I did not realize that, but it also has no real bearing on my point. In a society where those in power face no real consequences from those they have power over, violence is inevitably. We will see more of this as days go on. Its not my intention to make a hero out of the gunman, but rather to remind myself that those in power are the ones that perpetuate this system of violence.

    Except for when I switch my headphones to another device that uses the 3.5mm, or if I switch from in-ear to over-ear, if if I want to plug my phone into my stereo. In all those cases I have to move the dongle around.

    You shouldn't need dongles to use headphones. There is no rational reason a phone can't have a headphone jack, it's just Apples insanity spreading to the rest of the phone manufacturers.

    Overall I'm pretty happy with my first sourdough loaf at first glance, although I do think I got too much color on the top.

    Its still cooling, but I'll make a post with pictures of the crumb when it's done.

    Thanks to Claire Saffitz, I would have definitely ruined it if I didn't watch/read her NYT guide at least 10 times in preparation.

    First ever loaf of sourdough.
     

    I'm almost certainly going to buy either a Sovol M1D or a Prusa Core One + w/INDX within the next few hours, but I'm am having trouble deciding on which would be better. I'll share my thoughs, please share whatever feedback you have.

    I feel like I have completely outgrown my old bedslinger, I miss being out of my depth and forced to learn, and I've saved up quite a bit of money in order to get a printer that will give me lots of new techniques and technologies to learn. I primarily want to add multi-color, multi-material, and a heated chamber for materials like ABS. I've decided that I'd like to get all these capabilities in a single printer, as I don't have a huge amount of space in my apartment for my hobbies.

    I'm leaning towards the M1D, as i find the IDEX system and larger print volume, at a slightly lower price, to be very alluring. Although the fact that the M1D is still in its pre-release phase does give me some pause.

    The Core One+ wins a number of points though. I have friends with Prusas and in my experience the prusa polish is incredible, and I know that Sovol may have slightly lower build quality. The slightly smaller size of the printer, while a sacrifice in print volume, would make finding space for it far easier. Finally since the Core One is already released I wouldn't have to wait for December for the printer to arrive.

    Appologies if I have formatted this poorly, this whole post is just slightly edited stream of thought.

     

    A few months back I build a wireless Lily58 to replace my wired Lily. And while for the most part I love it, I have noticed that the left "central" half drains it's battery 2-3x faster than the peripheral half(typically in less than 72 hours. This has lead to me keeping it plugged in most the of the time.

    I have read that getting a dedicated dongle can help improve this, and I'll definitely look into that, but I was wondering if there was any modifications that may improve the lifespan.

    Details:
    The board is from typeractive, with the Nice!Nano v2 and Nice!display, as well as the batteries typeractive ships.
