias, but if causing a disabled person in social isolation harm makes you feel better, I’m glad you had a better day. The comments seem so randomly unrelated it feels like you are possibly a misinformation agent of some sort.

I’ve never talked to anyone in a library. Have you? Generally conversations are taboo in my experience. Maybe things have changed since I was able to go to one and relax.

The little shadow tiger has decided she does not like the cold tile floor in the kitchen on her little paw pads in the mornings. So she does this little hoppy move sideways into almost a gallop before the hind legs get into as much of a hurry as the front and nearly send her rolling out of the kitchen into the safe carpet of the living room

Don’t get disabled and have a place like this as your only outlet to connect with other humans. Anonymous and mob like negativity, especially from misunderstandings, can be hurtful when sharing some part of yourself or the only time you’ve said anything to anyone in a day or more from within a prison of loneliness you cannot escape.

Male loneliness is likely partially due to the same reason we are all here; this online outlet for social endorphins is why you were not building up a deficit over the last week and felt the motivation to finally call that person you were thinking about this whole time. That person was a passing thought, and the endorphins hit you might have received is ultimately less than you got from the austere but consistent dose you get from social engagement online.

The only problem is that you are not creating a meaningful personal social network in real life. When you really need such a network in practice, you face the reality of no one to turn to, or less depth and meaning to such connections. Real people are also complex and you must face the reality that no one fits your echo chamber bubble like a place like this. If you act like a down vote or stupid hot take comes across here to people in the real world… you find yourself back here with less options in the future.

I went from a 7k i7 to a 12k a year and a half back. It was a massive difference overall. I got an AI machine and run Linux with no gaming. I’m not sure when the internet hardware went to the multi threaded thing but that was huge by comparison. I can pull 10gb in just a few minutes at most when it took around an hour on the old machine, same internet connection too and the same rather old OpenWRT router.

With 64gb of DDR5, 20 logic threads, and a 16GB GPU, I can run much larger quantized LLMs and diffusion models than most people get to play with. If I cared about AI stuff, I would definitely get a 24gb+ GPU, as many logical cores as I could reasonably afford, and as much of the fastest memory I can fit. No joke, and no skin in the shill space. I just wish I could run Flux cooler and faster for diffusion. And I would love to try out Command R and other even larger models, but I’m limited by total processors. Llama.cpp will split LLM loads between the CPU and GPU automatically, so yeah I’m turning all of this up to 11 regularly. Skip on Intel 13k-14k and the latest as junk. 12k on Intel is the last decent reliable hardware.

Frazer Cain recommended Dr. Stone, an anime series that features the scientific method prominently in a scenario about rebuilding civilization. I haven’t watched it though. I don’t agree to the Netflix terms of service with stalkerware and exploitation.
