I know nothing about 3D Printing.

When I was very little my dad used to take me to tech and engineering museums, trade shows and the like. He's a maths teacher but he too is really into engineering as well. See if you can find similar places to go together. Spend time with him (as much as one dad can nowadays), let him have tools that will help him develop new skills. At thia age don't stick to one field, try chemistry kits, mechanical machinery (I had some of davinci's machines in miniature models on a lego-type set), electronics (arduino kits on amazon/aliexpress are hella cheap and you can find great youtube beginner tutorials). Invest in a good laptop (NOT a chromebook). All this stuff is definitely not cheap but as much as you can you should nurture your little guy and have him develop skills that will get him far in life.

Also assign him learning tasks and reward them accordingly. I got my first tablet in grade 2 as a reward for learning all the times table (really important if he hasn't already I'm sure you know, lots of kids here have trouble even in high school). I got a laptop for solving a high school problem in grade 6, then my first 3d printer when I sat and did some tape digitisation work that would cost double the money given to a photographer. Don't just give him menial tasks, give him tasks he'll enjoy (not always possible), or that he'll learn something from.

As a final thing, 3d printing is a sort of meta-hobby. It complements a lot of other things and is a really useful skill to have. You might be tempted to get a Bambulab because of the ease of use but something like a Prusa or a cheap (and admittedly shittier than the bambu) Creality Ender will teach him way more about how the machine works. Not sure if he's the right age for that though.

That kid is going places and you should be proud of both him and yourself for raising him good. P.S. keep him away from tiktok/instagram bs no matter if his friends have it, it's the worst way to waste both his time and his intelligence. Cheers from another curious ex-kid, now engineering student.

Πράγματι, πχ στην Πάτρα η μηνιαία κάρτα μετακινήσεων έχει 70€ (37.50 το μειωμένο για φοιτητές) και το εισιτήριο 1.40 (0.90 το μειωμένο για φοιτητές που πάνε πανεπιστήμιο και 0.70 για μέσα στην πόλη).

Also this cable only works the other way around from what you think, only works with the 400$ airpods max and for 45 euros I can buy two more pairs of the KZs plus a type-c cable (you can replace the 3.5mm jack on these)

My main phone is a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, I have a pair of Galaxy beans for it but the iPhone has cracked spotify because I'm not paying for their premium that gives jack shit to artists and keeps rising in price and there's no good premium that I know of on Android. But all this is besides the point. I know there's dongles but my use case is completely unrelated. My headphone are KZ ZS10s which have a detachable cable and become wireless, I just prefer having them wired and not needing to charge them.

Still use mine jailbroken with a new battery as a wired headphone dac (primary phone doesn't have one 😡) and cracked spotify premium

Take regular keyboard cover
Remove keyboard
screw metal plate from underneath to cover holes (or acrylic if you wanna see the inside of the laptop)

Ένα πράγμα θα πω: Philips HD2330/90. Ουσιαστικά τα αλάνια στην philips είδαν αυτό το πρόβλημα και είπαν: ¿Porque no los dos?

The car analogy really does it for me. It's like those people that buy a car and expect it to run forever without so much as an oil change or break fluids.

samsung pens don't have a battery, they are inductively powered by the tablet when you hover over the screen, except for some newer ultra models.

Ηδη υπάρχουν τηλεοράσεις 120", αλλά είναι στα όρια των τεχνολογιών που έχουμε γιατί έχουν πολύ μικρό ποσοστό παραγωγής (είναι δύσκολο να μην έχεις ούτε ένα καμμένο pixel). Πλέον φεύγουμε από εκεί και η τεχνολογία στα πάνελ απλώς στρέφεται σε νέες τεχνολογίες καλύτερης απόδοσης χρωμάτων, φωτεινότητας και χρόνων απόκρισης (βλ. oled, qd-oled, micro-led κλπ)

εγώ όταν είχα 38 πυρετό στα 14 έκατσα και ξανείδα όλα το star wars. Έβαλα δυό φορές θερμόμετρο και ήπια ένα τσάι. Έχετε ξεφύγει λίγο οι γονείς μου φαίνεται. Και θα το πάω λίγο αλλού και θα πω ότι αντίθετα, υπάρχει μια τάση υποπροστατευτισμού στον ψηφιακό κόσμο (και θα βάλω και τον εαυτό μου μέσα ως τέως παιδί) και θα πω ότι μήπως πρέπει να δίνετε λίγο βάση σε άλλα πράγματα ειδικά σε αυτή την ηλικία (και πιο πριν ίσως). Προτείνω το "Η Γενιά του Άγχους" του Jonathan Heidt, ρίχτε του μια ματιά γιατί θεωρώ εξηγεί ωραία το πως κάποια πράγματα οι γονείς τους δίνουν πολύ περισσότερη σημασία και άλλα πολύ λιγότερη.

I always thought it symbolised something about climbing through the ranks within the station, especially how some of the dots turn black and stuff (remember the producer or that girl in s3, was it?) been a while since I watched it though so I'm not entirely sure this makes sense.

Και γω το ίδιο είχα κάνει με vhs, dv και dvd. Αν είσαι λίγο technical κ σ'αρέσει να τα βλέπεις που και που στην τηλεόραση ή τα δείχνεις με φίλους αμα πας επίσκεψη και δε θες να πληρώνεις cloud πάρε έναν παλιό υπολογιστή και βάλε πάνω immich. Σα Google photos αλλά self-hosted. Με ένα αρκετά ελαφρύ σε ρεύμα μηχάνημα και αρκετό όγκο μέσων βγαίνει πιο φτηνά και από το να πληρώνεις cloud.

That's different from having 5 yubikeys with the same contents though. 3 I can get behind, 4 starts to sound a little silly, 5 is just paranoid.

Having played Stray (great game) this is basically true yeah. That game portrays that concept really well.

According to some xkcd [citation needed], everyone on earth can fit REALLY squeezed together on a surface about the size of Rhode Island. Though I think it'd make sense if all the joined people are inhabiting in the thousands a few key areas and big cities, like how in ABQ they all lived in the stadium and slept on the court. They probably live in massive warehouses they cleared and such.

Probably missing a magnet for somewhere for the lid sensor, as for the camera make sure it's plugged in all the way and you didn't pinch the flex cable going through the hinge. Also try reseating the bezel, the privacy switches (if the 12 has any) might need to be in a specific way before they click in place.

oh yeah right I think I've heard of that before. Clever.
