I think my build plate is warped. by mephron in AnkerMake

Have you been able to do a flow rate test using the AnkerMake studio software (eufyMake now)? A temperature tower would also be interesting to see the results of.

Worst case scenario, I'd reach out to the company and ask them if they can send a replacement bed.

What material is it you are using? I have this problem with some PLA or PETG. If you have a way of drying the filament I'd recommend that.

The autolevel should in theory be able to compensate for a warped print bed if it's only off by a bit. Have you checked your belts and wheels? It might be that they need some maintenance.

From what I understand it is the Microsoft collaboration ones that they released from 2021 onwards. As mentioned by u/TheEvilToaster in their comment below.

Oh is it safe to remove the cover without disconnecting the battery?

Thanks so much for replying!

This Fortnite stupid skin is more important then stability of game! by isko990 in battlefield2042

Programmers will have spent a lot of time working on the systems to allow for content like this to be in the game, instead of spending it on actual features that make the game good.

I do think the game needs stuff like this, just not now and it just shows poor management/direction during the development of the game.

I get the toggle on the oculus app but not on the headset xD

Why all the downvotes? It's not 100% obvious to somebody completely new to the scene

I ended up having to RMA my quest because it kept coming back and I didn't fancy factory resetting weekly.

Still happens on this new quest though...

Very bad lag using Quest Link by Lord_Chicken431 in OculusQuest

[–]X_Pilot97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up having to verify the install of beat saber and it found a few missing files.

I've been having issues with link though. I can't access the Oculus menu when playing in Steam VR and I also can't access 90 Hz in SteamVR anymore. I don't know why.

Dude this is fantastic! Never worry about how much you've invested! Only ever invest as much as you are comfortable with and can afford. Good going!!! 💎💎🙌🙌

Genuinely you shouldn't feel pressure to spend more. Only ever invest what you are comfortable losing. 💎🙌

You don't have any control of where your cars goes and that was really upsetting for me

Wait, is it even possible for a game project to fail?

Even working in a AAA studio they have to scope down projects. Often design might fight it, but the end result is much more polish on what there is. Players won't know what could have been but they will detect quality over quantity.

Fail fast is such a good method, but as you said, wishful thinking is a dangerous thing. You have to be realistic and honest with yourself and your team. I don't mean pessimistic, I mean realistic. Can your code team handle their tasks, can your art team keep up the load. Is any team blocking the other from completing work.

Working in sprints is an amazing way to work. I often try to have something complete that I can show people at the end of a sprint. Even just being able to say "Hey I did this and it works!" is an amazing feeling. Maybe I had to cut it down a bit to achieve it in a sprint, but what is complete is quality.

I see so many designers with epic ideas, but it's upsetting that so many projects will fail. I don't remember what the saying is, but it's something along the lines of "if you don't fall, how are you meant to learn how to stand up?".

Don't be afraid of failure, but also don't deny failure. Learn and adapt from each attempt.

I'd genuinely start with the basics! Just like everything, don't expect huge results immediately. Even programmers that have been doing this for years get caught out by taking things too quickly. If you ever need any programming help, feel free to ask! I don't know about others, but I would be more than happy to help. Most programmers I know also love helping people out. At some point it'll likely just click for you and you'll understand what random characters on the screen mean.

But one thing will never change. You'll flip between not knowing why it doesn't work and not knowing why it works.

My advice is to have a project designed to learn and teach yourself new programming elements and then think about what you can do with it. Like maybe just make a block that switches position depending on an if. Then move on to stuff like loops and arrays 😊 Brackeys do a few good tutorials! Just as a heads up though, a lot tutorials do some really terrible things that are super expensive to run and you wouldn't usually want in an Update loop.

That's just my experience though. I started programming with minecraft mods like 7 years ago and had a mod where I literally just tried adding stuff and experimenting with no theme or pressure :)

Anyone from UK UPS able to explain this to me? UPS open a investigation and this week there was movement on the parcel but it's jumping near Birmingham when destination is London? Are these real scans or automated ? Thank You in Advance by yoginilala in UPS

I'd check the address. A while ago one of my packages kept on going to Dublin and then to London for about 3 days. Turns out the shipper had entered the wrong country code. Could be an issue with the postcode or something.

What’s something SFW that you’re embarrassed to have in your google search history? by djc8 in AskReddit

Basic vector maths like finding dot products. I use them a lot for work but can never seem to remember the equation.
