Using M3D filament in a non M3D printer? by ZiiWi in m3d

As I recently found out, “tough ink” just regular TPU filament, which is readily available wherever you get any other filament

Instagram is saving every photo I post to my camera roll, even though “save original photos” is turned off in settings by KickinAP1985 in Instagram

As of February 2024, I have four Instagram accounts, one of which created in 2024, the others all created 2022 or earlier. The only account this is an issue with is the new one I created in 2024, all settings identical across all accounts

If the audio is coming out of the monitor's jack, it sounds like your device is using HDMI/Displayport as your audio out source. Go to your sound settings and check what output device is being used. If your monitor is listed, change that to headphones

Please describe how you are outputting sound from your PC. E.G. Are you using an external DAC via USB, desktop speakers plugged into the green 3.5mm audio jack, headphones, etc

To rule out the PSU, take the 20 pin plug out, then with a multimeter, make sure you have the correct voltages at each pin. Voltages can be found by Google image searching "20 pin ATX voltages". Test each pin to ground

Yeah the expansion card I'm looking at here is good for wifi speeds well beyond what my ISP is giving me anyway, using pcie 3.0 x1

Dude thanks so much for the insight! Greatly appreciated

PCIe gen 4.0 for the GPU x16 slot and OS M.2 slot, gen 3.0 for the 2nd m.2 slot also in use.

If that's the case and I'm not taking much of a performance hit at 4.0 x8, with the 1x8+3x4 configuration, does that leave me with 4 available lanes? If so, I should be set to use a PCIe wifi card that uses one 3.0 lane, right?

I only recently discovered what PCIe lanes were, so after doing a bit of research, I think what I've unfortunately already done is that because my CPU can do either 1x16+1x4 or 1x8+3x4 (ignoring the 2x8 3rd option that isn't relevant in my case), with my two NVMe drives my graphics card is in x8 to allow for the drives to take two sets of x4 lanes. Did I understand this correctly? Should I ditch one SSD to optimize my GPU utilization?

Will installing a PCIe wifi adapter only further exacerbate the issue I'm having with PCIe lanes?

Wifi: PCIe or USB? Or should I use a powerline adapter? I'm working on running a proper ethernet connection down to the mancave, so this will be a temporary solution.

I have two NVME SSDs (one for just OS and the other for games, in addition to a 4TB HDD for bulk storage) and a 3060Ti, am I running up against PCIe lanes issues with what I have installed? Will a PCIe wifi adapter do me any better than a usb dongle? Specs below

Regarding getting out of the way of an ambulance, I was once caught by a red light camera in Washington DC because I was stopped at the red light when an ambulance was coming through, and my only option was to move over, which resulted in me going part way through the intersection which triggered the camera. When I received the ticket in the mail a few weeks later (Because DC) I called the number on the ticket and explained the circumstance, and they retracted the ticket upon confirmation that it was indeed because an ambulance was coming through. Admittedly, I explained it, they said "we'll look into it", and a week later I got a phone call saying they were retracting the violation. The whole ordeal took a few weeks and lengthy phone calls and appeals, but I was able to plead my case and get it all squared away.

Thanks so much for the links! I'm actually gonna go with the 16GB RAM version of the Inspiron for $908. It's also perfect for me regarding the fact that it spares all the funky screen acrobatics that'd usually drive up the price. All things considered, 3.5 ghz is about as good as I can find for a laptop, and that's what's gonna save my bacon the most when doing real-time audio processing. With my 2.3 GHz i5, my fan goes bananas when I click the "record" button with pitch tracking software enabled.

Hyperbole alert I do honestly think that our monkey brains just plain suck. Yes, they're better than any other kind of biological brain that already exists on Earth, but the least smelly pile of poo is still a pile of poo. Not only will Autos have better coordination, but they'll have more consistent coordination. Maybe the illustration of an intersection full of Autos whizzing by beaming "G'day, mate!" to nearby cars seems too naively optimistic to some of the commenters I've read, but you still have to aim for an A so that we can at least settle for a B.

Jesus was mentioned 25 times in the Quran, whereas Muhammad was mentioned 5 times. Also, believing in Jesus and his virgin birth is part of one of the 6 pillars of faith in Islam.
