    You obviously need to ID the spools and store values for all, the different hub weights aren’t a big issue if the printer knows the length of its filament path, how much filament the spool started with, and how much filament has been consumed it can work out the hub weight

    Regularly changing filament fixes the problem of the load cell drifting, by allowing it to zero occasionally

    You could warn on low filament, or not enough for this print, but load cells aren’t accurate enough to be certain about the last few metres, along with errors from cosmetic trimmed before feeding, or some is damaged and cut off, so I would still use the normal no filament sensors for stopping

    Not saying it’s worth it compared to a software solution in the slicer

    I feel like I’m an average person, and making the OS look nice is very high on my wish list. My day 1 task on a new system is to copy over my backgrounds, set up themes and colours, set up the right level of transparency.

    I’m only half annoyed that I did all that on bazzite before I discovered I couldn’t stand an immutable system

    You can buy nearly any budget machine and load Linux off a USB stick, but most people just take whatever they have and their last windows action is to download a boot image and write it to a USB stick, then boot off the stick and tell it to use the whole disk

    Then use your backup system to restore your documents, pictures, web and mail configuration, and game settings and saves to your Linux machine

    If I want my GPU supported without having to use level not parameters to boot and without manually installed drivers, Mint isn’t going to work

    (I know because I couldn’t tolerate the restrictions of bazzite which was the default for my machine, so I installed Mint 22.1, it wouldn’t boot successfully. I added the nomodeset (noModeSet) kernel parameter at the boot menu to get the computer booted, then had to download and install the drivers)

    People on new high performance hardware might find that all difficult

  • psud@aussie.zonetoAndroid@lemdro.id•OnePlus will limit bootloader unlockingEnglish

    Google don’t restrict unlocking the boot loader. I just checked on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold and the OEM unlocking toggle is still there. The only barrier is enabling developer options by repeatedly tapping the build number in settings/about phone, just like it always has been

    You can only relock the bootloader with a signed OS image loaded

    Red hat (in '99). I chose it because it was included on the disc that came with an IT magazine I bought at the time

    I moved to Linux From Scratch a few years later, then to Debian. I have been on Debian based OSes since then, I like Mint at the moment

    Knoppix was my favourite recovery and rescue live CD
