Is Your Driving Being Secretly Scored? The insurance industry, hungry for insights into how people drive, has turned to automakers and smartphone apps like Life360.

It's a scam, anyway. I did it once with Progressive when I got my first car. Had good ratings, was promised a solid discount. Next bill comes and it's the same amount as the previous bill. I call them and they say that the rate went up but with the discount it conveniently went back to the old rate.

I recommend Rufus for a hassle-free W11 install. Download the official iso from the Microsoft website and use Rufus to put it on a USB. Rufus has options to bypass the W11 hardware requirements and to bypass the need for Internet while installing W11. This will also disable the need to login to a Microsoft account.

There's workarounds by going into CMD during the Windows install but Rufus makes it a lot easier.

Leverless Controller Recommendations

I have medium sized hands and it's very comfortable for me. No trouble reaching any buttons or my hands hurting.

It's just quite small. There's no real place to put your wrist. I hover my wrist. Back when I bought it there are a lot of requests for an attachment to expand the whole thing and I know they were working on it but it was for after they moved to a bigger warehouse. That was back in October, iirc, so I'm sure they've moved now.

I've not kept up with any of it but it might be available now. I know they're also very active and responsive on their Discord in case you have any questions.

If you use the audio captcha it's done in just one go. That's been my experience at least after having been stuck in one too many endless loops with pictures.

3D Printing is Fun!

That's my exact setup and it's great. I wouldn't trade it for any other printer. It being enclosed is fantastic.

It very much is a printer you don't need to pay attention to. Works as it should out of the box. Only thing you need to do is some maintenance. Cleaning, greasing some rods, etc... It doesn't tell you when to do it like the X1C (from what I've heard) but greasing rods is like an every 3 months thing. All their maintenance on what and when to do it is on the Bambu website.

As it's my first printer I'm not aware of any issues after a long hiatus. All I can say is that I often don't print for a month or 2 and it prints just fine when I get back to it.

I've only ever had issues with the AMS where it would snap the filament but that has only ever happened when my filament was almost empty and thus very light. I should've either weighed it down or welded the leftover on another roll. Plus that doesn't happen if you're running out mid print. Only ever happened when I initiated a new print with the almost-empty roll.
