Lordran_Hollow,

Specifically a potion that dissolves only clothing.

Lordran_Hollow,

I used to do car electronics installs for a living. The amount of firearms I’d find was staggering.

Many times where we needed to get to/behind the glovebox, or remove the center console (which usually requires pulling every item being stored in it before removal), and we’d just find the handgun sitting right there. Had one where the client dropped off their vehicle and the gun was laying right on the floorboard.

Not firearm related, but I had a little old lady come in one time, wanted to get a radio done. Went to remove her center console so we could install an aftermarket USB in the factory USB location (adapter didn’t work with carplay too well) and I found a rusted ice pick in the center console. She was definitely ready to make someone’s day worse.

Lordran_Hollow,

Looks like the Pixels already handled that, when I check my Pixel 6 there’s no eSIM to be found on it under the network&internet page.

I’m at a loss. All of my other network features work, however.

Lordran_Hollow,

Yeah I honestly don’t know what took it so long. Maybe T-Mobile just felt like being slow?

Either way, I was really stoked when the pixels set up the carrier for me. TMobile doesn’t let you change/swap phones online and I really didn’t feel like calling and talking to someone.

Slow RCS activation aside, this was the easiest and most hassle free phone swap I’ve ever done.

Lordran_Hollow,

My Pixel 6 did this randomly a month or so ago. It’s definitely the screen when it does this. I took a screenshot and the colors were fine when the display started working properly again. So far mine has only done it the one time.

Lordran_Hollow,

Coming from a Pixel 5, the 6 was a letdown for me. I didn’t like how the size increased, and I despise the under screen fingerprint sensor, it’s very finicky; even if you’re using a compatible screen protector. To me it’s a major downgrade compared to the rear mounted fingerprint sensor on the previous pixels (sans 4).

I do like how I was able to get 256gb for it as I do need more storage, but I wish it had the option for 512gb.

It also sometimes gets really warm. And within the past year it’s had a couple of situations where I thought it died on me (screen unresponsive, doesn’t wake to power button, etc.), but it turned out to just be the phone having conniptions. Most recently I think debris has worked its way into the power button, as sometimes the phone becomes erratic, where it shuts the screen on/off sporadically.

Also, the modem fucking sucks on this thing, I have an unbridled hatred for it. My brother got a Pixel 7 and we share the same carrier and he reports he has no issues with his, so I’m guessing they’ve improved the modem on the 7 over the 6.

The Pixel 5 is still in my opinion the best Pixel Google ever made, it was honestly the perfect size and had the better fingerprint sensor. If they were to make the pixel 5 again but give it a newer processor and more storage, it would be a no brainer for me.

Lordran_Hollow,

Oof, that is major rough, they got shafted. Though at this point it’s kind of tradition for Google to do that with the EU pricing.

Lordran_Hollow,

I remember seeing rumors that they finally went with an ultrasonic fp sensor like Samsung uses, but nothing concrete yet.

I’m hoping the modem is better in the 8, I despise the modem in my 6 with an unyielding passion.

Lordran_Hollow,

I think that was the point for a lot of people. I certainly was one of them as well, he really revealed to the world he was a petty little shit.

Lordran_Hollow,

I really enjoy printing PETG as well. In fact for a while when I finally got my MK4 all I was printing in was PETG so I could whip up the parts for the lack enclosure. It’s so far been pretty forgiving to print with.

Plus I like hearing the pops come from the part when it separates itself from the build plate as it cools down.

Lordran_Hollow,

Is this your first printer you’ve ever had?

If so I’d suggest getting one that has auto bed leveling, not having to worry about that is a very nice feature.

Prusa is kind of the reigning king of “it just works,” but they tend to be expensive. I myself have a Prusa MK4, but I wouldn’t really recommend that for a beginner due to the price, only reason I got it for my first personal printer is we use two MK3’s at the lab I worked at and I wanted something similar as that’s what I’m used to.

If you do decide to go with Prusa I’d look at the Mini (I’ve heard though that the Mini will benefit if you print a custom brace for it). The MK3 also got a pretty decent price drop with the release of the MK4, so that’s something to consider as well.

But otherwise I think Creality released a couple of new printers that aren’t too bad on price.

Given that you specifically mentioned the X1C, are you trying to do multi-colored prints or just want something fast?

Lordran_Hollow, (edited )

They really are.

The MK3 is an absolute beast of a workhorse. We use two MK3s at the lab I work at. They collectively have 2000 hours of print time and they just now started exhibiting issues. One had a hotend fail, the other had a thermistor fail.

They’re damn good printers. I heard bad things about the MMU2, but I’m hopeful the MMU3 will be great, I have one on preorder.

I’d look into the nextruder upgrade for your MK3, it’s really nice. Only two thumbscrews to release the hot end out, and the LoveBoard makes servicing different components on the extruder a lot more painless.

