Not so much go bad but kinda like others have mentioned, moisture in the air will always eventually get soaked into it. It’s worse with other filaments - Nylon, PETG, and ABS are particularly bad for it - but PLA definitely shares the same issues. Moisture from the air also doesn’t just suddenly leave - you need to manually and purposefully dry the filament out with a filament dryer or food dryer. Moist PLA can print just fine, but the moisture can also cause the filament to be super brittle, and/or cause little bubbles or breaks in the filament after it comes out of the nozzle.

Not sure why it would appear to have happened suddenly after a number of years, but I have a suspicion that it probably didn’t happen quite as suddenly as you think it did. Could also be the shape of the roll itself - maybe it’s got little “windows” towards the center of the roll that allowed in more moisture than the closed-off portions and you only just now used the roll up to that point?

That group of 34 people moving to Russia have been referred to by some as the Russia 34, or R34 for short.

That was a great read - depressing - but a great read nonetheless. We’re fucked…

At least in the enterprise sector, you’re absolutely right. My company’s already got a massive list of all of the PCs that need to be discarded due to Win10 EOL. It freakin sucks because they’re very powerful PCs, but the damn lack of a TPM2.0 chip means they are basically garbage for our uses. And they don’t let employees take anything home :/ what a waste of

On the Pentalobe screw front, albeit somewhat random, I do know that all Samsung SATA & SAS 2.5” SSDs use Pentalobe screws to hold them together. Unsure if there are other Samsung products that use them as well but I deal with their drives on a weekly basis.

Okay so this isn’t ever something I’d even consider - but I wonder what’s to stop someone from just putting a piece of paper (figuratively) over the bottom portion of the screen…?
