A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup

It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

This morning's wizarding is a new case for my #esphome speakers. Specifically, I love https://www.printables.com/model/363300-esphome-speaker but it doesn't fit the ESP32 boards I settled on ( https://amzn.to/3JA0lpA )

If #esphome supported #i2s on #esp8266 this wouldn't be an issue. I have plenty of esp8266 boards that are roughly the right size. Alas, filing a bug would involve another fight with #stalebot.

Instead of climbing the #barriertoentry, I fired up #Fusion360 (thanks https://usebottles.com/app/#fusion360 !) and whipped up a quick alternate box bottom.

Unfortunately, some terrible no good very bad filament from #Sunlu has managed to completely jam my extruder right below the gear, so I can't print it yet.

I am so tired of rebuilding this stupid #Prusa. The hot-end was decent before the #mmu2 disaster, but that conversion and subsequent fix-after-fix has made it sketchy at best. At least I'm getting good at teardowns. (And I'm saving for the top MK4 upgrade to get rid of the PTFE entirely.)
