Hell yeah you know it is.
Being a kid of the 80s and living on the tail end of the Cold War this is just so weird.
The Republicans then, under Reagan, really viewed the Russians with disdain. We were constantly told - both by them, school, and the media, how Russia and Communism was the greatest evil on this planet.
Now all I see every time I turn on the news is some shadow of a Republican, gargling the balls of a Russian leader or representative.
It’s WEIRD I tell you, it’s like that movie The Manchurian Candidate is playing out only they’ve replaced the whole party.
There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.
My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…
I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don't recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.
OP after I got my printer and got it printing (using a thumb drive for files for a bit) I setup a Raspberry PI running Octoprint on my network. Basically the printer hooks to the Pi and it serves as a print server of sorts. You can then send files to the Pi, configure it to watch your prints remotely (with a camera) and do some pretty cool things with it.
There are tons of videos on YouTube of course. Just something to think about.
But this is a very stupid one that he doesn’t seem to understand how to work it. Let me give you one example that hit last time this asshole was in office.
My spouse works for one such import company. While it is US based it gets its metals and product from China and a few other Asian markets.
I wont get into the details as to what all they make but they provide a lot of various hardware items that you find in the large retail hardware outlets.
When Orange Man did this last time, guess what happened? They simply increased the prices to compensate and pushed all that down the line to consumers. When the bottom dollar got bad enough they laid off employees. Same thing happened at some of the other companies she worked with.
Thing is the US hardly manufacture anything, anymore. In fact a lot of the metals and other stuff we no longer mine. It’s easy to say ‘This makes sense’ well no, it doesn’t - he is running his mouth again to get votes without considering the long term effects of how it will damage the economy even worse.
Clearly a WWJD moment.
Felt this way with Skyrim when it was released, then BOTW, then Horizon: Forbidden West, then Elden Ring….
Like a dog in a park that sees a squirrel 😂
True. Could be they are all liars and just trying to one up each other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Everyone that I work with that owns crypto brags about it non stop. Like it’s some sort of dick measuring tool. I assume it’s the same everywhere. They just cannot resist bragging about how much or how little they own of it.
I’ve never had an interest investing in it and never will.
The US government now uses it to charge people indiscriminately. I see the term in my local headlines once a month, at least, where someone gets tagged with this BS charge.
As one person said I used to think ‘dear God they must have a nuke in the basement’ but anymore you find out the person just had a sawed off shotgun or possibly the parts for a homemade silencer and a prosecutor got an instant hard on.
Ah yes, the Pope of Pedos is judging others again.
The whole reason I bought my Steamdeck was because I couldn’t get the Portal (thanks to scalpers).
Now I hardly ever turn the PS5 on because I am playing tons of games on Steam instead. When I do I am usually running something over my LAN via Chiaki to my Deck so others in my house can watch TV.
Mortal Kombat gave us that sweet sweet soundtrack.
Because what sane person, who upon walking into their home and finding a loved one unconscious (or even worse :dead:) doesn’t reach for their blender.
Amiright, guys??
I believe that cartoon images depicting sex of underage kids is still illegal. At least in the US.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but seems like I remember this from a news article a while back. Maybe it was just a specific state.
I am not going to Google that one though to find out though.
lol yeah, nothing wrong with standing outside the door or stall necessarily.
Just standing with your nose ‘touching the door’ falls into the area of getting a bit creepy.
Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck.
I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right.
The controller works fine with that one exception.
I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?
Edit: just resolved the issue thanks to @PlasticExistence@lemmy.world: the firmware on the controller I was trying to use had not been updated. Once I did the issue resolved itself.
Thanks all for the suggestions and help
So I’m a huge Diablo fan. Played 1-3 religiously (no pun intended). I had intended on getting the fourth when it came out but a couple people told me they were a little unhappy with the initial release.
I remember the same thing happened with D3 when it was released but after a few patches it really turned into a great game IMO.
I was just wondering how the current play was on the PS5? What’s everyone’s take on it currently?
Like the title says. Looking for suggestions for multiplayer (LOCAL) family games.
I think Monopoly is available on Plus and am gonna download that to try it but am wanting suggestions for other games you guys have played with your family and kids in the living room setting.
