  • Once they rolled out ads on the home page (Shame. Shame. Shame.), I installed “Launcher manager” and “Wolf launcher” to give it an interface I really like. A big background picture, some large buttons for the commonly used apps, and then progressively smaller buttons as you scroll down the screen for the less commonly used features.

    It broke once when an update rolled out, but since then has been running fine and I never once see the bloated monstrosity that is the default home screen.

    The only qualm with my setup I have is that access to the configuration sidebar isn’t as intuitive as it was with the pre 9.0 version (which frankly I don’t remember anymore aside from the general impression). That’s a very minor price to pay to have an interface without ads.


  • Summary of the opinion: Nobody here has standing, but… Missouri maybe?, Cause the corporation the state created won’t be able to take in all those fees. Also, congress only allowed completely trashing rules, or slightly tweaking them, this is more “in-between” and we don’t like that. Oh, and the replacement rules only have a requirement to be published, theres no authority to actually write them. This is a new rule, so it’s not allowed. Furthermore, the action taken was too big, unprecedented, we don’t like that.

    Summary of the dissent: Nobody here has standing. PERIOD. That corporation could bring it to us, and is explicitly permitted to act as an independent financial and legal entity, so they can bring it theirselves. IF they brought it themselves, congress clearly delegated authority to “waive or modify” provisions, and provide substitute rules appropriate to the situation, after they had passed it explicitly for the gulf war, then explicitly for 9/11, and then opened the doors wide open to any national emergency because they have more important things to deal with during emergencies than student loan policy. The scale of the action matches theS scale of the emergency, and is actually smaller than the previous action (loan pause) that the previous administration instituted. So in other words, loan relief like this may have been a shit idea, may have been a great idea, but it is exactly what the law allows and the court has no business deciding otherwise. It’s not our fucking job to write policy.

    You can probably pretty obviously tell which opinion I agree with more… This court is trash, gymnastics required to justify most of their decisions. Expand the court so the scales of power don’t fucking seesaw from regular jurisprudence to batshit insanity upon the death of a single robe-clad geriatric. 😫


  • Winner winner chicken dinner! This is EXACTLY what happened. I reprinted again after tightening belts, fixing bed wobble, and re-leveling, and kept a closer eye on it this time. The nozzle was indeed catching on that “Y” support due to the edge curling up. Wasnt enough to kill the print this time, but enough to make me nervous…

    Ironically, the thing I’m printing is an all-in-one case so that I can segregate the PSU, main board, pi, and controls from the printer itself to enclose it and have better temp control!

    Thanks for the tips, and the clarification that spool catching can’t cause this sort of issue with a Bowden setup, I missed that nugget of info! I posted in other comments, but I think it was definitely a catch and loose belt. Surprised that the loose belt didn’t cause problems throughout the print, but maybe I’ve just been getting lucky all this time!

    I’m willing to reprint the entire thing for sexy smooth lines. My manual handicraft of sanding, gluing, painting, etc always leaves me disappointed in the final result 😂

    Again, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

    I’ve never liked dealing with excel for anything other than manual work. It’s data integrations have grown beyond my familiarity, and I’ve never liked any of the python libraries I’ve used for reading and writing excels formats. Go accessible with something like CSV, and you lose most things of value that excel can offer.

    Currently though, this is my strategy. I’ve got folders of Excel sheets that I manually add exports of various things to, but I’m missing the piece that ties it all together, and I’d sure love to do less of the work manually.


  • Not entirely, just for some features, including data export past a certain date iirc. I probably will wind up doing just that though if I cannot figure out how to get the data off my phone. Right now the phone app is the only place I can even see that the data exists, so I’m slightly afraid of changing anything in mfp lest it ‘sync’ my data out of existence 😕
