  • So you want to print the bulk of the print normal but exterior perimiters only in a lower layer height? I don’t think any slicers do that but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work and potentially give a higher resolution exterior finish in less time than just lowering the layer height for the whole print.

    edit: just saw that someone already pointed out that cura does essentially this but the infill being the focus, and that you already saw it.



  • most people I have dealt with can’t even get on the internet if the browser icon moves a few spaces over. regular settinngs menus are out of the question for them, let alone an extra program for settings with names that don’t reflect their purpose in a laymans eyes. On the other hand I have had pretty decent success telling people to press win+x, release the keys, press a or whatever for cmd/powershell then copy paste a one liner, assuming a cmd/powershell command is available for the issue. or making a registry file they can double click.





  • no, one drive is Microsoft’s thing that they keep bringing back each update that you have to remove again so you don’t have a permanent notification.

    joking aside though, what? I have 2 nvme, 1 sata ssd, and 5 spinning drives on bazzite.

    edit: I see you mean the home directories on separate drives, which I have indeed not tested, nor have I used that setup in about a decade now so I dont know what issues could come up.


  • I think its an outdated recommendation. They keep making weird choices and one of only two friends that was willing to try Linux went and tried Ubuntu without my input and decided to go back to windows for a bunch of mostly mundane reasons that could have either been configured away or been preempted by using a different distro. The other guy will be back but on bazzite after trying my steam deck he only left for removedty rootkit anticheat games that he’s now sick of. He started on one of the arch easy install methods and was already a power user on both windows and Mac.

    What does your wife have against linux? All the porn pop up viruses are on windows, and getting your kid on apple is setting them up to be in credit card debt for the rest of their lives.

    Even my senile ass grandparents use Linux and they don’t complain about every little thing like they did with windows. My dad wanted a Mac but free so after hackintosh being too much learning curve for him I used some random Mac inspired configs from the internet for one of the Linux DEs that I’ve never personally used, also no more babysitting and virus induced full wipes.

    Parental controls I would do at the router level because eventually kids will surpass you in computer skills. Or maybe they won’t because of seo and ai articles taking over the web.
