How do you get that?

They showed the statistics based on their telemetry tools and said they match crash data.

Not that it was 100% from crashes.

Also the fact they can tell which one is in use does not mean that’s the reason it crashed. It could be crashes due to bad network handling or file corruption or something that has nothing to do with the GUI.


> Moving forward with a single code path going through Wayland is going to allow us to bring new performance improvements, memory optimisations [sic], and brand new exciting features throughout Plasma.

I wish they would have listed what some of those features might be.


They're still trying to figure that one out themselves.

I’m not surprised they’re not nailed down. But I’d appreciate seeing a “we’re looking at X or Y or if Z is now possible” kind of thing.

The maintenance and performance stuff is good, but it’s not exactly end user stuff. Yeah you benefit but it’s less obvious.

I don’t follow this stuff closely so personally I have no idea what kind of Wayland only features could exist that couldn’t before.


One nice feature is trackpad gestures. x11's trackpad gestures are awful, but on Wayland you can have the 1:1 multitouch that everyone loves.

HDR support would be one I suppose. IIRC it's plain impossible with X11.

I wouldn't say its "plain impossible" with X11, but its significantly easier on Wayland because its a far simpler design that aligns better with the graphics hardware, we're sending surfaces (or pointers to them) with metadata to the compositor, not drawing APIs.

That already works with Plasma Wayland. It's still a bit finicky to make it work with things running in XWayland (Windows games primarily) but it's getting better.

Did you really just [sic] a British guy using British spelling?

Is that a British spelling? Oops.

Honestly my computer gave it a red underline so I decided to do that. I didn’t think about it harder than that.

If I recognized it like “colour” I wouldn’t have.


It would be a good habit to check (for example on the Wiktionary – I have a Chrome search keyword dedicated to that) because those are not the only differences.

fulfill vs. fulfil

judgment vs. judgement

disk vs. disc (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/disk#Usage_notes)

hiccup vs. hiccough

diarrhea vs. diarrhoea


>judgment vs. judgement

In British English "judgment" without the 'e' is generally only used for talking about judicial rulings, whereas most other uses of the word contain the 'e'.


Prominent dual fans?

Hell no. Who would think that’s a good idea?

One of the absolutely best things about the MacBook Pro is that it’s silent when you’re not really pushing it. It’s incredibly rare for me to hear them on my M4 Pro. Normal work, including compiling, using docker, my IDE, etc. almost never does it unless I do something big over and over and over.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a single sound out of my M3 Air. I think it has a fan. I know my M1 didn’t.

Make the coolest computer you want. If noise is a prominent feature I will never go within 10 feet of it.


The M3 air has no fan either, which is a big reason I bought it, as I record acoustic music and having no fan is the best.

Didn’t they add one to one of the errors? Maybe the M4?

Now looking online they didn’t. Or M5.

Well I got SOMETHING confused I just don’t know what. Thank you.


Whether you think emojis are ok or not, there are times and places.

That’s not a time and place.


I know, I was against it when he added it, triggered a 5min discussion and I was "whatever, sure"...

Yeah. If I'm trying to debug a problem and keep running into error messages, the emojis would drive me up the wall.

I see very few ads and my life is SO MUCH better for it. I see how other people love and I can’t understand how they can stand it.

I only watch TV where I can pay the service for an ad-free tier. Every podcast I can I subscribe to to get rid of ads if I listen to it regularly. I had an ad blocker, of course. No ads in my music streaming. YouTube Premium, and I skip embedded ads.

Any ads I see are infuriating. I’m pissed at Apple starting to shove them in my face more and more. App Store is whatever. But MAPS??? I chose Apple because they DIDN’T do stuff like that.

But gotta grub that money to make the stock keep going up for no sane reason.

I’m all for regulating the advertising industry more somehow. I realize there is value to advertising at times, but they have managed to piss me off far enough I don’t care.


That was the name of the original open source project that kicked this off for all printers.

It’s a reference to that.


which is the project i'm referring to yes

Imagine trying to clean that out if it jams.

You can read the entire article without that, it explains everything really well.

It’s not like many companies in the world where the video IS the article and they just assume no one reads.


The article looks LLM-ey, which was really off putting for otherwise interesting content.

"If the model predicts wrong on your filaments, that’s a data problem, not a model problem. We need more measurements."

"… there’s a real path to a proper perceptual colorspace model in the spirit of Mixbox or Spectral.js – predictions that are correct by construction across the full ratio space, not patches on residuals. None of this is hard. The math exists. It’s a data problem."

"Not in some distant future. Now. The hardware exists. The slicers exist. The filaments exist."


> I'm hoping for the next innovation with mixed extrusion to reduce print times. We are lacking an automatic extrusion amount and nozzle size mixing within a "layer". Not just fine layers everywhere with mixed colors on the inside.

The INDX has extremely low waste when you switch from one tool head to another. Just a little tiny nugget.

It also supports different sized nozzles in the different heads, like the Prusa XL.

So I suspect having far more people with access to that will help push better uses for that. PrusaSlicer 3 is coming soon with lots of improvements (according to them) but we don’t know what yet. I’m hoping that’s one of em.


They’re not limiting you, the community work this is based on doesn’t either. Yeah they’re going to sell sets for easy use but it’s just color mixing. If you know the filament colors, which is what the filament database is for, you’ve got all the info you need.

And you’re only limited in quantity by how many filaments you can load at once. A full INDX setup on a Core One is 8. I thought you could daisy chain Bambu AMS units on their printers, which would let you get your 16 maybe? I’m not very familiar with their offerings.


The newer Bambu printers (H2D and X2D) allow up to 25 colors. One nozzle connected directly to the spool holder, then the other to four 4-spool AMS 2 Pror and 8 single spool high-temp AMS HT

Oh I didn’t know they had 8 spool models. Thanks for replying with the correct details.

I’d hate to see the cost of all that though.
