  • Fwiw I used to daily an x210 and then an x230 in IT and pretty frequently typed with one hand while carrying with another without the weight bugging me but your mileage may vary.

    You can definitely send them flying and not damage them my coworker launched theirs across the office and the bezel just snapped back together.

    I have a T480 now since I do more dev work and needed a slightly bigger keyboard/screen and it’s phenomenal with Qubes and 48gb of memory on the quad core i5. Love the ease to repair I just swapped a motherboard on it in around 30 minutes and was back up and running


  • 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).

    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










  • Yep and reddit is slowly closing themselves off, I wouldn’t doubt you eventually have to be logged in to even view anything.

    Forums are still around but it’s usually just the older established ones (I’m on stangnet.com and corral.net regularly but they’re car related so lots of technical info). Everything new either went Reddit or Discord it feels like and I’ll never install Discord.

    I think Jellyfin started a forum post reddit but I haven’t gone looking yet for that one.

    Information is absolutely getting harder to find online and if archive.org goes down we’re really screwed


  • I don’t think your particular case would have any creep as it’s not mechanically leveraged in any real way.

    If you were to print something like a cupholder for a stroller or bike where it’s holding something up with some weight while in the heat is where you would notice it especially with repeated impact. Most likely wouldn’t outright fail but under constant load you would notice it starting to bend a little. That said you can absolutely over engineer it to prevent that rather than switching materials which can be a huge pain depending on the printer.

    I did my hydroponic tower in PETG but it honestly would’ve been ok in PLA since it’s just a static fixture. I’ve had a PLA badge on my car for 3 years in 110+ summers and similar to you I’ve only noticed fading on the raised white lettering.


  • I’m on the 5A now and my wife has a 7, her 7 has the screen randomly freak out where you can’t even turn it on or reset (holding power will make it vibrate after about a second preventing the hold to reset). Just have to mess with it until you can get in and hit restart then it’s fine for another week or two usually.

    The 5A is fantastic until it abruptly dies which has happened to me twice now (both times while sitting with it in my hand). If they didn’t have screen and motherboard issues I would absolutely run this phone into the ground since it’s a great experience with GrapheneOS, has a headphones jack, and has the rear facing fingerprint sensor.

    I can’t speak to the 6 but I know some people didn’t like them after the 5 since it switched to tensor




  • I just used a buck converter and a USB pigtail for mine so it still plugs into the pi where the power cable used to it’s just running off the Ender 3s power supply. They were fairly cheap on Amazon something like $6 for a pack

    The only cables you really see for my printer are the short USB connecting the Pi to the SKR on the back, and the power supply cable. The rest is hidden or inside cable chains.

    Definitely made moving the printer easier and much less of an eyesore of wiring.
