If you need a cheap printer, imo buy a used unit and upgrade and repair it
Because something like an ender 3 new would need to be tinkered with either way

I'll have to come back to pick up the backpack lmao

Hey guys. I have another interesting problem to see if you can help with.
I just built a PC with an MSI MPG B650I Edge Wifi motherboard

Both the red light for the CPU is on and the yellow light for DRAM (or vice versa I can’t remember) but I can’t figure out why they’re both showing up. I’ve tried resetting the CMOS and I have tried seeing if it needed to train the memory like some videos have suggested but still no progress. Any ideas?

lol at this point, the pihole thing is running fine so heck it
hoary zodiac
ok debian based is still better then
but if you want to daily drive linux
I'd used an arch based distro
idle nexus
ah okay
hoary zodiac
imo arch is a lot more user friendly than debian
and it all comes down to the wiki and package manager
idle nexus
ya this is just so pihole will stay running all the time without all the windows bloat & updates bs taking it offline
hoary zodiac
yeah if you want stability use debian
arch is great for regular use but it can break
do not use manjaro tho
idle nexus
I got greedy & tried to add a network drive to put crap on so I can move it off of here
hoary zodiac
manjaro is really janky
endeavouros is probably the best plug and play arch based distro atm
idle nexus
I kinda like ZorinOS but I have no idea whether it's arch, debian, or redhat? I guessed on that last one lol

ubuntu apparently

you might be able to find it that way but that won't help with the S/N tbh

yeah I'll try to RMA it next month
It's a good drive
better than samsung 980 slop
It's a 4TB drive too so
I have a lot of incentive to get it RMA'd

for real that must've been pricy

put it in your desktop tho & find something cheaper that runs cooler for your laptop lol

Our bill with Comcast was like $120 or $140 and we got like 1gig down and 20mbps up. Now we pay like $50 or less. It honestly might be the 1gig plan but I think we chose 2. Either way, at the cost saving ply performance difference, I’m not too worried about maxing out.
