Back in my day, and to this day, Microsoft offers such huge discounts in academia on licensing, and recruit so many students from university, I never saw anything but MS.

I'm glad we are at least in an age that there's alternative to Microsoft in the free and open source space for individuals even when school goes down their path.

Glad you got it working, interesting if the slicer itself was the problem.. When you're loading a file to the printer on my elegoo I'll be able to check the actual layer settings which is ultimately the key since that's how long the lcd will light up and cure the resin.

However supports and rafts are heavily influenced by the slicer so any issues there could be resolved by the slicer software.

Otherwise your hygiene cleaning all sounds like good practice regardless both to remove variables and maintenance.

Glad you got it sorted

The best shot you could have taken. Good work!

Without Carlos driving at his peak, Ferrari will not be able to guarantee second in constructors let alone challenge for first as perez continues to contribute nada to red bull. I'd imagine they'd like to continue to be second and specifically ahead of maclaren. To do that they'll need him to be motivated to be a driver and I don't know much about him but if I've seen anything from the races, it's that he's motivated by personal achievements.

Either way double Ferrari dnf from infighting entertains me greatly. :)

I've been thinking of running something using second hand usb cameras and raspberri pi 3+ since my switch already has poe and my nas has 40tb.

I have a 3d printer so a wall mount enclosure shouldn't be hard either.

Was thinking of mounting them on the window frames indoors.

Nvr software like this might work: https://github.com/seydx/camera.ui

Tailscale will allow me to access the Web front end anywhere on my devices. Individually it could hold the RPis too just for remote troubleshooting later if anything happens.

Personally I'd like to reuse as many things that I already own and have no specific reliance on a vendor. If I got a rstp camera later, I wouldn't need a pi to host the camera. But I've got a couple of pis and a couple of usb webcam to start. It won't work for night mode so I'll have to make sure the outdoor lights are triggered by motion.

But I've not done anything yet this is all how I've thought about it in my head. So I'm watching this space to learn more too.

One rich company trying to claim money off the other rich companies using its software. The ROI on enforcing these will come from only those that really should have afforded to pay and if they can't, shouldn't have built on the framework. Let them duke it out. I have zero empathy for either side.

The hopeful other side is with a "budget" for the license, a company can consider using that to weigh up open source contributions and expertise. Allowing those projects to have experts who have income. Even if it's only a few companies that then hire for that role of porting over, and contributing back to include needed features, more of that helps everyone.

The same happens in security, there used to be no budget for it, it was a cost centre. But then insurance providers wouldn't provide cyber insurance without meeting minimum standards (after they lost billions) and now companies suddenly have a budget. Security is thriving.

When companies value something, because they need to weigh opportunity cost, they'll find money.

Mac book pro from 2012 still going, not strong, Bluetooth barely works, there's a dying row of pixels, on the screen, the CPU doesn't seem to support any modem video codec in accelerated mode, and the speakers were clearly garbage and it doubles how bad the Bluetooth is. But it's running pop os! And it's running it fine. I mean as long as you connect via rustdesk to another real machine to do real work. It can't handle tabs or browser rendering...

Anyway even if i retire it today, it's outlasted 3 work laptops.

Post your cones of calibration front and back. They reveal if you're exposure is at least something to rule out.

We call it 'state of origin'

Same, I need too much mental space for it, it's so engaging that I want to actually have the room to enjoy it. When I do I love it, but when I don't I kind of don't want to disrespect it and my enjoyment of it with a half attentive state.

I've seen similar on my desktop on proton when on wake it crashes the display manager and shows my locked desktop unlocked with all the running applications before it finishes crashing closing all my applications and then going back to login screen.

I know you already got this but here is it again in my own words: don't watch the news, don't read social media, make personal connections one on one with people and judge your life by your vision and lens. Most people are judging it through a distorted news or social media centric set of glasses and it sounds hopeless. But when you look at your own family and friends you might just realise they're better than you think, you're able to find time to play and connect, you can still work and live with comfort, and your kids can grow up strong and healthy.

Start discarding that which is not truely part of your life, ignore the billionaires, the enshitification and all other forms of uncontrollable and frankly, barely affects you. These societal issues are always painted with someone else's view point.

When you find something that does directly, without someone else telling you it does, affect you, and you're in the mentally healthy place to take on that challenge, that's when you Ave. If you think about it like that, and others did the same, most of our societal problems would be tasked by those who are in positions to do so.

I say this as someone who's currently on 24/7 standby watching someone kind of like you, but going through depression, going through hopelessness, and going through addiction recovery (with all the slip ups). And their life right now is made, but they're so busy fixated on issues they can't either control nor have affects on them. They've got a house, it's part paid off, they've got a well paying job, the owners of that job respect and offering pay rises to them, they've got a partner, who's struggling their best to help them. In isolation they're in luxury. But they get self worked up about other people's business and societal or global issues. For what good? Stay grounded and self aware. Be thankful to yourself for making it so far already, and see the upward trends over the entire life and not the tiny problems of today.
