  • Do NOT buy Creality

  • Wow, that is somehow even worse. 😯

  • Do NOT buy Creality

    Jump

  • Well, tbh, I'm not familiar enough about K1, is the hardware open source? If so, can you compare the parts? If you have some vastly different model to the current one, perhaps you have a preproduction or an early rev? It may be that you need to convert a lot of it to the new style. I don't know where you could ask for help, but some bigger community may help you better. Reluctantly, I suggest trying reddit, perhaps there, someone has gone into similar issues. At the very least, it may attract creality's attention, and they may help you to avoid bad press.

  • Do NOT buy Creality

    Jump

  • My only advice is - don't give up. A good thing is there is a cheap and usually reliable way to fix this. Some combination of parts will work, but you will have to do a lot of research and/or trial and error. You will then be a lot more knowledgeable to fix your printer in the future. This is in contrast to buying a printer like bambulab, where everything works out of the box, but it will cost more upfront. I've already worked with a bunch of creality printers and know how to solve most of the problems, so I will choose the more open source and cheaper route every time, but it's not for everyone, or even most people. You already have a creality printer, so it may make sense to try to fix it. But also, at one point, you may value reliability more than cost.

  • Unfortunately, creality has always been known for this sort of stuff and the sad part is they have not improved at all. Just last week, I had a friend buy a used ender 3 neo. Mainboard has 4.2.2 version, you'd think that would be a u useful information. But turns out - there is a silent and a non-silent version of 4.2.2. So firmwares are not compatible. But I found out not all 4.2.2 are even with the same mcu - some have stm32 and some gd32 (a clone). So my friend - being inexperienced, upon finding that EEPROM setting saving was not enabled by default, promptly flashed the wrong firmware and bricked the printer. I helped him flash klipper, he's printing again. But creality has been mixing and matching parts with no tracking or any logic or reason since forever. I thought they will up their game after bambu pressure, but apparently not.

  • What your Linux Desktop says about you

  • Wow, not even a bar/swaybar/waybar. That's radical, alright.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • And even if you can - is it worth it? I mean - do I care and should I care? Is the point of music detecting every detail of the recording or can I appreciate it without paying that much attention to production? For instance, I find it much more convenient to use Bluetooth headphones as it allows me to move around the house. Flac immediately stops being relevant, as Bluetooth codec is really bad compared to almost any codec. I recently tried ldac codec on my headphones - couldn't really tell the difference. Mp3 128kbps is just fine for me. Almost any situation. I care about musical content much more than production details. Other people might care more. I don't.

  • Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...)

    Jump

  • Yeah, but notepad++ was recently hacked and been compromised. An unfortunate timing.

  • Razer account “Human Verification” promotes World ID biometric verification

    Jump

  • BTW, Tools for Humanity is another Sam Altman startup, that also has World Coin crypto currency and wants to scan human irises for human verification. Razer was one of the first endorsers. The whole thing walks like a rugpull scam and quacks like a rugpull scam.

  • What's a Linux distro thats breaks the windows mold and is good for testing?

    Jump

  • You can try Niri - it is a tiling, scrollable wm, a lot easier to use than i3, I'd say half way between i3 and a full de.

  • Tesla's own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor

    Jump

  • You're, right, I misremembered. In my defense, lidar is a kind of radar and in this context, the point of the commenter still stands - they had hw that could improve self driving, but chose vision-only on purpose.

  • You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift

    Jump

  • I'd say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can't, for whatever reason. So walking back won't bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they'll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

  • BMW struggles to keep up with demand as new iX3 sells out through 2026

    Jump

  • Very strange looking BMW, but still better than giant beaver teeth it kept growing in the past. And still pretty recognizably BMW.

  • Tesla's own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor

    Jump

  • Tesla had lidar before, they decided to switch to vision-only control, presumably for hardware cost saving, but I read that this was musks decision ultimately, despite the pushback. The model s's that had the hw on board simply stopped using it after an update.

  • Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

    French newspaper : Many Germans have a deep relationship with combustion cars. For them, buying a quiet electric car is emotionally hard to accept.

    Jump

  • Many Germans - dozens even! I mean, you will always have internal combustion enthusiasts and that is ok - they should be free to practice their hobby so long as they don't bother others too much. But I imagine they would daily drive an ev on most days if they found it more convenient and drive their hobby cars on special occasions.

  • Not impossible, but I use bursts of about 30s max, it doesn't even get overly hot. Otherwise, something even scarier can happen - it may case harden 😮. Jokes aside, I've only done it for very specific occasions, perhaps a few times in my whole life. I'd invest in a kiln or just buy dry lumber to start with.

  • It's hard separating a country/regime from people. One could argue regime is elected by the people. Things are not that simple, but it is the simplest way of reasoning, and thus a way most people will use when faced with such a decision. Yes - I agree, blame the system, not the people, but someone needs to be held accountable for the system as well. But further - if ever Americans need saving, they will likely need saving only from themselves, I think it's unlikely they will ever be jeopardized by anyone other than other Americans.
