Right? I put in a complaint from the system feedback tool, but I don’t expect a response. Between the way Google is roping off Android and killing dependent open source OS’s, and my relative lack of money, I’m only seeing privacy options dwindle

Not only that, I got the newest android update yesterday and it automatically, without my consent, took my fingerprint and face

Goodhart’s Law in action

OP is the kind of person who shits in the punch bowl for attention

They found a way to create a high surface area capacitor made largely from abundant resources. Even a proof of concept is a discovery. We may not see it in practice in our lifetimes because science and industry take time, but that doesn’t diminish the value at all.

Why is this a false equivalence? I’m not saying this is the next Faraday. I’m comparing contemporaries. You can’t know what technologies will make what kind of difference in the future, but there’s no harm in being excited about our interested in them and their possibilities. I think my comparisons are fair, especially if you consider the technology of each contemporary era. What about Turing? He created a mechanical computational machine and extrapolated the future possibility of machines that could mimic human communication. That is absolutely an edge case assumption given the technology of the time and yet here we are with LLMs running rampant.

A couple of guys doing cool stuff in a lab is how progress is made. If we stopped people like Tesla, Newton, and Faraday because “candles are readily available and whale oil is a natural resource” we wouldn’t have any of the tech we take for granted today.

This discovery is super cool, like imagine its applications in walkable cities where the entire pedestrian pathway is also storing energy from wind and solar

I am apparently unhirable as an IT manager because I only have 8 years of experience and Sec+, and not 15 years and scrum and agile certs

Asus

Yeah I was passed the return date and a state away when I caught the issue

Sweet, thanks! I haven’t settled on a distro yet, but from what I’ve seen this is something Asus does to kneecap as much of the community as they can

Asus Q533M. I found a user patch on stack but it was for older models. Tried to update it myself and run a rebuild, but I might have missed a step since it errored out

Right? It’s some firmware level issue, but I haven’t looked deeper into it recently because I got frustrated with a couple failed patch attempts. I guess you have to include the laptop model explicitly or it doesn’t know to look for it

I screwed up so bad. I bought a laptop to trial different Linux distros and also because my old one is 12yo now and has its own problems. However, the manufacturer ONLY provides Windows support drivers, so the keyboard won’t work without a kernel level patch and I am not a kernel-patch level guy yet

👍

It’s state-controlled propaganda. If you find you tend to agree with the opinion and slant pieces, you should vary your sources to see what they’re not reporting.

Hell yeah, I knew my feed was missing something

This seems like a great place to plug Feynman’s talk Los Alamos From Below

And cayenne

Color and age definitely matter too. Each resin should also have a configuration table you can import into the slicer. I use Sirya and they offer data sheets and configs from their website. Not sure which other resin manufacturers do the same

What is your retraction distance? It almost looks like it’s not leaving the bed enough to allow the resin to flow. I might be wrong, it’s been a while since I messed with mine, but I had issues during setup with it not retracting enough. Maybe add some distance and slow that part down a tad
