Just research ahead and don't buy one with a known hardware defect such as the 5As which are notorious for frying motherboards and screens. Went through 5 of them with the extended warranty over my phones life and they all died while in my hand abruptly. Less than a year or life per device almost always failing around 8 months for me.
If grapheneOS wasn't so damn good I would've left pixels after that, Pixel XL abruptly died, 2XL had both cameras and the fingerprint sensor die out of nowhere, then the 4 5As. On an 8a right now and love it so fingers crossed it lasts!
If they had a user repairable device that ran it I'd buy it in a heartbeat
This is pretty great advice to get into it. I previously ran 3 poweredge 2950s but have since switched to nothing self hosted and back to everything self hosted but on a much leaner setup with a NUC and 14tb WD my book drive with a dual Noctua 4020 fan shroud I 3d printed that it absolutely needed as I killed the original drive in two weeks.
My replica is just a 14tb in my desktop I run rsync to pull the data occasionally after checking SMART status on the primary. It's not versioned or perfect but it works great to give me a chance to backup my jellyfin media. Everything I care about also gets backed up via restic.
Eventually plan to run a build with the Modcase MASS with multiple drives but for now this setup has been working fantastic.
Definitely keeping me far away from upgrading, newest vehicle is an early 2000s Corolla and still does 40mpg.
Honestly with how cheap and easy it is to fix at home, barring safety improvements I really don't see a point in upgrading. Infotainment is just another component that will eventually go obsolete like the ones from ~2010 that are dog slow and a pain to go aftermarket on.
Adding to this, automatic plate flippers exist and are pretty popular for show cars to display something else when parked. Typically wired to ignition so it shows your plate only when the cars running.
Issue is if you street park dependent on the state, if the vehicle registration is hidden by the plate being flipped they can likely tow it. Would work great for at work/in your driveway though. Could maybe just have a bypass switch for if you need to park somewhere and display the plate.
Still a pain in the ass that it's this bad though.
I just use nextcloud as a target for backups (Aegis, Signal, QkSMS). Apps such as KeePassDX I have load the file via nextcloud. My contacts and calendar go through it as well, photos are just set to auto upload along with a few other directories.
As for the home screen layouts, I just take screenshots once I have it how I like and try to remember to take them again if I change stuff.
It's not a full backup but I'm back up and running fairly quickly (Pixel 5A died on me 3 times in under a one year lifespan per device).
They used to dominate the consumer market prior to Ryzen so might have something to do with it but I got no evidence lol
if it's non combat that gun should never come out, they aren't supposed to be a deterrent but I guess that's what he's going for with this goofy look lol
I don't own Prusas but I migrated from super slicer to prusaslicer and being able to cut models and add locating pegs easily is such a game changer for larger parts
Me after getting those dumbass Canary cameras that cost $200 a piece then they completely wrecked the free tier then started giving them away for free to get more subscribers.
Wyze cams with wz_mini_hacks firmware offline in a VLAN with Frigate and Home assistant from here on out!
Really depends on the make, you can get Mitchell and AllData prior to the subscription model (takes about a TB of space, from 1980s to 2013) to help with diagrams and disassembly and reassembly. Mitchell's wiring diagrams really are a lifesaver.
Dealer level software/scanner combo you can get from obdii365, I got a Hyundai scanner from them and it worked well but you want to run the software in a VM or isolate it some other way and probably wouldn't network it.
Vxdiag is pretty solid as well for the dealer software/scanner and you can usually get via Amazon but again I wouldn't trust the software. I have their ford one and used it with IDS to set the VIN on an electronic power steering rack.
The software itself you can find via Google if it's all you need but typically the scanner is very specific to the software for the dealership stuff
Be careful depending on the model, some of those run hot. I managed to kill one in under 2 weeks just by copying a large amount of data to it and had to print a fan shroud for it's replacement to keep the temps at a reasonable level.
ADP, Chase, Amex, Citi, and my small credit unions apps all work. I think I had to turn that compatibility option on for Amex to get it to launch but no issues other than that.
I would never go back from qubes. VirtualGL seems promising for the hardware accelerated apps and GPU passthrough for a gaming VM is insane
I use iptvini since it's pretty cheap ($80 for 2 years). For us it's really just an easy way to watch some sports, running the arr stack and Jellyfin so any shows we're watching just go through that since ads on TV suck lol
Can connect with Infuse to your server, swiftfin has a ways to go to be ready for primary use
Adjust your thumbstick deadzone if you haven't yet, the default is super high I run mine at 2000 and it made them feel a lot more responsive.
I like to have gyro aim only when I touch the right track pad, playing through Halo MCC right now and it's fantastic, especially using turrets with gyro. Thumbstick for general movement, track pad and gyro for combat.
We're using the grunt party skull where you get the party sounds and streamers when you headshot them and I'm able to pretty consistently nail them after a few missions with that setup.
Not using any auto aim
You probably unknowingly break multiple laws a day settle down
I see no reason to not use both. Got a show you're watching that has new releases? Have Sonarr track it and auto download them as they release. Want to try a new show but not sure you'll like it or just a single season? Debrid.
I will say, Jellyfin with Infuse on apple tv is rather easy to use for non technical people where they would struggle with stremio a little more.
Still a far cry from the early XBMC/Kodi days where you had to manually try like 20 sources before you could watch both options really are great
Leave what
Is there a viable method or company to recycle failed prints or prototypes? I've been keeping all of my PETG stuff in a box, still a way to go before it's full but was curious if anyone had any experience here whether it be something diy or shipping them to a company.
