It would be horridly slow for all those things (well maybe not text-only chats)

400kbit/s excruciatingly slow for even basic things besides web browsingon bloated sites.

IDK, 400kbit/s is pretty close to unusable these days…

Ok so we just have starkly dissimilar experiences, unfortunately for me it has been way more hassle than what you have experienced.

Curious, how do you plan to download from your newsgroups if you are not exposed to the internet? This is no different than the internet access e.g. qbit needs.

I’ve been using freetube for a little over a year, and I have to change something all the time (like every third time i open the app or something) otherwise videos just throw an error and won’t load. Same goes for my laptop (also freetube). Newpipe and revanced are even worse for me and some I never got working.

No, like fiddling with proxies to find a working one…if only it was just updating then I wouldn’t mind.

You have to frequently do some shenanigans to get things working because shit keeps breaking. I still do it, but it’s honestly annoying AF that i need to tinker with my apps like that all the time.

Not really, most SFF PCs top out below 70W at absolute maximum, 100W-400W at idle is improbable.

For reference, mine uses 7W on average running my home automation and some other things, when it’s actually idling it’s well below that.

That would make it way too high at anywhere from 100W to 400W depending on where in the world they are.

Meh, it really just feels more like were at the center of idiocracy

I wanted to integrate spoolman and some other things that i have on my other klipper printer to integrate with my already established workflow, but it’s not possible with their klipper version.

Are you just using the custom qidi-version of klipper that it ships with? I quickly replaced mine with FreeDi because I got annoyed by the arbitrary limitations they have with their non-standard klipper implementation.

Yeah I agree, 3d printing is not the right tool for a simple large box.

If you’re a “regular sized adult” I honestly think you can get away with 30% adaptive cubic, and 5-6 walls and top/bottom layers.

That’s pushes it to 2.4kg filament and a +2 days print though with a regular 0.4mm nozzle and 0.3mm layer height.

If you go for something like lightning infill of 15% and 3 walls, you could probably make that print in something like 11h and only use 750g filament.

now i would really like to try a 256 mm³ cube

That’s a cube measuring ~6.5mm x 6.5mm x 6.5mm…I know the A1 is small, but that seems fairly unambitious.

That’s a very US-centric view of car industry

Have you tried doing a DNS lookup from the router (pinging a host by name, say) when you were having the problems?

Yes this works when I’m having issues. I guess I’ll try looking in to my routers DNS next time i have issues. For now it’s working again (I still haven’t changed anything)
