The Mozilla layoffs ... will get worse
I just saw a post complaining about the Mozilla layoffs.
I wanted to point out that the vast majority of their income (over 85% in 2022) is from having Google as the default search engine - Ironically, the anti monopoly lawsuit against Google will end this.
Expect things to get worse.
Please don't assume it was just a cruel choice.
😈😈 Finally an advantage to using rEFInd 😈😈
I've read the "learn more" bit now and I'm going to leave it switched on. (although I use uBlock anyway 😅)
I think this is a legitimate attempt to 'fix' the internet. It seems only very basic information on interactions with ads is recorded by the browser, and then it is anonymised. As an example, the advertiser should only receive counts of how many people bought a product after seeing a particular ad. I don't think they can see what webpage anyone in particular came from, but maybe they can see that: 11% percentage of visitors came from example.com/some-page
Presumably the anonymised data is only provided once the pool is fairly large and wouldn't show 100% of visitors came from cornhub when you only had one visitor 🤷♂️ Obviously websites will always see an IP address.
The idea is for this to substitute for traditional, more invasive, tracking. I think it may one day achieve that.
A warning though: I only just started reading about this.
Excuse me while I go and click that 'learn more' button...
I've had the same thing. I think orca's retraction test is just too 'easy'. I think the towers are too far apart.
I can see a bit about the solid state relay overheating with too much power, but that's not the bed. Have I missed something or have you possibly misread something yourself 🤪
I don't know how small you are thinking, but if it's V0 size, make sure you've seen the "crucible" on 3dprintersforants, it looks cool 😎
I don't think anyone has a v0.2 in this instance 😅 Thanks for going out of your way to answer my question, even though you can't 🤣
I'm wanting it because I realise I do a lot of very small parts and I often want to iterate on them quickly, so a fast bed heat would be quite nice. I currently always heat soak for bed meshes and such, but I haven't found it necessary for prints - they're usually not that big though 🤷♂️
Do you know where I can find that documentation on max heating?
Thank you 😁
That's extremely helpful, and I didn't even expect a reply after this time.
How many watts is the heater you are using?
I'm thinking of buying a used 0.2 and I wondered if it might be fun to change to an AC bed. I read the original v0 had one but some kits were using improper solid state relays so they changed it for safety 🧐
I certainly see you the chamber heat argument for ABS 💪
Why do bed slingers heat faster?
0.2 owners - Bed heat time?
0.2 owners, could you tell me how long your bed takes to heat from room temperature to 60 and 100°C please 😁
Disable resizing clip to fit inside the project's resolution?
Currently, if I add a clip which is taller than the project resolution, kdenlive will scale it down so it's all visible and leave black bars at the side. Is there an option so any extra is just trimmed off instead?
I'm sorry if this is something obvious and I haven't spotted it, I'm a complete novice 😅
----------------------------------------
Edit: I think I've found what I need. The transform effect, and then "adjust to original size".
This is all I need but please let me know if there is a way to make this the default for a project 😁
You can't trust what you can't see.
This was it! I had my 10-25% (not degrees 😅) overhang speed set not to slow down at all. I now have it set to 30mm/s and I have a perfect result. Thank you 👍😁
Sorry, I didn't follow that. Top layer of what? Not the actual top, top layer right?
You may actually be right even though I thought I had checked this. Orca's overhang speeds are based on overhang percentage and not angle, I previously just looked at the number and assumed it was degrees 🤦♂️I will match the speeds for all overhang percentage ranges and see if that solves it 🤞
Thanks. I'll experiment with temperatures first but I've got some different filament on the way too as it happens, so hopefully I'll manage to escape the problem one way or another 😁
It starts just underneath actually, but it still could be related 🤔 Maybe I need a test without numbers.
Any ideas what causes this in overhangs?
When I do an overhang test, I always have this problem at about 35°. Does anyone have a suggestion what could be causing it?
- Slicer: Orca
- Layer height: 0.2mm
- Infill: 0% (this has improved it a lot, I think the infill was causing bulging)
- Outer walls: 2
- Overhang speed: 10 or 20mm/s (both look the same)
Solution: I mistakenly thought overhang speed in Orca was based on overhang angle, it is percentage instead (which makes much more sense for different layer heights). My 10-25% overhang speed wasn't set to slow down and that must translate to about 35° at 0.2mm layer height. I now have it set to 30mm/s and it now looks great 👍 And sorry, I was wrong when I stated the overhang speed 😅
Laser printer lines across page 🤔
Can anyone suggest what causes these lines across the page?
Is a new toner cartridge likely to fix this?
Edit: Line separation is 62.5mm
Edit 2: Thank you to everyone who replied. I've ordered a new toner cartridge and will update this if that solves the problem 🫡
Final update: A new toner cartridge fixed it. It's now printing perfectly! Thank you.
Install Linux distros without grub??
I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time.
Is there some trick that can request grub not to install?
[What prompted me to ask was I tried KaOS yesterday, and during installation it asked what bootloader i wanted and included the option for 'none'.]
Gear selection problem
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I have just changed the clutch and now I am struggling to select gears even when the engine isn't running.
I don't think it's linkage related because it seems to be difficult to select gears just pulling directly on the arms that move the forks too. I don't think I've done anything that should have an effect on the inside of the gearbox, I've removed and refitted the drive shafts and changed the fluid.
Also can anyone confirm my thinking that the clutch and concentric slave cylinder shouldn't be a factor, since the problem exists when the engine isn't running?
Edit: Strangely, after leaving it overnight, gears are selecting perfectly again and I have absolutely no idea why. I didn't change anything 😕
I suppose that should be good news but without knowing what the problem was, I'm not very satisfied. Thank you to everyone for your help.
