In 2022, when Pi4s were going for $150-200, I managed to get a 7th gen NUC for about $150. I was looking to start Home Assistant, so both were viable options, but even the Pi5’s coming close to $100 retail, spending 50% more gets you a lot more performance for a 7th gen intel i5/i7 mobile chip, 16gb of RAM and a 256GB NVME.

So one thing I’ve discovered is you can’t have ANY resistance on the spool when the printer is homing. If the filament goes taught as the extruder moves down, it thinks the nozzle moved up and thinks it has a homing error.

Intel or Mellanox are both pretty solid.

Used to live in NJ, he was also despised by his fellow GOP for welcoming Obama with a handshake after we got fucked up by Sandy.

He definitely hates the common people because he knows the common person hates him.

Just picked new appliances for our house. I wanted to look at induction but the ones that were within budget had some questionable reliability in the reviews. However we made sure we have the beefy outlet so we can upgrade as the price comes down. I miss cooking with gas but new electric stoves and some good pans are not that bad. It’ll hold us over until upgrade time… I hope.

They do that on their own. VMWare would blow up every deal we tried working with Dell, and our account reps told us everyone in Dell despised the VMWare account teams. The company that struggles to make a shit that doesn’t suck?

And that’s why we’re switching to OpenStack next year…

There’s a Black Ops 4…

Rosetta. But part of the CPU had x86 translation functions built in to help so not as useful here.

Can’t we do both? Leo is the godfather of makers, and is widely known across the world. Contemporaries would be great as well, though.

I did. It was a better setup than last year where the companies were smaller and they had the empty “artist/hobbyist” tables, but it was definitely more corporate this year as well.

Was just there yesterday… honestly. While there’s a lot of “RepRap” spirit, it was like 75% big company booths (PrintedSolid, Prusa, E3D, LDO, 3DGloop, Protopasta, Polymaker, Slice Engineering to name a few) this year. Which is cool, but it’s not the small little hacker space sort of vibe it started as.

I’d wager part of it was because of the outrage when they switched from the 30 pin was significant
