Read the room says the person who clearly cannot read the room.

This works just as well as gboard!

Open source or not, my question is, is my typing data consumed by Google in this context? I'm not an expert in the realm of android libraries and their connectivity or lack thereof, but I'm fine with using a closed source library knowing the data stays on my device.

There may be using a card/drive manufacturers utility but I'm not sure beyond that. I'll usually abandon a drive or card if this doesn't work. With that said, someone smarter than me may have some other suggestions (linux-based?) using gparted or another tool.

Okay, when you're having issues with an SD card not formatting, I always try the following steps first. Open powershell or cmd prompt in admin mode then try:

diskpart

list disk

select disk

clean

create partition primary

format quick

Then give it another go. This will often resurrect dead drives/cards/USB sticks or reset them back to their old capacity when it displays wrong.

Awesome. I will give these two a go. Appreciate it!

I'm looking to replace gboard and I have spent about a decade using gesture based typing. Is there any alternative that is private that gesture based typing actually work on?

I think advertisers have made some impacts to the bottom line, too. I don't have any direct evidence for this, but I used to get ads for things like Pepsi. Now it's mostly things like Larry's Pillow Case Repair or pelvic floor steaming kits.

If you look at sysadmin forums and groups it seems like most recommend disabling recall. Just about every enterprise will have confidentiality, security, or legislative requirements that recall is simply inconsistent with. It's understandably been a hot topic.

Thanks! The light definitely needs an upgrade. I have a planted tank that's larger but this is my kid's. I've thought maybe I'd avoid a planted tank here just due to the logic that if they're soaking up all the nitrates maybe there wouldn't be enough available for the aquaponic system but maybe that logic is flawed?

Hey, man. Hell yeah. I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum. It's cool it's an option!

Too weird for me. I like it here now. That gave me the willies.

I'm in Western Canada and this is my living room aquaponic setup with a living wall.

I designed and 3D printed the basket holders filled with hydroton clay balls. It has a standard aquarium air pump set up with a check valve and siphon out of the tank to pump to up to a manifold above the top row. The manifold lets me adjust the drip for each column. The right-hand side is a mix of succulents and aloe plants which has a fairly slow drip. The bottom row is mostly newer plants that are being rescued from a countertop pod garden when they've gotten too big and root bound. The light is a crappy cheap amazon grow light. It will probably be the first thing I upgrade.

As for the aquarium, the plants keep the nitrate level to about 5ppm. The red platys in the tank are happy and multiplying like crazy (4 born in the last 2 months). It's to the point I am going to re-home them and I bought a 2nd 50ga tank to avoid overstocking.

After about 4 months, I now clean the tank about once a month just to get the junk out of the substrate and bring the water level back up.

I'm a total noob and built my first hydroponic setup out of PVC and a bucket (and my 3D printer). I started this a lot later in the year than I had hoped, but I figure I'll finish it off in the basement with some UV lights if it gets later in the year.

I'm in Western Canada and the temperatures have been quite warm in the past week. About 36-37C (mid to high 90F?). I have a small fountain pump that keeps everything pretty well moist at all times. Reading would lead me to believe they're not getting enough water, but as you can see the pods are saturated. The other thing I've noticed is the leaves are a bit yellow.

I am doing water changes every 2 weeks and fill the bucket once or twice a week. Every 2 weeks during the water change I have been adding a 2 part fertilizer to the bucket in a low dosage called Quick Grow 1-2-4 GROW (part 1) and Quick Grow 2-0-0 PRO NITRO (part 2).

The only other thing I am thinking is maybe it needs to be out of the sun for a bit longer in the day as it's getting cooked. I could be totally wrong, but the fact the plants are smaller than they should be at this time of year means maybe they're not as hearty as they would be in this heat if I had started sooner?

I'm open to learn and appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Right? Met them at S4!

I typically split my recommendations into 2 camps. Do you want to learn a ton about 3D printers, how they work, how to troubleshoot, etc. Or do you want to "just enjoy printing things"?

While the ender isn't a fantastic printer, it's a great starter printer with loads of mods available that will turn it into a decent printer with some time and effort. This route will help you learn about tuning, troubleshooting, and building to the point where you'll know your stuff once you're happy with it. Plus, it's not a large investment to just get started.

On the other hand, some people want to print for the sheer joy of being able to make things with a printer with minimal fuss. Completely understandable! If this is the case I'd echo others here in saying go with a Prusa mini. Prusa gear is amazing if you want to hit print and walk away and come back to a great finished print. If you want to have a taste of the world of the mechanics of 3D printing, grab a kit and build it yourself. It's a great way to get to know your setup and it will help you troubleshoot when the odd (albeit rare) problem arises.

I don't think there's a wrong answer with either route here. You just need to decide what you want out of the hobby!
