It’s the same for my old QQS-pro though. Even after some mods, it still just works. Upgrades are clear but not necessary.

The inlet does nothing, so we just need to measure atmospheric pressure. XD

jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure.

Looks like they wanted Clojure to have a smaller runtime.

We have a few Tuxedo computers and some other Linux brands at our company and are generally happy about them. Cheaper devices have a less than perfect keyboard (though I liked the one on the slimbook) a worse camera and microphone (though some are very ok).

I’m very happy with these Linux devices. The few makes for which we needed parts also supplied them but sending the device their way for repair took longer than we’d have wanted.

Cool! This was interesting to see.

On the design: It looks like it could be good for laser cutting but I doubt it will do more than CNC engraving wood. Would love to be proven wrong. I think the screws are too close and the leverages too large to be solid enough for cutting. We cpuld simulate it to verify the weak spots. No problem for plotting and laser cutting though. I was surprised by the deflection of the Indymill which has more metal parts.

On the CAD file: I could easily find my way in the file. I generally constrain more (also importing shapes from other Bodies) which makes it more automatic but also more error prone and harder to calculate. It will be interesting to see an assembly of these parts too.

Looking forward to updates from this build.

I’d like to see the FreeCAD file both in the “a bit messy” form as well as in the cleaned up form.

The post title says “ever” rather than “2025”. It’s cool for 2025 and we may get some interesting others, but many here will have ran it on something slower at some point.

You can manually edit the gcode to see if printing white first works out better. Then search for a more repeatable solution if you often re-slice.

Manipulating gcode looks intimidating the first time but it’s really not that crazy. Cura adds comments to the gcode and you can look up the codes otherwise, I expect Pusa Slicer to do the same. You want to move the whole printing sequence of the white nozzle before the printing sequence of the second black one on the first layer. Keep the setup (heating etc) before that.

We run Taiga and it seems to work fine.

If you want to link to external sources in a structured way and you don’t mind tweaking the looks, SolidOS (ot another SOLID app) has a task list/tracker.

I keep my personal tasks in org-mode or org-roam.

Fully agree. I presume it’s way harder than it seems. https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md shows some things as done and many as WIP. Perhaps there’s a demo server somewhere with which we can experiment?

Oh I feel you. Typing too much too fast is terrible on the wrists.

I remapped some keys for the key combos and have no issues with those now. Regardless of editor, good posture may help. I find good posture easier with split keyboards which often include a thumb cluster.

Perhaps multi-modal editing is better and you can do that with evil-mode. I’ve created some prefix key combinations with Alt-Gr and with the super (windows) keys to create something like it whilst keeping most most common commands close to the default. Namely C-x is now s-c which is way more relaxing on Dvorak layout.

Doom Emacs includes evil-mode by default perhaps that’s your cup of tea.

That would be Emacs.

Emacs is like an operating system bringing various tools into the same editing interface, including email. Emacs is very adaptive, you can get VIm like bindings through evil-mode.

I’ve been waiting for that progress to materialise. Although I really want it to work, it has taken so long now that I doubt it is taken seriously and thus I start to doubt they will keep maintaining it once it does land.

For most commercial software you don’t need federation though, so for most you can just spin up your own instance.

I own this. It is horrible. If the specs were real it would be great, but the specs are not real. It is a 3k black and white monitor with a fixed color filter over it. That means you need 3x3 pixels to resemble a color.

I consider it a scam from Dasung.

Boox on the other hand made a sane black and white display. Much better. I own a Max 2 Pro. Sadly they fail to understand that when you report a display as 20px smaller than it really is over an HDMI port and then rescale the image of the computer display on that, that it becomes really uncrisp. Their suggestion is to use the display with 200% scaling (so you don’t notice as much I suppose).

Epaper is really promising and nice. However both of these companies should either get some real competition or lawsuits.

Depends on the use.

The screen protector serves as a blue light filter too, it’s cheaper than a display, and fairly thin. That’s a straightforward addition for my use but if you don’t have issues with your phone dropping then you could certainly do without.

I very much dislike cases and loved the PH-1 for stating that a phone should be solid enough without a case (sadly it did not survive a 50cm drop on a floor so it did not hold up in practice). If you don’t have much issues with your phone dropping then not having a case makes it so much nicer.

I take more risk holding my phone than I should which means it falls more than average. The price I have to pay is a screen protector and cover. Replacing the display should be easy, but it’d also be wasteful.

I had to replace parts on my FP5. It fell on very bad asphalt at speed whilst cycling in a foreign country. The glass on the camera modules scattered. Display protector broke and the case got some good damage. I was instantly calmed realising it is a FairPhone and knowing I could order replacement parts.

Repairs were trivial and it feels good to have created just a tiny amount of e-waste instead of a large amount. The black aluminium case has some war wounds (scratches) reminding me of the trip.

I have a cheap power supply which can be limited in current and voltage and I’ve been able to revive many such batteries with it. I use it as a drip charger limiting current and voltage so neither gets too high until the regular charger picks up the battery again.

I have not had many issues in the past 15 or more years myself running Linux exclusively aside from a shorter Macbook period. Perhaps I have just been lucky.

We sported (in guessed cronological order of first buy): Dell, HP, Lenovo, Slimbook, Tuxedo, Starlabs, BTO all running Linux at our company. We have not had big issues with any except for keyboard on a Dell, Tuxedo, Slimbook and cooling on a Lenovo. Since I chose the Slimbook many have followed on the path of smaller suppliers and I think we rarely buy from the big makes now.

I have been very happy with slimbook. I came from a macbook (bad idea) with the bad butterfly keyboard and the slimbook was a big upgrade on that front. It’s still not the greatest keyboard for some but I do like it. I have been wanting to buy a new one but whenever something broke or was insufficient I could either upgrade (2 x nvmeSSD slots and RAM can be replaced) or they still supplied spare parts when I sent them an email (keyboard replacement after 4 years). I wanted a framework but Slimbook has offered me spare parts as needed for longerbtham could buy a framework and the slimbook still works well. Plus it’s less expensive. Replacement of the keyboard was not toolless requiring glue to be heated but I did manage to quickly do it with a sleepy head at night. I’d buy their new 13" if this one would be out of service. I’d buy one now but it feels such a waste.

Things I did not like 6 years ago: webcam and microphone of lesser quality, display nice and matte with good color rendition but lower resolution than I’d prefer, no USBC charging on USBC port. Display and USBC are resolved on the new models, no clue about webcam and microphone.

Not CoreXY but you may want to check out FLSun’s delta offerings too.

I have an older one and it has served me well. I bought a QQS pro (I think) for tinkering. It worked well out of the box but I could not resist changing the stepper drivers, installing Klipper, changing the hotend, … It still works well, just faster.

Looking at the few reviews of what they have today I’d buy again but would try not to swap out parts. That or the Prusa you’re looking at.

Agree. They’ll surely to pay the cost and they have a proven track record on handling any potential lock in.
