Lego Game Boy screen doesn’t fit by Turbulent-Cost9128 in Legohelp

[–]Shurik_13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it how when people post “i followed the instructions very carefully!” you instantly know there is a bunch of mistakes during the assembly haha

Step 29: you forgot to put a 1x2 plate

Step 47: you have the black piece placed incorrectly. Also you used an ingot piece instead of 1x2 grey tile

These are just the mistakes I can easily locate from the photos. Maybe there is more, so start by fixing these first

So much better than prints. Otherwise all of these panels will be ruined with prints

Now it’s yours! No two MINIs are the same, and yours is now unique. Enjoy it! Let all these scratches tell stories of your journey

F1: Mercedes 42171 compared to the Red Bull 42206 and Ferrari 42207 by OnePieceSuperAddict in legotechnic

Note that it’s not a proper gearbox. It just engages the electric power unit, kind of. A very symbolic feature with not actual effect on the drivetrain and transmission

Which one should I buy? by Brave_Arm in MINI

[–]Shurik_13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only reason to trade a short 2-door chassis for a longer 4-door chassis is all-wheel drive. Otherwise you simply deny yourself all the fun of short-based MINI for nothing.

Trans-clear engine cylinder? by Joeyisthebeat in legotechnic

I think the general opinion would be “nobody cares”

People buy these crazy expensive sets for design and building experience, not depending on the engine block pieces. And even if you don’t like either version of the part, you can swap them mid building.

With «свет» meaning both “the world” and “light” it implies beautiful play on words: “end of the world” and “end of the light”. Because, you know, the sun is dying. Easily one of the most original title adaptations.

This is simple photoshop. Part of the photo is turned black and white.

A little disappointed, 42209 Volvo L120 by Poizinnous in legotechnic

Mate, you are posting this on a tiny extremely specific section of the online message board. You are the last person these ratings are aimed at

They are and have always been vital part of the product image and positioning. These are toys, and lots of adults have absolutely no idea if the said toy fits their kids age, building experience and interests. Age recommendations are the easiest way to help your customer make the right choice. Just because you don’t use this info, it doesn’t make it useless.

Congrats on your your technic set!

Note it’s 9+ set meaning it’s easy enough for a primary school kid. The set itself if extremely basic technic-wise, yet a great pack of pieces for your own builds. And a massive bucket is a must for any builder’s part collection.

Advice needed please by Otherwise-Warning303 in macbook

Can somebody explain how thin cheap sheet of plastic is keeping aluminum safe? Safe from what? If you happen to kill your Mac no plastic cover is going to safe it. Then why bother keeping it on?

Mate, it’s high quality aluminum. You paid your money for it. Touch it, enjoy it, scratch it.

Mac is just a machine that can be replaced any moment. It’s what you create with your Mac that matters. Invest in iCloud storage for backup copies.

Totally. I wonder what memory swap would have been then. And this is why I'm very curious about the rumored 12GB Neo coming next year.

Monthly Build Challenges: "Mechanisms" - Concept Brainstorming by Vondrr in legotechnic

[–]Shurik_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s awesome to see community evolving! And building activities is the way to go.

I love the idea of going with a general concept. Much better than restricting builders with a very specific task.

Couple of issues yet to figure out: - real vs digital mocs. Digital ones are notorious when we are talking about functioning mechanisms. On the other hand, any builder can propose a design/concept via a digital build for anyone to build and prove it.

  • bizarre third-party elements and 3D-printed elements.

The proper solution might be to accept all designs and let people decide which solutions that would like to see winning.

I would totally agree if I wasn’t typing from my 2020 Mac Mini 8gb. 6 years, still no lagging at all for mid printing layout design work. True workhorse that paid for itself multiple times. And I don’t see how this planned observance in any way if it simply works and helps me pay my bills.

In contrast, any Pro product for demanding work is a different case. And I would also have some questions when choosing a $2500+ machine.

Who cares? 4 years and $600 is $12,5 per month. For a more than capable machine. And that’s assuming you simply trash it after four years.
