Aside from all else, if you have enough solar to consider never using the grid, you’ll want the grid to soak up your excess. My planned solar would be producing excess most winter days (in order to create enough power to charge the car any time of year)
That was supposed to be in regards to Australia? We don’t use coal, but boy do we mine it.
It’s hard for Australia to quit those coal export dollars. We hardly use the stuff ourselves, too expensive to maintain the furnaces compared to solar and wind.
I note that although it was the conservative side that hobbled the mineral resource rent tax, neither side restored that (nor the similar tax on liquid and gas fossil fuels)
My Prusa xl printed tpu perfectly first go on its flex preset.
I have had a PLA print holding my bike light working for about three years so I don’t think that’s a problem
I wouldn’t buy Bambu. Too much of a vertical company. I don’t believe they’re upgradable, I don’t believe they’re hackable, I don’t think they’ll work well with random third party filament
I like Prusa. They are upgradable, they are hackable, they work fine on any filament
I’d go for a Prusa printer, they’re highly maintainable and easy to upgrade. Definitely not Bambu - they’re a closed source shitty company
Nozzle change is easy on new Prusa printers, Prusa have a how to on their website
My Prusa XL 5 tool is printing like a champ. So far I have printed a 2 colour PLA print that took the whole print bed and a flexible (TPU) print for my bike
It hasn’t missed a trick
I love Prusa
I also have an ankermake printer which I bought hoping their colour system would happen, but it never did. I’m tempted to replace it with a Prusa mk4s with their working multiple material unit (MMU) which is already in version 3
And it works with an open source slicer
And their printers have a history of being upgradable
Any printer I get in the future will be a Prusa
What were the best settings on that video?
Feigned is such an uncommon word I’m not surprised to see it spelt like that. I’m all for fixing English spelling, it really is a mess of broken rules
In comparison level 5 self driving would replace 30% of the workforce, and 5% of workers being unemployed is the expected normal background rate
11.7% is hardly anything
Why do you use Lemmy, given the politics of its own source creator? Bit hypocritical.
So you won’t buy the most user maintainable and repairable laptop, that also comes with Linux and probably worth open source firmware in the not too distant future because you don’t like the politics of the owner of an open source project the company supports?
That really feels like cutting off your nose to spite your face

I’m pretty sure every distro lets you pay if you want to. Many beg you to
If you came to my place, I’d give you free beer - I’m a home brewer but not much of a drinker
Mint upgrades have been pretty smooth for my partner and myself
My thought (from before smartphones) was a computer you could mount on your belt or in a backpack, connected to a pocket sized screen that could unfold or unroll to become reasonable sized
At home you could plug it into your monitor, mouse, and keyboard
I think I imagined a touch UI
It would have run Linux, but it wasn’t intended to be a phone
Thinkpads are more expensive and far far less user serviceable
