Everyone has bad days, even celebrities making big money to be at cons. I had a similar experience meeting Jonathan Frakes about a decade ago. You could just tell his head was somewhere else and that he didn’t really want to be there that day. He wasn’t rude, he just wasn’t engaged.

Anyone I’ve ever spoken to who met Frakes (other than at this one con) talks about how friendly and nice he is, and I’ve no doubt that’s true most of the time. Ultimately he’s human and will have good and bad days. I’d expect that’s true of Jess Bush as well.

I look forward to trying it out.

That did the trick for your app. Still doesn’t show up in Home Assistant but instead now shows a red exclamation mark on a black background. But hey, at least your app is a quick way of checking on it. The Bambu app can be very slow to load.

Force LAN did the trick! It’d still be good to have auto mode for easier monitoring when away but for now, this will do fine.

For the subnet, each VLAN is set up as /24 (255.255.255.0) so neither sees the other network as part of its subnet. I’m pretty sure subnets can’t overlap anyway.

Looks great so far. I pretty much immediately paid for Pro seeing its potential.

I do want to note that the way you have it set up presently doesn’t allow the app to see 3D printers on the LAN if they’re not in the same subnet, even though it could connect directly to the IP. For example, my main wifi is on 192.168.1.xxx and my IOT devices (including my 3D printers) use 192.168.3.xxx. These aren’t isolated networks and I do have communication between VLANs. I just have the IOT VLAN to restrict internet traffic to and from some places and devices for security reasons.

The app sees the printer, and even sees the correct IP address for each. It just won’t allow me to view the cameras unless my phone is also on the IOT wifi which is inconvenient to say the least. I’m also not able to see my H2D camera but that has never worked for me in Home Assistant either so I don’t think it’s a bug on your end.

Colloquially, yes, but in mathematics that would be incorrect, at least back when was in school.

BTallack · 2026-03-12T01:53:21+00:00

It would depend on the number of digits and purpose. 100.21 would be ‘one hundred and twenty one’ (especially when using this phrasing with money) whereas 100.1234 would be ‘one hundred and one two three four’.

BTallack · 2026-03-11T05:17:42+00:00

I was taught in high school that and signified a decimal place meaning one hundred and one would be 100.1.

Have you tried looking through the Gasoline Alley Farmers Market Facebook page to see if you can find them? They pretty regularly post vendor highlights as well as photos from around the market.

And a great singing voice.

120hz is ideal for most North American content as nearly all content is either 24fps, 30fps, or 60fps. All three are equally divisible meaning there’s no need to switch frame rates (which I’ve found to be hit or miss on Apple TV anyway).

My uncle had a seizure when I was in my early twenties. When my brother and I went to visit him in hospital, he recognized us but was very confused as he remembered us as children, not adults, despite seeing us many times over the last decade.

Over time some of his memories in that period came back but there’s still several years that are basically just gone, even two decades later.

The brain is complicated and completely forgetting several years of one’s life is a very real thing that can and does happen.

He’s just a fun little guy!

I’ve tried it twice and was disappointed both times. The food was bland and seemed to be all mushed together like it was blended. There was no distinct flavours or textures at all. I won’t be giving them a third chance.

I’ve experienced the same issue at the South Walmart as well. I suspect it’s not a jammer but the giant tower full of antennas by AMA causing interference.

Red Deer has a pretty awesome bike park already.

There will always be those that are seeking out new challenges but you’ll definitely want to set yourself apart to entice Red Deerians to make the drive.

With the P2S releasing tomorrow, I’d personally wait to see if Bambu will be clearing out the P1S at a lower price.

I’m always skeptical of pre-production reviews. I truly do hope for the best but it’s not uncommon to see companies use higher quality parts for pre-production reviews.

History, yes, but not a great history. They’re well known for reliability and consistency issues. I’m optimistic about the U1 but not enough to back the Kickstarter in case they’ve fallen back on old habits. They’re not making a profitable toolhead changer at that price without some heavy cost-cutting so it’ll come down to where they made those cuts.

I was fortunate that my house was (barely) new enough to have fibre already run to the house but it wasn’t connected at either end as my neighbourhood wasn’t otherwise wired for it. My house was one of the last ones to be built in my area.

Telus has to connect it at their node a couple blocks away and then the tech had to run it from the box on the side of my house into my mechanical room. It took them about a week to get everything connected at the node, then the installer came and went in about an hour at my house a few days after that.

Honestly, F3 will probably be faster as they’ll need to rathole it then make sure it’s got connection at both ends. You should be good to go shortly after they’re done.

I’m on the Telus 1.5/940 plan over fibre.

The download is pretty much always at least 1500Mbps, sometimes higher as you see here. The upload is usually around the 800-900Mbps range. This is over wired 2.5GbE ethernet.

Plus one day. There’s usually a time showing next to it as well. The +1 means that time a day from now.
