Is anyone using a peltier dehumidifier in a drybox?

Is anyone using a peltier dehumidifier in a drybox? - Lemmy.World

I’m reconfiguring my printing closet (~6’x6’) for a new printer and thought about enclosing the printer in a moderate sized cabinet (~2’x3’x6’ - one “shelf” of the closet) for thermal control. Since there will be inevitable opening and closing, as well as just normal infiltration of the ambient air (usu ~65F between 40-75% RH) it would seem like a good application for a Peltier dehumidifier to keep the RH in the chamber low and reduce my need to re-dry filament which has been on the machine during (inevitable) multi-day or -week downtime between projects.

https://imgur.com/ZvLBpMT [https://imgur.com/ZvLBpMT] <- gallery of parts I’ve been wanting to try and make a mount for space gaming to go with my office chair - a Steelcase Leap. The organic-ish arms didn’t make an easy way to create a clamp system, but in fooling around with it recently I noticed I could remove the armrest pads and they had a nice 4-bolt pattern. Since this is my office chair I need to be able to swap in or out of gaming setup easily. I added a 30mm tall adapter that lets me slide a 6mm x 30mm (actually, 1/4x1-1/4) bar in and secure at the back, with a plate adapter to mount my old HOTAS4 to the bar, and a pin at at the rear for quick release. The plates and adapters are eSun PLA+ which is fairly stiff but has some durability/ductility to it. The bar was supposed to be 6061-T6 aluminum but I was lazy and didn’t feel like making a mess in the shop, ripping down some surplus plate I have, and I was too cheap to go out and buy 1/4x1-1/4 steel bar stock so I decided to print the bars from PAHT-CF (high temp nylon with carbon fiber). The 385mm bars just barely fit diagonally on my CR-10s.

I have not loaded a game yet. ED and MSFS would absolutely bring my poor 3070 to its knees; maybe I’ll fire up W3:Blood and Wine for a screenshot slideshow. In the end I’m sure I’ll just drop back to 4K (or less) and let the TV scale it. OTOH, I’m using it at 8K for CAD and side-by-side large format (architectural) drawing review and it’s glorious.

Banana for scale but, also, the desk is 6’ long and the little monitor is 43" (and will be re-purposed elsewhere).

Oh, AutoDesk…you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

Startup/New Device battery drain in iP15 Pro

Startup/New Device battery drain in iP15 Pro - Lemmy.World

iPhone 13 Pro Max to 15 Pro - I just transferred all my data yesterday at 6PM and then must have missed the charger when I set it down to go to sleep around 11pm. I’ve done this before on my Pro max and it might drain 5% overnight. This new 15 Pro looks like I never set it down all night long - that drain curve is linear from my surfing on Chrome from 10-11p straight on till morning. It drained 32% in 8 hours with nothing but a (mostly black) dimmed AOD lockscreen. I’m told that Apple now does the same thing Windows does and re-indexes your phone when it’s new so maybe (hopefully) that’s it. My battery page shows Chrome, Gmail, FB, and Memmy in the top 4 spots (70% of all usage) over the last 24 hours so I’m guessing that Apple’s own internal iOS usage doesn’t show up (how convenient for them). Does this seem…normal?

Anyone gaming/working on a Samsung QLED 8k?

I may have the opportunity to upgrade my home office from dual 42" 4K panels to a single 8K panel. Actually, the two 42" won’t fit as my new space is limited to a 72" maximum total width so it’s drop to one monitor or go big. I’ll be moving my gaming rig into the office so gaming performance will matter but probably only a couple hours a week vs 50 hours of CAD and office apps. Although the easy answer is to grab the Samsung QN900C, it’s realistically more than I want to pay. I’m curious if anyone can say that there’s any day-to-day difference between the 900C flagship and either the 800C (or last year’s 800B) while I’m out looking for deals this week. I’m currently disregarding the 57" dual 4k gaming monitor due to the curve (it would obscure half my desk).

It's tragic that Iceland doesn't have Journey to the Center of the Earth swag - Lemmy.World

I looked all over the Golden Circle for some kitschy souvenir shirt to bring home and was hoping for a call back to the 2008 Journey movie with Brendan Frasier. Doubly disappointed as Aníta Briem (Hannah Ásgeirsson) is a native Icelander. Since I couldn’t find one, I made my own. (I didn’t actually make it to the Snaefellsjokull glacier in either of my two visits to the island. Maybe next time, and I wear my new T-shirt.)

I mean, the title is mostly it. I haven’t played DnD for…long enough that I know none of the rules and few of the classes. I didn’t play BG or BG2. It looks so shiny, but I’m afraid I would just be 100% lost. Can anyone say what it’s like to go in cold?
