  • Hey thanks for the advice, and you were right. regardless my my clumsiness, today's announcement ensures i am never going to get a Bambu. https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/

  • If you choose to upgrade to the firmware version with Authorization Features, you must download and install Bambu Connect (a printer control software) from the official website. After installation, you can export sliced .3mf files from OrcaSlicer and open them with Bambu Connect. This software allows you to send the files to your printer and monitor print progress.

    It feels like an effort to start locking out third party tools (like any slicer other than Bambu Studio), but I'm sure it's not going to stop there. For now, they're making you slice it, export the 3mf project, import that to Bambu studio, then send it to the printer, which is likely to piss off a lot of people.

  • I can piss and shit on Starbucks management by not going there - all doing it for real does is force some underpaid barista to have to go clean shit up, and management learns nothing.

  • Yeah I confirmed it when I went back and looked at it again. It ripped about 70% of one of the pads off, which isn't great, but I tried to flow enough solder to connect to it. Unfortunately it still giving me the same error, does anyone know if there is a schematic for the buddy board available?

  • Thanks, i will probably end up doing this, with the help of a pro. I do find it interesting that newer revisions / replacements of the xbuddy board no longer have a series of flimsy wires- they include an actually connector on the board. compare these two screenshots of my board and the official replacement kit. It's also possible the entire white part just ripped off my board somehow and stuck to the wire.

  • Even if you managed to completely block them yourself, all of your friends have their stupid apps on their phones and they have your contact information in their phone as well. Meta is really good about building a profile on you even if they don't get any data directly from you.

  • At this rate, pretty sure my next printer might be a X1C, as much as I hate to say it. I've always valued the open source that prusa brings, but they have just had one facepalm dumb decision after another, and I just want my fucking printer to work. The Mark 4 is a great printer when it works, but it's extremely poorly designed.

    edit: nope, nope, nope I was wrong and will never get a Bambu. Mea Culpa time. https://lemmy.world/post/24358989

  • My two TCL Roku TVs work without an Internet connection. This isn't in defense of Roku TVs to be clear- I regret my purchase, but at least for now they do work offline.

  • Same, I'm skeptical, but I fully believe that that many people say they read. Nobody wants to admit on the record that they don't read.

  • For what it's worth, the majority of the nation doesn't worship guns. But the very small minority that does, like... They worship them a lot.

  • And the most frustrating thing is it's not because we have to be. We literally choose to be. It's infuriating.

  • Hey hey let's leave the Welsh out of it

  • 79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care

    Which is super convenient and totally works out, since we wouldn't have money to go on vacation anyway

  • Apply your logic to the concept of eating. It should be your right, but if you don't have the strength to do it yourself then you don't deserve it. Right?

  • It's ok, but I prefer Spindrift.
