The fact that robertson is tapered, so it locks the screw onto the bit just makes it that much better than torx. If the screws are captive, I’ll take torx or hex but as someone in trades, with the option of torx or robertson to resupply my screw tray, I’ll take robertson all day every day

I wait until I’m in the car and my wife is trapped with it

Ikea does this with their app, but generally, you go to ikea to get one or two items, so it doesn’t really speed up the proccess of checking out

I sliced a memory foam pillow to half thickness with a single edge razor and put it in the same case as a firm pillow. It’s stiff as fuck for the first week or 2, but hoo boy is it the best pillow I’ve ever had. My wife kept stealing my pillow, so she got the other half of the foam pillow

Depending on where you live, check memory express. They only have 10(?) locations nationwide, but i’m pretty sure they’re in all the big cities

GROND!

I’m all for competition in the market and knew enough to be able to fix any problems I ran into on windows, but linux is a whole different beast. It’s the first intel product I’ve bought since my first CPU in 2012

Yeah I got the arc card ages ago before I thought I would ever go to linux, then a buddy of mine started daily driving linux, so I got a resource to to go to for help lol. I’m just waiting on black friday to switch back to amd now

Arc is actually decent on windows, but the combination of linux and arc is less than ideal

I’m in the double minority of linux and intel arc. It’s… less than amazing

He better be explaining this one seeing as it’s a simile

I feel that pain in my soul! Sometimes my settings get applied, sometimes not, sometimes integrations work, sometimes not, sometimes the app updates properly, sometimes it breaks itself so windows doesn’t know it’s installed and won’t run it, but the installer thinks it’s installed, so it won’t repair it so I have to delete fucking anything I can find from icue, reinstall it, uninstall with revo, and then reinstall fresh and import all my saved profiles, which only sometimes work. Why the fuck is iCUE so goddamn shitty?!

I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!

I had heard of CKB next, but I thought it was a general purpose RGB software. Good to know!

Yeah I don’t expect to get all the functionality in one piece of software, so I’ll have to cobble it together. Of course, icue depends on the .net framework so it’s not getting ported, and the other 2 just don’t have an official native linux app. Jack mixer is my current target for voicemeeter, but I have to start researching the others at some point.

As someone who understands windows fairly well, but until recently couldn’t use the command line to save my life, I started dual booting Ubuntu and it’s pretty easy to figure out once you understand what you’re looking for. Only things I’m still trying to get running are alternatives for the stream deck software, iCUE, and voicemeeter, but I havem’t really invested much time into them yet.

When I went to glass it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize I needed to up my bed temp by 10° if I wanted good adhesion

I swapped to glass a few years ago and the things I have learned since are that glass that’s too thick will cause you issues with bed temperature, and you can print PETG on it so long as you can guarantee you’ll be there when the print finishes to release it with IPA or you’ll have chunks of glass missing from your build plate. I got a G10 build plate 2 days ago and sofar I’m liking it more than glass

I’m gonna go ahead and be that guy and point out the fact that in the panels showing himat his desk from the inside, th window is to his right and there’s no wall right next to him, while the one from the outside has the window directly in line with him and it’s breaking me

Canada stopped minting pennies ages ago because the metals used to make a penny were worth more than the penny itself
