  1. Luis Rossman made a video on this topic too, basically acknowledging what was previously written that it's not your typical SSD with controller. TL;DR: He's not mad at apple for this - at least not yet.
  2. Ultimate question: does it support M600 for filament change? Well, in this case chocolate refill
  3. I agree with Skywake, more APs where coverage is needed, with lower TX power is better solution. That's what you pay for when you buy wireless controller, being able to manage all of APs at once.
  4. I do not know situation in Canada, but here in Czech Republic it's already been "few weeks tops" since Prusa Research retooled portion of their 3D printing farm to spit out face shields instead of plastic parts for printers. It was supposed to be stop-gap measure to make few thousand shields until injection molding companies catch up. After 3+ weeks, 40k donated shields and another 120k waiting in warehouse to be transported, Josef got impatient and they invested their own money to have mold made because nobody else stepped up (much less from any governmental initiative). That's in a country with 10 million people, all these shields are being or will be used and re-used by medical personnel and related staff (nurses, EMTs, social workers, care givers ...). So much for "few weeks tops". PPE is extremely long run now. I get it, You don't like the fact that Linus was inaccurate in statements as to how the money will be used, and you'd much rather see it going to some charity directly than supplementing role what should had been filled by governments and failed = providing proper amount of PPE to medical personnel. While promoting their own brand.
  5. https://www.yeggi.com/q/ear+saver/ There's plenty of those if you look for ear saver. Best would be to consult with nurses you want to donate it to. People mostly print the NIH model, this one is also pretty popular as it uses fairly low amount of material and prints fast: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4251460 And here is even more interesting feedback from Facebook discussion in Prusa3D owners group: Hope it helps.
  6. Allow me to politely disagree. Finding FFP3/N95/whatever masks is nearly impossible right now, if you find those they are for vastly inflated prices and LMG is not big enough subject to be able to negotiate prices down. On top of that: hiring a person means there is one less person off of unemployment. Depending on their contract, LMG needs to pay government for that person, or that person needs to pay his/her own taxes and fees etc. Being hired means they have some income, which then goes towards buying things and services - and helping further down the line. Even if the job is just watching 30 printers, emptying plates, wiping them clean and clicking "reprint" - still better and much more meaningful than sitting home and collecting unemployment money.
  7. Great job guys! I never thought I'd see Prusa on LTT ... once this corona thing is over, do a video of Prusa factory tour where you see a farm of 3D printers printing parts for another 3D printers Regarding PETG sticking to smooth PEI sheets: Use window cleaner like Windex instead of IPA to clean sheet, it creates layer that's just enough to act as release agent. Or you can add a bit of talcum powder and polish it away with paper towel until no free powder if left on sheet. Works with other materials that weld to PEI surface too, like TPU.
  8. Ian Corzine posted an update on this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnvjuCTb54 TL;DR: Youtube is not offering "middle ground" (content aimed at general audience) that is an exception to FTC fines.
  9. I could see a use for this where I work, and Linux may actually be a plus rather than a hindrance. We use an old Asus EEE with Lubuntu as a portable console server when staging and preparing network devices or troubleshooting something without real Out Of Band Management connectivity. Connect it to a wifi, stuff USB ports with USB to serial adapters, SSH in and configure routers, switches + other active network elements before rack&stack or dispatch to final location. From comfy chair of office rather than being stuck in terribly lit storage room, or freezing inside extremely noisy datacenter floor. Granted, that's a pretty niche use. Other than that, I see it mostly for tinkerers. Had it had better drivers instead of usual proprietary binary blob, it could be used as "portable Pi in a really nice box" for whichever purpose can people come up with.
  10. Awesome intro guys, made my day! What the was going on with the CyberPowerPC "We do not give recommendations"? Is this some new policy in there? Before Christmas when shopping peaks? Offtopic: I am sorry but ... is ... is she really Janice from accounting? THAT Janice from accounting? The one who doesn't give a .i..? (Reference: John Oliver's Last Week Tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_x2Njn9J0)
  11. OK, so, there's a monitor that caught Linus' interest, is not very common, so I'd expect at least ... you know ... some kind of information about it when video is made. Just like with that cringeworthy non-review of Korean 3440x1440 Freesync monitor with (at that time) brand new Samsung panel, this video left many questions unanswered. 1. Freesync range? 2. Which DisplayPort standard it supports? 3. Which HDMI standard it supports? 4. PIP, picture by picture, ...? 5. Does it have scaler, how it behaves with lower resolutions, etc? 6. Overclockable? 7. Color uniformity, color output, backlight bleed, IPS glow, and other ... kind of important things for IPS panels? 5. Where to order, availability? Do not get me wrong, but this is getting more into "reality show" and not "tech information" territory. To make matters worse, half of video is dedicated to different product - without even telling basic things about it, like, for example, do those graphic cards even support Freesync to make video relevant in first place? Why even bother then?
  12. Yay competition! Intel finally pulled head out of its rear and brought some really nice CPUs. I already built Ryzen rig for myself, but I am all for advancing tech forward. What worries me though are temperatures. From Ars Technica review, they were barely able to hold CPU under 90 degrees Celsius with 280mm AIO, full load not OC. That's a bit concerning. While some coolers may perform worse, some better, would enthusiasts need to add 30 more dollars for delid kit if they want to keep temperatures at bay?
  13. It may not had been deliberate though, more like driver development team shifting their priorities somewhere else. Does this go for all of 38x.xx driver line, or did it get fixed with another driver update? In which case, if NVidia really broke the performance for example by requiring cards to have newer features in hardware, they should recommend older working drivers for download rather than new. Which also means there won't be optimizations for new games and ... yeah, obsoleting the card.
  14. To be fair, I bought 27'' 1080p for my mom. It has low PPI = "big letters", exactly what she wants. But that one is Dell IPS that costs 200 dollars less ($189). Freesync there is just a bonus.
  15. You just got considerably rare Apple console for 500 bucks and you did not even do a full teardown? Come oooon man curious minds need to know what's inside! Well, at least we got some real true unboxing. And 90s style title screen.
