I got P1S non combo cause I thought "I don't care to print in multicolor"

How wrong was I to not get $200 ams bundled in

The first actually cheap mainstream 3d printer was the Creality CR10

Easier access to the filament and keeps it somewhat dry

Ender 3s also work fine if you know what you’re doing 😛

Mine worked

Until it didn’t(I bought my Prusa and stopped caring)

Ideally I'd find an ams in eBay for cheap, but people seem to be holding onto them

#

Unless you have carbon filled, wood filled or a particularly hydroscopic TPU you don’t need one

#

In practical terms PLA PETG and even likely abs and asa won’t absorb enough moisture to ruin a print

raw cargo
#

I dunno I heard that PETG and TPU absorb moisture pretty fast

#

And good god my environment is humid

winged spire
#

I’ve got some 15 year old PETG that’s been sitting in air the whole time that still prints fine

Idk I might get a prusa as the next one if it would make sense but for now it doesn't

winged spire
#

You can slightly improve surface finish by drying it but like.. who cares

raw cargo
#

I printed a phone stand today (I'm bored)

winged spire
#

Printing too fast is much more detrimental than the small amount of moisture

winged spire

#

Good surface finish

#

That’s basically it

#

Unless your goal is just to stiffen a part up it’s useless

#

Tensile strength is killed by the short carbon fiber strands

raw cargo
#

so unnecessarily expensiive

#

but looks kinda cool

winged spire
#

Also you don’t really wanna be touching printed CF parts

raw cargo
#

ya I know

winged spire
#

CF is a skin irritant

raw cargo
#

would sanding it down help tho

#

(my questions might be stupid im a noob)

winged spire
#

Not really

#

And that would take away the biggest part of the cf filament

#

If you sand it that nice surface finish goes with it

#

@keen cedar

#

ah then I will sand it (I finished the PLA spool that came with my printer)

Hey yall

restive lion
#

How annoying is it to replace Apple Watch batteries

latent kiln
#

Not that bad if you're ok with paying for a new screen

#

Otherwise, borderline impossible if you don't have a lot of practice with it

#

And even then it's risky

restive lion
#

I looked up the ifixit tutorials and my main worry is fucking up the screen :p

latent kiln
#

The screens are $60-140 typically depending on the model

#

Expect to have to buy one

#

And it will not even be close to water resistant after

restive lion
#

Oh hm

#

Even with new adhesive?

latent kiln
#

Getting new adhesive on older models is difficult

#

It's usually dried to shit when you get it which makes it less than useless

#

Overall if you've never opened a phone don't open an Apple Watch

#

You're better off selling it to someone who can

restive lion
#

I've fucked around with laptops and phones I'm just worried about the screen since it's so tiny (and now the waterproofing lol)

viscid elm
#

easy way, just do not break the screen

restive lion
#

I can probably get a couple more years out of this thing, just annoying to charge it every day lol

restive lion

#

i have yet to really break a screen

latent kiln

at all

#

its really not hard

should i trade my google pixel 8a for a nothing phone 2

viscid elm
#

up to you

#

but the 3 just came out

untold swift
#

ik

#

but i only have the 2 as an option

restive lion
#

I fucked up a screen once (it was still in the computer and I hit it with scaffolding)

viscid elm
#

also remember that is last year phone and i do not think it gets a lot of software support not fully sure tho rn

untold swift
#

plus if i do it im getting the nothing ear a for free

viscid elm
#

software support the reason you went pixel right?

The Nothing Phone (2) is designed to receive three years of Android OS updates and four years of security updates. This means it will get major Android version upgrades for three years from its release date and security patches for four years. The phone launched with Nothing OS 2.0 based on Android 13, and is expected to receive updates up to Android 16.

no i got it cuz i traded my cards for it and it was basically the only phone i could get

Pixel phones wouldn't be repairable at all without Google parts anyway, there's no even decent alternatives let alone good ones. iPhones have a huge amount of aftermarket parts available because they're so popular. Apple is a victim of their own success in that sense

vapid smelt
viscid elm
latent kiln
#

That's a part

#

Not a repair. You have to do it yourself

viscid elm
#

well yea

#

but the screen costs 99$

#

a real apple screen is like 200$ from apple or more

latent kiln
#

Oh, my bad, that was with the tools. Silly me, you can get it without the tools for $212.99!!!!

