Any Gox news?

Yeah, it did give me a choice when I installed it, but since I don't know anything about computers I just picked one randomly. This is actually the first time I've had any problems with it.
Unforunately, I don't think there's any path without a full reinstall. Even an in-place upgrade to 10 would stick you in 32 bits as far as I know. |

I run windows seven that I got from piratebay on this 12 year old computer of mine. My old HD crashed so I bought a new one and installed W7 on it, it was W7 before as well.
I have a three year old laptop and a newer computer as well, but I don't have any wifi right now and I'm too lazy to crawl under my desk and tinker with all the cables and stuff. Besides, the laptops wifi stopped working a long time ago, it ran out of battery and when I recharged it the wifi connection was gone. Haven't used it since. But I might have to try and scare it back to life now, I just found it under a pile of old things and, of course, its out of charge. I don't know where the charger is so I might have to buy a new one, and then get one of those wifi things that you plug in to the USB port. And then I'll have to go to the grocery store and use their free wifi.
Nothing is ever simple with computers, if any other product was that faulty out of the box consumer organizations would be all over their case, but for some odd reason the computer and software companys get a free card.
Win7 was available in 32 and 64 bit versions and unless you had good reasons, it would be better to install the 64 bit version. Unfortunately, now 7 has been discontinued, you are going to find things harder and harder (though there is little good reason other than Microsoft wanting more money). I was hoping to stay with 7 myself but I upgraded to newer processor and motherboard and 7 just refused to install and I had to go to 10. You might want to start preparing yourself to do the same. Though I am really not that happy about it and I'm considering finally getting back to Linux. |

I suppose that we could merely agree to disagree, no? I provided my explanation and examples through a hypothetical - which seems to have put the points that I was attempting to make into some contexts - including if, in the event that I may have overreacted, I attempted to back up my various points by describing various historical BTC price points and holding the quantity of BTC held at a constant.
Someone, lost in the mists of time, was lamenting the lack of ATH in May so, tongue-in-cheek, I suggested an ATH loss to fulfill their need. In fact, it's a loss which is bigger than what the actual ATH was at the beginning of the year. That's pretty astounding that we got that high so quickly that that is possible in itself. That a humorous (and factual) observation led to a wall of text is why I say you're touchy. There is really not a bigger point than an amusing (to me) observation so I'm afraid the rest of your wall is for nothing. |

The virologists are now more dangerous to humanity than any group on the planet. They possibly represent the great filter for our species.
And the filter may well be population density - i.e. cities which have already been on borrowed time in my opinion. Modern hygiene has improved our lot but when people have no choice but to live on top of each other when things are bad, it limits options for avoiding risks of infection. |
|
|

but is that really saying very much, No, it's not. You are way too touchy  We can consider the quantity of loss matter in percentages, too?
ATH is not expressed as a percentage. ATH loss should not be either. Again: |

We should change the 100k party to 50k party so we have some partying to do while we wait for the price to rise  I've run out of reasons to drink  Still waiting for the 1k party to be rescheduled. |

However, worth to add is that i found out if you want to model threads, 3D Builder is unusable. You'd need Fusion360 or one of the free 3D CAD programs.
No easy way to get threads, that's why i still cut them in metal and press/glue them into the 3D prints.
I've done threads a few times in openscad. I usually hand-craft them but there are libraries too. |

So we are skipping an ATH for May?
I was told a new ATH for every month in 2021.
So bitcoin changed its mind about May?
ATH in losses. |

I have been trying to download chitu box so I can practice on my computer, but I can't open it, "software not compatible with win 32" or something like that. I'll try again later.
Wow, still on a 32 bit version of Windows? I'm surprised you're not having a tough time already. I don't think that's been the default since XP. |

I also doubt they would want to regulate themselves out of existence nor do they have the lobbying clout to get subsidies... but they might need to suck up to govt/banks/etc in some way and buy some solar panels from Elon. Again, a mighty ironic place for Bitcoin miners to be and mostly because some wall street brats pretend to be our friends while tweeting stupid shit.
The problem with solar is that it is a heavy up-front investment which you only eventually catch up with after many years. For miners, they'd rather be putting that money into mining equipment or could straight-out buy Bitcoin. |

Feels like we're still in manipulation territory. Keeping things under 40 rather than sliding the price. Unless it is just miners having a fire sale and trying to maximize return.

So, if I have a file (.stl) in 1:100 and want it in 1:87 how do I do that?
Make it 100/87=~115% in the slicer. STL files are actually dimensionless. Most software assumes 1 unit = 1 mm but sometimes not (or not by default) |
|
|

I have some suggestion to do though... I see that once you click the picture and the original file is opened everything can be read very clearly (price and time) BUT in the scaled image that text gets blurred up to the point of being almost unreadable. Would it be possible to make the text a bit bigger (maybe using ie 38K instead of 38XXX) or making the original a bit lower res so that it doesn't get blurred when downscaled?
Fair point. I actually made the smaller picture a little bit bigger because CB isn't posting multiple charts anymore so it used to be even more unreadable. I was also considering moving to mBTC so it would be a good opportunity. |

The slicer you use (I have been using Lychee) will make the files for your printer in the appropriate resolution. Resin printing is a bit less complex than FDM as you're basically taking a slice through a 3d object and displaying the resulting image on an LCD screen. Hehe, Mr Proper  |

And of course learn how to work the darn thing, is there like a photoshop for stl files or something?
You don't generally work with STL files (though you can), it's more of an intermediary format as it's just a list of triangles. There are many options for working with modeling. Most of my functional stuff is done in OpenSCAD, Sketchup and Fusion 360 are popular options but there are many others (Blender, for example which can also import STL if you're inclined) and Microsoft has a bunch of stuff they include with win10 which I haven't played with much. |

Cyberpunk is quite decent to good on MSI 1080 Ti gaming, but even those now go for $600plus (closer to 700) on Ebay (still, $630-690 is much less than crazy prices for 3080, which is nowhere to be seen at the regular price).
I was kinda hoping to stick with AMD for inertia reasons but they're just as scarce. I do have a better card in my VR rig but it's not really set up for K&M gaming. I may have to just go for it though. |

On printers.
My brother will be using them as well and he is deep down the bonsai rabbit hole, he wants to print bonsai pots for his little trees and he is worried that the print size is too small.
Any tips?
Print sideways? Depends how deep he needs them. I'd use my FDM machine for stuff like that though. |
