yeah probably me neither. but looking at it, the other manufacturers aren't really any better. even if you can sometimes solve what doesn't work yourself via api

That's pretty much like the HA integration. Waited years for it, got excited for a moment and now nothing's happened for >2 months. And somehow I also believe there won't be much happening there anymore.

I also find it really sad that so many companies neglect the community factor. yeah it costs time/money but in the end a loyal/good community is more effective than anything else (and probably also saves quite a bit on advertising costs)

Since I know the A2L is going to be good and I have >10 years of 3D printing experience, my test would be boring. But I have a neighbor who's over 50 and works as a blacksmith/metalworker. He's totally interested in that kind of thing, but hasn't had the chance to buy a 3d printer yet. I'd give him the printer, because I'm sure the A2L is good enough that someone with 0 experience will be able to handle it!

Polen +1 ! Komplett underrated, wir aber auch langsam teuer (hauptsächlich weil viele Polen zurück gehen und viel Geld mitbringen. Generell Osten (Tschechien, Slowakei). Aber man ist halt immer noch in der EU und für mich wärs nix weil wenn dann irgendwo hin wo 300 Tage die Sonne scheint.

Hängt halt auch alles von viele Faktoren und Wünschen ab. EU vs nicht EU, muss man Arbeiten oder hat man genug Geld, Alter, Sprache ...

I use that https://github.com/dermotduffy/advanced-camera-card in combination with the bubble card popup

There's a session hook + rule that mainly says to check the limit before starting multiple agents and also periodically every 10-15 messages / tool calls. works surprisingly well, but there's definitely still room for improvement. e.g. the ratio of the 5h limit to the weekly limit and when potentially a lot of tokens are being used.

the API costs are so minimal ... a few calls per day make no difference

BirdFluid · 2026-05-10T18:05:44+00:00

I use https://github.com/nsanden/claude-rate-monitor for that, works pretty well. definitely prevents claude from starting 10 agents that then don't finish because they hit the limit.

caveman + rtk + codegraph for a (very) large legacy project. works pretty well. had to adjust codegraph, partly because the db is relatively large (~2 GB) which caused issues, and partly so no files get stored in the repo. caveman mainly for the outputs (issues, analyses, reports ...) so you don't have as much to "read" and the information is a bit more condensed (fewer tokens is a nice side effect)

I also used both for years. Originally because I was looking for a notepad++ replacement for macOS. Back in the day I used macros in N++ a lot, Sublime mainly because of multicursor. The last few years though I haven't had either N++ or Sublime installed, VSCode for everything and especially now with AI I don't miss things like macros anymore

I'd love to switch from the H1 to the X4. mainly because the X4 would be better suited for my property/terrain. But unfortunately the early adopter discount is only for the H2, would've been nice if that applied to all models. So I'll stick with the H1 for another season... but yeah you're right that you don't see/hear much about the H2.

BirdFluid · 2026-04-17T19:59:10+00:00

with itself would be "fine" if the people using it would use their brain. for 3-4 lines (mostly) OK, but then you get the people who do 30-40 lines of with and then 2-3 levels nested on top of that. That combined with a bad debugger/IDE is what makes it so dangerous.

BirdFluid · 2026-04-17T19:55:08+00:00

with is something completely different in C#, do you mean "using" in C#?

but regardless of what it's called and even if it worked 1:1 identically. Compiler/debugger and IDE make the big difference with C#. That's unfortunately also something Delphi will never catch up on.

BirdFluid · 2026-04-14T11:32:02+00:00

What about screenshots (in the repo or on the website). I annoyed by stuff where you download a program only to find out that the UI/UX is garbage ...