#

I don't know why you're arguing with me on this. What is your argument? Pixel parts are affordable?

latent kiln
#

There are some models that are $100 but that's essentially the bare minimum

viscid elm

I hate having a digitizer

The Pixel 8a screen repair is also a nightmare

latent kiln
#

I'm not saying "Apple good" I'm saying you fanboying for Google is not going to change reality

viscid elm
#

i hate google?

latent kiln
#

The reality is that Pixel parts very quickly outpace the sell price of Pixel phones

restive lion
#

Google and Apple both suck for repairs, 👍

latent kiln
#

And unlike Google, Apple at least allows you to replace your fucking charge port without soldering lol

#

Oh, you let your $1000 Pixel 9 Pro XL fall off your nightstand with the cord plugged in? Guess you gotta use wireless charging forever now

viscid elm
#

have they not paired that part yet

latent kiln

Apple has a very particular way of going about things and you wouldn't understand unless you worked with them for a long time

vapid smelt

And you still won't understand, you'll just be aware of it

viscid elm

they have a chip now

Someone remind me why we're arguing the phone repair tech on how phones are repaired

viscid elm
#

no clue

latent kiln
#

Wdym by touch and ID?

viscid elm
#

man just came in about that stuff

latent kiln
viscid elm

#

FaceID and TouchID are paired but you just transfer over the relevant parts

#

Since the iPhone 14 there's been virtually no risk to losing FaceID during repair

vapid smelt
#

I replaced and iphone 6,7 pixel 5a battery and iphone 7 and pixel 5a screen

latent kiln
#

They also made it so battery health works on unpaired batteries including aftermarket batteries

restive lion
#

There's probably like 5 people that actually care about it

viscid elm
#

one of the worst things apple did

latent kiln
restive lion
#

They dared to put their logo on a chip

latent kiln
#

I have been doing repairs on iPhones for 3 almost 4 years and I have never ONCE had to use a programmer. The worst thing that happens is you lose FaceID or TouchID if the front camera/sensor flex or home button, respectively, are broken

viscid elm
#

well those are 2 massive things on a phone

viscid elm
# viscid elm

i think that one is the chip they slap on their screens so you cant even reprogram it

restive lion
#

Who cares if you can reprogram it

latent kiln
#

Biometrics aren't essential to the functionality of the phone. I'm not saying Apple is right to lock them behind paired parts but my point is that it is almost never a problem.

there is also the tiny issue of apple using OLEDs now

#

there is a person in here that was i think just asking if it was ok or smn if he bought some broken apple phone slapped a LCD on it and did not say it was a LCD on a phone meant to have a OLED

#

like yea the price difference was some insane like 10X difference

#

i think the LCD was 20$ while the OLED 200$

Ok but can we come to a consensus that the 16e is trash

No shit

latent kiln

Every phone manufacturer uses OLEDs now pretty much

viscid elm
#

That was why we were all clowning I him

latent kiln
vapid smelt
#

Apple took way too long to switch to oleds

viscid elm
#

Also LCD tends to use more power so have a higher chance to damage the screen driver circuit

# vapid smelt Apple took way too long to switch to oleds

I think most people who buy iPhone are buying for the brand not performance, cuz my mom and dad have iPhone 12 pro max and they use it to watch yt videos, take pictures, and message, and you dont need lots of performance for those things.

Nobody is forcing anybody to buy a iPhone, just buy a android device if u dont like apple 🤷‍♂️

o yea i did the math, in Norway 12TB usable raid z1 of nvme storage costs as much as 40TB of HDD raid z1 storage

rain linden
#

Contrary, there’s no scenario where you need 36 TBs of SSD space

viscid elm
#

aka 4 4TB NVMEs vs 3 20TB HDDs

rain linden
#

If you’re not a data center

LTT has also filled up the petabyte server

rain linden
#

LTT is a look at me company. Let’s be honest and clear hear. It was a want more than a need

oak pier
#

Theres plenty of usecases for large amounts of ssds storage

#

To claim there isn't is ignorance

rain linden
#

There’s no real application for 36 TBs of SSD storage though

viscid elm
#

its funny i thought my 14TB server was a massive amount until i started using it, i have hit 80% so many times

