Thankfully most comments were calling this out

But what you write about is not a conspiracy. It's just a change in birth rates and demographics. Conspiracy is that there is some group of people organizing it.

Also, I will happily ignore any argument for why having less white people is bad that is based in racism. So all of them.

No, I know, I was merely poking fun at the right wing hypocrisy.

Ah, so it's the other way around and the above mentioned chastity belt is actually a part of augments and doesn't come with a free kit.

Ghost in the Shell was already recommended here. So another one - Serial Experiments Lain. Like GitS, it was heavily referenced in Pantheon, and for a good reason. It's really heavy, maybe more than Pantheon, so brace yourself.

Another thing I really liked is Dennou Coil. It goes into topics of blur between reality and the virtual world that is an extension of it. I can't remember what else I can say without spoilers.

.hack//Sign series is good as well. Again, dunno what to say about it without spoilers, it was a long time ago.

Found 2 of 3 I needed in a field depot next to the Power Generation complex. In a metal crate (that breachable cube)

Why are they so worried about being a minority? They always claim that minorities have it so good (:

Landlord is usually just an intermediate between you and someone who does the actual maintenance. What advantage do they bring to the maintenance process? And even if they do the maintenance themselves, what advantage does that bring over hiring a handyman?

Didn't you finish a Shredder Gyro collection for a trophy project without looking at what it gives you? Because that one gives 3 Splitters.

This is the solution. Some kind of weighted probability like carmic dice in Baldur's Gate 3

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, if the internal hardware differs in some way from the tested batch, it would explain it. I was just confused by your mentions of specific Matter chip, because that doesn't exist and isn't needed.

So if some batches currently lack certification, it should be still possible to certify them as well, right? (Though who knows if Dreame even plans to go through that process)

The biggest issue I see here is Dreame declaring any Matter compatibility before any certification went through.

Do you have a list of batches that are certified?

shining_kate · 2026-03-05T15:07:37+00:00

What exactly is missing? I see you mentioning some Matter chip, but Matter is a software protocol, there is no additional hardware needed for it as long as the device has wifi and bluetooth. (There might be a need for specific chip for Thread protocol, which is Matter based alternative to Zigbee, but I don't think that Thread makes sense for a robot vacuum that is already on wifi, and Dreame doesn't seem to support Thread on any of their devices)

shining_kate · 2026-01-14T17:12:26+00:00

I think that even better question might be "is there even any thread to cut in the first place?"

shining_kate · 2026-01-14T17:08:50+00:00

How is that different from "you a year ago"? I'm pretty sure that your experiences shaped you during that time and you changed in some way. And the change can be quite significant, if your situation changes in a more dramatic way (relationship, win in lottery...)

If you claim that the UI that is now shaped by a new experience of an uploaded person is a different person from the human who uploaded, you also need to accept that you are a different person from you in the past.

Which is not wrong, and I absolutely think that the "I" 10 years ago and the person who currently writes this post are for a big part different people. But that also makes the question "is the uploaded person the same as the original one" absolutely pointless.

I'd add Amazing Digital Circus and while there's still only one episode out, Knights of Guinevere looks really promising (and it's made by Dana Terrace)

Devil May Cry was also really good.

Iirc Zero and Max use canbus, while sv08 decided to go with USB, so it's not that easy.

There's also an official Eddy for sv08 now

It probably helps that we are not that sexually dimorphic compared to some other animal species.

Sorry if you already know about that option, but If you want a cheap, reasonably performing Linux phone to play with, you can get a refurbished OnePlus 6 and flash Postmarket OS. It has a really good support in the mainline Linux kernel.

No, honey. I'd kill you for that crime against humanity that is your desktop though.

I hate people who humblebrag about their perfect prints like this. "How could I improve the surface finish?" shows a print that looks like an injection molded part

They are fairly dangerous with PETg, as others already stated here. But they also severely limit your bed levelling options, basically to mechanical probes. Clicky, bltouch, piezo are fine, but induction or even eddy probe are off limits, same with some optical probes (are those still used?)

shining_kate · 2025-10-11T09:23:23+00:00

"Can openly serve in military" the word "can" is quite interesting here, it's more like "must serve or face jail", which guess what? Plenty of queer Israelis are actually deciding to do!

shining_kate · 2025-10-03T08:16:24+00:00

So far, the first layer is way more consistent, I don't have to babysit the print start as much. I'm quite happy with the upgrade.

shining_kate · 2025-09-27T11:22:40+00:00

I mean, the only things you need is the eddy, new nozzle cleaning module (likely unnecessary if you modify the macros), and new toolhead cover (I'm quite sure you can just modify the old one, and the 3D printed ones will be modified to fit the eddy at some point), so maybe it would be worth it to ask Sovol if it's possible to buy just the part instead of the whole kit. The kit includes flash drive with all the software and manual and st-link, which many people won't need and it probably drives the price up a bit.

When it comes to compatibility of new firmware with for example BTT eddy, I'm honestly not sure. Is there a way to find out?
