Wasn't he one of Obama's bodyguard or something like that?

My OS takes up about 25gb. I have individual games that take up more than 100gb. That kind of OS/storage split is necessary nowadays.

Moving from a 5600X to a 7900X3D, pretty big upgrade.

If you don’t actually offer content you have the copyright for them you shouldn’t be allowed to prevent people from distributing it as abandonware.

That's what I'm replying to. You have the copyright for everything you create. If you don't put it up for sale, they're saying everyone should be allowed to distribute it. That's kind of fucked.

The current copyright system is absurd, but protecting an artist's work in the short term is what copyright was meant for originally. 70 years post death is way beyond ridiculous, but something like 5 years from conception makes sense. That way a creator gets a short period to profit off their work while it's protected, and then it would enter public domain and anyone could do as they wish with it.

Unfortunately it would still allow a situation where someone presents a screenplay to a studio, and gets turned down, and then 5 years later the studio makes a movie from that screenplay and makes a billion dollars without the creator getting anything from it. That's what copyright is meant to prevent, but it has definitely gotten twisted and corrupted over the years, mostly thanks to Disney.

So literally every doodle you make and anything you write must be available for purchase? Because you have a copyright on ALL that stuff. Copyrights are automatic.

Your diary? Copyrighted.
Your margin scribbles while you're on the phone? Copyrighted.
That furry midget hentai that you draw for your own "entertainment"? Well, you get the point.

Granted, the copyright system is fucked, but some of the rules exist for good reason, and forcing everyone to release their copyrights if they won't sell their art is ridiculous. I will certainly agree that the copyright/trademark systems badly need an overhaul.

I don't have anything important to back up, I would just like to avoid reinstalling everything, particularly my Steam library.

If I can save myself the trouble, that's all I want. I know Windows doesn't like that kind of upgrades and you end up with a ton of useless drivers sitting around for nothing, but I haven't been on Windows in a couple years.

Are there any software issues I may/should deal with when doing a full system upgrade? I'm going from AM4 to AM5, so new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

It should be pretty straightforward under Linux, right? Just swap my drives over and boot up? I've only ever done single upgrades at a time, never a full generation.

Does it also have the power-limiting features?

The SCOTUS has decided that precedent is no longer the basis of the American legal system and is throwing out existing settled law willy nilly. The legal syatem is fully broken at this point.

So it's a SFF case meant for NAS use. It has 5 slide-in 3.5" drive bays and can only handle a low-profile PCIE card.

I'm thinking of picking one up and mangling it to force in a 2-slot GPU. I want to basically remove the drive bays and the PCB with the SATA slots, ditch the PSU frame, move the motherboard frame back or flip it around, and 3d print a new backplate for the case.

I'd stick the PSU where the drive bay used to be and run an extension to the back of the case, and then there should be room for a full-sized GPU mounted vertically in the case.

Do you think this would be achievable? Am I crazy for even thinking about it?

Now if only I could also fit an AIO in there.

Water when the soil is dry, but before the plant gets droopy. The flies are probably around because it's too damp and growing mold.

I've had the game running fine for months, but experience constant crashes if I have foliage and fluid interaction enabled. Has anyone been able to run the game with this on?

Currently on Pop!OS running a 6700XT, and having the issue under both X and Wayland.

Is anybody else dealing with this? In game mode updates install normally, but if I go into desktop mode, updates stall and never finish downloading. And unfortunately you don't get to install desktop updates from game mode.

My internet connection works fine on firefox, and is plenty fast, so it's not a connectivity issue. I'm not sure what's going on.

A friend of mine was a gamer many years ago but hasn't been gaming in a while. They run a Mac and I run a PC. What are some good patient games we can play together?

Every time I use calibrate_probe, I get the message "The SAVE_CONFIG command will update the printer config file with the above and restart the printer."

When I click Save Config, it restarts the firmware, and then I get the warning "Option 'z_offset' in section 'bltouch' must be specified."

If I go check my printer.cfg, the [bltouch] section now has z_offset commented out with the old value and I have to remove the comment and copy in the new value.

Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?

I'm getting increasingly frustrated trying to get my printer calibrated. I've done a bed calibration using screws_tilt_calculate, and that's all nice and good. Got a bed mesh variance of 0.19mm which seems great.

Now for the z-offset, it won't let me get the nozzle low enough. No matter how low I set the Z minimum, it won't let me get closer than about 0.5mm to the bed. I've tried setting the position_min in [stepper_z] anywhere from 0 to -9 and I get the same result every time.

If I raise the bed, the probe adjust its height accordingly, so the result is the same.

What can I do to fix this?

I picked it up and have been playing it. The first day, it seemed to run fine, but today I've been having a ton of trouble with it. I'm struggling to go 15 minutes without crashing, and when it does crash, Steam stops responding entirely until I reboot.

Edit: I can't explain why, but after checking my logs, whenever my computer full-crashes, it's apparently caused by bluetooth, despite not having any connected bluetooth devices. I've disabled the bluetooth service, and now the game only crashes to desktop. Small wins, I guess.

Another edit: I appear to have fixed my problem. I installed gamemode via apt, and added 'gamemoderun %command%' to the launch options in Steam. Haven't crashed since.

I want to print a simple mechanism to adjust the distance between two pieces with a screw that can't come out of its socket on either end. What's the easiest way to model this?

I just got a glass build plate for my S1 Pro, and I'm not sure of the best way to use it. The bed has two screws at the back that stick up a bit past the magnetic sheet and the PEI build plate has two notches to accommodate them, which helps line up the plate. The glass build plate doesn't have any notches, so it can't go flush all the way to the back.

The glass plate is sized the same as the bed, but it can't fit on the bed without hanging off the front of it. Is this normal?

Edit: So the screws on the bed are literally just for the alignment of the magnetic PEI plate. They can be taken out without issue. I tried looking up videos before I posted, and none of them have the same bed as mine, they all seem to have a full-surface magnetic sheet and a full-surface PEI plate.

I've recently harvested about 5 lbs of habaneros from two plants I was growing. What the hell do I do with so many peppers? I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to give at least half of them away.
