Finally gave into temptation and picked this up over the weekend. I think there’s only really the HomePod now that I can buy which isn’t already apple. And perhaps the screen. Everything else is.
I’m quite liking it so far. The swipe gestures are proving to be quite useful and, thankfully, not easy to do by accident.
A strange mouse in a way for someone who has clods for hands, I thought it would feel small but it’s exceptionally well designed.
Just looking at the responses it’s quite a sophisticated bot. I suspect there was an actual human responding until early September (if there wasn’t the bot got considerably worse at mimicking human behaviour about then).
I saw in the last couple of weeks Prusa have started shipping their long awaited Prusa XL 3d pritner, and just announced the successor to their MK3s, in the MK4.
I’m super tempted by one or both…
Also got on my shopping list right now one of the Bambu Carbon X1’s - can a grown up take away my flex card please? !
MK4 is the same size/volume to my existing MK3s - but with newer, better parts and features - so theoretically should be known quality + an upgrade.
The XL is a large bed and has multi tool capabilities, but is $$$ - so maybe a longer term option - but would enable larger parts to be printed - but is on a 9 month lead time. It’s also using a CoreXY style of movement - so it’s a lot of “newness” to it - so its theoretically faster to print things with. Good for big parts.
So slight different features sets really.
Then the Bambu is like the mix between the two - speed but in a smaller package - but lacking the open source aspect that the Prusas have.
But the main reason is I’m an unreasonable human with no impulse control
I’ve got the v2 that was never upgraded so it’ll be like starting over, especially in the new place. Need to work out the warm spot for it. Especially as I’ve turned the heating off for summer.
I’ve got an o2 switch up plan so ive treated myself to the Galaxy S23 ultra. Having been predominantly iPhone for many years I’ve got to say the phone so far is an absolute machine!!
I’ve been wanting to upgrade my Google Wi-Fi to something newer because it’s (only) 5/AC but it’s worked perfectly since day 1 so I just can’t justify it
Is the juiciness of 6 even finished being waved out yet?
Some of the best features of 6 were still lingering for later wave aps so I fear 7 will be crazy to be bought now. I don’t have 6E yet but 6 isn’t bad on my aps although unifi ping latency is a bit crap.
My old 5 ruckus had stable pings but the 6 unifi are a bit all over the place which is very very frustrating for voip.
I am actually hoping 7 boosts latency stability most rather than pushing too much above 1gbs.
