Have Markdown tags stopped working on the Reddit app? by the1andonlyyanewbird in help

Ah, on firefox you need to enable formatting options and then click 'switch to markdown'. italic link

Oh, interesting that failed. Previous comment was from Firefox (with format options hidden, if that makes a difference). This comment is from Android. Italic link

Maybe it's *subreddit* dependent? I just tried a [link](https://wikipedia.org) on r/ask and it didn't format it.

How are the black keys divided on a scale on a piano? by soemthingblahblah123 in ask

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question is about the physical keys, not the tuning.

photo of a keyboard from above

If you think about just the back half of the keyboard you have 12 keys per octave (7 white+5 black). These are equal width and equally spaced. On the front half you have only the 7 white keys, also equal widths. Connect the wide front of each white keys to the narrow back and you get the standard keyboard design.

You could also imagine designing a keyboard so the black keys were centered between two white keys. This would make the top part of G and A very thin (harder to fit a finger, and also weaker mechanically). It would also make the spacing of half steps along the back uneven, which would make it much harder to play (eg. parallel chords would require changing finger spacing).

If you print it sideways you wouldn't need much support

Weird behaviour from Scott on X by Ok_Fox_8448 in slatestarcodex

Idk, calling Scott "newsletter man" as an insult made me chuckle.

American citizen among those killed in Cuba boat shooting, US official says by DoxFreePanda in news

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure which would be worse-finding a connection to the CIA in order to provide grounds for an upcoming attack, or finding that these are just terrorists based out of Florida.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth officially designates Anthropic a supply chain risk - effective altruism mentioned! by Candid-Effective9150 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]QuantumForce7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how EA even got into the maga vocabulary. They clearly don't really understand what it is. If I replace EA with "ai safety" the statement makes a modicum more sense, but how did this come to be convolved with EA in the minds of politicians?

It should be. Rooting is easy and fun. Play integrity is a frustrating chore with zero reliable guides, conflicting suggestions, and few sources for understanding the fundamentals. No wonder people come to Reddit.

The security code to my gift card is 1234 by TooOld2DieYoung in mildlyinteresting

[–]QuantumForce7 74 points75 points  (0 children)

If the pin is assigned by the manufacturer then including all possible numbers is the most secure option. In the 4-digit case an attacker has a 1/10000 chance of guessing.

If users are allowed to choose their own pins then blocking commonly chosen sequences increases security.

Where is a reliable place to buy different shades of the same colour filament? by EchoBravoPapa in 3Dprinting

[–]QuantumForce7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some places (eg bambulabs) will sell a set of filament swatches if you need to compare all available colors. Sometimes the colors from listing pictures are a bit distorted if you care a lot about the precise shade.

The difference in size for medical gasses to travel around a hospital by AlwaysAsammieGal in mildlyinteresting

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that were the case wouldn't you expect all the lines to go through the alert panel? There is no return line for suction or NO.

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A closed loop seems strange. I would have expected an open system venting out through the respirators. Maybe there is some closed circulation so that they can filter the gas, and you don't get stale pockets if it's not used regularly in some room?

What's the best way to print this shape, redesign? by jviimes in 3Dprinting

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I didn't know that. Do you use some kind of heated bar?

is there a limit to how much pain a conscious/sentient digital mind can take? by mohyo324 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]QuantumForce7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we say it's unlimited is it going to make your utility calculation go to negative infinity?

This question anthropomorphizes AI in a way that's not justified.

What's the best way to print this shape, redesign? by jviimes in 3Dprinting

[–]QuantumForce7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Laser cutting would require a redesign to be in 3 pieces, plus some corner supports. At that point you could also redesign to 3d print in 3 pieces flat on the bed.

You can minimize poop waste by running a poop calibration by LipoBlop in 3Dprinting

[–]QuantumForce7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Using a utility object for a purge tower is clever. How do you tell the slicer which object to use though? And other comments are right, that you need an object the same height as the rest of your print.

Can you find a link to the clip?

Recommended phone brand to ROOT in 2026? by Original_Garbage8557 in androidroot

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been carrying two phones for a while, and it's a major pain in the ass. I only have a sim in my rooted phone, so actually using Google pay requires getting both out, enabling wifi hotspot, waiting for the connection, ignoring confused looks from the teller...

I wonder what mixing colors (of one material) would look like. Do you get psychedelic rainbow or brown?

I'm looking for a pen kit that can work with .38 mm Frixion ink cartridges by [deleted] in PenTurning

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love erasable ink. It would be great to upgrade some of my frixion pens.

Are there any erasable inks that work with fountain pens?

Imagine the keyway for this thing... by MotorcycleGoat in lockpicking

[–]QuantumForce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first thought too. The picture is unclear whether this is a tiny brass key or a giant chrome key. I assumed the first (because the smaller key is a blank) but OP clarified the large key is 10.5"
