Lemmiers that own a non-Tesla EV with a charging station at home, how's your experience been?
  • I'm never going back. It's so convenient and inexpensive. I've Decided to add solar to my house and now my fuel is basically going to be free. But even without it, 50 amp lvl 2 works great. I'm also in Oregon doing off peak charging

    Here's two cars with the PGE subsidized charge point charger in my garage. Bring honest, I don't always charge overnight. Sometimes I forget to plug it in. infographic

  • Steam Deck @lemmy.world mortalic @lemmy.world
    My OG LCD Steam deck Bluetooth is failing.

    I got it super early during the launch and it works fine for everything else but recently the controllers won't connect and now the keyboard won't either. I took it apart at night to see if the wires were loose, but they weren't.

    Guess it's only a handheld now, no more road redemption, stick fight etc....😭

    Samsung gears up to release Apple Vision Pro rival in 2025
  • Honestly all these VR systems don't matter much. I already bought my games on steam and none of them natively support steam. I'm basically in a holding pattern until one does without having to do a virtual desktop or something. Plus, no Facebook account, so those are out ...

  • What uses less power for a mouse, USB dongle or Bluetooth?

    I have been spending a lot of time working remotely with my laptop in random locations. And usually just plug my mouse in via the USB dongle. But just curious if there is a noticeable battery difference doing this? Seems like Bluetooth would be better because it's already powering other things anyway.

    Edit: seems like it's Bluetooth. Going to have to change my habits. Thanks all.

    I want to get my kid a better bluetooth mouse / kb combo....

    She's growing up, and she's got a framework 13 laptop with fedora 40, which is great, but she's been using hand me down peripherals.

    She'd love a decent mechanical KB as she likes the clicky clicky of the keys, but the last one I got her, a Lofree, basically bit the dust in no time.

    She's SUPER into the aesthetics but doesn't want RGB led's, but DOES like a nice backlit keyboard.

    When searching for it, amazon, best buy and the rest just pollute the results, so it's actually difficult to decide what to get her. Her birthday is coming up so this will be her main gift.

    What have you all had good luck with that might be aesthetically pleasing, that the quality wasn't trash like Lofree.

    EDIT: thank you for all your suggestions, I've sent her a bunch of links to look at and she's going through them now. I'll try to remember to post back what she picks.

    My daughter made a planter for her cactus

    She calls it the soda can planter, and I love it. She made it in tinkercad and I helped her print it with recycled PLA.

    EDIT: Not sure why the image didn't upload the first time, I'll try again.

    Is the Pico 4 Ultra actually available?

    It seems like it's out in Europe somewhere, but I can't find it to buy in the USA. Maybe it's not out here yet? I can find a ton of reviews for it though so I'm confused.

    Second does it have SteamVR integration?

    Third are there other Headset's (not Meta) that have SteamVR integrated?

    Ombi and radarr disagreeing for Availability

    In Ombi, I've got Movies -> Radarr -> Default Minimum Availability set to "Physical / Web" however when the movie add's Radarr adds it as "tba"

    It's creating so many spam "fake" movies that's it's wrecking our watching experience. How can I force one of these to actually respect that setting, I can't find it anywhere as a global in radarr.

    Issues using PVA with a Prusa XL

    Hey all, I'm hoping someone who has dealt with this can help me out. I've got a print that would really benefit from soluble supports. I spent some time reading about using PVA picked up SainSmart PVA 500g as it was recommended on a few different places though I didn't think to check, it doesn't have a filament profile in Prusa Slicer, so maybe that was a mistake. I ended up picking the only other PVA filament profile in hopes it was close which I think was PrimaSelect PVA+ or something.

    So I spent more time reading and people suggested print it around 190c. What I ended up doing is using the printing profile "soluble interface", which only puts the soluble material between the support and the print. I didn't change too many other settings (slowed down initial layer, turned off wipe tower).

    What I found is that the PVA keeps triggering the filament runout sensor on the hotend, so I kept manually feeding it back in but each time it seemed to just run out again.

    Additionally, the PVA would come out in big bubbles instead of thin lines. What am I doing wrong?

    Is there anything I can do with endless recaptcha's?

    I have noticed lately that several sites I've tried to login to, some I already have an account, some I am trying to make a new account give me what seems like endless captchas.

    The two notables ones from my memory, Etsy, where I've had an account for years and have 2fa enabled ffs. The other Unity, where I'm trying to make an account to join a friends Organization.

    After several minutes the captches just seem to keep going and I get more and more frustrated to the point I just give up and don't login (which is not really an option with my Etsy store).

    My setup isn't anything crazy, Firefox, Fedora 40, no vpn's or anything. Always from either my laptop or gaming system.

    Does anyone else have this issue? What are the options?

    EDIT/UPDATE: I disabled ublock origin long enough and only got one captcha. Seems google is trying to punish people using that. EDIT2: Spoke too soon, got my email verification, clicked through and back to endless captcha's.... ffs

    Weird mouse behavior in fedora40/kde

    I've just put Fedora40 on my Lenovo legion. I installed kde spin. I've got two strange issues.

    The first, when adding file attachments in Firefox, it opens the gnome file manager instead of dolphin. Annoying but not major.

    The second, when playing a steam game (fallout4) on multiple monitors, it seems the mouse isn't trapped to the game window, and when it inevitably makes it's way to the second monitor, a click will change focus. For this issue, I have been trying to use the kde window rules, but that doesn't seem to work. Nine of the rules seem to force the mouse to stay in that window.

    Is there someone in this community that is willing to test planters for me?

    I have a hobby 3d design business where I make things, and I have a lot of planters. When I make a new one the routine is, buy plant, plant it, take pictures, make notes about how well it works or looks.

    Sometimes I end up with 3 or 4 iterations of it. I have too many, no WAY to many plants and I can't keep up with the care for them. I'm hoping there are members of this community that would be willing to test stuff for me, take photos and give me feedback. Preferably if you live in the PNW or west coast so shipping doesn't cost a fortune.

    For example, right now I'm working on a little shelf that I'm hoping to put smaller, dangly succulents on and I've made two, sent one to a friend and need to test the second one. Message me if you are at all interested.

    Asahi Linux on MacBook air questions

    I'm debating trying to get my hands on a used m1 or M2 air for the primary use case of leaving it on my couch so I can quickly look stuff up. I thought about going with a chrome book, but all the snapdragon powered ones either have sketchy support or are expensive.

    I also want it to have a small form factor so I think I want a MacBook air. I don't have any interest in macos (which I use for work) so I was debating putting Linux on it.

    Has anyone had experience with asahi Linux, or the fedora spin? Could you share what works/doesn't etc?

    Is there a better option I'm not thinking about?
