I don’t mean to backseat engineer, but ensuring your BRAIN INTERFACE DEVICE succsessfully connects seems pretty fucking vital and worth of a redesign. Even if its expensive. Even if the probability is low, it needs to be virtually zero.
Its hard to take a step back and view this as regular product development that has timelines and such strictly due to the nature of the product. This is almost literally the most invasive a product can be, you better fucking nail your execution.
The people that actually would benefit from this technology deserve better.
The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks....
So my sticks still work, but I’ve worn down the rubber on two of the left joysticks so much its crumbling apart. Purchased in 2021 and was my main driver until that happened about 6 months ago, so a fair bit of use. Used that opportunity to try out the PS5 controller and the new Xbox series ones.
And I mean… they’re good?
The resistive triggers were cool and the touchpad is really customizeable. Xbox controller stays solid but boring.
Switch Pro controller feels great but weird to be playing PC games with. Nothing WRONG with it, just feels mentally disconnecting for some reason lol.
Idk. For me the Pro 2 and the wireless SNES sized 8bitdo controllers are perfectly comfy. Have an ultimate in its way to me now actually.

Im in the Vine program (basic not the premium tier) and they are actually very explicit that you need to review the product fairly and how you actually feel about it. Ive given out 3 and two stars before for cords that weren’t as advertised, shitty build, etc.
Granted, they DO want you to pump out a review for it within a month which is bad for longevity testing.
Of course, getting a product for “free” subconsciously probably makes reviewers a little more forgiving, which could be a problem.
Its definitely a nice to have feature. It didnt get regularly used because of wireless earbuds for me, but when I NEEDED it, it was always clutch. But I just keep a USB c dongle on my corded headphones now, its fine. Gets the job done.
Also for my wired IEMs, I use a wireless Bluetooth adapter. When I’m on the move I just need some noise not audiophile quality so its fine for me.
Apologies for being late on this. It completely slipped my mind! I drove across the country to continue moving stuff up north over the weekend, and just lost track of time I suppose. The threads here now! Expect another one on Sunday. ❤️
Thanks for taking the time to reply, and with so many different options to try. It means a lot, I really enjoy printing so this has been bumming me out a lot. I’ll try to get some reference photos up after work.
Hmm. I don’t have a specific filament dryer. I saw that this was recommended, but I wasn’t having any perceiveable issues with wet filament before this problem.
To troubleshoot I tried ordering ‘fresh’ filament from 3 total brands. Some seemed to print longer than others but still would ruin the print eventually by catching on the base print. This was heartbreaking because I really thought this could have bene the fix.
Will look into improving my storage long term so this can be crossed out as a potential issue.
Good call. I tried the all options, and brim definitely helps get good consistent prints. It didn’t solve my problem outright but definitely helped when I was doing initial research.
Can you elaborate on the process for using PVA glue? Do you put a thin layer on the future print area? Does it ‘cook’ at all on the bed? How is it better than using a gluestick which I see recommended pretty often?
My humidity in my little printing enclosure is sitting at 21%, so it seems like this probably isn’t the major issue. Thanks for the info, the other perspectives definitely help.
Lowering the Z Offset, Cleaning the build plate, using “fresher” filament, adding a brim support layer, and checking the nozle for built up filament seems to be the checklist to follow.
Appriciate the help, Lemmy was a last resort. Hopefully someone else can stumble upon this thread if they’re having issues.
Spent time printing last night and I was able to get a first layer that looked extremely similar to this. Was able to successfully print some smaller things (1 hour print time max). Scared to test a longer print honestly, mostly because if it still doesn’t work I’m just at a loss.
Side note, that red is super vibrant looking. Gonna grab some now lmao.
A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.
Every photo you take with your phone is post processed. Saturation can be boosted, light levels adjusted, noise removed, night mode, all without you being privy as to what’s happening.
Typically people are okay with it because it makes for a better photo - but is it a true representation of the reality it tried to capture? Where is the line of the definition of an ai-enhanced photo/video?
We can currently make the judgement call that a phones camera is still a fair representation of the truth, but what about when the 4k AI-Powered Night Sight Camera does the same?
My post is more tangentially related to original article, but I’m still curious as what the common consensus is.
Fantasitc expansion of my thought. This is something that isn’t going to be answered with an exact scientific value but will have to decided based on our human experiences with the tech. Interesting times ahead.
Great points! Thanks for expanding. I agree with your point that people most often want a recreation of what was perceived. Its going to make this whole AI enhanced eviidence even more nuanced when the tech improves.
