Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt? by PriorityMotif in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 10 points 19 hours ago

I have enough to pay off my house right now but I'm not because the interest rate is both lower than inflation and what I earn from interest, and other invesents, plus the increase in home values. If I paid off the house today then I also wouldn't have as much in my emergency fund. I have 5 years left of the mortgage, I'm paying roughly $50/mo interest which goes down every month.

The video out is just an rca cable you can plug it into a more modern tv in the yellow video port. I'm using an lcd tv I have for older stuff.

I just picked one up for $20. Missing the cable for the double disk drive though and it had a bad psu and I have no disks. Basically it's a money pit. But fun to mess with anyway.

DissolvPCB enables fully recyclable 3D-printed circuit boards with liquid metal conductors by PriorityMotif in c/[email protected]

I don't see why you couldn't just use a different material if you wanted a more permanent solution. A resin printer is likely ideal to get good accuracy.

I'm anticipating a crackdown on piracy in the near future. Even if you use a VPN that could get you flagged and traffic analyzed maybe even dropped from your ISP.

Have you ever owned a 3d printer that you didn't modify? by PriorityMotif in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Do you count that as modifying if you add a raspberry pi or a camera, but you can still just remove them and have the printer just like it came ootb?

These are definitely things that come with better printers these days. I only use octoprint with my cheap printer. It gives better results because a rpi is miles better at keeping up than the cheap board they put in there, it also didn't come with Wi-Fi or a camera which are things that come out of the box on other printers. Of course in the past printers didn't come with those things. I would consider them accessories because they added the USB port to the printer for you to send commands to, which is what you're doing.However, If the printer were "better" then you wouldn't have to use those things since it would already have Wi-Fi, better board, and a camera built in.

That's still "how it came out of the box" though as long as you use the same nozzle or one reccomended by the company. Just like replacing your brake pads with factory brake pads and not upgrading them to something better.

Preface: I'm on my third cheap printer in the past ten years. I bought an Anycubic kobra neo a few years ago. I told myself I wouldn't mess with doing anything to it, but I was running into issues because of low quality control. I put it away due to frustration for the past year and now needed to print something and just figuring out all the issues. Right now I'm looking into upgrading the part cooling fan as I cannot get rid of stringing even on low temps with PLA. I should just buy a good printer but I just don't feel like I can justify it.

I went to buy a Commodore Vic 20 also for only $20 (unknown state) and the seller offered to sell this to me for "whatever." Currently it has a bad power supply, so I'm in the process of figuring that out.

Discuss selling on different platforms like eBay, marketplace, Craigslist, Mercari, etc.

No, you don't have to be in the "hustle and grind" mindset. You can be a casual reseller, or just learn the ins and outs in order to get the best outcome from selling your own personal items. I've been casually selling on eBay for 22 years and am happy to answer questions.

Discuss and learn how to sell items on marketplaces such as eBay, Craigslist, Mercari, and many more.

You don't have to be a full time reseller, learn and resell your own personal items for someone else to enjoy.

User banned by instance mod shows "Banned by moderator" on mine. (lemmy.world)

submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I saw that a user was banned by moderator on my instance and their comments removed. I don't have a moderator, it's just me, I'm the only user. I thought I accidently fumble fingrred the ban button and restored their comments and appologize. Come to find out that they were banned from their own instance.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand it's good if it's a really bad user posting spam or worse. On the other hand it is a conduit for censorship. If an admin doesn't like what you post on another instance, then they can censor you everywhere. On top of that, it makes it look like I am banning people, and I don't like that at all if they're just making normal comments. It should say something else and I should get some kind of alert that lets me know so that I can decide if the comments on my instance are appropriate.

I created [email protected] a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

[email protected]

I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens. There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.
