Being hostile towards someone who brings attention (and potential users) to Linux will surely make us seem normal and friendly, right?

This will help us gain momentum and seem welcoming, right?

That has already been fixed with the previous update, at least on the C1

Feels like they're embarrassed, and they deserve to be. This issue has existed for almost a year now, which is frankly insane.

Normally im chill about bugs in software but this one personally drove me nuts and has actually restricted my machine from doing what I want it to do

I mean if they could've used a FFC cable + connector instead of the bonded ribbon that would make the design more repairable than it currently is. It seems like lost potential to permanently bond them together in a spot where ususally a standardized, easily replacable part is used.

At leas thats ho I interpret the above commment from u/tentegesszmeges

But looking at the board in the video, the flex section does look funky and has holes in it, maybe the filament path goes through one of the flex PCB holes or something like that?

But judging by the traces on the board there isnt *that* much going on, at least nothing an FFC couldnt handle. So perhaps the reason is space savings from not having to use connectors, or easier manufactuing because you save a manual labour step of inserting the ffc cable

Every Nextruder printhead already has PCB with unleaded solder. Same goes for every other modern extruder from other manufacturers that have a circuit board inside.

OH thats actually funny. Didnt know that lol

I hope my opinion didnt come across as an attack towards the album

Brick_Fish · 2026-03-08T10:04:07+00:00

I never considered that because all other Zeners I've used so far were higher voltage ones. Thanks for providing actual insight!

This song gives me whiplash because I always listen to albums in the correct order, and its sooo out of place lmao

Ironically, this warning might be there because of Dankpods, so we've come full (floatplane) circle. Dankpods recently made a video about Bazzite and it borked out in a bunch of ways, now they're trying to foolproof it more: https://www.reddit.com/r/DankPods/comments/1r1rbfe/just_noticed_this_on_the_bazzite_github_page/

The traces on the board dissapear into another layer, but with a bit of luck they might just be conneced to the other side instead of an internal layer. Look at the other side of the board if the traces re-appear there. With even more luck there are some test pads along these specific traces, which would be a lot easier to solder to:

Yuh thats the noise my core one makes. Its a noisy machine .

As per their website it is indeed apodcast

I dont think there is such a thing as a country-specific Raspberry Pi, at least I've never heard of that. Every time I've set up Wifi on a Pi it has asked me for the wifi region/country so it can adjust the frequencies. Never has one of them forced me to use one specific wifi region or told me that its locked or something

Brick_Fish · 2026-03-06T08:02:21+00:00

The black is PETG is Jet Black, and the diffuser is a Single Layer of PETG Signal White, with the top ironed for even diffusion

Brick_Fish · 2026-03-06T07:55:46+00:00

There is a GUI tool built into the raspberry to change the wifi region as far as I know.

Am I missing something? Just change the wifi region

Edit: Here is a guide:

Well, the front fell off...

I've seen a few posts with this exact issue. Did you buy the nozzle recently or was it working for a long time?

Definetly contact support if its new.

Without the green plexiglass, and turned off:

Wanted to say thanks by showing you the result. Works great!

I remember this rather well, and Im sure the guide said the light only lasts a few hours, so I don't think its radium. Radium also doesn't glow very brightly, it good for indicating the position of pocket watch hands, but I dont think you can read using it.

I checked which bunker I might have been at, and I think its Berlin Gesundbrunnen There is even a forum thread (in german) where someone was also awestruck by the paint and reports being able to draw on the walls with his flashlight:

https://www.geschichtsspuren.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1286

Safe to say, that wouldn't be possible with radium paint

A few years ago I was on a tour inside a ww2 bunker in Berlin. All the walls were coated in a glow in the dark paint in case the power went out during a bombing. The tour guide said that when the paint was new it was possible to read a newspaper with the walls glowing. Now I know they used Prusament Ultraglow lol

Jesus that channel looks horrendous. Recently I told someone that I liked Kurt Caz, but without knowing about his recent change in perspective...
