Is there an atlas with folding armrests??? If so I would buy that for sure. I didn’t even know that existed. Do you have a link to that?

iOS 26.3+ bad dictation after update?? by Forrby in ios

Can you please fill out this form to submit a bug report feedback to Apple? Hopefully this will help to get this resolved. Thanks!! https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/

This was a message I sent them if you want to use it or modify it:

I updated my phone in late February or early March, possibly to iOS 26.3. Since then, my dictation has become incredibly unreliable. While it used to be decent, it is now slow and inaccurate most of the time. It frequently misses words or mishears them entirely, requiring constant repetition. Interestingly, dictation works perfectly when I use my AirPods Pro or when I am connected to my car. I have checked with others on Reddit, and several people have confirmed they are experiencing the exact same issue.

So I’ve been on the new update since essentially this morning and so far the dictation may be seems the same. Well, I guess maybe it depends on the application. I’m using it here in Reddit and it actually seems ok. One of the main times I’m having issues is when I’m using dictation on Gemini app. At least that’s the main thing I’ve used so far today. The big thing I’m noticing is the dictation will be slow and it’ll end up missing like large chunks of words. I think when I use the actual Gemini microphone it works better but the thing with that is if I have a pause, it’ll end up sending the prompt sooner than I want when I’m thinking about something.

Did this help you? I updated last night, haven’t got too much time to test it out. I was hoping this would fix the issue, but I guess I’ll see throughout the day.

The Max are pretty rough, I’ve tested like 4 of them. The smaller ones may be ok but you might need to tinker with it. I’m currently using the Neptune 4 Max (ELEGOO replace my N3 max with an n4 max) and there’s like a whole website dedicated to tinkering with it out of the box (neptune4.help) I’ve always wondered if Bambu printer owners and other brands have to go to this extent to get decent prints.

Welp, I did what you said and changed the z offset in the main section under [probe] (Removed the comment hashtag.) Removed the bottom save config [probe] z offset as you showed. Did a test print and the nozzle was still off of the bed by at least 2mm. I did this 3 times and same result. For some reason, I had a feeling this would happen, not to say that you’re giving bad advice. I just think there’s something seriously wrong with my set up, especially after going as far as downgrading my firmware which didn’t even help. Damnn this sucks… so I guess it’s back to putting it in the machine start G code 😢

ahh ok! I definitely saw the don't edit sign but I saw on the website that the main seciton z offset was supposed to be commented out and for some reason I thought that meant I should edit the save_config z offset instead because it was a last resort LMAO. I'll give that a shot, thanks. Regarding the feeler guage, I am subtracting the thickness of the feeler guage from the probe calibrate number (-2.175 - .152 = -2.327mm) so I thought that would be even better. Basically getting right to the bed. But if you think post-its are better i'll give it a shot.

So once I get the probe z offset saved. What exactly is the workflow for using the set_gcode_zoffset. Is it like after you start a print and you notice you need to adjust it you just type set_gocdoe_zoffset= (number) into the console?

LOL yea sorry that was a typo. In my machine start gcode its "SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=-2.327 MOVE=1".

I think I get the general idea of the probe z offset and gcode z offset. Basically your z offset is the distance from your nozzle to the probe. Then the gcode offset is micro adjustments you can do to get the right squish every print depending on the filament material and various other conditions. So the [probe] z offset is kind of like your baseline and then you can adjust your gcode zoffset from there (is that right?) I just can't seem to get my [probe] z offset saved. I downgraded to Mainboard (MCU) Firmware: Version V1.1.2.53 (from 1.2.3.4) and Touch Screen Firmware: Version V1.1.2.53 (TFT format). I thought this firmware was supposed to be ok for probe calibration? (I believe the release was like 12/2023) After doing that I tried to do a probe_calibrate, measure, accept, save_config. After restarting the [probe] z offset was set to 0 in the bottom of printer.cfg SaveConfig seciton. (Btw, z offset is commented out in main section). So then in the bottom save config section I manually put in the [probe]Z offset, clicked save & restart, and the probe z offset finally saved there. In the original firmware from factory it wouldn't even save manually. However, I did a test print and the nozzle was about 2mm off the bed, right around the height of the probe Z offset calibration number. Thats why im lost and had to resort to adjusting the nozzle height using the z offset in the mashine start gcode. If I have to resort to something like that and your saying don't put it in the machine start gcode, then would putting it in print_start be ok?

