Yes this.

Check out the don’t vacuum me site and pick a ‘hackable’ robot. Add Valetudo and you’re set.

Using a Roborock S6 here, started by home assistant when no one is home.

For the occasional jobs/accidents, we use a Hyundai cordless. Really robust, easy to clean and properly designed.

Wasn’t aware of the test (SuperSlicer user here), and found this.

The tower has multiple notches, each one corresponding to a different retraction length. By looking at the tower after printing, you can see how each retraction length affects the print quality.

So check your surface finish and select the retraction value with the best looks.

Ender. Happened back in the days with a 3v2, the stepper drivers on the original mainboard overheat, causing it to ‘miss’ steps.

Replaced the MB with an improved version, tuned the vRef and never had any issues again.

You might look into tuning the vRef for your machine.

That’s my understanding.

And I think a small fee to get out of the googlyclaws. Paying $100 once, to host immich for the family and supporting development is a no brainer to me.

But I understand not everyone has the resources or is willing to donate.

Asked several to write a c implementation of some basic networking stuff.

ChatGPT: needed to refine my input, got reasonable output. Complete answers, just compile and run.

Google: the output was just a few snippets, nothing to be used as-is.

MSFT: terrible output, and -no suprise here- the compiled code crashed with null pointer references etc. The worst answers ever.

For simple problems (programming low-level microcontrollers), my go to will be ChatGPT everytime.

Google should get it’s act together, Microsoft can exit the stage.

Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.

Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don’t compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.

Cars.

  • mechanical, no software bugs
  • physical buttons, no touch screen
  • everything just worked, no need to license the heating of your chair
  • freaking lane assist

You get it…
