Ironically, Cura for some of the same reasons you list: I think everything derived from Slic3r is a dumpster fire of UX. Yes, I see Cura has started to lag behind. Yes, the visualization is nowhere near as smooth. And yes, every time I try Prusa Slicer/Orca Slicer I come running back to Cura. I will say that Orca seems the one to look for, as it’s trying to improve the situation of the aforementioned dumpster fire…

It’s not helping that the Orca profile for my printer must be straight up made by a competing company, because it makes my old Ender 3 look like the fastest thing on earth, while the Cura one is pretty much flawless.

Civ 4.

Imagine saying that you “hacked together in two weeks” (might’ve been a month, it’s been a while) the battle royale mode and made that free to play while you wait for the actual game to be completed.

Can we all appreciate how this is spam for moving home probably all based off the “home assistant” part of the community’s name? lol

I mean the Decky stuff, this being an easy option is good.

That’s better context, thanks. Not that I’d go through any effort to change it… but I see how it surely can be nagging.

Zero interest in big art mode, but the Proton stuff is actually nice! Same for the launch in desktop mode, even if I don’t use it.

No kidding. Back when the Deck was new, I played a fair amount of Cyberpunk on it and it was fiiiiine. Not good, not very good looking, but enjoyable you know? Minus the bloody text, as I had to guess what things did because a tiny font at a minuscule resolution on a small screen in red? Not exactly readable.

Seems interesting and I’m thankful for the help, but as it turns out there’s a blueprint (supposing it works).

Thanks! As luck has it, I seemingly bought stuff that does have a blueprint. Now to see how it works…

OSHA would agree, I think.

Oh, like rc crawlers inserts? Makes sense.

Internet has nothing to do with this. You could be in a submarine at the bottom of the Mariana’s trench with a Frame, a good enough computer and a random (decent…) WiFi router plugged into power only, and it’ll work. Your local network is not part of the internet.

Performance was fine even on the Oculus Go. Streaming performance is about the computer and quality of your wireless access point, but supposing both are fine, it’ll also be fine. Been doing it since the Oculus Go.

It’s a California specific GDPR kind of thing.

I need to try that again on my desktop, a while ago something broke hard and initially I had to disable AV1 and HEVC, but then it just decided that nah, we don’t do any of that stuff in this house. Then again, not SteamOS so….

It’s not “just WiFi”. It’s 6ghz WiFi 7, and the higher the frequency, the lower the range/obstacle penetration… In general, lower frequencies have longer range but have less capacity. The 5 GHz bands are absorbed to a greater degree by common building materials than the 2.4 GHz bands and usually give a shorter range. How much will that impact things? Don’t know, but honestly I don’t think the placement of the connector on your computer should be a problem :)

I think I’ve given a cursory look at those a year or two ago. The main things I remember are that they are SMALL, and at least one model lacked a heated bed. The heated bed helps immensely with adhesion (will your print stick or just get dislodged, failing the job?) and the size is a practical constraint. For example resin printers can do exceptional quality items, but they’re going to be small. Pick a measuring tape of any kind, go measure a thing you’d like to make like maybe a pen holder or whatever you actually think you will want to print. I had a Monoprice Mini Select and it was a 12cm base, good for a lot, small for a lot. That thing can do a 10cm base. A quick visualization is that you will not squeeze a phone cover in that space!

Lucky you, I’m stuck trying to get past the “yes, use my wallet credit” screen :(

It was a good plan to preload it yesterday… but plans and reality. You know.

Edit: 31 minutes later, it went in! With a warning about shipping times due to high volume of orders, but it went in.

Look, I have a Mac, I like the ecosystem but have a handful of Linux machines (including my laptop) so I’m, ahem, not the average Mac user. You go in the App Store and enjoy whatever games are there. Or hear that on Steam they’re less expensive and go through that… then discover that there’s a boatload of Mac games that simply won’t work on your OS because they are 32 bit and Apple dropped support for that in 2019 (meaning that from 2019 no Mac, even Intel ones, can run those games). Then, there’s the Crossover option: a paid product that will allow you to install Steam for Windows and any game compatible with that platform. It’ll use GPTK for compatibility and it’s a big supporter of WINE, so a purchase helps open source…

But: how likely do you think that an Apple user will go that far off the beaten path?
