I’ve gone from 15 years of PC, to a few years on console, then back to PC.

I enjoyed gaming on the couch, but I missed the modularity and multi functions of PC’s.
If Sony follows through with removing discs, then I’m probably gone from consoles forever.

Think we have the exact same fan.

Greased up the joint last summer and the high pitched whine has been gone since.

Good job!

Southern Norway is quite good for keeping stuff in the open.
Around 35% now, peaked at mid 50s in summer and much lower in winter.

Never really need to dry PLA/PETG, but TPU does need it.

I do run both AMS every once in a while, mostly to regenerate the silica tubs a bit.

I did have stringing on PETG once, but drying while printing was enough to solve it.

You’re not wrong in it being a fantastic app launcher, but it being locked down makes it useless for many, sadly.

Being able to sideload is crucial for me at least, and the day google locks that down on Android devices is the day I will build a mini-PC for the living room.

Because you’re not disabling it by not voting, but making every vote for the opposite side of your beliefs hold a tiny bit more power.

Why would you do that voluntarily?

Fiberlogy MattFlex has been awesome!
Also thumbs up for Add:North. Been really consistent with both PLA and PETG.
Filamentum is also really nice.

Yeah they have properties that make them desireable, like making them easier to print.

I just can’t get myself to play with them knowing the air and my fingers will be full of microscopic sharp particles. Maybe they do nothing, but I’d rather err on the cautious side.

Being downvoted doesn’t make you any less right.

That being said: I won’t be buying Bamboo again myself. The H2S is awesome, but my next machine will be RatRig/Prusa (European)or maybe even Snapmaker. Still waiting to see how they hold up after some more time, and if head swappers are better or worse than toolchangers like INDX.

Was looking for this before commenting. They are terrible creatures full of dissease. I’d pick them to be banished to hell instantly.

Then I could finally got hammocking in shorts without a full body inspection every evening.

I always thought of the CPU as the beating heart and the MoBo as the vessel/body.
At the same time: upgrading CPU often requires a new MoBo too, so I guess they are bound together anyways.

For the original question I’d say CPU + MoBo swap is a new machine. GPU and RAM are upgrades.

I was recommended rEFInd and it’s worked wonders. Never had another boot issue since, and I did like you: physically disconnected all drives except the one I wanted Windows on. Still messed up my boot settings.

Recommend you give it a try if you dare go again.

I physically disconnected all drives to force the EFI partition on the actual Windows drive. It still shat all over boot settings after the first major update.

Someone recommended I try rEFInd and it’s been great. No update has forced me back into the UEFI to set boot order since.

Might be an ASUS MB thing, I never figured it out or bothered afterwards.

Norway.

Would stay in northern Europe, central Europe at the most. Need my four seasons and I can’t stand weather above 25 degrees, so northern UK would work too I guess.

Wish I could deal with the heat better as there are so many fantastic places further south.

Hey man, it’s understandable.

We’ve all used Windows for years and years, and feel very comfortable with it.
Learning Linux feels like starting over again and is not tempting for many, and that’s ok.

Maybe you’ll try it in a few years when it’s even more streamlined for casual users.

Let me paint a picture for you, friend: you have a power outage while playing games. Your drive is corrupted (yes, this happened to me).
Sony has removed the game from their servers, and you just lost your only copy, as you have no way to back it up.
It is now gone forever, just like the movies they removed after selling.

You seem irritated that people push back at you, but they have valid points. Without a physical copy, you are no longer in control of the game/movie.

You also lose the ability to buy and sell used, which is a right you have with physical disks, but not with a digital license.

It’s ok to not care for physical media, but at least try to understand the point we’re trying to make. We want us all to have access to both digital and physical to choose freely. Why fight that when it’s a win/win for all of us?

Agreed.

I still keep and use my Windows partition quite often, and probably will for a long time.

I do find that more and more finds its way over to Linux though, which is very nice

I’m in this boat.

I don’t drink a beer every day, but probably 2-3 times a week, I crack one while making dinner.
Not for any buzz, just because I genuinely enjoy the taste.
If I’m out, it’s fine, and it also happens that I don’t drink any for a couple of weeks because I need to be able to drive the kids somewhere.

I rarely ever party and get drunk. At most a couple of times a year.

Yeah I’m no expert, but this looks like extrution issue to me too.

My H2S looked similar in one corner, as the bowden tube from the factory is a tad bit to short, so the feed was uneven when it was curved/stretched to the max.
Replaced it with a 3 cm longer one, and it worked fine again.

I’d try a cold pull, then smaller test pieces. No point printing the whole bed when the issues are everywhere. When it’s nice, test the whole plate.

Good luck!

Carbonara in Krakow, Poland.
It was authentic and tasted incredible.

The next few I ordered at «italian» restaurants had ham, cream, peas (!!!) and one even onions. I just stopped ever ordering it out and learned to make it myself, but the one in Poland will forever be in my mind.

Unless the meassurement in your strip is wrong, I’d guess like you two that something in the FW makes it draw slightly more at idle.

An easy way to test this is to revert to an older FW. Can be done easily in Handy.
If that fixes it, you know it’s the printer. If not, then it’s probably the sensor in your strip.

Good luck!