There's even businesses that rent out spaces for LAN gaming events that need bulk, high speed storage

I really hope they do more of that soon

I mean, you kinda mentioned it, I was wondering if you had any particular example? I am not familiar with that particular business

oak pier

As i've linked previously in chat

no real place to get used HDDs in Norway

But is it really 36 TB of SSDs though? Or can it be done with a bulk storage and a fast cache?

anyone know why when i alt tab specifically any video that i full screen or just have in google or in the youtube app it kinda duplicates(like a ghost copy) the tab. but there is still only 1 tab

GPU power is so expensive

viscid elm
oak pier
#

LTT hosts whale lans, and plenty of people do similar stuff

viscid elm
#

imagine doing something like 100 gig to some main switch that does 25 then does to 10 gig for the users or something

winged spire
#

like... you can get old(2015) highend servers for dirt cheap with some decent CPU power but nothing remotely equivalent for GPU power

full fossil
#

Holy sheet yall house content

viscid elm
#

and at 100 gig you do really want to have SSDs

oak pier
rain linden
#

Some ssds id agree. But not 36TBs of ssds

raw cargo

spensive

oak pier
#

Fits my usecase perfectly

rain linden
winged spire
oak pier
#

single slot, slot power only cards that actually have 8+Gb of VRMA are hard to come by

winged spire
#

like you can get 8tb sata drives for what... 300? each

viscid elm
#

you know downloading games

#

updating drivers and their pc

oak pier
#

or the copious updates for modern multiplayer games

#

looking at you CoD

viscid elm
#

maybe even watching some videos that relese when they are there

rain linden
#

I got that part. Still. Doing 1 gig down for 500 pcs is not 36Tbs of cache

vapid smelt
rain linden
#

GGC servers don’t have half of that

rain linden
viscid elm
#

also its not like 1 pc with a 1gig means the max load the server could ever get is 1gig

raw cargo
winged spire
#

you keep saying that bro

#

I can order smoothrods to antarctica

viscid elm
#

imagine it like this, if you do the networking right and every person there only had 1 gig but they all downloaded at the same time that would be half a Tb of data that people are trying to download

#

ofc not a thing that will happen but that is why the server gets 100gig

winged spire
#

if your country has literally any form of functional mail system you can get any parts in any area

rain linden
#

What I am saying is that it 500 gigs of bandwidth in the worst case scenario

raw cargo
rain linden
#

That’s manageable. I kinda still stand by smaller fast cache and larger long term

winged spire
#

I can order linear bearings to the moon bro

oak pier
#

i could order a live walrus to central australia if i had the funds and the willpower

winged spire

you own a bambu so obviously youre able to order things from china

civic fox

# viscid elm long term?

My point through this discussion is that there are very limited numbers of use cases where you would utilize 36 TB of SSDs

#

Thus you most likely don’t need 36TBs of them

#

There’s a frequent use part and long term storage part. Anything outside of that is spending money in vain

viscid elm
#

so why are datacenters doing petabyte SSD racks?

rain linden
#

They are not

viscid elm
#

XD

raw cargo
#

I am still happy I didn't buy a core one cuz I need that build space but y'all are making me feel bad for even thinking about getting a 3d printer in the first place

rain linden
harsh quartz
rain linden
#

It depends on the server usage. If it is a file storage, there are absolutely changing SSD servers

sharp notch
rain linden
#

But generally data centers don’t do SSD mass long term storage at all

viscid elm
#

power saving

civic fox
rain linden
#

I did and it is negligible at the scale

rain linden
#

And I’m sorry but space is just not a concern

harsh quartz
harsh quartz
oak pier
harsh quartz
#

Yes

rain linden
#

I did

harsh quartz
#

And that space savings are negligible at scale, which, no matter what your talking about, that’s not how that works

oak pier
#

space and power are like the two biggest concerns for data centers

viscid elm
#

its at scale you can really see it

harsh quartz
viscid elm
#

the bigger it is the more everything needs to be same with power

oak pier
#

they make like 60tb 2.5in ssds, far denser than 22/36tb 3.5in drives

viscid elm
#

at small scale like us you do not really need to think about cooling or really space

oak pier
#

at large scale they want as much computational power per unit of space and unit of power as physically possible

viscid elm
#

but when you get to using like 30KW and you know MASSIVE spaces you also need cooling for it all and ofc power to everything and so on

rain linden

You as a commercial datacenter invest in higher quality storage based on your company needs. It is not always better to invest in the best option possible

viscid elm
#

latency

oak pier
viscid elm
#

how did i forget about latency

rain linden
#

And chances are you’re right

harsh quartz
rain linden
#

What I’m saying is it’s not always best to provide the best service possible. Because you’re not guaranteed to recover the initial investment in the tech

