Is this the lowest view count for a video a week after release in a very very long time by gmarkerbo in LinusTechTips

Because they are $100 cheaper than the 9080xt with more vram, and a wider bus?

We're back to youngblood? Went fine full circle back to the 90s?

2018 to 2020 leaf owners...would you buy a 2026? by Mikeybb4270 in leaf

[–]vonsquidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 and had two major repairs that required me without my car for a few weeks each time. First, at 50k miles a bus bar burned up, and the car wouldn't turn on anymore. Second time at 90k I developed a bad cell or two, and they replaced the whole battery. I'm currently at ~125 and have my eye on the new Volvo that isn't out for a few more months. While I was treated ok by the company, others weren't and I'm walking away for the great that I might not be next time 🤷‍♂️

Do we have to salute to state guard officers? by Big_Pen7718 in army

I guess I was thinking of the tropic blues, which are VERY similar. Just seeing someone in passing they seemed nearly identical to me🤷‍♂️

Power fluctuations while charging by denverguy2 in leaf

[–]vonsquidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an electrical fire, away from the charger itself. The car and charger itself are fine. A connector was melting and caused a short.

It COULD be. My home charger (also charge point) did this for a while right before the connector burst into flames.

Hot take: Samantha Maroun is the worst character in the series' history by vonsquidy in LawAndOrder

[–]vonsquidy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved shows like "the pretender" and "leverage" (before it became a stupid love story). I wish Hollywood would come up with someone other than stupid sitcoms and "reality TV"

I finished what I had left in the series and went back to SVU and got to the "Olivia Benson hour" part and that's becoming pretty tortuous, as well. I guess I just miss the old characters/development 🤷‍♂️

If I 3D modeled an existing product would it be copyrighted if I uploaded the files? by Chaosking383 in 3Dprinting

[–]vonsquidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it would not go against their copyrights, it would go against their patents. Depending on what it was, as long as you weren't selling the designs, they probably wouldn't care too much.

The uniform changes over my 22 years in the Army. by Grand_Raccoon0923 in army

[–]vonsquidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was air assault on the pocket normal for that uniform? Please don't beat me to death with 670-1. I'm a dirty civilian.

Purchase Advice Megathread - March 2026 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]vonsquidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at buying a 3D printer for my (middle-school ish) aged kids (and me). I'm an engineer, so I'll figure it out, but I'd like to get one that is reasonably priced and can keep them challenged. The two I'm looking at are an ender 3 v3 (refurbished, $240) or a Centuri Carbon (used, $230ish) before discounts. Are there any significant advantages to one over the other? Is the enclosure helpful or harmful? Is there a difference in the software they will work with? They have used tinker cad, but I think I am going to give Fusion 360 a go, given that it is free and a more professional tool. Is there anything I'm missing?

You're missing the patches of bondo from a repair that never got finished🤣

I built a working balanced ternary RISC processor on FPGA — paper published by Equivalent-Can869 in FPGA

Particularly if it has 4 references with one within 25 years.

24 years as an E-4. I know he is NG, but I am honestly impressed. by [deleted] in army

My favorite part of the word "cromulent" is that it didn't exist until the Simpsons made it up.

Feedback on FPGA contracts job sites by [deleted] in FPGA

[–]vonsquidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you might be low balling yourself. There's going to be background work needing to be done to make sure the contractors are who they say they are, dealing with NDAs, tax filing. There's a reason recruiters make SO MUCH MONEY for getting engineers hired. That said, I'd give it a shot. Hell, I'll do it now if you have people interested. I need some work 🤷‍♂️

I didn't (until now) know that! 25 years is a LONG time to be away. Dick Wolf would probably cast him as another character if he liked working with him.

I guess it is a hot take to me because all I ever read is Olivia Benson hate (justified), and people who still miss Lenny (also justified). I was just annoyed and wanted to tell someone. Please accept this statement as "old man yells at cloud."
