I recently tried the flatpak this repo has linked and couldn't get it to work properly. First I had to google for a login workaround because the bottle couldn't open the browser login link and when I finally got it to "work" the rendering was broken.

Is there actually any car manufacturer that has decent hardware and software? I have never driven a really "modern" car but from all that I've seen so far the interfaces are typically horrible to interact with and laggy to the point where I prefer my car as dumb as possible

How would you rate your Voron for regular maintenance and calibration requirements? I got started on an Ender 3 V2 which I have tinkered a lot with. At some point I lost the fun in with the constant tinkering and calibration and simply want a printer that once built is rock solid and relible.

Typically I would say prusa printers fit this requirement but at the same time I really like the amount of options that my klipper installation gives me. Also I kind of want a cube style printer to allow for an enclosure with air filtering which would lock me into the prusa xl as the only choice.

If a Voron is mostly maintenance free it would be a great alternative for my requirements

I believe that is an Android 14 feature, not something exclusive to Pixel phones

Where do you see low bandwidth? Maybe over long distances but if I can give a pigeon a 1TiB USB stick and send it to the next city I bet it will be faster than uploading the data. If it arrives that is

Based on all the stories I've heard so far about senior engineers, if you get promoted high enough you don't even have time to write code anymore

I have a degree in computer science. Today I was defeated by my mother's laptop not detecting its fucking webcam. Downloaded the official driver from HP but I have no clue whether that one even got installed because the install scripts always ended weirdly fast without a success or error message. I will never buy a cheap HP laptop again.

Ah, I guess I was only looking at AV1 support in that case. I only remembered it was missing something I wanted due to its age

I believe its missing h265 and av1 hardware support and while it probably has enough performance to handle those codecs in software, I wasn't willing to drop more than 100 euros on a 5 year old device without hardware decoding for them

I used KDEConnect in the past but ran into issues where somehow media sent to my phone wasn't saved somehow. Probably some permission issue but I didn't manage to fix it. Also the windows client only allows selection of one file at a time.

Recently I've tried out LocalSend and found it a much smoother experience.

Yeah, I see how that makes sense. I typically don't buy "cheap" shoes but rather shoes for which there is likely a newer model available or the store has some other reason to get rid of the old stock and are therefore heavily discounted.

Exceptions can be made for shoes that have a special purpose, e.g. hiking boots or dress shoes in my opinion. For everyday stuff I look for the cheapest neutral looking ones that fit well
