He has nobody to blame besides himself. That's like a fat person suing McDonalds.
McDonalds loads their food with so much fat and calories, purposely, that it creates an addiction. A biological need for their food which is of low quality, bad flavour, and isn't even cheap anymore.

Guess what costs more, a small Chicken Club meal at McDonalds, or a footlong BMT at Subway? The Club. There is no reason for people to be going to McD's aside from convenience, yet they still do. It's mind control.

This lawsuit is not silly, any corporation who's business model is addiction needs to be sued out of their ass. MMO's aren't fun, they create a false sense of success for people with generally unsuccessful lives, it's yet another addiction.

I beg to differ, you obviously never played an online game like this or you wouldn't make a comment that's so blatantly media mind controling. I play Lineage and i played WoW before. And guess what, i quit when i wanted to. I played moderately and i had tons of fun. Just because people find some success in an MMO doesn't mean the game is bad, the fault is with them. The game maker clearly states in the manual that you should take it into moderation and rest between playing.
I'm sick of people badmouthing games for being bad when the fault lies with themselves. Chocolate creates a much greater sensation in the brain than a game and you don't see anyone calling that addictive.

But you must acknowledge the fact that not everyone has the self-control of either you or me.

Yes! Absolutely true, i've known people who got into the same game as me and spent days and nights of consistent playing. I'm just saying that it's not right to put all the blame on a game when there are still people who can take it in moderation and still have fun. Too bad that many people fail to do so, and then blame the game.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
