My guess is the SL10 is wide enough that it needs the extra space available point to point, and as such is the only one that gets precision placement during machining.

I don't think I've seen a how it's made for driver bits. Would be interesting to know what special steps are needed.

What if I said I'm allergic to flowers and bees, also I sun burn easily.

There are many ways, many programs, and many processes that you could step through. Figure out what VM software you will use under Linux to pick your virtual disk file format, the sort when you are going to backup your existing install, and if anything is in your way like disk encryption.

If you can boot a live linux or pull the drive, look at qemu-img, I haven't used it myself in awhile for syntax but Google suggests a command like this will work for you

sudo qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 -p /dev/sdX /path/to/disk.qcow2

Rarely these days do you find a real Bluetooth only mouse. Many are multi mode. Frequently you will see tri-mode rechargeable mice, wired direct use plus recharge, fast refresh 2.4ghz gaming dongle, and bluetooth for travel with a laptop.

I've always assumed the expect the dongle on a gaming desktop and Bluetooth with a laptop as laptops usually have dual mode WiFi cards, but many desktops come with WiFi now also.

The problem with expert is we no longer have trust but verify. I feel most organizations just pay for services and assume the other party is a reputable expert because they are accepting payment. In reality "fake it until you make it" seems stronger than every.

Also the idea achieving true mastery or world-class expertise often requires 20,000+ hours of focused, deliberate practice, is often twisted. That is 10 years of regular working full time. But in that time you are not focused or deliberately working on a single goal. Probably closer to 20-25 years in a job I would guess, and that might still be low with the many levels of responsibility we are often required to have.

News grade expert is probably just some one that claims to know more than me.

my phone doesn't have ir or 3.5mm, and when I charge it laying flat at night on my bed side table the cord floats free off the edge so I can see the screen and turn off the alarm in the morning. With the cord on the other side it would be supported, not stressing the port on the motherboard and be closer to where my cable come up from behind the table.

I can see that, but with tech if feels extra close as the name will certainly end up on a non descript bullet point list of compatibilities together somewhere, or it will be thought of as an accessory to each other.

Thunderbolt Ai is an tool for managing Ai running on thunderbolt rdma network configurations.... that kinda thing. It's hard picking a good name, but this feels like something a org would want to avoid getting to close to.

Is this talking about Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5, is will this require Thunderbolt 6 when it comes out...

I don't think my cables are fast enough to load Ai, nor do I have it in my rack where I would be running an enterprise AI...

Stupid naming, why is everyone trying to cause confusion and why are so few getting into trouble for it. Maybe the original owners of the name should loose access as they are not enforcing the Trademark.

I don't remember why but years ago I opted for Moode over Volumino. Just upgraded from a pi2 running Moode 8 to a pi3 on Moode 10. At some point they upgraded to a 64bit base os forcing my hardware update.

Local library from a Nas, Streaming sources , mpd controls , connects with many platforms, started using it with Home Assistant music server last summer running my outdoor speakers.

I would make sure your fan is moving sufficient air. Maybe the bushing is wearing down and it's running slower.

Looks like your heat break unscrews from the heatsink, maybe some fresh thermal paste to help the transfer. Some types can turn into insulators if over heated too much.

The clogging I had was a result of creep because I was turning off the machine before the cooling fans could finish bringing the temps down. After the fans were off the heat would move up and swell the filament. After I started leaving it on longer and not using emergency stop for print failures my clogging went away.

That's great to hear, and brings back hope that there is a chance. Like Dr Who, lost collections do exist if anything is missing. And fans will go to all sorts of lengths to recover source media if given the opportunity, just look at the animated show Reboot and what the teams are doing to rebuild the video equipment that was used in their processes.
