I personally thought the race was good!! I felt bad with all the rain and assumed turnout would be trash there.... But on TV it didn't look bad! I think the rain added nice drama, and the product overall was really good! I'd hope for a second race in Chicago.
I personally found my self at one point watching SVG's onboard feed on YouTube and thought to myself, "Damn! It's pretty damn cool seeing the skyline right there through the whole race"
My first printer was a creality cr6 (kickstarter edition), and it's been absolutely fantastic. I use my printer to solve problems mostly by designing my own parts for things. My printers really are tools to me. My cr6 doesn't get used a lot, but I turn it on, run the auto level, and hit print. I've printed roughly 2000 hours with it, and I've had one jam, and zero failed prints (I've stopped a couple for various reasons, but I've never walked in to find a spaghetti mess). I upgraded to the community firmware, a dual drive extruder, and capricorn. Also, I print almost exclusively in PLA.
My second printer is a kingroon kp3s. I've printed very few parts with it. I got it as a toy, and plan to install klipper and just be able to print fast. I like the small for factor, direct drive, and linear rails. It's a decent printer, but it's not as "easy" as my cr6 (no ABL, and my bed seems to have a high spot right in the middle). The prints I've printed for testing are small, and the quality has been really good. I just haven't had a lot of time to play with it and really dial it in.
All this said... I'd by a mk4 in a split second for my use case. Again, as a tool that I turn on every few months, prusa is a known workhorse. My only complaint with my cr6 is it's slow... And the mk4 would take care of that.
Keep reading about Nix. I need to setup a vm and play with it I think. From what I've seen, the concept looks pretty cool.
I'm stoked for this race! I think the idea is cool, and I hope it works out! I heard on (I think it was) Denny's podcast that some extremely high percentage of ticket sales for this Chicago race are for first timers. That's good! New exposure is a good thing.
I'm mildly bummed at the drivers reactions to it thus far. When they've been asked, no one has seemed excited. Infact, most have said they've not done (at least prior to this week) any Sim time getting used to the layout. Maybe that's common? I don't know... But I would have thought for sure that a teams and drivers would want to be the first to win it...or...potentially...the only ones to ever win a street course.
Regardless. I'm hoping for a good show, and I hope drivers find they like it.
I echo these exact thought, except it was sync for me. Without question the most used app, always first to be installed a new phone, and had the designated spot on the home screen.
Makes me sad where things are going.
Switched to Lemmy, here. Just waiting on sync for Lemmy, and I'll be golden!!
Yeah! So unexpected. I mean... I obviously don't know the people, but man... Just didn't expect to be reading that news!
Haha! This is perfect!!
I'm currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP's. I'm slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I'm upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti's single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don't have that... And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I'm back tracking for more learning.
Win win! Made it up, cut some branches off, and was able to push the rest off the roof so the rest can be dealt with from the ground. I absolutely HATE heights, so it was arguably the least fun thing I've ever done.
But! No damage from the nearest I can tell! Got lucky for sure.
Nervous.
Had a tree come down on my garage lastnight. Sucking down coffee, grabbing a chainsaw and a ladder, and hoping for the best.
I think your thinking of a different event, but as a NH resident, I personally am OK with the fact that they waited it out.
