It’s not the pre built that makes current desktops obsolete. It’s the quad chanel ddr5 8000 in the AI Max+ platform.

Just keep in mind a lot of those are integrated motherboards (non-upgradable parts)

Yeah that’s what bothers me. But a 256GB upgrade on AM5 is $800 and extremely slow compared to the 128GB non upgradeable on Max+. So really it comes down to 1pcie slot vs 3 or 4. If there’s a usb4 to PCIe adapter, even that’s not a limitation.

I think the NPU is generally worthless but the 128GB of fast ram makes local LLM like deep seek feasible. ( I watch a lot of level1techs on YouTube. )

The concerns you brought up are the same I have!

Imo a separate nas build is better for bulk storage. It’s part of why I think I’m buying a dinosaur to get a full ATX case when a SFF AI max would run circles around it.

Great to hear your prints are working again. Maybe extrusion problem and you need to hand tweak your flow rate for .16?

What’s nova?

As I found out from YouTuber NileRed, raw coffee seeds don’t taste like coffee at all. It requires very careful roasting to chemically convert the seed into coffee.

For reference I have an Anycubic s1 with 1,000+ hours on the brass nozzle and it was still fine when I changed it.

Don’t upload a 3mf that could have meta data. Use an STL that doesn’t support any metadata.

When I load a non manifold mesh into my slicer I get “error, click repair” a windows dll starts that repairs the mesh. It’s weird that Windows does this instead of the slicer but I’ve never taken the time to investigate because I’m busy on the next print.

How long can you wait? Snapmaker U1 comes out in November. Early reviews look good and it’s completely open. Klipper firmware with Orca slicer.

replace them with management fuckwits.

That happened over 10 years ago with the release of Win 8.

Not really. The first local login to configure it requires a Plex account. And that account times out maybe monthly? It seems every few months when I remote to the Plex server it wants the plex account to login.

The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.

Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it

The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn’t. Steve thanked him expecting that Linus would do what he promised but then Linus did nothing.

3 years later after GN publicized the unethical behavior, Linus then, and only then fixed it.

the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did,

But he didn’t. He promised to but never did until 3 years later. That’s why Steve called him out.

So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?

Read the emails. Linus said he’d fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn’t done anything.

The quote was from the linked article.

The email says they could keep it for further testing, not sell it.

LTT claimed they offered to pay for it but the time stamps prove they didn’t get an offer to pay for it until after GN publicized the mistake.

“Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution”

They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.

They took quick action 3 years after GN publicized LTT’s past bad behavior.