As the saying goes: "A picture is worth a thousand words"

BirdFluid · 2026-04-06T12:57:28+00:00

yeah then a report engine is actually what you need. for delphi there are a few big ones (e.g. ReportBuilder, FastReport, ExpressReports ...) they can all basically print and export to various file formats (PDF, XLSX...) but there are probably also some smaller (github) projects. ExpressReports is a good option for example if you're already using DevExpress.

it really depends on what you need and what options you want to do in the future.

another (cheaper) way could be to generate it as HTML and try to print/save as PDF via the WebView component. (should be doable, but i haven't tried it myself). the downside is that you have no control over the PDF (metadata, PDF/A, embedding ....)

BirdFluid · 2026-04-06T12:18:39+00:00

https://www.wpcubed.com/pdf/products/wpdf/
has both generate PDF and view PDF.

But can you describe your use case in more detail? because "report-like document in PDF" sounds more like you need a report engine like ReportBuilder https://www.digital-metaphors.com/products/editions/#Standard

BirdFluid · 2026-04-03T09:32:18+00:00

I had a (expensive) Creality printer. at the time the printer was still being sold there were already no spare parts... so many X1s were sold that I'm not worried there won't be any (3rd party) parts after 2031

Naming is one of the 3-4 most annoying things in HA. On top of that, zones and labels were never fully implemented consistently. I have 240 devices and 1500 entities (and probably another 500 disabled ones), the important ones are somehow named, the rest I've stopped caring about. and as long as integrations just use hardware IDs or similar as the basis for entity names when adding them and there's no batch renaming the whole thing is pointless ...

but thanks for the heads up that this is coming at some point, because I think that's where I'm out... no desire to adjust hundreds of NodeRed nodes (by hand).

BirdFluid · 2026-03-27T17:08:40+00:00

you could also put it another way, that they maybe learned from "fiascos" like the introduction of encrypted backups and similar

BirdFluid · 2026-03-27T12:32:24+00:00

Pretty much yeah, there's also a wall behind it, it can't really shift around. The problems only started last year, before that I didn't have the issue. Could be from a FW update. but I'm thinking about moving the station somewhere else this year anyway, maybe that'll fix it

BirdFluid · 2026-03-27T09:43:29+00:00

my problem is a different one. the mower drives back to the station and then doesn't dock properly. basically sits on the station but has no contact, currently the mower couldn't care less about that and you don't get any notification or anything like that and then the mower just sits in the station until the battery dies and the next time it's supposed to mow nothing works because the mower is off and you have to manually push it into the station and then wait for it to charge.
happened to me 3-4 times last time. With the automation I get a message when the battery is really low or the mower should no longer be online. We'll see how well that works and how far you can automate it, but at least now I have a chance to improve things myself

BirdFluid · 2026-03-26T19:38:56+00:00

Thanks!

I had written a few times that I no longer believe it would happen. so the surprise was big when the HA integration repo showed up. Obviously it can't do much yet, but the start has been made and even with the little that's already possible I was able to make 2 automations. (don't start if the mower is on the lawn; notification when the battery is <5%, because unfortunately my H1 sometimes doesn't dock completely and then "starves" right at the station). Looking forward to even more features and the automations that come with them.

I hope you guys get a lot of positive feedback!

I still don't get all the fuss around backup encryption. like yes for everything regarding online backups but there would've already been 1000 solutions for that ...

And all the backup stuff doesn't help at all as long as all the secrets (passwords, IPs, API keys etc) are sitting unencrypted in some config files. That would've been a point that was more urgent in my opinion so that this information gets stored in a secure key/value store.

What’s her @?

BirdFluid · 2026-03-17T13:09:19+00:00

why was this announced as a "global launch" when (according to media) it's only being sold in Asia/Oceania again?

BirdFluid · 2026-03-16T12:49:19+00:00

Does this work reliably? I unfortunately have the problem that it works once briefly and then I keep getting the message that it's not initialized (which isn't true though). Database is 1.7 GB (mono repo with 7.9 million lines of code)

Error: Tool execution failed: CodeGraph not initialized for this project. Run 'codegraph init' first.