Specifically looking for 3-4 player local multiplayer type games.
Thanks!
I recently got the new MK1 title (digital) and just finished the main story. A couple days ago (I think) this patch came out and I have been trying apply it - or my system has tried downloading it and it cannot. Rather it keeps giving me an error that it cannot install and says ‘Something went wrong’ with the error code of CE-100095-5.
I looked up the error online and found the results of that code was:
> There was an issue when starting the application. > Highlight the application, press the options button, and select Delete. Reinstall the application. > Keep the console powered on while the installation is running.
So does this mean I need to delete the whole MK1 game and reinstall??? It seems like it took me forever to download it the first time. Just wanting to get some input if that is the case.
Hello all. I got some cash from family while visiting for the holidays and was thinking about getting one of the PS Plus plans but wanted to ask some advice here.
They say they are all currently on sale but I know everything seems to always be perpetually on sale at the PS store so I wanted to check and see if right now was the best time to buy or wait?
Also, is it really worth the difference between the Extra and the Premium?
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys - my wife bought me this knowing I was a fan of the Alien films. However, I don’t have PlayStation plus. Is there any single player function in this at all or it is solely multiplayer online?
I promised CosmicSploogeDrizzle I would add a little more info about this game tonight. Apologies in advance, I don't do reviews so if this sucks, well it's my first.
I got this thinking it was going to be a full on VR game - it sorta said that in the title, well it isn't (buyer beware there).
The game looks to have three modes, Campaign Mode, Frontline-59 Campaign mode, and Conquest Mode (see the title pic).
Each of the three don't appear to require you play the other; however, the game does seem to have a credit system (for us new to the series). I didn't play the previous version but I believe I read that you would earn credits and prestige which in turn would be used toward earning you new planes/upgrades.
In the first Campaign Mode you start with a couple plane options along with a few load outs. You are given specific missions, etc.
Downside of this - is the mode is not in VR. It is completely in flat screen from the load out thru the campaign. You fly, change views, etc all on a flat screen. Switching views is done by using the controller. Here is a short clip, apologies in advance if it is jerky.
Campaign mode short video clip here
The Frontline 59 Campaign is quite a bit different. It fully uses the PSVR2 capabilities. You pick your plane, go through the load out and then hit the missions. From my understanding though there are only 6 of these 'set' missions. Am not sure what the free fly option is yet since it was locked but would assume it just lets you explore the area in VR once you progress past a certain point. While it was sorta cool to use VR to look around while in the plane, it was a little disappointing as to how the graphics looked. The ground (trees, scenery, etc) just seemed to pop into existence at a set distance and was very ragged and pixelated. So were clouds and smoke trails. You guys can decide for yourself, here is a short clip:
The third mode is Conquest mode which I haven't messed with aside from checking out the missions so I am not going to comment a whole lot on this one. It is played the same as the first mode.
You are given a map of the territories and missions to try but I get the impression this is the challenge mode of the three.
I got my PSVR2 and love it so far but the earbuds that come with it will not stay in my ears. No matter what adjustments I make to them they fall out within a few minutes of play.
Am looking for some advice as to what you guys are doing or if you have found some sort of ear hook to help hold them in place better.
I know for my AirPods, when I am running or exercising I have these things I put on them that do an awesome job. I can do a backflip and they won’t come off:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09HQ2P7M2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Only issue is that the earbuds with the PSVR2 are wired, which creates an issue with getting them on. I had searched through Amazon and I cannot seem to find anything that will work that is similar due to the cord/wire getting in the way.
Anyone got any suggestions or has anyone had this same issue and found a workaround?

Greetings all. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this if not please let me know.
Me and the Mrs. Have a few plants that we are wanting to move indoors this fall that we’re needing more than the usual window light.
We had tried sprouting a few avocados to see what would happen and now have three small trees in pots out near our garden that are growing pretty well. Our porch is not enclosed so the next thought was our garage (it can get too cold outside where we are at).
We were looking at some lighting recommendations. Amazon seems to have almost too much and I was not sure what would be best for the trees when it came to color, etc. I didn’t know if they had to have A LOT of light (I have seen some people say 5 hrs some say 12) and if it mattered as to the type or style of the grow lights.
