Yeah, it’s a skewed concept
If you took it literally then of your parents said “go rob a store of all their meat” you’d then be obligated to rob that store

I've known people in their 20s who were more wise and mature than people in their 60s, so age and experience isn't everything

You can not and should never conflate honoring one’s parents with strict obedience. It simply is not in the meaning.

did you still vow to worship her?
"I'll worship you, but you still ain't getting my side of the bed"

Taking the opposite extreme and assuming that your parents ARE always right, you also miss the fundamental reasoning behind their commands if you depend only on strict obedience. You need to process and learn from those with more knowledge and experience, not just blindly go "monkey see, monkey do."

I wonder what would happen if you put signs up that said "litter" and "don't litter" right next to each other -- would they cancel the effect of? Confuse people? Expose the robots that are hiding in plain sight but can't handle a paradoxical order?

pretty sure people would assume the first one was a "don't litter" sign that had been vandalized

I tend to ignore signs if they don't offer any new or useful information.
"Don't litter" beside a trash can is pointless to me.

tardy badger
I wonder if you could mod a MagTag to be tri-color
I think it’s a different driver maybe different or more data lines used? Or it’s just SPI and you use a different library
Would be cool to try
delicate stream
Oh oh oh, I can just connect a tri-color display's ribbon like I did with the flexi-eInk!
If it's the same driver
tardy badger
I think it would be a different driver but possibly the same pin connection
delicate stream
Lemme see...
I can't find the controller on the MagTag
Actually, I think they're all the same controller and connector -- the guide for eInk is vague and works for both
tardy badger
Well, the controller is embedded in the e-ink itself
It’s not physically on the board
I would check the tricolor schematic to see if the pins and overall design is the same
I imagine both are from Good Displays which probably means they are at least similar
thick wind
They should all be the same
delicate stream
Oh, what does the eInk friend do then? Just a breakout?
tardy badger

thick wind
It's all SPI communication
delicate stream
Oh yeah RAM buffer
tardy badger
Yeah, it is all SPI
thick wind
Same pinouts for all of the ones sold by Adafruit, anyways
tardy badger
But voltages might be higher with tricolor vs monochrome
delicate stream
To the data sheets!
tardy badger
But I really feel like in general they should be the same
I just haven’t designed around more than monochrome

The eink friend handles tricolor displays, so I'd be surprised if MagTag didn't...

Worst that could happen is a temporary smoke machine

delicate stream
Lol. So yeah, Hershey bars, Snickers, and sugar-blasted sugar bars would probably make most happy
One of the nice things is you don't have to worry about pleasing everyone -- someone else will give something you don't, kids will trade, and all will probably be happy

No notches, no rounded screen corners or curved edges, no pinholes, just flat rectangle screens, on all devices

Rounded corners is a good example

Other than UI adjustments, it’s just the top of the screen. People rarely use the top of their screens.

A notch removes useful screen space.
dusk oracle

tardy badger
Okay… bad visuals and not a great argument
tardy badger
If you covered the notch, you would simply have the screen you had before. Notches simply allow more usable space and less dead space.
It’s not an insane or ill purposed design choice
Maybe not as optimal because it takes more effort to design around.

tardy badger
DX12 was supported all the way back on Radeon HD 6770
delicate stream
10 series has DX12 support (shipped with it) and SSE2 is a CPU feature
Also SSE2 has been standard for 20 years
tardy badger
DX13 is another topic
dusk oracle
i know it's still a fact that you are too lazy to code propperly so you deny a entire generation of cpu's
like win 11 is
tardy badger
Win 11 is just just stupidity under the guise of consumer safety
Forcing someone to have a TPM for an upgrade doesn’t make computers safer
And a handful of security researchers even showed that TPM2.0 modules or firmware rarely slowed down attacks where it supposedly was supposed to help
delicate stream
And it's ugly too
tardy badger
Mostly because hacking and malware grows at a much faster rate than hardware and Os software
delicate stream
I'm leaving Windows because of all the 11 crap
tardy badger
The fact that if your computer is stolen, a TPM2.0 module can be circumvented with hardware is another reason requiring it is just plain stupid
Wrong plain lol

Windows 10 was okay
delicate stream
I skipped 8 unphased. If they do come out with a Windows 12 and reverse the crap, or just reverse it in 11, I'll revisit my choice... But right now, 10 will likely be the last version of Windows I'll use (daily driver anyway)

talking about win 7.
i had a key but now suddenly microsoft wont accept it

One thing I definitely prefer about 10 over 7 is the start menu -- I can make it soooo much cleaner in 10, feels like the 95/98/2000 days, but better

Cutting fiberglass?

