Paradox

Wonder how many things they shit up

I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick

Course sometimes we'd stay in an Airbnb, and they'd have a Roku or Apple TV, where we'd just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that's beyond the point

I've heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever

I miss newsvine

And frankly, there's not really too much I want to do that the x1c can't presently do, so there's minimal need to go buy a big new expensive printer, or build one

Yeah I'm keeping eyes on the voron.

My next printer must have the following, else it's not much of an upgrade

• Multiple extruders or changeable tool heads
• 500mm^3 print volume
• Actively heated enclosure
• Lidar and auto tramming
• Ams like thing
• Full opensource
• Core xy. Not interested in a bed slinger

Apparently the h2d is crippled if you use offline mode. No cutter or laser support

This is what I was always afraid of. With the x1c they didn't really take away any hardware features if you put it offline and so the trade-off was acceptable. But locking you out of the physical hardware that you've purchased is a whole new story. Kind of like the dishwashers that require an app to do a rinse cycle.

For what the h2d costs you can get an awful lot of printer from a different brand

Fwiw the open source scene literally got started because of a printer

It's giving me serious pause when looking at things like the new Bambu printer

I really like my x1c, but I haven't upgraded it's firmware yet, and probably never will, because the local features are just too good. I know I can replace a lot of the bambu cloud features with octoanywhere, but I shouldn't have to

MacOS has had caffeinate forever, and it works great

I've been using one for years. It gets some use. Not a ton, but some. Most common use is as media keys or as the modifiers. Oh and escape in vim

Did they perhaps confuse Tesla solar installs with the cars?
