led lights almost always run off rectified, smoothed supplies, so no flicker. i have one cheap old crappy bulb that doesn't, and i can definitely perceive the flicker. it's almost nauseating.

i love the idea, but everything i know tells me that replacing one cell in a series parallel array with a fresh one is a bad idea.

over it's life, a battery's capacity and internal resistance change, so it's not only important to match batteries in a pack by exact type, but also condition. otherwise, the cells won't charge / discharge evenly, leading to overdischarge / overcharge, or, if managed by the bms, drastically reduced performance (basically all cells are limited to the worst one's performance).

still, the concept is fantastic, so i hope they found a way to work around this issue!

i second @FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee
it's fantastic for like 85% of all games, and good to acceptable for like 10%. the only big issue is games with kernel level anti cheats, which is a problem for some gamers, mainly AAA and fps lovers.

i wasn't aware of that. thank you! is this a recent development?

[–] binom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

would you mind elaborating on the part rejection? i am not sure what is meant by that

[–] binom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

that makes sense. i hate the fact that such a blatant play at covering your bases could hold up in any court. no matter the legal fineprint, it takes two functioning braincells to realise what's going on here

It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.

the fucking audacity. i mean, we all knew how it would end, but talk about 5d reverse psychology mindgames

none of the above of i may. i choose this:

i only recently switched, i'm giving it my best shot! so far i've been incredibly impressed with the gaming on linux experience! the game peaked my interest, so i tried it out, and felt like my experience could be interesting for other interested people :)

The concept, screenshots and description make it sound rather appealing.

i completely agree, and can now also add that the dev is really responsive to feedback on steam. they have a pinned thread in the game community where people are giving valid feedback, and they actively reply to them and have also released some patches that are certainly going in the right direction for me. definitely a game to keep your eye on if you like this kind of stuff!

tried it out for a while just now. interesting concept, but it still needs a lot of work, the balancing is quite unenjoyable, i was always running out of oil, and the generator overspeeds even with the governor all the way down. a more diegetic tutorial than "go to the main menu and read instructions" would also be nice. another issue was that my 3090 was pegged at 100%, even with the lowest resolution and graphics settings, but that could be an issue with linux/wayland/proton.

looking forward to where this will go!

yeah, i succumbed to the impulse this bf after long consideration. even though i was always skeptical of bambu. rookie mistake.

the machine is awesome though, don't get me wrong

 

I thought this may be interesting for some of you. I filed a ticket with BBL to let them know I disapprove of the coming firmware auth changes. Today I finally got a reply, but it's just a lame ass copypasta, basically retelling what the update on their blog already stated, ie. "there will be developer mode and people are lying about the implications" (paraphrased tl;dr)

Dear Customer,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the recent Firmware Authorization changes. Due to the overwhelming number of requests we've received on this topic, we've created this unified response to address your concerns.

We've recently published a detailed blog post explaining the updates introduced by this firmware. We’ve made the decision to implement an optional Developer Mode feature(under an updated LAN Mode), to provide advanced users with more control and flexibility. The developer mode will be released later.

To explain: When LAN developer mode is enabled by the user, the printer will retain the necessary interfaces, including MQTT channel, live stream, and FTP, to support third-party integrations that rely on LAN mode. Please note that Bambu Lab cannot guarantee full compatibility or provide customer support for this mode.

Additionally, we hope to clarify that online claims such as remote disabling of printers, mandatory subscriptions, or unauthorized monitoring of printed files are completely false. For details please kindly refer to the blog post.

At present, the Firmware Authorization update is available in Open Beta exclusively for the X1 series. Participation in the beta program is entirely optional, allowing you to explore and provide feedback on the new features. Alternatively, you can continue using your current firmware.

Please feel free to reach out if you still have questions or need further clarification after reading this. We'll do our best to assist you.

Best regards, Bambu Lab Customer Support

 

I am im the market for a hardware key for MFA. I want to put it on my keyring and put it in my pocket so I always have it with me. I guess it should be quite sturdy for that (no easily broken off connectors, ...) I mainly want to use it as additional factor for my Bitwarden vault. Do you have any recommendations, experiences, stories? Yubikey seems to be by far the brand most recommended. Solo is nice bc open source hard/firmware, but I care more about reliability and usability than openness I think.

Thank you for your insights!
