    If you go look for a used regular PC case, older model will typically have more 3.5" bays. By older, I mean +15yo.

    If you have access to a 3D printer, you have options to make more drive bays on the cheap.

    You will have to go for a modern power-supply still, in order to have enough SATA power plugs.


  • This always pisses me off. More than 10y ago everybody already said that electric vehicles would be the path forward and a necessary transition.

    What did the European car makers do back then ? They said “oh you want EV ? Really?! We will make you an EV” and they all made shit like this: MIA

    Toy looking ass plastic trashcans that don’t even have heating inside and can’t drive 50km on a good day.

    Then they said: “we made your EV, no one is buying it ! People don’t want EV !!!”

    Then Tesla made a successful electric luxury car and they never quit whining and crying since then, and eventually dragged their feet into making a normal looking electric car. (Disclaimer: No endorsement for Tesla. Elon has always be a sociopathic PoS. This was very clear from very long ago, I didn’t wait for the Nazi salute to hate him).



  • They are talking about the firmware that runs on the device. The user front-end to easily configure it is another story. Hopefully it’s going to quickly get support for Linux as they are starting from well established Open-source projects for keyboard firmware (QMK and ZMK). If it works like for keyboards, you will be able to configure your mouse with something like VIA that runs on Chrome/Chromium (and maybe one day Firefox ?) using the WebUSB API.

    I have 2 keychon keyboards, an old one and a newer one with QMK firmware. Both have worked perfectly well for Linux. The QMK one is easy to configure with VIA once the device permissions are sorted out.














  • Second hand MK4 are still pricey. Second hand MK3 are cheap! I was on the fence to get a second MK3S with MMU3 fully functioning for 250€ but it’s several hours of driving away from me. In the end I decided to upgrade my current MMU from WS to 3 to get it back and running on the printer I already have.

    Prusa MK3 are slow by today’s standards, but they still print well, are reliable and customizable.
