The Ender 3 is like an old Jeep Willy’s. Teaches you a ton about how it operated but it does so poorly.
I went from a highly modded Ender 3 to a stock K1. The difference in consistent quality and speed is staggering.
OP, save up your money for an enclosed printer. It makes such a big difference it’s well worth it.
Citizen Kane. A lot of clever and groundbreaking effects that most people don’t even realize are happening.
So that’s not just me! I’ve also had Alt+Tab get stuck showing all windows and not move to the selected one lately. Gahhh.
It might be your hardware. I just migrated from a Ryzen 5 laptop (with much better battery life than its Core i5 cousins in the office) to a new Core Ultra laptop and the difference in shutdown time is striking. Mostly because it actually shuts down all the spreadsheets and office BS I have open while the Ryzen one would hang. I normally don’t like Intel chips but this generation seems to be pretty good. Could be RAM too. Old laptop had 24GB, new one has 32GB.
For me it was not being able to keep a homebridge VM from crashing. Threw it on Debian and it hasn’t gone down once. Dual booting for now but I’m moving everything over. The final piece was seeing how fast Debian copies files. It’s instant most of the time. Made me realize that the “nice” speed dialog is literally just show and slowing down the functionality by quite a bit. What a pig.
Chief of War is fantastic. Historical drama based on Hawai’i’s timeline during the 1800s when the west found the island. It’s a bit brutal at times (especially the first episode) and it’s a lot of subtitles but it’s so well done. Jason Momoa’s best.
The Crown is also some of the best TV and acting out there. Absolutely excellent drama based on the Elizabeth II’s years. It’s incredible. Best John Lithgow acting hands down.
Yep. His time in France specifically.

The keyboard is bugged and someone JUST caught it on slow mo changing the user input. It’s a wild bug and explains a lot because the iOS keyboard and autocorrect used to the gold standard. It was sooooo good pre-ML.
Same. You don’t realize how slow everything is on Windows until you run another OS on the same hardware. I mean, even unzipping a file is instant on Linux, while you’d be watching an animation of the unzipping speed on Windows. It’s insane the difference.
Wow that’s impressive! It really does look stock.
Debian isn’t just stable, it’s rock solid. It’s an ideal server distro.
I haven’t met anyone that got high consistently (even tobacco) this didn’t apply to. You nailed it.
I’ve tried a lot but never clicked with one until today. I settled on a Debian 13 / Windows 11 dual boot. Followed a great guide on YouTube and started moving files over using a USB drive. I’ve traditionally loved macOS’ UI so Gnome was for me. It’s different but I do like it; I do not like Plasma. And GOD does Debian scream! Windows really is a PIG.
It’s not. It’s that the apps that use it have bad UIs and/or don’t support CarPlay. I haven’t found an alternative yet that was usable day to day.
I wish it were good enough to be a viable alternative but it really isn’t.
I haven’t listened to them but they do get reviewed well almost everywhere. They have more bass by default than I like and they dip a bit in the treble which I also don’t prefer (I like slightly bright and otherwise balanced sound).
And they’re quite a bit off for electronics. Rtings is WAY better.
I never got the Ender 3 to be consistent. If anything it wasted time, filament, and money because it might finish a print and it might not. Great teaching tool. Awful printer these days.
