Thanks. I'm still learning how Lemmy works 😅

Why is that?

Can you give some examples 😅

Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I've read the "learn more" bit now and I'm going to leave it switched on. (although I use uBlock anyway ‍😅)

I think this is a legitimate attempt to 'fix' the internet. It seems only very basic information on interactions with ads is recorded by the browser, and then it is anonymised. As an example, the advertiser should only receive counts of how many people bought a product after seeing a particular ad. I don't think they can see what webpage anyone in particular came from, but maybe they can see that: 11% percentage of visitors came from example.com/some-page

Presumably the anonymised data is only provided once the pool is fairly large and wouldn't show 100% of visitors came from cornhub when you only had one visitor 🤷‍♂️ Obviously websites will always see an IP address.

The idea is for this to substitute for traditional, more invasive, tracking. I think it may one day achieve that.

A warning though: I only just started reading about this.

Excuse me while I go and click that 'learn more' button...

Retraction Test in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

I've had the same thing. I think orca's retraction test is just too 'easy'. I think the towers are too far apart.

0.2 owners - Bed heat time? (lemmy.world)
 

0.2 owners, could you tell me how long your bed takes to heat from room temperature to 60 and 100°C please 😁

[SOLVED] Any ideas what causes this in overhangs? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[–] UnH1ng3d@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Thanks. I'll experiment with temperatures first but I've got some different filament on the way too as it happens, so hopefully I'll manage to escape the problem one way or another 😁

When I do an overhang test, I always have this problem at about 35°. Does anyone have a suggestion what could be causing it?

  • Slicer: Orca
  • Layer height: 0.2mm
  • Infill: 0% (this has improved it a lot, I think the infill was causing bulging)
  • Outer walls: 2
  • Overhang speed: 10 or 20mm/s (both look the same)

Solution: I mistakenly thought overhang speed in Orca was based on overhang angle, it is percentage instead (which makes much more sense for different layer heights). My 10-25% overhang speed wasn't set to slow down and that must translate to about 35° at 0.2mm layer height. I now have it set to 30mm/s and it now looks great 👍 And sorry, I was wrong when I stated the overhang speed 😅

Install Linux distros without grub?? (lemmy.world)
 

I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time.

Is there some trick that can request grub not to install?

[What prompted me to ask was I tried KaOS yesterday, and during installation it asked what bootloader i wanted and included the option for 'none'.]

[FWD Manual] Gear selection problem (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by UnH1ng3d@lemmy.world to c/mechanicadvice@lemmy.world

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I have just changed the clutch and now I am struggling to select gears even when the engine isn't running.

I don't think it's linkage related because it seems to be difficult to select gears just pulling directly on the arms that move the forks too. I don't think I've done anything that should have an effect on the inside of the gearbox, I've removed and refitted the drive shafts and changed the fluid.

Also can anyone confirm my thinking that the clutch and concentric slave cylinder shouldn't be a factor, since the problem exists when the engine isn't running?

Edit: Strangely, after leaving it overnight, gears are selecting perfectly again and I have absolutely no idea why. I didn't change anything 😕

I suppose that should be good news but without knowing what the problem was, I'm not very satisfied. Thank you to everyone for your help.
