I’d say definitely. The first useful thing I printed was during the pandemic where all the paper towels you could get were those z fold ones you see in office building bathrooms. Suffice to say, most people don’t have a container at home for those types of paper towels, so I mocked one up that was like a home tissue box and printed it out. Saved myself 80+$ on making one instead of buying one on Amazon (also they’re all wall mounted and I didn’t want to do that)

Since then I’ve printed toilet paper roll holders, plant pots, catch all bowls, insulated drink holders, tie racks, jewelry racks and boxes, all manner of things I use almost every day, and I’ve learned about 3d modeling as a result (not really good yet but still) so win win.

Edit: I’d say at this point I’ve definitely printed more than how much the printer costed in terms of things I use. Printing mini figures and scenery for tabletop games alone has exceeded the cost it would have been to buy that stuff.

Yes I have an fdm and a resin printer, but they’ve both got a lot of good use and yes absolutely worth it.

TAKE THE LAND, THAT MUST BE TAKEN

Just in case you weren’t aware, that Futurama episode was loosely based on a real life dog that waited for his master at the train station every day for years after the humans death

They are too good for us and we don’t deserve them, but I’m glad we have them in our lives.

Came here to make a human steak joke but as usual, the community doesn’t disappoint.

Pretty much the worse “console” ever made. Any video on it will tell you all you need to know. I wouldn’t buy it for a penny today if someone offered.

The entry on Marijuana is absolutely wild.

This is something that some people read and genuinely believe whole. This is 10,000% propaganda. Just unbelievable.

The general public still doesn’t seem to grasp the current capabilities of AI. It’s still just mimicry. AI is a parrot that “learns” something and repeats it to the best of it’s ability, but it doesn’t understand the thing it learned. You can teach a bird to say “Polly want a cracker” but it doesn’t know what a cracker is, and while it does have wants like any other animal, it doesn’t know what “want a cracker” actually means.

ML models get a billion images of mushrooms and then “learn” what “mushroom” looks like, but even if the images of mushrooms are properly labeled poisonous and not poisonous, it doesn’t really know that in the same way humans do. And it gets even worse when the AI tries to make new things from those sets it’s trained off, which all of those certainly do. Making new mushrooms that don’t exist, how can it tell which one of these new fantasy mushrooms are poison and which ones aren’t? It can’t know, but it sure as hell can make it up.

Hell, most AI can’t even get text right.

Don’t trust AI for anything that isn’t hard coded math, or systems that reference and directly quote known good sources without doing any kind of creative embellishments.

I marked some games as private and they indeed do NOT show up on the other families users library. Seems to work like a charm!

You can mark a game as private and it won’t show to the other family members. I verified this just now after signing up for the beta and setting up an account for my spouse. The games I marked private don’t show up on their families library.

Even the original LCD deck was easily eligible for this little list but the OLED went above and beyond in every way. I have a beefy PC for desktop gaming but I still prefer to play on the deck OLED because it’s just an amazing experience.

• Steam Deck OLED
• Battery powered lawn mower (eGo)

Edit: I am dumb, of course the source code is out there. I have visited this repository a thousand times but my monkey brain can’t remember what I ate for breakfast.

Everyone download the hell out of it and never let this die.

If it isn’t already open source, Yuzu team needs to get that shiz open source post-haste. Let’s get that code absolutely everywhere.

When that popular manga app Tachiyomi got legal bonked, the bajillion forks of it kept some semblance of the original going.

I know there’s money to be made and something like an emulator is considerably more complex than a book reading app/scraper, but it would at least give the project a chance of not dying forever.

If you send me this (I pm’ed ya) I will be happy to keep this torch aflame as well.

It does. I’ve tested it with both versions (I have OLED my brother has my old LCD) and I’ve tested it on two PCs and a Mac. Works great on all of them.

Just got this one and it’s TINY. I have the other one that the guy above posted and I needed a second one so I got this because sale. If you don’t need external SD card support then this one is great.

They are both great by the way but this one again, is super dupes portable.

Edit: yeah no Ethernet but I don’t need that when traveling because I’m usually not in a situation where there even is one available.

Thanks! I tried the workaround in that thread and so far so good
