I’ve never had a need to burn a blu-ray. When bd-r’s hit the scene with their obscenely priced recording drives, it was only maybe a year or two before flash memory had already become cheap and fast enough that any volume of data large enough to justify a BD was better served on a 16/32gb thumbdrive unless it needed to be distributed in volume, and I’ve never needed to make enough identical copies of something to justify the $200-$300 that the first drives cost.

It sucks losing an option but I actually doubt most anyone will notice. 3rd party manufacturers will keep making disc’s for a while anyway, Sony is far from the only company doing this technology.

If you’re wondering why everything collects downvotes, in this comm, I’m pretty sure this sub gets brigaded by a few FuckCars people from the all page.

I have a magic little box sitting in my garage that allows me to dream up a weird little device, create it on a computer, convert it to a big pile of computer code automatically, hit “go” on the magic box, and come back in 4 hours to a hunk of plastic in the exact shape I dreamt up only a few hours before. A shape and functionality that had never before existed on the face of the earth.

Ya, 3d printing feels pretty futuristic.

“forsaking the rule of law” for something that was never a problem and was used in the state for DECADES… until the conservatives lost, then it’s a big problem, hmm.

Yup. My dad’s F550 haul truck goes through steer tires about every 15k miles. The alignment’s fine, it’s just SO MUCH weight on the front having a full size 7.3L plus the commercial chassis frame that they wear quickly from fighting the road crown with a trailer behind.

Good real horchata from the skeeviest hole in the wall mexican restaurant you can find is god tier in the summer

Also fuck this website, it has one od those 3-redirect landing pages that stops you from using your back button.

This is a very good start. It will have limited effectiveness depending how exactly wet the filament is though, as the diffusion speed of water in plastic is low and it takes time to get the water actually out of the center to the surface to evaporate. The few minutes a filament sits in the inline dryer might be OK for surface moisture but will fail with wetter spools.

I think the ideal system would be to have a dry box that the heating unit and fan blow into, but then feed the filament out to the printer through a “stove pipe” that acts as the dry box exhaust. This way you’re still drying the whole spool over time but then get that “final blast” to ensure the surface is as dry as possible. Make sure to insulate all walls such that you reduce how much heat you lose as the air passes through.

Damn. Proton is doing a good job of stacking up W’s these days.

I’ve seen at 48 minutes.

Congratulations on your new fame… or your very good night’s rest
