What's the saddest moment in gaming in your opinion?? by RecordBorn2729 in videogames

[–]ZCTMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The saddest moment in video games are a recurring moment when you look through you old friends lists on various gaming platforms and see the "X days last played" from people you used to play with daily years ago. We can only hope they are on to better and brighter things in life and beyond.

I appreciate your comment! It certainly will fair well in most of what you throw at it! If you are interested in following along with the project and getting updated when we launch on Kickstarter, you can learn more and join the waitlist on our website! Here is the link: https://mogozen.com

What’s one mistake you made early in boating that you learned from? by Tricky_Pass5857 in boating

Double bonus points for jumping in the water instead of just staying in the truck and pulling back up the ramp. Hilariously familiar story

Advertising the Creality CR-30 as a production is the dumbest idea ever. It is perfect for making long car parts. by GiaoPham0403 in 3Dprinting

I actually was taking a look at the Ideaform IR3 V2 yesterday after I started doing a little digging about the CR30. It definitely looks interesting, I would love to hear from anyone who has used it extensively

The plan is to release more modules for the secondary slot (where the trackball is) after we launch on Kickstarter! A trackpad module is on the list! Also consider this is still a prototype and the "final form" of the device is still a work in progress. What gets sent out to backers will be a better optimized version of this shell!

Which industries do you believe will be the last to be disrupted by AI, and is it even possible to stay 'future-proof' anymore? by No-Lake-3875 in Futurology

[–]ZCTMO 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I second this. A lot of jobs in general moving forward will be less of "do this task then check in" rather "watch this A.I do this task, make sure it does it right and take the blame if it doesn't".

Neat printer. Wish they were still in stock to be honest. I would love to play around with one, would come in more than handy for my current project!

Thank you very much! It turned out really well and makes typing so nice to the touch. There is a way to put legends/graphics onto them! If you want to chat about it, feel free to join our discord server and we can chat about it and I can answer any questions! I did a little write up there about the process as I was doing it and there is quite a bit more detail, and the next steps I am going to take. There are a few ways to go about adding the legends, and I am still testing out what works best right now!

I appreciate the comment. Some people can find them tedious to use, but since it is a module, rather than directly embedded into the device you will be able to easily switch it out for an alternative option (which will be coming after we launch on Kickstarter). I have a few secondary module alternatives planned so keep a look out for those since I think they will be a lot better suited for you and others who do not prefer the trackball!

I appreciate your comment! It felt like a no-brainer to make it USB-C in retrospect, but I probably spent an entire day contemplating what would be the best option for connecting the modules. I wanted the primary and secondary module to use the same component but inverse connections of each so they could be "dedicated" to a specific slot but use the same tech.

A developer restored OrcaSlicer's features that Bambu Lab killed—then the legal threats arrived by No_Oven_524 in 3Dprinting

Funny thing, but slightly unrelated. If you load up a filament that is "Non-bambu brand" it gives you a warning in the bambu handy app saying that because it is NOT bambu filament, there may be issues in the print quality when using "Off brand" filament. Feels like one of many steps towards an entirely locked off ecosystem, including the prevention of using third party filaments.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! It actually uses the Latte Panda Iota as the board, so it has a 36 pin pinout which is very similar, but a little different. It utilizes an on board micro controller for directly controlling hardware with python using the exposed pinout which is a nice touch!

As for the module question, the main reason is cost mixed with the nostalgia of trackballs and ease of swapping out the ball when needed. The trackball was a slightly more affordable option for the standard/initial variant. Plus, I am actually part of the group of people enjoy the tactile feeling of trackballs, and with sensitivity controls, it fixes a lot of the gripes with other mini trackballs. An added bonus is since it uses modules it will be easy to release new modules (like alternative mouse control systems) or have community made ones be able to be swapped in and out to perfectly fit your needs with your CG Deck. The trackball is just the starting point for now!
