I’m sorry that my asshole government and Trump’s nonsense trade war deprioritized you receiving your replacement screen. I don’t want him or his administration anywhere but in prison.

That Cadet Kirk is a straight shooter with bridge officer written all over him

I’ll let my wife know that someone finally does!

Have you tried playing on a lower difficulty level?

It’s the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Consoles live and die by their exclusives. Xbox hasn’t had the draw that Sony and Nintendo have.

Gamepass is still a good deal, but I wouldn’t buy a console for it.

This is the only way I’ve been successful with a microwave dry. For a standard 1000-1100 watt microwave, drop the power down to 20%.

I normally toss them into my food dehydrator while I’m drying filament rolls though so I don’t need another step.

The hole is for breathing

Close! See my other comment for an example

Okay, but understand that their culture has different standards than ours

This is the traditional rejection outfit women on Naboo wear. You should see the outfit they wear for romantic acceptance!

Your think I’m fucking around here!? Mark it zero!

I think I like what I see out of the Qidi brand, but I don’t have any experience with them.

I would be interested in a review post from you should you decide to go that way.

The deck is now 3 years old, so it’s not all that future proof. I expect to see a successor sometime in the next 2-3 years or whenever it makes sense for Valve to upgrade it without losing battery life.

I’m on my second Deck (LCD sold for an OLED), and I honestly couldn’t be much happier. I feel like the base models are one hellava good buy even still.

I pretty much only use my Deck for older/simpler/indie games. I tried Ghost of Tsushima, and I definitely couldn’t enjoy it at the performance and detail level the Deck is capable of. However, streaming it from my PS5 is still a pretty great experience. That said, it still looks better on a 4K screen.

If you haven’t made a decision yet, Formbot has 350mm Voron 2.4 kits back in stock. They ship from Czech Republic or China.

The Sovol SV08 is a good option too if you don’t feel like building from scratch.

You’re okay by me!

The Bleem case is a separate issue from creating a backup copy protected by DRM

You should check out Beehaw. It’s built on the Lemmy platform but the owners and mods are very much trying to build what you describe.

The law is all about those technicalities.

I don’t agree with any of that noise around the DMCA for the record. I feel like we effectively lost our right to archival copies.

On a PC, what you said about copying the DRM along with the data is largely true. It is possible sometimes to copy the DRM and reproduce the image with the DRM intact. It also might not be depending upon the copy protection mechanism. Commercial video DVDs used to employ tricks with the storage sector that made it almost impossible to properly copy by a standard computer disc drive. You could get around this with additional program like AnyDVD, but that was only available for sale outside the USA because of the fact that it allowed you to bypass DRM.

And like you said, the content can be encrypted. Decrypting it is, IIRC, considered bypassing DRM - at least in the USA.

Again, I don’t agree that this is how things should be, but the legality of emulation is complicated depending upon what we’re talking about emulating.
