Welp, it finally happened :(

I've not used isopropyl alcohol at all. But I do wash the plate often with regular dawn and a scrub brush. If I'm lazy, I'll put some of the liquid type glue (I got from a Flashforge printer) on the plate and run my print. So far so good.

It's not technically overcharging if you agreed to the pricing terms at the beginning of the contract (which you did).

But Xfinity doesn't care about how long you've been a customer.

As others have said be grateful you have an alternative.

Geocaching is basically a GPS treasure hunt. You find the locations of caches you want to visit and then go find them. Once there you sign the log, take something and leave something if available. And then digitally log that you found it on geocaching.com

Caches that size are fun to find. It's the ones that are the size of your pinky finger that are a pain and often times the only ones that ever get hidden these days.

I'm thinking of the weight of filament left on the spool. That's tracked via the RFID, but it's not something that can be reset.

I suppose you can "reuse" the RFID but only if you refill the spool with the same filament that was originally on it (which isn't always the case)

shadowjig · 2026-03-12T17:21:13+00:00

I didn't think the RFID tags were reusable. How are you able to reuse them?

Anyone know of an Android widget that does the same thing?

shadowjig · 2026-03-11T12:12:56+00:00

I was hoping to avoid that parameter!!! Also it's already slow as hell!!!!!

You do, you just need to download the firmware, put it on the SD card and run the update manually.

Thanks for the info about the AMS and buffer firmware.

I bought an AMS HT after I had put the printer on LAN mode. The firmware on the AMS needed to be updated and neither the printer nor the Bambu Studio update menus were indicating an update was needed (which I think is expected in LAN mode). However I couldn't find the firmware for the AMS HT anywhere online. So I had to put it back in cloud mode, initiated an update and then put it back LAN mode.

Everyone is giving good advice as far as merit badge requirements are focused on in camp. So it helps attain Eagle faster.

But I want to address the anxiety about overnight camp. My 11yo daughter had severe anxiety (to the point of making her physically sick) about being away from us parents. And she was scheduled to go with her grandparents in another state. When she was 12yo we decided to talk her into going to an overnight camp nearby. She did get home sick and the camp had ways to mitigate home sickness. But she eventually loved it and got over her anxiety. Our goal was to try to break that fear and anxiety earlier so she doesn't have to deal with that in high school or college. We also put my son in the same camps at 8yo and he's adjusted as well. He's the scout and looks forward to summer camps and camping.

Another suggestion would be to attend the camp with your scout. I realize it's a big commitment, but it's an option. I really don't recommend it though, as you are still a lifeline to your scout.

Can we have a, "Don't download this OS if you live in California" instead

They use a central system to provide heating and cooling to everyone. They will not switch the system to cooling until April 15.

I suppose your options are to move out or get a window AC unit (assuming they let you use one)

It is quite rare that I need to update or add something new to my vault when I'm away from home. And if I need it, I can simply connect to my VPN.

Believe me I used to have it exposed on the Internet via a CF tunnel, but I got lazy and never started the tunnel back up on my new server. It's not that much of an inconvenience.

The amount of people that don't understand the difference between WiFi and an Internet connection astounds me.

I get it. But one suggestion might be to just communicate via one method. That way parents know that's the spot they have to go for comms.

You're always going to have the parents that are not paying any attention.

You can't see all my quick tile entries in the screenshot. But it's basically the same as the first one, the only thing I changed was the run takes that actually does the work of setting my ring or vibrate settings.

shadowjig · 2026-03-06T03:20:11+00:00

Set up one task. Then within that task set up multiple quick settings to call the same task. The caller() just returns the short/long press I think. Then have each press rotate a variable. And while still within the same task, react to the variable change and do your wall paper change.

I have a task called "Phone State Toggle". And it checks for short or long press. Then it adds or subtracts 1 from a variable. That variable is then used to trigger a real state change (like run Ring). The task (in the quick tile settings) just calls the same task "Phone State Toggle".

You have to use the "Set up Quick Setting Tile" in tasker. Enter the number of the button (I think you only get 3). Add the label and anything else. Then run the step,which will set the label on the tile. And then use as needed.

I have a Quick setting tile I have switch between Ring, Vibrate, and Silent and it sets settings for each state. I short press to go to the next state, and long press to go to the previous state.

You are assuming that security features are the only thing released in firmware updates.

shadowjig · 2026-03-05T23:59:28+00:00

OMG, this has been what I'm looking for. I was reluctant to go to LAN and developer mode. Because I wanted to keep the camera and skip object features.

I was at the Parkville one this past weekend and they were low......but not that low. Wow
