In the 90s, before I learned Spanish, it was Macarena

Very nice. Could definitely use that. I've got the same Ender as pictured, so def seems worth $10 and would pay for itself using up the tiny leftover bits on various rolls i have.

What's the benefit? Does it pause the print to let you swap filament? I've often wondered what to do with the last bit of filament on the roll that isn't enough to do much of a print, and if so, that seems like it would help.

Talk to the hand! Cause the face ain't listening.

They do, and I tried it, but it keeps crashing after completing a request (even a simple GET). Could just be that it doesn't like the Orange Pi it's running on, but other extensions work fine. I'll try it in VSCodium later.

I want to include this in the "cybersecurity tips" email newsletter thing we have to send out every quarter. 😆

Veren zol fun dir a blintse

Pretty decent unless there's a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don't work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don't work great on any Android phone either lol).

Feels sluggish at times but that's just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that's also an e-reader.

If you need a good read, I highly recommend "Deep Space Nine: Millennium" trilogy. Weyoun is the big bad, naturally, and he's got all the smarm we know and love with a heaping helping of religious zealotry on top (he's literally Kai Weyoun in the book and is the combined worst parts of Kai Winn and Weyoun (except Weyoun 6).

I've always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.

 

A fascinating look back at the potential 'Star Trek' sequel TV show includes some incredible imaginings of what the new USS 'Enterprise' may have looked like.

The existence of Star Trek: Phase II—the plans for a Star Trek continuation series in the mid-1970s that eventually gave way to Star Trek: The Motion Picture—has been known for a very long time at this point. We’ve seen concept art, we’ve seen story ideas, and we’ve seen it for long enough to see how those nuggets have gone on to influence the Star Trek that we would go on to get for another 50 years. And yet, there’s still plenty to enjoy in this new documentary about the bumpy road Star Trek almost made on the journey home back to our screens.

 

My only complaint about the Ro Laren episodes is that there weren't more Ro Laren episodes.

 

Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.

 

Saw Goldeneye posted earlier. Sticking with the 90's Bond theme theme.

 

Peg: You know, you've got a lot of nerve. Did I come over to your house when you won the Women in Banking award?

Marcy: Yes, you did! And you stole a whole chicken!

 

Experts say that if the new drug gets approved, it may lead to a big shift in how we treat the condition.

For decades, the primary treatment for sleep apnea has been continuous positive airway pressure (or CPAP). Before bed, those with the condition put on a face mask that is connected to a CPAP machine, which keeps the airway open by forcing air into it. The machines are effective, but many find them so noisy, cumbersome or uncomfortable that they end up abandoning them.

Now, a more appealing option may be on the way, according to a news release from Apnimed, a pharmaceutical company focused on treating sleep apnea. On Wednesday, the company announced a second round of positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for a first-of-its-kind oral pill that can be taken just before bedtime to help keep a person’s airway open.
