Yeah, they’re called Felons, not illegals!

You literally are walking around with a supercomputer in your pocket, with the entirety of human knowledge at your fingertips in a moment’s notice.

Stop expecting that you need to buy every shit new product, and literally just stop. Tech is fine, it’s the people who constantly get roped into ‘fashion tech’ that are the problem. Buying a new phone because if you don’t you won’t look cool, etc.

I got an Android phone from 2018, and it still works as good as ever. I still play modern games on a desktop PC, and uBlock Origin/Firefox means I never see a single ad. I don’t use applications with ads. You shouldn’t either. Start focusing on swapping yourself over to F/OSS stuff, and this world you’re so frustrated over – it goes away. Just stop consuming everything.

You should engage them in debate though. The people who need to do so are always such cowards that they’d rather ban and run.

It’s easy as fuck to outmaneuver one of those dipshits. And it’s funny as fuck when they stomp off mad because you made them look like an idiot.

Anyone is welcome to read the instructions. Tell me that doesn’t look like a nightmare for grandma to set up.

When a shop takes one back for a blatant defective part, do they send it to you?

Yes - we constantly bought “defective” ones off of Ebay through an Amazon merchant program. They’d have shattered glass beds, or a missing idler arm, but I’d say 49/50 times, they were just misassembled. We’d purchase them for $40/ea, spend 5 minutes on them, and sell them for $150 properly assembled. Many of those people are still printing on the same Ender today, because a properly built old Ender 3 is a workhorse. You can’t rely on people with no electromechanical knowledge to put together a literal manufacturing robot.

When that non-glass filled, poorly casted brass geared extruder breaks and it’s an easy-enough $15ish dollar swap, does it cone to you?

Yes. I have people drop their machines off and pay me the repair fee for a fan swap. For the silliest small things, constantly. Not only that, but this particular issue with Ender 3’s was almost invisible, as the problem area existed under the arm idler, and if you didn’t know what you were looking for, you wouldn’t catch it. All you’d know is that you were having problems “leveling the bed” (as my customers always claimed) or “couldn’t get it calibrated”.

I repeatedly said, that was MY experience. I won’t recommend them to anyone until I see major changes in their hardware.

They literally have and I’ve been telling you that this whole time… The Ender 3 v3 comes with dual belt-sync’d Z, sprite extruder, dual auto leveling probes, proper linear rails on the bed, USB support, on custom extrusions. And I come to you with the experience of thousands of other Creality purchasers.

You’re literally, purposely not listening here. You’re comparing a machine that came out nearly 8 years ago to a modern one, and refusing to compare the modern one, with ANOTHER modern one. You simply cannot compare the vanilla Ender 3 - a GENERATIONS old machine, with a machine designed and sold within the past year. The Ender 3 v3 SE can be had for around $180-200 on Amazon. And it solved all the issues you’re complaining about. But here you are, FESTERING on like a cancerous boil because you can’t be bothered to listen to what a professional is telling you.

THIS is what I’m talking about. YOU are Creality’s problem here. An inexperienced, uneducated user, who purchased what was at the time an enthusiasts machine, crashing out hard, and then bitching for all of eternity even after the machines have been fixed. Creality isn’t bad any longer. They did exactly what you said they needed to do for you to stop giving them shit, but here you are giving them shit.

OF COURSE a 8 year old machine is shit compared to a 1 year old one. That’s why I literally said not to get an older generation Ender. Your “experience” (and by that I mean lack-thereof) echos all the other new to the hobby people that walk in my store. You landed in the same shit they did. Literally a textbook case of you not knowing what was going on. And Creality will be bashed by you forever, because you - like everyone else - seemingly can’t be arsed to learn, and instead blame it on whatever you’re doing at the time.

Yeah, sideloading it requires getting a development code from the company, jailbreaking your machine, then installing a full development environment…

Not what I’d call user friendly.

Meanwhile, on something like the FireTV stick, if someone gives me the URL to an APK, I can install it.

This was not what I thought it was going to be when I initially downloaded it. Unfortunately it’s existence is just an example of the stuff that exists within the broader topic of ‘anime’ which hinders wider acceptance. I really wish it existed under its own category somehow; as people point to this any time someone mentions the topic - and it’s embarrassing on a wider scale, as it’s mostly shut-ins and incels which enjoy this kind of thing. The fact that it’s getting a second season is only testament to the growing social problems that exist on a wider scale.

LG WebOS doesn’t have good support for things like Jellyfin. If you want to ever build a library of media and let them have easy access to it, then WebOS is gonna suck, so will Samsung’s Tizen. But all the Android TVs have access.

Don’t know if you’re interested in that kind of thing, but figured I’d share it in case it was a factor.

The only other alternative is a commercial display.

Turns out, when you don’t pay people for their work, they don’t have funds to go out and do things. Weird how that works, isn’t it?

I low-key love this. I usually put on the lane assist and cruise control and just kinda zone out and vibe to the music I’ve got on.
