I think you'd be better off just having a controller hook up and that triggers a bash script to start steam in big picture mode or lutris.

You probably could do something like this if you really wanted to but this would be clunky. If you're always turning off the machine after you're done using it, maybe it'd be OK but IMO, it would make more sense to just use KDE plasma and script something to get the functionality that you want.

You wouldn't have to worry about booting things up or shutting them down if you wanna switch between gaming and whatever else, you could easily make changes to it, and it'd likely be less complicated.

Hell even a shortcut that opens it through a button combo or something would work for this. Pair controller, hit a key on your keyboard, boom, steam opens. That can be done through KDE natively through the shortcuts settings. Very easy to setup and something I use a lot.

Man where was this post when in was DMing? lol.

This is super cool though. Rn I'm doing some film editing work for my friend, and this could probably be useful for subtitles too. Thanks for sharing.

DLSR camera is what I meant yea. That makes sense.

What camera do you use? This looks really good.

Not huge but for context, my most recent post of my cat was a little over 300KB

I'm guessing this was shot on a DSLR?

Yea not super thrilled with bambu lab for the privacy concerns but the printer itself is good. I just use it in lan only mode and block any outgoing network traffic on my router.

But there are other brands that are good. Ive heard prusa is nice but never tried them.

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.

You speak only truth. I love my brother printer. And HP printers are garbage.

Or they would be if they existed.

Well it doesn't look like an HP printer at least. Emma is very cute.

Since you mentioned having ADHD in another comment which I also have, some things that have helped me and may also help those without ADHD as well:

  • Remove friction from everyday tasks whenever possible. If you make it easier to get stuff done around the house, you'll have more bandwidth for other things.

  • Setting alarms for things that you have to do is awesome. really helps with staying organized and just being on top of things. same goes for calendar reminders. keeping a calendar took me a while to get into the habit of but its super helpful.

  • Anything you can have on autopay that you intend to keep like cell service, internet, utilities* etc. you should. It just makes sense rather than going through it each month for so many different things. *Utilities might not be good to have on autopay just in case you have weird discrepancies. one month I had to pay $1000 for electric. I called before I paid that lol.

  • Use a credit card for small things each month to help build credit. i have a card that all its for is my cell service. Its on autopay as well as the payments for that card.

  • Keep things in a cart for a while before buying them, it can help you to determine if you actually want that thing or really need it.

Also just cause others were talking about it, I find using videos as well a tutorials and documentation to all be helpful when troubleshooting/figuring things out, everyone learns differently and ADHD makes things like that harder. Having multiple ways to ingest that info can be helpful IMO. Not that anyone here is necessarily wrong in what they said, just coming from someone that also has ADHD, I get the struggles.

Even at 17, he still runs around every so often because he must. So when that happens, good time to play with him.

 

Howdy all, so I've been looking to buy a 3D printer for a while now and now that I've got some money for it, ive been looking at the Ender 3 V3 SE as it seems to be a good sub $300 printer from the reviews.

However, I've heard that there were some bed leveling issues with it after a firmware update and I've been trying to find information if this has beem fixed or not yet.

So to anyone that has an Ender 3 V3 SE, has this been resolved? Is it ongoing? If it is, I'll likely buy something else as I'm just getting into 3D printing and I'd rather not tinker with it a ton.

 

I control my media pc running Popos with a remote mouse/keyboard combo I found on Amazon and while this works pretty good, I would like a more "big picture mode" like experience that works well with using a remote.

I know theres some distros out there that are geared specifically for a media pc but I don't wanna reinstall my system. My internet is painfully slow at times and drops out frequently (yay for rural America) so even doing system updates can take a long time or just time out. I'd rather not babysit my pc to get everything working again how i want it so if I could find just a desktop environment to use that would be great. If not, such is life.

So far, Plasma bigscreen looked the most promising: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ but any recommendations would be helpful. I've tried looking some up myself but searching the web has become pretty useless for something more niche or specific like this and I figure the good people on here would have better advice anyways.
