  • There’s a few things going on. At first blush, I agree with you. The vast majority of that stuff doesn’t need to be captured.

    But if you don’t capture everything, how do you know you got the stuff that will be important or wanted in the future?

    Also, historians are going to find that data to be an absolute gold mine. Unfortunately, a lot of it is in the form of video now and takes a ton of storage space.

    I think, in the end, most people are not willing to pay the price to archive everything. But some are, and they’re doing it.




  • FTA: YouTube’s global head of health, Dr Garth Graham, said: “As a teen is developing thoughts about who they are and their own standards for themselves, repeated consumption of content featuring idealised standards that starts to shape an unrealistic internal standard could lead some to form negative beliefs about themselves.”

    And while I’m sure this is true, this is a minority of people, and they should seek help for their problem. There are far more who benefit from hearing about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and how to achieve it.

    They should already be hearing that stuff from their parents and teachers, but I have my doubts. And they’re much more likely to listen to influencers than authority figures at certain ages.

    But the whole thing is even more pointless. They’re mostly influenced by seeing these beautiful people constantly on TV, movies, and Youtube, and thinking that they don’t measure up to them. Simply stopping some health care videos is going to do nothing for the problem and only prevent videos with the information they need.

    This already happens with those comedy talk show hosts. They create rage-bait stories and spin them for good entertainment, and people think it’s an accurate look at the situation. I used to kind of enjoy them until one of them hit on a subject I had just researched and knew immediately how they were spinning it. I can’t stand them now.

    So while this is a concern, it’s one that’s already being done on a much larger scale with people who feel a lot more trustworthy. I’m not really worried about some kids that are also doing it.


  • Wow. The “designed to fail” backdrop on the video says a lot about this. They’re aiming for clicks, rather than rigorous testing.

    I’m not at all surprised that TVs aren’t designed to be used 24/7 by residential users. And I’m not at all surprised that running them for 10,000 hours straight causes a lot of problems for them.

    And I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that overworking them in the short term like that isn’t the same as using them regularly and normally for 6 years. Some of those things might still happen, but some of it is death from overheating.




  • I have never worked there (or any other major tech company) but if I had a job there, I wouldn’t give it up until I’d found another job. Perhaps the people there aren’t going crazy at the job hunt and still just haven’t found another job they want.

    It’s really easy to think “all the layoffs are over and I made it” and “job hunting is painful, I don’t want to do it today” and just coast for a long time.

    I’m sure every awful thing he does spurs another effort for job hunting, but unless the job actually makes them work harder or fires them, it probably doesn’t change much for them.

    Also, they get paid a lot more than I do, and sometimes it’s worth the pain to keep raking in that cash.




  • I finally solved it. Voron KAMP’s Voron Purge technique puts little blobs of filament on the bed. I also have Voron Tap. My tool head was hitting those blobs and moving upwards slightly, causing the extruder not to squish the filament into the bed in the same pattern as the voron logo from the purge.

    My solution was to initially to move the purge further way, but that kills large parts of my bed usage. So I just wrote my own purge line script and I’m using that now.

    I hope this helps you solve your problem!


  • I posted in another community on Lemmy and got some suggestions, but the only that that’s make a different so far is printing a lot slower. That decreased the underextrusion area to about half, but it’s still there and very obvious on ASA.

    I’m leaning towards a bad extruder (or at least bad gears), but they’re BMG and I don’t feel like they’ve had that much usage yet. I might take the opportunity to replace it with a Galileo 2 and see what happens.

    If I end up figuring this out, I’ll come back and reply again.




  • To expand upon that, I had something similar to the OP’s setup at one point, and I found things worked a lot better when the files could be moved on the same volume, rather than appearing as separate volumes (because they were mounted separately). I ended up re-engineering my whole setup for that and it’s much faster now.

    As for duplicates… I assume this is so you can continue seeding after the file has been moved? I can’t think of anything that would fit the bill for that off the top of my head. Ideally, I think you’d want QBT to just start serving from the new location instead, though I admit hard links does sound like a solution that could work.

    And after Googling, it seems like it already does hard links for torrents for this exact reason. I think if you just map /media (and drop the 2 maps you have after that) things will work like you want.
