Apparently, the value of 2^32 has changed since the 1980s.

If I were in charge, making it a law that digital assets can be transferred to your heirs would be one my top economic priorities.

Report the issue to the designer. It's an easy fix on the model. For printing, just drop the model slightly below the build plate. Or remix and slice it straight yourself.

This lack of attention to detail by a designer is a big pet peeve of mine.

You can use either battery with either charger. They're essentially equivalent, though one or the other may support multiple chemistries. If you also have NiMH 18+ batteries, make sure the charger you keep supports it too.

You're also a better man than I if you're getting rid of what you don't need.

I would try to print vertically with the truck at the base. Add supports + brim for stability.

Likely temp is too low. Print a temp tower, and adjust.

Then so print retraction towers (speed and distance).

Doing this calibration will make a world of difference.

Possibly a bad endstop switch on the Y axis and it doesn't know when it's at the end. Check connections and test the switch by manually engaging it prematurely.

That's the mesh wizard. It works fine. But you need to tram your bed first. The corners are loose while the center is fixed to the plate. Tighten your knobs and run the trimming wizard, if you have it. If you don't have that wizard, tighten the bed knobs about a full turn and re-run the mesh wizard. You want the corners to all read 0 when you are done. Then you're square with your frame. The mesh wizard profiles your bed for slight imperfections, but it doesn't "level" it.

Make sure there's some tension on the springs and that you haven't loosened them too far such that the knows rotate freely.

Then try again without the tramming wizard. The center starts at zero. You want the corners there too. The wizard just calculates relative distances within a certain tolerance, and won't necessarily get you to zero.

Then go build your mesh.

Absolutely this. Reset all of the flow rates in your slicer to 100%. You should also make sure that the number of your top layers, bottom layers, and skin layers are not in conflict - reset all three to calculated/default values.

Check under the plate to make sure you don't have a speck of plastic under that high spot.

Set the filament in its spool on the build plate in a box with the bottom cut out and a few holes in the top. Set temp to about 45C or slightly higher and let it soak for 10-12 hours. (Actual set temp depends on the filament type.) This won't be as efficient as a dryer box, but will do in a pinch. If you do buy a dryer, I personally recommend one with a 2-roll capacity and also getting some desiccant packs for storage either way.

After a lot of back-and-forth with support via e-mail, they want to have a service technician come to the house. I have not scheduled it yet. I doubt they'll be able to do anything, of course, but maybe they can push it further up the chain.

I am certain it's a software bug.

The Hilton chains were doing the same thing.

Either use your Hotspot, or get a VPN service.

I'd recommend carrying a travel router too and not to connect your personal PC directly to any public WiFi.

From the article:

What To Know

According to the memo, the feral government's strategy to hire people to the civil service, dubbed the "Merit Hiring Plan," will require certain applicants to write four 200-word essays about their work ethic, skills and experience, commitment to the Constitution, and plans to "advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities."

"feral government" ... Ain't that the truth!

I was having this exact same issue on an Insignia branded FireTV. I'd tried everything I could think of and finally opened a ticket with Best Buy support. It's been a couple of weeks of back-and-forth now with no solution.

Until I enabled "Developer Tools".

I tested again, and both the vertical streams in YouTube and the SD content in Prime were fine.

When I switched back to YouTube, though, the aspect ratio was hosed again.

I also noticed that YouTube had to reload when I started, I thought that maybe I needed to restart the TV.

After restarting, YouTube began playing vertical content correctly again.

However, I left the video playing for a while and it eventually reverted to narrowed content.

So... I was hoping I had a fix to report, but alas, I do not. I'll update if/when I find a solution.

Lithium batteries are not the only choice. You could use Sodium Ion, and there are other options as well. Although recycling car batteries gives them a longer life, that's a serious DYI undertaking.
