  • 643 cad or 498 usd. It has coreboot which is cool but 385 cad built me a modified t440p laptop with approximately the same specs. I suppose it’s alright value for someone lacking the technical aptitude to do the mods or who wants a tablet form factor computer with coreboot at the current price which looks like some kind of introductory deal; however, the regular price that’s slashed out isn’t very inspiring.





  • I did fallout 4 and it worked. Skyrim should be mostly the same and most Bethesda games have packs that claim better looks and performance. I used steam tinker launch to install mod organizer 2 to the prefix. You could do vortex the same way. I also toggled case sensitivity for the prefix folder in case of weird mod behavior, probably not necessary but it can only be toggled on empty folders, so before install or delete and reinstall, and if you haven’t used the btrfs mod.







  • Edit: make sure the wires in the screw terminals on the pcb don’t have solder on the ends. Clip it and strip it to bare wire or put crimped ferrules on the ends. You can get arcing and fire from the solder softening and the wire slipping out.

    All metal or bi metal heat break, or just replace the whole hotend with one of those ceramic heater ones.

    Printed locking notched bed level wheels. I used one that had a number of teeth to match the rotation suggestions from the klipper screw adjust macro that uses abl to measure how much to turn each one.

    Magnet bed plates. I have smooth matte pei, textured pei, gloss peo, unknown generic textured black stuff, and something else I can’t remember. Different filaments work better or worse on different bed materials and get great results without derpy hax like glue stick. I generally do abs on matte and everything else on tex or super smooth.

    Printed abl. I use klackender. It calls for jap omron mouse click switch but I used kailh gm8 as a drop in replacement and it works great.

    After trying pretty much every z mod I went with belted z from same website/discord/git as klackender. Single and dual drive dual rod and pom nut etc all skipped every now and then but now any print problems are from other causes. It’s a bit involved but effort and cost to returns is better ratio compared to the switchwire conversion…

    Klipper. You can use basically any computer. I have one on a rpi zero 2 and one with a Dell computer that came with windows but is worse than a bad Chromebook. Both use dietpi as the os and kiauh to set up klipper and mainsail.



  • Back in the day when we used to be able to just leave our bikes anywhere around town and expect them to still be there, the one token black kid got accused by an adult I didn’t know of stealing my essentially abandoned bike that I told him he could borrow and what it looked like and where I left it. That kinda just stuck with me for the rest of my life. It also clearly stuck with some of the other kids because a bunch of them kept saying shit about Tyrone stealing my bike and that wasn’t even his name…
