Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I hate Republicans but our state Dems are pretty shitty at their job too.

Our cat does the same and I’ve noticed it’s more about getting our attention than actually sharpening his claws. He knows it’ll illicit a response out of us every time.

I don’t have IG either but I do know TheKitKiln is based out of Thangs.com. This dude used to go by BigBricks and had a ton of incredible Lego megafig designs before Lego and Disney sent him a cease and desist. His work is always top notch and all of his stuff is designed to work without AMS or glue.

This seems more like a server with a built-in NAS, but i agree it’s probably way overkill for most, though it seems like an awesome product at first glance. It’s like they took every component and cranked it up to 11. I wish we saw more of this in the consumer electronics segment and less “let’s strip or nerf everything we possibly can before sales tank. Our margins are so great this quarter!”

I have the OLED and have been mulling over getting the Switch 2 since games, to my knowledge, don’t appear to be developed for the Switch 1 any longer even though they’d probably work fine. It’s also weak as hell and regularly crashes when I try to play Minecraft with my kid, but I haven’t really bothered to look too hard at how much more performance you get out of the S2.

It almost looks like an AI generated face. Definitely uncanny valley territory.

I use one because I don’t know who I’m connecting to or who’s connecting to me.

This is one change (which isn’t the cause of OP’s problem) that they announced months ago. I’ve been using it for well over a decade and while I have had major issues with it in the past going so far as to setup Emby and buying a lifetime license for that, I would hardly say that they’re “constantly changing allowed abilities.”

Most people’s issue with them is that they focus too much on adding new stuff that nobody asked for while ignoring longtime bugs. I can’t recall a time they’ve ever locked anything behind a paywall that wasn’t a brand new feature prior to this.

OP has a misconfigured server and isn’t connecting to their server over LAN.

I imagine you’re going to want to find rips of the entire Bluray/DVD and not just the standalone special features. I believe some indexers/trackers will label these “full disc” but I’m not at home to double check that. Definitely sort your results by file size from largest to smallest because you’ll want to be looking at the larger file sizes in your search that include the whole disc, bonus content, subtitles, additional audio tracks, etc.

Why not 3D print something for it? I printed this to make a digital photo frame with a Pi 4 and the official 7" Pi touch display. https://www.printables.com/model/44218-7-touchscreen-case-for-raspberry-pi-4-internal-fan

Printing it with something strong should help keep it safe in an accident though you’ll need to create a mounting solution.

I’d argue it’s closer to hand made than manufacturing due to most people only having the ability to crank out small batches of prints as a side hustle. I still think it’s short sighted and wonder why other CNC devices aren’t also being banned like CNC routers, laser cutters, laser engravers, pen plotters, etc since these all use similar designs and mechanical systems. Where do you draw the line? I can understand only wanting hand made or vintage items but if technology is advancing past that and the market isn’t really there for those items, then what’s the purpose of the site? What are they going to tell both buyers and sellers that they’re not the type of clientele they want on their platform? That seems nuts as a business.

Interesting that just blasting metal with high speed metal particles actually offers structural support back to the metal. I wonder how the strength compared to a new piece of metal of the same thickness.

I wound up switching them from “automatic” to “live view” and now they display live images which seems better than snapshots updating every few minutes.

I’m not sure if it was an artifact from my previous configuration as Frigate added all new entities for the cameras, unless you mean some sort of bug with needing to wipe the whole card and start fresh rather than just swapping the entity IDs from Dahua to Frigate while retaining the same card.

That doesn’t really answer the question and also introduces issues with situations like Bambu’s Creator’s Program (or whatever it’s called) where you can pay the model creator for the rights to sell the item. I don’t see why they need to target 3D prints specifically when Etsy is absolutely chock full of similar duplicates in other mediums. They’re just going to drive people away to a new site, which is fine I suppose, but seems incredibly short sighted.

I went through the exact same situation with my 20 year old music collection and MusicBrainz Picard and unfortunately this is just the state of music piracy even now as things are rarely tagged correctly or come from compilation albums, sample albums, or are just obscure and don’t have the proper tags available on the service. This is why I don’t mind paying for music streaming even though I selfhost most other media formats because you can put in days of work tagging songs and still have a jumbled mess at the end (Picard’s tagging template is also a huge PITA to use with some obscure legacy language).

How do you prove you’re the creator of a model without directly handing your IP over to this company?

I have a 49 year old truck that was abused for much of its life and none of the gaskets or seals were this bad to replace either.

I know, right? The solution is out there.

Looks like he’s 75% hacked into the mainframe.