#

You can however always upgrade

harsh quartz
#

Except getting the worse option upfront and then upgrading still puts you out the cost of the upgrade, and in fact adds quite a lot to costs in the long run, cause you now have base costs, and upgrade costs, and maintenance/upgrade time, and any downtime the upgrade causes

viscid elm
#

the thing is, you can just run it until it is, SSDs do not get slower over time and they even at high loads can manage like 5 ish years or something before even failing

#

i wish bob was still here

rain linden
harsh quartz
#

It is interesting to see that we’re now getting data in on the reliability of modern SSDs and how good they are

harsh quartz
viscid elm
#

yes

harsh quartz
#

Honestly good, he was just a bit of an ass when it wasn’t needed

viscid elm
#

the main benefit of SSDs when it comes to use is the latency and speeds

rain linden
viscid elm
#

and ofc IOPs

vapid smelt
viscid elm
rain linden
#

The ones that ask for SSDs also usually pay for the whole server rooms

viscid elm
#

if you are doing ML with large datasets you are going to want it same with making it local, imagine doing 800Gb to another datacenter

rain linden
#

And they’re custom built for those clients

harsh quartz
viscid elm
#

you do not move a server

harsh quartz
#

Cause that’s the opposite of what you were implying earlier

raw cargo
#

Oh man I should have gotten the 9070XT rather than the 3D printer

#

No one would have judged me this hard if I did that instead

rain linden
#

Do I make sense at all?

raw cargo
rain linden
#

Gotta eep

viscid elm
#

so in short yes there are many people who can see a real benefit from using SSDs over HDDs

rain linden
#

For the most the benefit from them is not economically justified

#

Now please excuse me I’ve gotta order the new biggest and shiniest controller on the market right now KEKW /j

viscid elm
#

controller?

rain linden
#

PLC

viscid elm
#

o that

#

sad

rain linden
#

There’s this new Wago thing I want to get my hands on

rain linden
viscid elm
#

i had to learn electrician stuff for a year due to how norway does stuff

#

and we did PLC shit old and crappy with no real network automations

#

one even did a light show

rain linden
#

What PLCs you got?

viscid elm
#

and its not for me

rain linden
#

Cos seems like you’re traumatized lol

#

Ngl PLC class traumatized me too. But it was fun

frigid hound
#

what monitor arm should i get

viscid elm
#

uhm

#

you choose

frigid hound
#

idk good ones thoiugh

viscid elm
#

me too

rain linden
#

Are you willing to spend 200 bucks on it?

frigid hound
#

yeah

split swift
#

Why

frigid hound
#

also its fine if its not but i prefer stackable

viscid elm

after half a year there another person in the other class was setting up something and when testing he was wondering why it did not work, he forgot to fkn plug in anything in the AC end of the DC powersupply

rain linden
#

Theres a set of analog sensors in one of the rooms

#

They’re connected to a weird ADC

#

I genuinely am scared to unplug them. Nobody touched them in years

#

But the new sensors are there already so I’ve gotta figure that crap out

viscid elm
#

this year in school we had to reinstall windows on some computers

#

wanna know what the people did

rain linden
#

Sure

restive lion
viscid elm
# rain linden Sure

they just transferred the windows downloader onto the usb drive, did not flash the usb drive

rain linden
#

Hey, I did that when I was younger

#

Comes with experience

viscid elm
#

they were in one of the only classes in Norway that offers what that does

#

we were also told what to do

#

and it was not a test so we had access to the internet

#

and then ofc later on in the year we did have a test about it aaaannnd ofc they did not know what to do

rain linden
#

Hey did you know how to do it on the test?

