2.5 is still really new in the networking space and nobody has hit economies of scale yet. I very much also want to build out my home LAN to be entirely 2.5g compatible since 1g is limiting for my NAS use case (video storage), 10g is overkill and not supported by my client devices, and I only need 16/24 ports. but good God the hardware just isn't reasonable yet.

You pretty much have to bite the bullet if you really want 2.5 right now. What might honestly be worthwhile is finding a used enterprise 1g switch with the number of ports you need, and will still be "enough", as those can be had for only a couple hundred dollars. Sit on that for 2-3 years until the 2.5g and 5g hardware market starts to fill out and you can decide how badly you need 2.5g then

Really. Anything branded from Samsung or Crucial(Micron) is going to be fine. They are the top producers of NAND, produce high quality products, and stand behind warranties. But you are gonna pay out the nose for the privilege of enterprise grade hardware.

You might just be buying lower quality consumer SSD's though, since even they should be able to handle a surprising amount of abuse.

Being from a very rural area: guns are tools. They provide self defense against wildlife and crazy humans when you're miles outside of law enforcement coverage, they are pest control, and they are a humane way of euthanasia when a farm animal is suffering.

And like most other tools, such as drills, post hole augers, machine lathes, tractors, cars, etc... they can maim and kill indiscriminately when used incorrectly or maliciously. But you cannot simply ban or remove the tool from everywhere because it is still serves a very important purpose. Can they be more controlled, education made mandatory, more stringent confiscation rules in the case of people with mental illness? Yes, and probably should. But you will never eliminate the firearm completely.

I am prepared to recieve the hate and downvotes for providing a measured, reasonable response.

Often a combination of temp too high, not enough retraction, or water contaminated filament.

If the plastic in the hot end is too hot it will keep "running" out of the nozzle after retraction and you'll get strings. Similarly if you don't retract enough to actually pull plastic out of the nozzle during a rapid move, it will want to keep pushing thru. This is supported by the little blobs it leaves on that angled surface corner its travelling to when stringing, thats excess material squeezing out during its rapid moves then being left on that wall.
And if there's water in your filament all bets are off on how it'll behave.

215 is pretty warm for that esun PLA especially if you're using the stock brass nozzle, try bumping that down to 205 or even 200, and increase your retraction speed and distance settings in prusaslicer a tiny amount (0.1mm distance, 2mm/s speed at a time until you see improvement is plenty)

Use a temperature calibration tower to test things out.

Oh I couldn't even see that tooth at first. I just saw the varying layer width.

That's definitely going to be a slicer or model error. Make sure your input STL doesn't have any missing faces or geometry and that the teeth were generated correctly

Looks like that's a bed leveling problem. You can change the z height all you want but if the bed isn't level to your Z axis, one side will always be too shallow and one side tooDutch? If it gets too close the nozzle it'll put out almost no plastic which I think is what youre seeing.

Considering there is what appears to be a fixed-stepdown 12 volt AC transformer on the line side of that board, I'd be surprised if you will change anything higher via IC's.

This may be switch-regulated for rectification and line voltage correction but it definitely does not look modifiable.

They still do. There's so much shit in Windows 10/11that could phone home and shut down your install if you don't have a valid license, but Microsoft doesn't actually give a shit if you have a license or not. They just want to make sure you have their botnet installed and not any other OS.

What's the shore hardness on that TPU? Not every TPU is the same.

Most generic printer TPU's are around 90 to 95A shore hardness, which ensures extruder compatibility. It's "flexible" but very stiff. It's best for stuff like compliant structural parts that need to be shock absorbent but still strong.

Stuff like ninjaflex gets down around 40A iirc, which is considerably more rubber-like. However, Compatibility depends on your printer. Ninjaflex is OK in direct drive extruders with the right feed teeth, but pretty tough to get good results out of if you have a Bowden extruder because it will want to bunch up and compress inside the feed tube.

You also have to minimize infill and wall thickness when slicing to get the most flexibility.

Basically you want a handheld tally counter?

You'd need one for every player and I don't see any multi-counter units immediately hopping out at me. But they exist.

Aside from hard science and engineering degrees where the technical knowledge is a foundation for what you'll learn in industry, a college degree is simply a piece of paper that says "I received a balanced education and have my life together enough to focus, manage time, and complete tasks reliably for 4 years straight." Rarely do you ever use most of the knowledge you gained in college besides the aforementioned life management skills.
