I try to balance things between what I find enjoyable/ worth the effort, and what ends up becoming more of a recurring headache

Very disappointing. Does Apple sell Air Tag data to 3rd parties?

Just bought 3 since they stack and I’m worried they won’t be offered in the future XD

I actually emailed their support asking about the lifetime licensing, and they did mention they calculate/ limit the lifetime licenses to be sustainable. I hope they are able to succeed and be around for a while with their price modeling. Maybe lifetime won’t be for sale for much longer

Oh interesting, was there a Q&A or something or just speculation?

I’ve noticed this too. I have to open the app for sync to start happening. I raised this concern to their customer support and they quickly responded saying they’ll pass it to the dev team. Fingers crossed they add a fix soon.

I wonder the same

I read through their EULA the other day, and it seems everything is E2EE so only the recipients can see the data, but they do have access to some stuff such as last login, usernames, etc.

I have a few friends using it, and it’s nice once you get it going, but adding/ finding friends is a bit of a headache in my experience

I recently found out about Circles and was hoping to migrate friends and family to it, but it’s just too much of a learning curve to get things set up.

I have a somewhat dated (but decently specd) NUC running Proxmox, and it’s the backbone of my home lab. No issues to date.

Yes, also confused by this.

Maybe Piper Net (Silicon Valley)

Lot of trolls lately

I’ve seen videos that show having two touch enabled cards next to each other prevents anyone from scanning, since their signals cause interference with one another.

I came across the video when looking up those RFID blocking cards you can add to a non shielded wallet and they work the same way

It’s a case for a Meshtastic node :) super fun project

Thank you, and no worries on the late reply. I’ll check all of this soon. You are right in there being a small gap there. It is normally tight, however I did loosen it a smidge because someone in a video mentioned that might add some forgiveness if one of the screws (or leadscrews as I’m learning) is not true.

Those screws are/ were dry though. I recently put a small amount of WD-40 onto a paper towel and cleaned them up a bit (maybe not the best choice vs a machine oil or something similar).

Thanks, I’ll give it some proper TLC soon and clean/ lube everything.

Gotcha, thank you!

Thanks so much for all the pointers! 1, 3, 4 I will give them a try. I’ll have to see how to disconnect the threaded rod from the motor so that I can roll it on a surface (I’ve done similar with arrows in the past).

For 2, the top is open, nothing was modified. This printer was bought used years ago (maybe 4-5 years ago) and used to print perfectly. It was not used for the last 3 or so, and has gone through several moves. When we unboxed it again, there were a few broken parts that we had to reprint (the upper stabilizers that go around the support rod and threaded rod, and the y axis motor mount in the back). So it’s not inconceivable to think one or both of the rods could have been bent as well.
