I think the fact your library has one to borrow is the absolute best part of this post!

Any straightforward way to share GPS position from a Pixel phone to Pixel tablet? in c/graphene_os

Not AFAIK. I think you'd have to get an external Bluetooth or USBC GNSS/GPS receiver with android support maybe?

See: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/4254

I spent 3 months working with support, they replaced just about everything related, eventually sent me a whole new printer, and the new one had the exact same issue out of the box.

It starts too low consistently, so filament builds up constantly till it drops and ruins the print.

I can't print anything bigger than 20cm² without it dropping a giant blob somewhere in the print and ruining it..

Always perfect first layer is not real, and my experience is that they are distancing themselves from the promise they made when the mk4 was announced.

FWIW, I've been a long time Prusa user, but I'm returning my Prusa mk4s and wouldn't buy one ever again.

Worth looking at https://www.halocell.energy/

They have a solution where they overlay perovskite cells over traditional PV and can augment collection without impacting the regular PV underneath...

Australia peer ADHDers. How do you stay functional in this weather? in c/adhd@lemmy.world
[–] snrkl 6 points 1 month ago

I use routines and exercise "streaks".

A 30min morning walk does wonders for my mental clarity and work drive.

Secret for me is to get a "streak" of contiguous days ive walked, and be really focussed on not losing the streak... Gets me up, out of bed, dressed and out for my walk.

Everything is easier after that...

My ceiling fan was too slow, so I fixed it in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world
[–] snrkl 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've learned that if it is just the top speed that is slow, it's a replacement capacitor behind the light switch.

If all speeds are slow, it's the whole fan to be replaced.

(We live in a warm place, and fans run 24/7 in some of our rooms, so we go through this process at least yearly for at least one of our fans)

Be careful. I've heard tells / seen posts that seem to indicate there are now monitors that tap your USBC to get network, and display ads.. 🫠

It was Flashforge Adventurer 3, and was $600 AUD, this was all pre COVID.

I turned the solar panels back on today (self.dull_mens_club)
 

I turned them off before the recent inclement weather as advised by our local council.

I meant to do it last week, but I kept forgetting.

I turned the DC and the AC back on in the reverse of the order suggested for turning them off.

I watched the panels from across the road for a bit, to watch for anything obviously amiss. (I assume sparks, smoke and fire to be the obvious problems to watch for). We didn't and up getting hit by the terrible weather event, so I wasn't too worried.

The panels seemed to come up ok.

Prusa Mk4 or Mk4s first layer issues (lemmy.sdf.org)

Is anyone else having HORRIBLE problems with their Prusa Mk4 or Mk4S first layer quality...

My mk4s developed a problem that Prusa spent 3 months troubleshooting with me where the first layer is being laid down too close, and so filament blobs, then prints fail.

Eventually, they advance replaced my whole printer, and the new one had the exact same problem out of the box..

I managed to find a bug that was raised on github for this exact issue, with 22 other people registering "mee too" for the issue..

I'm just looking for some feedback from the wider community to see if any others have hit this problem?

I bought a new lawn mower. (self.dull_mens_club)
 

It is self propelled. It took me a quarter of the time to do our lawns as it normally does, so I had time to trim the hedges...

I'm making some drawers to go under my desk (self.dull_mens_club)
 

My desk is very messy. I thought it was just "average" clutter but a colleague made a comment the other day that changed my feelings on it.

I have a sit/stand desk, so I need drawers that can attach to the underside..

I've decided to design some and make them with my 3D printer. I have to split it into 4 parts as it is too big to print it all in one go.

I've printed three of the parts, and just restarted the 4th print as it failed aboit an hour into the seven hour print job.

Mowed the lawn today.. (self.dull_mens_club)

We've had weeks of alternating torrential rain and super hot sunny days that have both prevented me from mowing, but super charged the lawn growth at the same time.

The lawn was almost a foot long after not being able to mow it for 14 days due to the weather.

I had to empty the catcher on the mower every 10ft, and I made so many trips back and forth to the green waste bin with the catcher, I got my 8000 steps for the day.

It normally takes me an hour to mow the front and back lawns, but today it took me three and a half hours. The last two hours were in the dark, and I had to mow with a pair of torches...

It's nice that it's done now, but I'll have to mow again within the next 5 days.

I got new glasses (self.dull_mens_club)
 

I've evolved from bifocals to trifocals. I didn't pick new frames, as Iike the ones I had before, so I just got the same frames again. I got these ones with lenses that go dark when you wear them outside and clear when I come back in. This means I'm not constantly swapping glasses when I come inside, or go outside...

Dog training is going well... (lemmy.sdf.org)

The dog is almost 17 months old, and her training is coming along well. She has had a strict rule where she's not allowed on carpeted floors or on any furniture. This was to make sure she understood it was a privilege, and only when invited. I let her up on the outdoor furniture for the first time today. She's liking it, and sitting calmly with us...

I've figured out why I like it in here so much... (self.dull_mens_club)
 

Reading posts from this community pleases me in ways I have struggled to explain or define.

Until I realised...

The dull men's club is is the antitheses of the escalating deluge of drivel from self dubbed "influencers" on social media.

This community celebrates the every day but does it without the hullabaloo of attention grabbing junk we are surrounded by these days. It does it quietly in a dignified manner... and I find that.... comforting...

Also: I cooked bacon and egg breakfast for our teen kids and all their friends this morning. I cleaned the kitchen before sitting down to eat my own breakfast. I decided to clean first, as this way I get to sit down and not get back up. Cold breakfast was a small price to pay for being able to drink my coffee and read the news, knowing the kitchen is done, and I don't need to get up again....
