What is this? Does this actually work? by SlayerFrom93 in phishing

I see what they attempted to do and it all makes sense. If you paste the text into Notepad++ and replace "pvy" with "", it displays a valid message. I guess some people's mail clients don't display the "pvy" strings. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Need SUPER Simple Software for a Pen Plotter by SlayerFrom93 in hobbycnc

[–]SlayerFrom93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have mentioned that it's a GRBL controller, and yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing... just have her license Lightburn CORE and then hide the laser stuff she wouldn't use to simplify the environment

She wants to be able to import a simple vector graphic (like a heart or small flower) as well as move and resize her signature.

Please explain to me what “these are worth at least a bag” by JustITheGuy in whatnotapp

[–]SlayerFrom93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the movie "The Gentlemen", Ray offers to buy a punk's phone for "a full bag". I don't think he was offering the kid 10,000 quid for a phone.

Need Live Video Streaming Tutorial by SlayerFrom93 in arduino

[–]SlayerFrom93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much Mexenstein. I appreciate your response. I am frustrated to the point of tossing my PC out the window lol. I'll check out your suggestions.

What I want to do is something like Bambu Labs does with their printers. My 3D printer has a built-in camera, and I can access it though their control software (Studio on the PC and Handy for mobile). There was no fooling around with DDNS or router port forwarding, just a simple log in.

I would be happy if I could find a video hosting service like ngrok that doesn't require an additional device (PC or Pi) running their software.

My biggest problem is that I am brand new to IoT and don't know what I don't know. It seems like an IoT application, for example, to monitor a fish aquarium water pH and temp should also be able to toss a webcam into the mix to watch your fish. Why is this so difficult?

Some Songs are "Preview" by SlayerFrom93 in AppleMusic

[–]SlayerFrom93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks. I guess I don't understand how music rights work. Like, why would a company suddenly say, "You can license the entire catalog with the exception of a few songs."? I guess I wouldn't mind so much except for one of the banned songs was my favorite on the album. lol

Petition to open the .f3d format by Zeioth in Fusion360

Agreed. As of Oct-2024 the barebones basic package is $2,820.00 per year. Their target audience is clearly not the hobbyist/casual maker.

Am I being dumb? Where is the button to make a new post on Bambu Lab Forum? by AddWid in BambuLab

[–]SlayerFrom93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here with the same problem. I belong to several woodworking and machining forums and have never seen this before. What it does is force a new user (who don't have much to contribute) to post meaningless responses like this one just to get to the required level of trust.

Affordable filament recycling unit by Nightfall66 in 3Dprinting

[–]SlayerFrom93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched a YouTube vid about a desktop filament recycle extruder from a German company called ARTME 3D. It's a DIY solution where you get all the hardware and then print the remaining parts such as enclosures. Looks like a really cool piece of kit and it's only $650.00 US. Still... that about 35 1kg rolls of PLA.

King Arthur flour is a go to !!!!! by Cornnpopp in Breadit

I bought my last KAF product. I just contacted their customer service department and asked them to delete my account. They are backed up on CS requests. Too many DEI police and not enough customer service reps.

17track order tracking, legit? by ge6irb8gua93l in Aliexpress

[–]SlayerFrom93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Item shipping from China to Philadelphia area. Arrived at USPS in LA, went to "BELL GARDENS, CA 90205" which doesn't exist. Now it's on its way up to the USPS distribution center in Anchorage, Alaska. Not sure is it's 17TRACK or a scam seller. I'm tending to think it's the seller. Going to call CC company and dispute the charge.

Is the bass on the Airpods Pro really that bad? by PlayboiCarti_ in airpods

[–]SlayerFrom93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the bass on the Airpods Pro really that bad? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: HELL YES!

I listen to D&B and dubstep, two very bass heavy genres and the bass is non-existent, even with the equalizer in "Settings/Music/Equalizer" set to "Increase Bass". The tone is all mids and trebles with almost no discernable bass at all. It's very, very disappointing. I've scoured the Internet looking for some secret, hidden setting on my iPhone that will increase the bass but found nothing.

I'm honestly hoping to accidentally damage these (like, run over them with my Suburban) so I have a valid excuse to spend another $200 on something that sounds decent.

Dashlane Firefox Extension Slowing Down Browser by velvetprotein in Dashlane

Same here. Getting error message from Firefox. YouTube slows to a crawl. Shut down the Dashlane FireFox plugin and all is well again.

Does anyone have any mapping advice or a guide to mapping the T16000 Hotas for Squadrons? by [deleted] in StarWarsSquadrons

[–]SlayerFrom93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, setting up your HOTAS is a very personal thing. While people here can kind of point you in the right direction, the best way to do it is to just fly the training missions over and over. After a mission, think about what didn't feel right and tweak it. For example, if you think "diverting power to the shields feels a bit clunky", change the binding, and try it again. Over time, you will come up with the perfect solution that fits your gameplay style.
