I've run both Graphene and Lineage. I will be sticking with Graphene. Lineage isn't really drastically different than any other android experience in my opinion. Graphene is another animal. It includes privacy and security features that just aren't available elsewhere. It even offers a degree of protection when using Google apps, using a sort of neutered version of Google Play that has its spying features limited to the bare necessity to do its job.

I'm not even scratching the surface, and if there's a downside it's that it will take a little reading to understand all your new options. I've been running it for six months or so and I'm totally sold. Once you're used to it, it'll feel like how android should work.

Gotcha.

Actually, the best UI I've seen from smart TVs actually comes from some of the cheapest TVs: ones that come with Roku built in. You still have the spyware problem, and sometimes the hardware is pretty low end, but the UI is just like any Roku device.

Is the Chromecast spying less? I haven't looked into it, sp correct me if I'm wrong, but it just seems like you're trading to a different company invading your privacy.

It might be, just not my thing.

I'm pretty adept with my ff/rw buttons, but I already have the docker machine to run this...

The thing that gets me about the ads on BTB is that (based on the ads I get) IHeart apparently thinks of it as a "true crime" podcast and... I guess I can see that, but I've got zero interest in listening to podcasts about some weird small town murder or whatever.

🤔 The vpn I currently use doesn't have an Albania mirror, but it may be time to switch!

I think that's the unspoken implication and I'm instantly suspicious of the entire premise. The entire field of forensic science is filled to the brim with things described as "fingerprints" that are not nearly as unique or consistent as the field would have us believe.

I appreciate the core premise, that it's not necessarily for bullet wounds in the civilian world. I'm not qualified to judge the specific choices, but it certainly seems logical to me.

I can't speak to Verizon, but as far as AT&T is concerned it's just a phone. I put my SIM card in and turn it on.

Now that's just not true... someone has to load the van.

(I kid. I play both... and a few other things.)

OP: Nice Danelectro. I've got a Korean 59 NOS+ and while I have guitars worth ten times as much, it still pops up in the rotation regularly.

I'm with you. It was still cool enough to run the trimmer at noon. It's up to 21C (70F) now which is a little warmer than I prefer to work in, but still not overwhelming. We're not quite getting freezing temps at night anymore, so it's in the sweet spot: warm enough to plant tomatoes and peppers, cool enough to do the work without breaking a sweat!

"Frosty clover" sounds like something you could type into a search engine and discover some sort of improbable sex act...

Good picture though. I love sunny spring days where it's still getting cold at night and the day gets up into "shorts" weather.

 

Any thoughts on this. It seems pretty obvious as a development once you get into it and there doesn't seem to be much difference between the new patent and the expired patent. Layer adhesion is the big Achilles heel of 3D printing after all.

 

I recently got back into 3d Printing because it finally seemed like it had matured into a usable production method - where one could actually just make parts instead of spending all their time fiddling with the printer. That said, I realize there are still some benefits to some fiddling.

I'm wondering about other's process using the calibration prints in Orca. Do you go beyond maybe a temp tower, flow rate and pressure advance? Do you do those in any particular order? Bambu owners, do you bother on Bambu filament, or do you find their stock settings are pretty close (I haven't been bothering - most of it seems to do pretty well without).

I started thinking about this because I pulled out some OLD filament when I got my X1C, just to see if any of it was still usable. I dried it all thoroughly with a dehydrator, and have been pleasantly surprised. Much of it has been fine. The really old ABS has been fine as was the slightly newer ASA. The 5-year-old Hatchbox PLA was perfect, but a slightly newer generic PLA roll is terrible (it may have been bad when new). Old PETG has been hit and miss. I had all but given up on one roll, only to try tuning it, and suddenly got usable prints for the rest of the roll. Then the next roll clogged the nozzle on the pressure advance tower. I could just toss it all, but it was already paid for several years ago, so anything good that comes out of it is a win.