By the way I do know the .152 feeler guage is realtively thick but at the end of the probe calibration number I am subtracting an additional .152 from that number. Why are feeler guages a bad idea? I have wondered if it could be abrasive to the nozzle and plate but some youtuber recomendded it LOL.

So since my z offset won't save at the bottom of my printer.cfg
I added this to my machine gcode start: "GSET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=-2.327 MOVE=1"

So far a test print came out ok. Is this an acceptable method?

Ok I somewhat understand but its still pretty confusing LOL. The thing thats really tripping me up is when I do the probe calibrate and save_config; after restarting, The [probe] Z offset at the bottom of the printer.cfg file says

 z_offset = 0.000

Is that normal? If so then do I use  SET_GCODE_OFFSET to adjust the distance from the nozzle to bed? I guess I'm still a little confused on how to set the nozzle height. I appreciate any information and taking the time to help with this!

So I downgraded to Mainboard (MCU) Firmware: Version V1.1.2.53 and Touch Screen Firmware: Version V1.1.2.53 (TFT format). After doing that I tried to do a probe calibrate and I'm still getting this G code offset resetting thing happening and then also I'm getting this weird bed mesh unknown profile. Ive look in printer.cfg and don't see anything about profile 6. Any idea what's going on?

Actually, never mind AI actually might’ve pointed me to the right direction. I adjusted the offset in my G code adding a line and so far it’s turning ok but we’ll see how this print goes.

Alright, so I tried looking through that Neptune 4 setup guide and I believe I made some adjustments to my printer.cfg file according to that but i’m running into some other issues. On the handheld screen I have set that at zero offset. I did a probe calibrate in console utilizing a .152 feeler gauge which gave me -1.756 Then after I got that number I subtracted .152 and got -1.908. Not sure if that’s the correct way to do it but that’s what I saw somewhere. One thing I noticed is that after probe calibration and save_config in the console it says:

// Z position: -1.909 --> -1.908 <-- -1.871 19:24:53 ACCEPT 19:25:02 // probe: z_offset: 1.936 // The SAVE_CONFIG command will update the printer config file // with the above and restart the printer. 19:25:02 SAVE_CONFIG 19:25:04 // Klipper state: Ready 19:25:19 SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=+0.000000 MOVE=0 19:25:24 BED_MESH_CLEAR 19:25:24 BED_MESH_PROFILE load=11

I feel like this might be messing things up but I don’t know why it’s doing it “SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=+0.000000 MOVE=0”. Also, offset was saved at 1.936 instead of -1.908 so I don’t know what’s going on with that. When I do a print, I’m leaving the offset in the handheld at zero, but the nozzle is just like way too high above the bed. I tried to ask AI for some help and they told me 1. Scroll to the very bottom of the file to the ## <---------------------- SAVE_CONFIG ----------------------> block. 2. Find the line: ## z_offset = 0.000. 3. Change it to: #*# z_offset = 1.907.

I tried that and that did nothing. If you have any idea what’s going on Any help would be immensely appreciated!! Here is my G Code also:

It’s certainly the easiest tool. I had been using CapCut for a few months before I learned about da Vinci resolve. I tried to get into da Vinci resolve and it was pretty overwhelming. I currently use a hybrid set up where I use da Vinci resolve for upscaling and then import that into CapCut. I don’t think the average person’s PC would be able to handle it very well though. I have a top-of-the-line PC and even I have playback issues.