Well, I scored it with a utility knife and then snapped it apart
wooden schooner
Oh that's the good case
I don't know how to do that well. Did you have guide wood on both sides to make a straight cut?
fast sedge
I made a couple of marks on each edge and then used a straight edge on one side, holding it down with one hand while I scored it with the other. Wasn't perfect, but still trying to figure out a better way to do it with the tools I have lol (or figure out what I need to do it better)
It was actually this video that gave me the idea lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sovxWSPrVLU
wooden schooner
Yeah, that's basically what I've tried but had a noticeable amount of slippage. My next attempt will probably feature scrap wood clamped to both sides so that there is only one way for the knife to go
fast sedge
That's not a bad idea
quartz wren
if either of you have a 3D printer, you could probably make a knife guide for it
wooden schooner
Oh wait this was actually when I was trying to cut acrylic, which might be more finicky
wooden schooner
But similar concept
quartz wren
in fact, that sounds like something that could be super useful for me to print off...
just a block of plastic that's thicker than the depth of the sharp bit of the blade, with a gap in it that's just wider than the blade
clamp that to your board

That's a pretty good idea too @quartz wren . I actually bought an ender 3 V2 awhile back but have not had the motivation to put it together and learn how to use it yet lol. Hoping to do that before the end of the year

If you got any 3D printing questions, troubleshooting, etc. just ping me with what you need answers to and I'll walk you through it

wooden schooner
First q: how much does it cost to make a first 3d printing project
Is joining a makerspace the only cost effective way for an individual?
Do I need to run windows and/or pay for commercial cad software?
quartz wren
I mean, that depends
oh
no paid software needed
you can model in blender if you really want to
delicate stream
You can get $100 printers, 1kg of filament is usually like $10-20 and makes a great many things. All FOSS software
quartz wren
but for CAD I use OpenSCAD
delicate stream
Well, there are paid options, but you don't NEED them
quartz wren
^
wooden schooner
Does the cad tool typically compile to 3d printer instructions or is that a separate tool
delicate stream
Many projects, just from cost of filament, cost a few pennies to a couple dollars
wooden schooner
Also does each printer have its own quirks for instruction language
delicate stream
Slicer takes your model and turns it into code. There are standards, and the slicer usually does all the work for weird printers anyway
quartz wren
but for most ones you're going to buy at consumer level they'll be standardized
yeah, as long as you've got things set up correctly for the flavor of GCODE you're good
wooden schooner
Oh I thought g-code was for cnc
quartz wren
additive versus subtractive CNC
delicate stream
CNC printer vs. CNC router/mill
quartz wren
and this is a place where the term "same difference" applies
wooden schooner
Ok so, for around $150 I could get a printer and some filament, compile a cad model to g-code using foss on Linux and print it?
quartz wren
because there's the same difference between CNC printer vs CNC router as additive versus subtractive
wooden schooner
And then future projects would be only the price of filament

Yup! You can even build your own printer if you want
wooden schooner
How is that possible
quartz wren
because capitalism
a lot of initial demand without so much initial supply, so the supply rises to meet the demand and the demand wanes a bit so things are cheap
which is why they went from thousands of dollars to the hundred dollar range
wooden schooner
I meant more the, how could someone build their own
delicate stream
It's just a microcontroller and some motors and rails
wooden schooner
But yeah low prices are nice
wooden schooner
It's just a microcontroller and some motors and rails
Yes but what about precision
quartz wren
don't need as precise of assembly if you have extrusions with good 90 degree references to work from
delicate stream
Yes but what about precision
Commercial units can be more precise, but off the shelf parts can be amazingly precise. Stepper precision is more important than, say, frame size precision, because it's all relative to the print head, not the frame
wooden schooner
Ah, that makes sense / I think I basically get that
quartz wren
also frame precision really only matters when it comes to having your axes perpendicular to each other
which is made easy with extrusions that have 90 degree corners built in
delicate stream

delicate stream

quartz wren
you mean fully self replicating or just can print all its own elements?
delicate stream
Fully
quartz wren
yeah, I feel that
I'm working toward it but I'm starting with one that prints all of its own frame
and all that's required is a 3D printer electronics kit
kind of hard to print motors
but once I figure out multi-material SLS printing
with ceramic and metal
delicate stream
Gotta aim for infinity
quartz wren
@delicate stream for the record, self replicating printers is one of the main goals of the lab I'm building

So... Doing background checks for my new job... signed up for an account on a state site, which required creating security questions... picked 3 that are not easily guessed... and then I go to log in with the temp password that was emailed in plaintext, and then it asks you to verify, so I pick security questions, and it asks me questions that were not the ones I chose, and thus it has no answers for.
Also, it has a password checker to create a new password, that has pretty simple requirements:
- at least 8 characters
- at least one capital
- at least one lower
- at least one special character
- doesn't include your username or first/last name
Put in a 16 character randomly generated password... It says it doesn't adhere to the policy... But doesn't tell you why.
And then it reloads the page showing 8 dots instead of the 16 I typed in.... Does that mean MAX 8 characters?!
Max 14.... stupid
stoic mesa
it doesn't require unicorn hair as part of the password?
delicate stream
It needs to be 8-14 characters BUT NOWHERE DO THEY MENTION AN UPPER LIMIT AND WHY WOULD YOU MAX IT AT 14 ANYWAY
And then I put in one it says is strong [14 characters] and then it kicks me out!
Like, just said "you are successfully logged out!", like it logged me out when it changed... but no, still the temp password!
Ok, second time worked... I guess it timed out after too many tries because it's dumb? Also it keeps taking you to logout pages when you do anything with the password that says "close this window and open the application again" instead of just taking you back to the login....
Why are government sites so bad

I like bad weather if I don't have to be in it. If I can watch safely from an insulated and regulated box.
Because if you go to extremes of insulated and regulated boxes for survival of environmental factors, having that on earth is nothing in comparison to the bad weather you'll have in a space colony
And that's what I'm gearing towards.
No clue if any of that makes sense I still haven't finished making coffee so brain is still cycling for a boot device in bios
