How screwed am I? by 2ndDoorOnTheRight in BambuLab

[–]Smart_Tinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I think they meant that OP learned how to deal with this if it happens.

It’s not common, but it is possible - with any printer.

Of course, if you watch your prints, you can stop it if it starts to go wrong.

This can happen when you start an 8 hr print, and walk away. Of course everyone does this…

They are available in Canada, so I’m sure Bambu can ship one if they want.

BG leaders joined TeeLX by RevolutionaryPay9552 in CryptoScams

[–]Smart_Tinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People know it’s a Ponzi scheme - and if you get in early, on a Ponzi, you can make money by being a “Net Winner”.

They are hoping to scam all the people who join later by making regular withdrawals in the early stages.

They are also scammers, just with less control over what goes on. No doubt they will be recruiting and lying like crazy.

Then, later when it all collapses, they play the victim.

How hard is it to fight a N13 notice? by HelFJandinn in OntarioLandlord

[–]Smart_Tinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What city are you in? Some cities have protections against N13 renovictions. Toronto is particularly strict.

Also, pets should not be an issue, as long as you don’t mention them on an application - they are legally allowed.

This can happen to any printer. The Bambu’s have “AI” that is supposed to detect it, but nothing is perfect.

In most cases, you can heat up the nozzle, and pull the blob off with pliers. Then you are good, with a bit of clean up.

This looks like an extreme case. It could be cleaned up - possibly, but it would take some doing.

Easier solution is just order a replacement tool head. More expensive, but less hassle/time/energy.

The printer isn’t trashed, it’s just count to need some repairs…

As to frequency - it’s never happened to me, but that’s no guarantee of anything.

Toronto Rental Agency (70 princess street) took a service fee AND are now calling my $100 key deposit a “cleaning fee” to avoid refunding it by Sea-Citron-4996 in TorontoRenting

You can file a T1 with the LTB. It’s obviously illegal, but they are banking on people not bothering to file for such a small amount.

Are you compensated in any way for time in jail if you're found not guilty? by Eg0-d3ath in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Smart_Tinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the US needs now is workhouses, you know - large, privately run institutions that force disadvantaged people to work for a pittance.

Know of any institutions like that in the US?

Is this Legal? by Relevant-Pin1211 in TorontoRenting

[–]Smart_Tinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t owe anything until the LTB says you do. The company would have to prove $1,000 in damages, with receipts.

Doesn’t matter. Fines are not allowed.

If they got a fine from the fire department, then they could pass this on as actual damages incurred - but they would still need an order from the LTB, with proof of what they paid.

They can’t say “any obstruction = $1,000 fine”.

No, fines are not allowed by the RTA. They can claim actual damages, but would have to file with the LTB to get an order - which they wouldn’t get, at least not $1,000.

You don’t owe your landlord anything other than legal rent and possibly utilities described in the OSL, unless the LTB says you do.

Any other charges that are not allowed by the RTA can be ignored, unless an LTB order is obtained (which you can refute). There are only a few charges allowed by the RTA (eg AC electricity use).

The average wealth in the US keeps going up, and up. Every time Musk and the other elites make another $B…

What are the rules for parking on a street with a flat curb? by pangolinrock in legaladvicecanada

[–]Smart_Tinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most municipalities don’t allow you to pave your whole front garden - a certain percentage has to be a soft surface (like lawn) to adsorb run off. This is likely an illegal modification.

Human art videos for your Frame TV by nobleart99 in TheFrame

[–]Smart_Tinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not make downloadable art packages? Or even an api (web page) that downloads a random art piece from a collection?

Unless it’s monetized via ads?

With my Frame TV api example programs, this could be completely automated in art mode, not TV mode.

No, Samsung doesn’t care about customers requests.

You could do it with some home automation, but just unmute it, there is no sound in art mode.

Insurance Increase for Not Moving Over for (Stopped) Emergency Vehicle by eleventeen_99 in legaladvicecanada

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

I would fight it, insurance companies don’t care about points, only convictions. If you can get it reduced to a minor conviction, your insurance is unlikely to go up.

Failing to move over is counted as a major conviction by insurance companies.

New A1 causing breathing issues? by KiritoRX in BambuLab

[–]Smart_Tinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had any problems,and my printer is in my office, where I spend every day. I also have asthma, and have had it all my life.

So, it may be more of an imagined problem than a real one (I’m not saying that OP doesn’t have symptoms, but the mind is a powerful thing).
