  • Unless you go once near a beach and a single grain of sand gets past the airtight bag the phone was in and the Totally-IP67-We-Swear phone chassis and is fucking destroys the screen from the inside, with a repair bill worthy of a new phone because “that kind of damage is not under warranty”.

    Source : happened to one of my best friends. Fuck you with a folding dildo, Samsung.




  • Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don’t want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can’t be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.

    Pros:

    • Easy setup, everything works out of the box
    • A lot of preinstalled gaming-related packages and tweaks, plus a lot of QOL improvements over Silverblue/Kinoite
    • Ready to game as soon as it’s installed
    • No updates, no maintenance! Full system images are downloaded and installed in the background and are applied at reboot.
    • Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.
    • uBlue projects are not distros but a delivery system, all the work is actually done by Fedora. No risk associated with a single-maintainer project like Nobara.

    Cons:

    • Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.

    Pro tip: don’t keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won’t launch.




  • It wouldn’t be insane, but it wouldn’t be advisable as a long term solution. USB-C charging ports invariably fail, mostly because of mechanical stresses. And when they do, it’s much more sensible to replace a 10€ expansion card than the entire mobo (or the entire laptop for the competitors).

    Besides, you don’t buy a FWL if you’re strapped on cash. You buy it as a gamble on the future to reduce your e-waste while keeping relevant. Plus, there are smarter ways to reduce cost, like buying your ram and ssd elsewhere.







  • Thanks for the lead! That might be it, I saw a big blob of goop leaking from it the first time I heated it. I’ll rebuild the hotend when I have time. There an extra nozzle in the kit.

    Edit:

    Four benchies

    Here is a comparison between an old benchy done with my Ender-3 and three with the SV-08. The surface finish with the Ender 3 is much more consistent and the PETG is a lot shinier. Maybe speed is a factor too. Shoud I try and slow the SV08 down a notch?
