  • I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

    I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.






  • I have a pair of Mono 6ks’s and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)

    I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.

    Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and “8k resin” may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.

    (The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)

    It is partially the land sure, but don’t forget where the main natural gas reserves are in Ukraine. It’s not a coincidence that Russia has been specifically targeting Donbass for years now.

    The entire function of Crimea is to help form a land bridge to grab those resources.

    Edit: It’s obvious by the removed comments that Russian Nazis are in control of this sub. I have as much proof of that as that Kremlin shill does that we are replying to.

    And also, the US and Europe are having to fund the infrastructure repairs in Ukraine as well. You seem to not notice that Russia is specifically targeting civilian infrastructure before winter.

    Russia has clearly stated, multiple times, that Ukraine is basically a gateway into Poland. From that perspective, it makes perfect sense to suppress Putin’s efforts in Ukraine.

    Russia shouldn’t be invading countries period, actually.

    Estimated Russian army spending is between $85-$105 billion USD. (This has likely skyrocketed since that that estimate was taken as Russia has transitioned to a wartime economy.)

    Chinese? ~$212-$230 billion USD.

    Spending on military is better put in context of GDP, and actual spending is going to be very different than published or even estimated numbers. (It’s likely much more, is what I am implying.)

    I actually agree that this money is better spent on social welfare. It’s a stupid situation across the board and many countries are guilty of this disparity.

    For better or for worse, much of that money goes back into the overall economy of the country supplying the aid. Not all, but most. (This can get complicated due to the lifespan of specific types of munitions.)

    What I am saying is that there is a ton of blame to pass around and poking at one country or another is an agenda, not a solution.

    If you could force different speeds and different voltages, you can make some guesses as to what the cable might support.

    USB packets use CRC checks, so a bad checksum may indicate a speed or physical problem. (Besides stating the obvious, my point is that doing strict checks for each USB mode gives CRC more value.)

    I just looked over the source code for libusb (like I knew what I was looking for, or something) and it seems that some of the driver(?) components hook really deep into the kernel. There might be a way to test specific parts of any type of handshake (for dataflow or voltage negotiation) to isolate specific wires that are bad by the process of elimination.

    I think my point is that a top-down approach is likely possible, but it’s probabilistic.
