Than you so much for such a detailed analysis!

For reference, I’ve had a (heavily modded) Creality Ender 3 V2 for a few years, and I’ve hit a limit in terms of speed and quality.

The filament path between the extruder and hotend is poorly-constrained, making it a pain to load The auto-z calibration is often just a smidge off It uses a custom nozzle/heater

If it’s possible to install a Stealthburner instead of the standard extruder/hotend combo, it might solve most of these issues. Maybe some people are working on a V6 or Mk8 style hotend (I have a metric fuckton of Mk8 nozzles laying around)…

The fans are absurdly loud. All of them.

OK Noctua upgrades then. Compared to an already absurdly loud Ender 3, is it worse?

The mainboard is effectively a BTT CB1 and Fystec Cheetah on a single board Their software customizations are of dubious quality

Would a Voron-style mainboard + RPi + standard Klipper solve these issues or are there fundamental incompatibilities?

Thanks!

Don’t know if it’s better, but for free, Firefox Focus includes an ad-blocker for Safari.

I fuckin love vinyls, they’re beautiful, fragile, tangible, massive objects, but this is bullshit propagated by audiophile circle jerk who believe they need to break-in their $100000 solid gold oxygen-free gluten-free audio cables to properly align electrons.

There’s also a community built Flatpak if you’re ok with that

I have for my Kobo Glo HD!

Although I haven’t shared anything since it works for me but is a bit rough.

3D Touch is still working on my XS Max.

I’m gonna sorely miss it when I upgrade.

Where I live, Apple Maps and Google maps are basically at feature parity for what I care about. Directions, traffic, ETA, public transportation. So I’m using Apple Maps because fuck Google.

Sometimes I feel compelled to use Waze when there is heavy traffic and/or when I know there would be speed traps on the way, but it’s propensity to suggest absolutely atrocious directions just to “save” 2 mins (and I always end up losing much more than that) is the worst.
