True! But this was near the end of the gpu shortage, no price made sense. Hell, there was a 3060 sold and fulfilled by Amazon that was priced over 4K euro! They didn’t care when I reported the price error. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, he’s an architect and the choice of nice and transparent cover was purely cosmetic. I don’t think he really cares what other people think, but going from nice to yellowed is another matter.

I have a similar attitude towards colors as you do: if there’s one that costs less, I’m going for it. Once found a gimbal that somehow was half the price in the pink variant: I now have a conversation starter that when folded, thanks to the gentle pink hue and the overall shape, looks like a dildo. The really, really amusing thing in all of this is that my computer is fully white. The case was slightly less expensive in white. The psu was on offer in the white variant. Towards the end of the gpu shortage one of the few available, the least expensive one, was white… it sits under the desk, with the glass panel towards the wall. XD

AND they like to yellow at the speed of light. My brother got a nice, transparent cover for his phone “it’s going to look awful in a few months” and sure enough a few months later he had a different one precisely because of that.

Not a brilliant move. Weekend sale, Twitch rewards… let’s touch the one thing designed explicitly to keep people from playing right when there’s a chance of new players!

I would personally steer clear of that specific controller unless I’d plan on using it with a Switch or a Switch emulator: digital triggers? Sure fire way to have trouble with most things released in the last pair of decades.

Anyway with the Deck so far I’ve happily used an 8bitdo Sn 30 Pro+, an Xbox Series S one and, not necessarily a sensible thing but still a nice test, a GameSir T4 Kaleid (that is my overall main controller). Somehow I’m still lazing and not getting around to test the DualSense

It’s early access so at least it’s understandable things might change, but hot damn lol

On the other hand it’s possible the opposite. Gunner HEAT PC is verified. There’s no way to get 30 fps and controls barely work with a keyboard, so I wonder what the devil happened between the time it got verified and when I tried it.

The absurd thing is that it even depends on the game. I’ve initially tried without any problems the crappy phone vr with… the iPhone 5s, I think? Then the first PS VR on a base PS4, and titles known to upset people like EVE Valkyrie and Drive Club had no effect on me. “Comfort settings” typically meant just blinding me without a reason. Then, 20 minutes of Arizona Sunshine… and I wasn’t able to stomach the thought of vr for almost a year.

Seconding this. I had a rock solid Ender 3 since 2018 that got a few upgrades (btt 32 bit silent board, geared extruder, abl, couple of printed add ons) but never really needed any maintenance, recently upgraded to a Sovol SV07 Plus (big SV07, mechanically similar to the SV06) and hot damn! It’s a beast. Not only it goes stupid fast, can reach higher temperatures, heats faster… but it’s great out of the box and it prints TPU like nothing. Really, I tested it without changing anything and it worked fine. Downsides are that I got used to Octoprint and it can’t be used here, but Klipper is a decent replacement. Now, the ugly bit about that: it’s running on a really cheap board and an oddly customized os. You don’t notice any of that normally so that’s a plus, HOWEVER if like me you have a Spaghetti Detective/Obico account things change. There’s some copy paste to do via ssh, then the webcam struggles to hit 15 fps and whatever you do DON’T push any update button! Those wrecked everything. Not a fun few hours when I tried to figure out how to fix it.

Anyway the SV06 mentioned by OP is with Marlin rather than Klipper so none of the warnings apply :D

If it’s colored, it’s bad. I have a lovely purple GITD pla that even had a warning about the purple one not being that much glowy, it still surprised me. Very short time, very dim even if charged with a UV light… I like the color so all in all no big deal, but wow. Speaking of the suggestion of using UV reactive filament (light that, by the way, would keep the GITD ones glowing) some colors just look bright even without needing to be special. For example I have a bright green PETG that pops with UV light.

So let me get this straight… The thing is trained on text harvested from the internet. Turns out that (Star Trek aside) if you ask politely it’s more likely to access the data leading to the answer? Anyone surprised by the fact that asking nicely, is more likely that the human on the other side of the connection will write the answer, that is then harvested for AI training?

I’m guessing there’s a mix. The smallest version is 700 million, possibly the one used to generate the time data reported, but the largest (or not?) still runs with 8gb. If I remember correctly SD3 is supposed to have multiple versions, starting from 800 millions and going up, so this is going to be interesting.
