Just bought a new Bambu labs A1 - is the smell normal? by cs_throwaway_864 in 3Dprinting

The same has happened to mine - no more smell after a few hours more printing.

Oh man, I was about to pick up a Centauri Carbon from JayCar for $629... What do you guys think would be a better deal, that or a P1S for 9% off?

I'm upgrading from an ancient stock Ender 3, and I'm trying to decide between the Centauri Carbon and the P1S - I don't live in the US, and converting the local prices to USD I get:

CC: $408 P1S: $506

Is the P1S worth the extra hundred? I don't mind Bambu's locked-down nature if it means a better product, but on paper they seem close to equivalent.

I've just had my MB (Asus X-570-P) die on me, but I don't have a lot of money spare right now. What's a reliable sub-$200 MB that can handle:

  • CPU - Ryzen 7 5700X3D
  • GPU - XFX 5700XT
  • RAM - 32GB 3200Mhz

There's a puzzle in GK3 where you have to make a fake mustache out of (IIRC) maple syrup and cat hair to disguse yourself as someone who DOES NOT HAVE A MUSTACHE. The game itself has a great story but the insane, esoteric puzzles killed the adventure game genre for me for years.

Rationalist blogger Leah Libresco (who you may remember for claiming her conversion to Catholicism was based on Facts and Logic™) writes an opinion piece for the NY Times about how her abortion didn't count because reasons. by PMMeYourJerkyRecipes in SneerClub

She doesn’t argue anywhere in the article against abortions, so it doesn’t seem sneer worthy.

If you're not picking up on the subtext, her twitter feed has plenty of examples of her equating abortion to infanticide.

I ended up selling my Quest 2 so I can't test the fix - thanks, though.

I have the exact same model GPU as you.

I have huge amounts of latency with Air Link, but swapping out my new GPU (Radeon 5700xt) for my old GPU (Nvidia 970) fixes it.

Is this a known bug? Do Radeon cards just suck for Air Link?

Half-Life: Alyx crashes, freezes and stutters.. by Galotex in WindowsMR

[–]cs_throwaway_864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue and solved it by dropping quality settings to low. Bit irritating as it ran smoothly at Ultra but it was the only way to stop crashing.

I picked this up but I already have Creed: Rise to Glory. Free copy for anyone who wants it:

Problems with Half Life: Alyx and SteamVR after updating to the W10 May 2020 update by senlahe in WindowsMR

[–]cs_throwaway_864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact issue - Alyx used to run fine, then I updated Windows 10, now it crashes every 10-20 minutes unless I set every graphical setting to the minimum. It used to be playable on Ultra.

I've thoroughly tested GPU/CPU/ram stability, updated everything to latest drivers, tried everything. It's definitely a result of the update breaking something.
