That's true, but they use nonstandard voltages on their chargers, and it can be tough to find an aftermarket that matches both the voltage and current of stock. Then you run into the "Dell has detected a non-Dell charger" scenario.

Check out thingiverse or printables for free stuff to print. There's so much to make!!!

Also, I've messed with Wanhao printers, and the slicer profiles were not great and did require a lot of fine-tuning. New printers either come with their own slicers or a Cura profile.

How long ago did you have a printer? I ask because the newer ones don't require much dialing-in outside of setting initial Z-offset.

If you're building a Voron, then yeah it's going to need some tinkering. If you're getting something like a QIDI X-Smart 3, you just unpack it, auto calibrate, and start printing.

If they don't match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.

Dell is really crappy about third party chargers. When you get one of their laptops, you are stuck in their ecosystem. They used to do this with memory as well.. then they didn't... then they did again. Don't know which phase they're on right now, but I'd dig on eBay or Craigslist for an exact replacement.

Yeah! I got one! /s

Seriously, y'all are exhausting.

When I saw the '/' I interpreted that as "or," not both. The ampersand could have been useful here.

No brisket or BBQ? That's a shame.

I don't know what memes Fox News uses. Someone said creepy Biden, and this is creepy Biden, whatever context they may have been used in before.

I used to work next to small commercial bakery, and they would give us stuff from time to time if it was near the sell-by date and they hadn't scheduled a shipment.

One day they gave us some of those tiny vending packs of muffins, the ones with two little colorful things in plastic. They were awful. So bad we bet that even the ants wouldn't touch them if we left it out.

It's been three years now and that muffin is still there, identical to the day we set it down (not counting the dust).