#

Cos yk that’s the only thing that matters

#

Others losses don’t concern you if they don’t hurt you

#

If it sucks you’ve got a chance to make it better for them. Maybe pick up tutoring

viscid elm
#

its funny, during the exam i was allowed to be a teacher

#

no joke a part that really makes it count on the final grade i was helping out

rain linden
#

Then yh why not consider tutoring? Maybe ask for a small payment or idk a sandwich in return

It will better your class and give you a bump in understanding

viscid elm
#

im not really sure its a thing in Norway

#

at least nothing i see people doing here

rain linden
#

It’s a thing as long as you can say « hey, need help ? »

viscid elm
#

plan has been maybe doing youtube

#

not a lot of stuff like how to install windows in Norwegian

#

now that im going even deeper into computer stuff that i have been doing in here for the past like 3 years i might see if i can get some time to maybe just maybe work on tech support videos

rain linden
#

What are you studying?

viscid elm
#

translated its just called computer tech

#

from what i understand its gonna teach about CVE/malware networking and i dono computer stuff and something about UPS

rain linden
#

Is it a trade school or a university ?

viscid elm
#

Y yrke

#

Norway is strange

rain linden
#

Let me rephrase. Did you have to finish high school before enrolling

viscid elm
#

yes

rain linden
#

It might be a general computer science degree

#

What’s the next step if you were to continue the education?

viscid elm
#

o yea i forgot, the stuff i hate programming too

rain linden
#

Bachelors or masters

viscid elm
#

not a thing for that line

#

well kinda, we have the standard stuff like that where we can study even more

restive lion
viscid elm
#

ooooor after this i can go into actually working in data centers or tech support or anything like it

rain linden
#

Have you done any internships?

viscid elm
#

no

#

not really

rain linden
#

You should consider

#

If you are able

viscid elm
#

i do not think its a thing in Norway

#

it really is a culture shock

rain linden
#

If it is a thing in Russia it is a thing in Norway

#

Junior or Trainee

#

Are your keywords. If it’s your year 3 I suggest picking up an internship to gain some experience

viscid elm
#

we have apprenticeships

rain linden
#

Good

viscid elm
#

could be hard due to GDPR and such tho

rain linden
#

Gdpr has nothing to do with work

viscid elm
#

wat

rain linden
#

If you’re of age, pick up an apprenticeship. You’ll need work experience to get your first job. You can put « I build computers for the last N years » as your prerequisite for the apprenticeship

viscid elm
#

i still have school

rain linden
#

Im not saying full time

viscid elm
#

the main issue is even tho im in one of the biggest places there is not a lot of places that offer what i wanna learn or do

#

and if there even is a place they want people who can do full time

rain linden
#

There always is that one place

#

So the research. Look for what is in the same category

viscid elm
#

i have

rain linden
#

Doesn’t need to be exact match

viscid elm
#

ofc

rain linden
#

Come on then. I’m sure you’ll figure it out

#

But it’s imperative for what you wanna do

viscid elm
#

main thing im doing while waiting for something good is just working on stuff, im gonna do local voice assistant

#

20$ and i got myself a little M5 thingy just a esp 32 with a ok mic and speaker that i can use to talk to home assistant

#

and then the plan is to try my hand at active directory and making a self hosted website

grand rover
#

haiii

viscid elm
#

main thing i wish i could get some experience with would be mass management software or automation software like autopilot and the thingy i forgot the name of but that the place i was at for 2 weeks where i had to sign the GDPR thingy was using

#

anyhow just learning more, gonna also try my hand with PXE boot and that virtualization layout thingy some places do

rain linden
#

Gdpr is general data protection regulation

#

It’s a PID security standard in EU

viscid elm
#

well that was not the pain point i was making

rain linden
#

You can’t sign it physically

viscid elm
#

well i did not

rain linden
#

Im just confused what you meant

viscid elm
#

it was some kind of thing saying if i used any of the info i gained from being there for bad stuff they could nuke me

rain linden
#

Are you gonna do something bad?

viscid elm
#

well i cant now

rain linden
#

Were you planning on doing something bad?

viscid elm
#

na

rain linden
#

Then you’re fine

#

It’s a data protection clause so you don’t disclose the clients data most likely

This is not legal advice

viscid elm
#

anyways i wanna try and learn more stuff about whole company management software but its a bit hard alone and at home

viscid elm
rain linden

You can’t use the knowledge about the company against the company
