The red magic phones are looking pretty sweet these days. Anybody know how they hold up long-term? I’m kind of interested in the 11 pro. I don’t really even game on my phone, but a big battery and a headphone jack (which the Air lacks) is enough to catch my attention
Also commonly used by a good player to play with trash-tier friends.
TBT my friend restricting himself to only deagle no armor in csgo, WITH A CONTROLLER
What could possibly go wrong?
I kind of love that. Would be cool to see if it’s livable as a primary smartphone.
That said, the form factor does seem pretty restrictive on what games you’d want to play. The vertical format would make any wider aspect ratio games pretty much a no-go on that
Reminds me of “OG Original Gamer” by MC Lars Basically comedy nerd hip-hop about a kid being forced to get good at video games by his dad
Yeah, my oven is electric. Internet says 65C, which is conveniently as low as my oven goes
Silica gel has worked pretty well for me to keep a spool dry for a couple months, but I’ve never tried to dry a “wet” spool with it, so no idea. I’ve dried petg spools in the oven before, and it worked out. Can’t remember what temperature, but I’m sure that’s floating around on the internet somewhere.
Also the silica gel only keeps stuff dry if it’s dry itself. You can also heat that in the oven or a microwave to do that.
So yeah I’ve found petg (or at least the cheap stuff I’ve bought) to be kind of a pain. But if you’re almost neurotic about keeping it dry, you can get some super nice results. I only use it if I really want something to be clear
Looks like a filament moisture issue to me. PETG can get real weird unless it’s really dry. Temp is also a little low, but drying the filament will also fix the stringing issues you were seeing at 240
I think they’re mostly trying to prevent the odd death / paralysis that still happens on rare occasion, rather than a collarbone which is usually a pretty easy recovery.
Even then, I think this is going to be a tough sell, even for pros. Or when they’re forced to wear them, they’ll complain about them a lot for the first couple seasons. But then it will actually save a life and it’ll shut them up. But will probably never be commonplace in amateur or recreational cycling.