Lordran_Hollow,

I’ve heard some inklings of that. I’ve heard diehard fans say that they specifically got Creality printers because they wanted to work on a 3d printer, not have one that just worked out of the box. Though the K1Max from Creality looks pretty neat.

I myself always preferred low maintenance things, but I like knowing how they work. So I got the kit for my MK4 and built it on one of my days off. Took about as long as I’d heard (8+ hours), but was worth it.

Haven’t heard of sovol, I’ll look into them though. Always good to know the other brands.

Lordran_Hollow,

My MK4 is definitely a lot quicker than the MK3s we use at my lab. It’s certainly not the fastest printer on the market, but I’ve been very happy with it so far.

And what’s nice about it (from your perspective), you can very easily disable the WiFi permanently on it, given that the WiFi card is externally mounted on the board chassis and held in place with like one screw. I installed mine and finally was able to set up the PrusaConnect feature on it. I’m usually not a fan of cloud services but I trust Prusa more than I trust Bambu.

Regardless, if you can get your job site to fork the cash over for one, I have nothing but great things to say about the MK4. The nextruder and its LoveBoard will make maintenance on the hot end worlds easier and more convenient than the MK3 (which wasn’t that bad to start with).

Lordran_Hollow,

Did it work???

Lordran_Hollow,

Yup, I’ve only had it for several days, but my MK4 kit I got “just worked” after I assembled it.

I did have to take a look at it yesterday as it was making a clicking/knocking noise. Turns out the applicator took they supply to pack the bearings with grease doesn’t work the best, had to repack the y-axis bearings, no more noise.

Hell, we use two MK3’s at the lab I work at, and they have about 2000 hours of print time between the two of them and they’re just now showing signs of wear (one of the printers had a hotend fail).

Between the fact that they’re open source, they’re damn near bulletproof, and that I worked with them already, getting my MK4 was a no-brainer.

Lordran_Hollow,

And what makes it more frustrating with T-Mobile is they don’t allow their customers to go online and swap a phone themselves. You HAVE to go in or call. My brother got a Pixel 7, and we couldn’t swap his 5 out for the 7 online.

I looked everywhere on that shitty website, the closest thing they had was an option “upgrade my phone” that just took you to their online store. Fuck TMobile, I hate them so much.

Lordran_Hollow,

Yeahhhh, I ordered a MK4 kit back on May 2nd, it JUST shipped out on Wednesday.

I’m excited. I got the prusa as we have two MK3’s at the lab I work at, so they’re what I’m familiar with. I’ve got all of the parts for the Ikea Lack enclosure on order, I’ll be making it as soon as I print up the parts.

1st layer color change is awesome for making signs (i.imgur.com)

Printed with two PETG filaments on a glass bed with hairspray. Printed the black lines (with a custom end code that doesn’t turns off motors) then printed the white over it in a separate gcode (also with custom start with no homing). It even allows me to go with an exact and cut off hairs and blobs before laying the white....

Lordran_Hollow,

We do this at the lab I work at! It’s really effective and super easy. My boss had me whip up a bunch of signs using this method to designate our different work stations.

Lordran_Hollow,

The Maverick is (comparatively) a small modern pickup. It’s the whole reason I chose it. I always wanted a truck, but I absolutely detested how big and inefficient they were, so I never bothered. I had a Maverick come in for a remote start last year and got to look at it and I quite liked it, ended up ordering one of my own that same year.

Lordran_Hollow,

That whole episode was gold.

Your post has me wanting to do a rewatch of the series. I should see if any of the streaming services I’m on has that series on there.

Hi guys, what 3D Printer do you recommend for a beginner?

I am looking to buy a 3D printer which will be used in my small business size of about 20 people. We sometimes need little parts made for holding littles pieces of equipment and after seeing a similar lab to us use 3D Printing to make little holders for their antennas, we are looking at buying one ourselves....

Lordran_Hollow,

I don’t own one myself (yet, I’ve got a MK4 on order), but I’d recommend Prusa as well.

The lab I work at has two filament printers and one resin. Both filament printer are Prusa printers (one MK3 and one MK3S). The two Prusas have a collective run-time of 2000 days of printing and only now are we really experiencing problems with one of them (need to order a new hot end).

They’re pretty bullet-proof from what I’ve seen so far, enough so that I ordered the MK4 and patiently waiting for that to eventually get shipped out.

Lordran_Hollow,

Not OP, but you tend to see these kinds of shenanigans from phones that are locked to carriers, the carriers are the ones who end up pushing the apps onto the phone during an update.

Sprint was pretty bad with their bloat ware back in the day, when I made the switch from my Sprint-locked S6 to my unlocked Pixel 1, I never had that problem again.

My mom and dad have unlocked S22’s and they don’t have these issues as far as I’m aware. I know if my dad did he would have complained about it.
