  • Ok, I spent the morning working on a spider planter because I need to split my spider plant into more pots. I just started the print, so we’ll see how it goes. I did some interesting things with this guy that I haven’t done before (that make it harder to print) but I think it’s going to be awesome!

    I wanted to do black and purple but my black spool was too low, so I am doing Brown and Green instead. I’ll post pictures assuming it doesn’t mess up during print.













  • Yeah gtav might struggle in Linux. ProtonDB shows its a tough config. Dual boot is probably your only option if that’s a deal breaker. Sharing my experience, I had a game i was playing that required windows and I was dual booting for a while, as well as a 3d slicer that the only profile for a printer I own is still windows. Everytime windows updated it seemed to have a good chance of wrecking the bootloader. After about the third time that happened I just stopped doing that, wiped windows and ran fedora.

    As of today, I have spent time trying to make that slicer profile work in Linux, got it most of the way there and got frustrated, so instead I repurposed an old laptop that gets powered on only for that one specific printer.

    Every game I play now runs on Linux.



  • Maybe you don’t realize but one of the major issues with modern cars is firmware compatibility. Porsche is super egregious about it, others do it. But basically let’s say you take a gearbox out of a specific car because it’s wrecked. You need a laptop from a dealer to pair the replacement. They not only will not sell you the software or connector, they have legal protections that say they don’t have to.