Just got a new PSVR2 yesterday and am loving it! However as luck would have it, first time putting it on I smeared my greasy forehead across the lenses (nice!!)
So I looked up about cleaning and first thing I see is not to use the usual glass cleaners. The PlayStation site says to just use your typical lens cloth only but that is only going to smear the grease. As a person who wears glasses I have plenty of experience with that daily.
So what experience does everyone else out there have with this and what do you guys use? I know with my LCD TVs I have found a mixture of vinegar and water and a microfiber cloth works to remove greasy finger prints but didn’t know if that was safe for the lenses.

Posted this earlier in PlayStation but am trying here as well:
Hey guys - I know this is a slightly older game but wanted to see if anyone had ran into this in the past (or present).
I recently got a PS5 and my wife got me a few games for my birthday. DMC5 was one of them. I went to install it and it would not go past 99% no matter how long it was left (eg hours). Even after deleting several times, rebooting, etc.
After some googling I ran across an article posted elsewhere on the web that discussed a similar problem with other games that solved the issue with disconnecting from the internet then doing the install, then reconnecting. I tried that and the install worked. It seemed to then check about an update, did it and I went about playing. I played for several levels as Nero and checked online - saw there were multiple add ons (red and blue orbs I believe for a buck or so) and went ahead and grabbed them. It added them to my account when I logged back in. So far so good.
I tried later to add more red orbs - it would let me buy them on the PlayStation store but when I log in it is not adding them to the account (I can see them in the transaction history on my PS5) but no matter what I do they do not add. Other weird thing - I cannot seem to access the store via the game for some reason. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it - again - and still nothing. I had to do the internet disconnect as well this time to get it installed.
Anyone else had this problem with the game or any add ons? This is the disc version just to clarify. The first add ons worked fine for whatever reason.

Hello all - so I have been looking at the VR headset and have a couple questions.
First one is my main concern. I wear glasses, mainly for distance vision. However, here recently I have found I had to get my prescription tweaked to include bifocals for reading (aging sucks). That being said - can you wear glasses with the VR unit and does it matter if you are nearsighted/farsighted or how does that work?
Second question - I know there are games made primarily for VR but will any game work with it? Obviously I cannot imagine playing something like Diablo but am thinking maybe Doom or Genshin Impact?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them, got one, etc.
I had been eyeing the Revopoint brand but keep hesitating on buying. I don’t know anyone that has one and really would like to get more feedback. The Amazon reviews seem decent enough.
I am looking for something that can scan objects about hand size or larger and that I can walk around the object scanning. I don’t want to be limited to sticking the object on a scanning mat or turntable. I’m not going to be scanning minis (eg Warhammer). I do use the iOS and OSX platforms.
Good day all. Am a fairly new user and was wondering if there is one of the mobile apps that has mod tools added to it yet? Thanks in advance.
So am looking for some suggestions to try. I am printing on an Ender 3 with a MS direct drive setup.
I am using Amolen wood filament and switched the nozzle to a .8
I did test prints for everything I could think: retraction, speed, temperature, etc and picked the ones that looked the smoothest of each.
I did the PID tuning as well on the nozzle.
However, I have never printed with a nozzle this size. I tried with this filament and .4 and got non stop clogging. Some reading online lead me to think that maybe it needed to be larger since it seemed to flow so easily.
Well I got it flowing great but the tops or where the layers change look a litttle rough as you can see. I don’t know if this is something I missed in my settings or if this is due to the size of the nozzle and wanted to get some input.
The sidewalks are perfectly smooth - if that makes any difference.
Forgive me if this is truly a stupid question but I cannot find the answer and I have been afraid to ask.
Am attaching a screen shot to assist my babbling below.
When surfing thru the various communities (and please feel free to correct me if I use a wrong term here) I will see many that have the same name but only difference is that at the end of that name, there is an ‘@xyz.ca’ or similar.
I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?
However I have seen several - like the one where my arrow points to that doesn’t have an ‘@‘ location at the end of it. Can someone explain to me the difference here? Thanks
