8 days agoI* want* to buy one. But:
- I’m mid cycle with my last laptop; and
- who the hell can afford to buy RAM for a new system these days?!?!

They are now one and the same…
I often recommend mailinabox for the same thing…
On android: have you tried Thunderbird with davx5 as the connector?
I have suggested people start with MailInABox and go from there…
I tried the ellis3d model and while I hadn’t got all my start macros together, first time I ran it I crashed the nozzle into the bed and gouged it.
Later attempts with a 0.6mm nozzle also gave me inconsistent and hard to read outcomes.
Instead, I use this two box method on opposite corners of the front of the bed:

Since then, coupled with the rest of the ellis3D tuning guide, my printer has been DIALLED…
Check your z offset, first layer squish and extrusion multiplier, then pressure advance.
That looks like too much filament or too close to the bed. Some of the edge artifacts could be pressure advance as well.
I spent a year chasing those problems out of a printer, and had hundreds of FL tests that looked just like that.
If you’re interested, Ellis 3D tuning guide is amazing. (I use a different pressure advance calibration method, but the rest has been bang on for me…)
I dipped my toe in the s76 pool with a fully specced lemp10.
It was by far the best Linux experience I’ve had on a laptop to date, but I still ended up back on an m2 mbp…
2 killer issues were:
- finding realistic personal replacements for fusion360 and Affinity Designer. (freecad and inkscape just aren’t for me); and
- The hardware just worked together better on the Mac (BT, audio, screen, WiFi, networking etc…).
I’m planning on taking my m2 mbp to asahi once the fingerprint scanner is working and dual booting for cad and vector graphics apps if I can’t get crossover versions working.
Net:Net I want to like s76, but the LEMP ended up basically the same price as the MBP and the Mac hardware was vastly superior (screen, audio, power management, etc)
I’ll try Linux again on my next laptop purchase again…
Only 395?!?!

Maybe you forgot to mentally insert: “Florida Man says:… <quote>”?
I don’t upload my photos to the cloud, and don’t use the search function. It’s just a photo library app on the phone. It seems to do a better job of post processing the pics from my Pixel, which is why in use it.
It let’s you run Google Photos without network permissions and with storage scopes limiting it to certain folders.

A long but very worthwhile read for anyone wanting to understand the electrification industry.
2·5 months agoI spent a year trying to get my Prusa factory assembled mk4s to print properly. Prusa support even eventually sent me a full replacement printer that had the EXACT same problem out of the box.
I returned it, bought an LDO Voron kit for a 2.4 350mm and haven’t looked back.
The kit had pre made harnesses, which was 100% the right move for me.
(Incidentally, the drawers for my desk I was trying to print on the Prusa originally are now printed and finished on the Voron, and working great…)
I hear you. My philosophy changed about 20years ago when Apple switched to Intel:
Mac laptops are expensive, but I regularly get 4-6 years from them without too much drama if I simply max out the ram when I buy them.
My thinking of my eventual move to Linux full time, a Framework or System76 machine costs similar to a Mac, and use the same Max ram philosophy.
I just wish the build quality was just a bit better for the price, but I’m willing to trade a little for user serviceability…
