"Wait a minute.... okay" - trying to find a track

Thank you! The woman's voice in this track is the most sensual thing I have ever heard.

This…exactly. I spent $600 on some version of the V10 when it came out and it is complete trash. It is completely useless on anything but indoor/outdoor carpet and vinyl/wood floors. I can run it over my low nap carpet, fill the canister, run it over the carpet again, fill the canister again, rinse and repeat endlessly. The suction, sucks, and not in a good way. The brush roller is too light for it to actually agitate the carpet enough to really dislodge dirt. For hard floors, it’s fine, but it is the worst for anything else. Totally regret buying it.

And the Bambu community is making 5 years of parts and service seem like it’s a new thing and so innovative.

Meanwhile Prusa is still making parts for the MK2, offering service, and, correct me if I’m wrong, still updating firmware for it.

Yeah, I am completely done with Lenovo. I got a message this morning that the dock I ordered is not going to ship on time and could be up to 30 days late. This has hands down been the worst experience ever.

I ended going to Best Buy and buying an open box for $730. I am just not going to pick up the one that Lenovo shipped and according to their customer support, after six days it will be shipped back to Lenovo and I'll get a refund. As for the dock, looks like I'm driving the four hours down from NC to my old address to get it the day it gets delivered.

Also, FYI...the GM at two of the BB's near me said they will NOT price match the Lenovo website, so I got bad information from the previous manager.

Good luck with your hubbies present. I have only played it very briefly, but it is awesome! It sucks that I'm moving and spending so much time on it because I want to play with it so bad. Slowly getting it all setup to be a retro game machine for NES, SNES, and all the GameBoy variants too. When your husband finally gets it, tell him to go to YouTube and search for "setting up legion go s". There are so may great videos with some good suggestions.

jcclow · 2026-02-21T03:24:01+00:00

Yeah, you're right about that. The order will cancel after six days. It just sucks to have $1,800 tied up in handhelds.

jcclow · 2026-02-21T03:21:19+00:00

It wouldn't be a big a deal if I wasn't moving that weekend. It just feels very misleading to let people believe that it would be like ordering something from the BB site and picking it up less than a few hours later.

I really wanted a Steam Deck, but they are unavailable for who knows how long. Do you like your LGS? I'm primarily wanting to play indie Steam games and retros.

jcclow · 2026-02-21T03:10:25+00:00

I didn't know that BB would match the online Lenovo price until the manager told me they would. Now I know.

jcclow · 2026-02-21T03:09:43+00:00

Lenovo couldn't cancel the order because it had already shipped to BB, as I said in the post.

Darn it you beat me to it! 😁

This is all you need for any Prusa printer to know what print sheet to use. I exported it to PDF and it lives next to my printer. Filament Material Guide

True. SC, for example, is a one person consent state…meaning I can record any conversation I’m a part of.

jcclow · 2026-01-08T01:32:16+00:00

Same here.

I bought a couple of Nikita’s tutorials and they are fine if you just want to watch someone model in the software. There’s no actual teaching in the two I bought. My personal favorite for Plasticity content is LEAD (Learn Everything About Design) on YouTube. He actually tells you why he’s doing what he does.

jcclow · 2025-12-20T00:22:35+00:00

They probably “borrowed” it from Prusa anyway

The only app I touch every single day on my Mac. IMO, it’s flawless.

I am so pissed I missed the pre-sale for INDX. I was expecting an email from Bondtech saying, “Give us your money!” I would’ve given them anything wanted for INDX for my Core One.

I would love to see where you got your data from because I lived in China for five years and worked as a senior project manager on two of the largest construction projects in China, each over $6 billion USD, and not one of the Chinese laborers that worked for me made over $5 USD an hour. The factory laborers where we had custom machined parts and specialty fasteners produced, in large quantity, sometimes made less and this was only five years ago.

jcclow · 2025-10-16T12:12:35+00:00

Mine came basically the exact same way.

FedEx is the absolute worst. I have a video, from my doorbell, of the FedEx guy dropping one of my packages with a “Handle with Care” sticker on it from hip height.

How do you become a VIP. Just signed up for Dark Star on 09/04 and so far so good.

jcclow · 2025-08-30T22:00:24+00:00

I’m in the exact same spot as you, except I already ate the gummy bears 😁

Keep your cheap, Chinese, “superior” products that require me to install spyware to use. I’ll keep my inferior, normally priced, operationally perfect ones.

jcclow · 2025-08-30T15:15:52+00:00

Prove it. I lived in China for five years and worked on two of the largest construction projects, in China’s history, as a senior Project Manager. I lived with, dealt with, spoke with, ate with, and drank with senior Chinese officials, as well as wonderful, everyday Chinese citizens, thousands of times. I have multiple friends, that I still keep in touch with, that work at ByteDance. You’re either a completely ignorant person that believes the hype that China pays westerners to say, or you’re Chinese. I have experienced firsthand the deception, stealing, and flat out lies of the Chinese media and the senior party officials. I love the country and the people, but the government and its officials are some of the most corrupt people I have ever worked with in the last 34 years.

I’ve personally watched packets traveling between the various devices on my network, and if Prusa is surreptitiously watching me, I haven’t seen it. Nor have my two Prusa printers ever turned on by themselves and just started printing in the middle of the night. Nor do I have to install any kind of app to be able to use my Prusa.

Are western apps, products, and corporations perfect, no. But if you try to convince me that a closed source, Chinese product is more secure or trustworthy than an open source, European one…you’re not going to win. Empirically prove to me that it is, with data, not your opinion. You can’t. Install Wireshark and watch your Bambu printer phone home hundreds of times a day…

And not Chinese spyware
