Hey all, probably better places to ask this but you all know everything. I got a oneplus 10 pro, and it has a very faint microphone icon in the top right. It's not there all the time, but I've noticed it with firefox, and a few other apps.

I messed around with the mic permissions but nothing seemed to get rid of it.

What is it, and how do I make it not there?

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.

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.

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.

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?

My toilet, a few times a day starts running water for a few seconds then stops. How do I fix it?

Title. Basically I just want to use the Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone, it connects and everything but then no Internet.

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

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.
