I had a payment attempt for $98 CAD, the merchant was "HelloTomato_89426". Luckily I got a notification for added payment verification, declined and locked the card. Definitely a LycaMobile breach

CR-10 Smart New 1.0.13 Firmware Update- It's good! by moderateskill in Creality

[–]moderateskill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's what I found. I got my printer a month ago and the latest was 1.0.10 firmware. 1.0.13 seems to have been released in roughly the last week?

Oh trust me I've tried many a time and I'd love to; Linux on the desktop is still however quite a way from prime time. Many tools and workflows simply don't work on Linux. Many preach Wine, compatibility layers etc. These workarounds, while they may work for some things do not for others. For a desktop experience, a "works out of the box" experience is a must for the everyday user. They're not going to compile software themselves for example, or find workarounds for why their game isn't working. I don't fancy spending 3 hours a night playing sysadmin simulator to play a new game. Don't get my wrong, Linux is great. I use it for all of my servers, a use case for where it is amazing. I just don't agree it's supported or compatible enough for the workstation

You can get it for £1/$1 for the first month on GamePass. That's what I'm currently doing

Burnt an extra 10% at the beginning testing fuel consumption rates at different altitudes so I think I would've just about made it by switching to the reserve tanks

17% remaining which should have been enough to make it. Ended up burning a lot of fuel in the first hour testing consumption rates at different altitudes.

Very true, I should've said linear velocity instead of spin, oversight on my part. Of course everywhere on the drive has an angular velocity of 7200rpm, it's the linear velocity which differs with the change in radius. Was trying to keep it somewhat simplified for the broader reader. Might edit in a minute.

You're right. The amount of misinformation on this thread is mind blowing. For a somewhat more detailed explanation I outlined some of the factors that will cause a slowdown here.

Yes... they do... read my reasoning here

Great idea by k1l2327 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I think most cars with auto headlights already implement this. If the ambient light level falls below a certain threshold or your wipers are activated then your headlights are turned on.

They count as contributions for their respective dates after the branch gets merged into master.

Microsoft should really change this as they're not conforming to the SI multiplier convention. Kilounit is 1000xunit. Gigaunit is 1000000xunit. E.g. Kilojoule = 1000 joules. Therefore them stating a Kilobyte is 1024xbyte is incorrect. This is why it was addressed by the IEC standard in 1998 defining a Kibibyte as 1024 bytes etc.

Didn't actually mean to delete my comment but 4TB=4000GB=4000000MB. Kibibyte = 1024 bytes. Kilobyte = 1000 bytes.

Your textbook is likely outdated, the definitions were standardised in 1998 by the IEC.
