WD-40 is a jack of all trades but master of none. There's probably a better product, no matter what you're trying to do, but everyone has a can of WD-40 lying around.

Yeah, I missed the custom allocator at first. I thought I deleted my comment fast enough, but I guess you were faster. :)

They're not big tobacco, what else is there to say?

They've already issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu before the protest, what more can they do?

Why would you want to do something useful or productive when you could be making sarcastic posts on social media instead?

That's only true for the high-end Pi 5. Lower-powered models like the zero 2 are still cheap, and they're a lot easier to find than a few years ago.

They aren't very useful for much besides hobby projects. Modern hardware is more energy efficient and will be cheaper in the long run compared to anything that would be considered e-waste. The only advantage an old laptop has is the initial cost, so it makes sense for a small home server.

I might be mixing her up with someone else, but I think she's a progressive activist and has never been involved in running the company. She's not an exec, she's an heiress.

There are a lot of other hobbies though, and not many other careers that pay as well as comp sci. If you can turn a programming hobby into a career, you should. You'll have enough money to find another hobby.

There aren't enough emojis, how am I supposed to know how to react?

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
