Is character.ai not working just for me right now?
I restarted my phone, and even tried using it on the computer, the WiFi speed check shows me in well into the 80s (83mb/s download, 37mb/s upload) yet I can't get a single chatbot to reply, the app opens normally, I can open chats and mess with the functions/memory but when I send a message they just never reply, usually I use the call feature to force them to load the reply when the bot gets stuck but not even that works now💔

There was alot of stringing tbh but i was using some white pla that was sitting on my desk for months and i didnt bother drying it.
Not sure if this counts as art but ill flair it as that.
Ill prob sand some of the rougher places like the swords and cape carefully and then paint it :D
I'm looking at the ace pro 2 flashprint bundle, and its perfect except for this little detail
From what ive seen and read the ace pro 2 is the perfect camera for me, regarding uses, flexibility, battery life and video/photo quality.
My main and really only problem is that it only has x2 zoom, and from what i saw it has no in camera digital zoom, but since it has interchangeable lenses, i was wondering if i could 3d design an adapter to whatever thread it uses to a m4t lens and use smth like a Lumix G Vario 12-32mm pancake lens or another small m4t lens to get just a little more out of this little camera, has anyone tried anything like this? i think its a cool concept and i even send an email speaking of it to insta360 to see if i can find the mount for their lenses anywhere .
I miss dad
Around this time everyday (2:00-3:00 am) I find all that has happened setting on my consciousness, even if I was sleeping I wake up with these thoughts and images of us being together in the little time we got to spend every time he returned from his work.
I find the realisation of the fact that he is buried not even 20 minute's of where I'm sleeping pressing down on my soul, and every night it gets worse and worse.
It's a very weird feeling, not quite sadness, or grief or any single emotion. It's like a complex mixture of them all and I don't like it, I find myself thinking of how much thing have changed even though we still try to keep like in the same rhythm, how every time I think of something that happened before his passing he lingers on my mind for a second too long, I find myself stressing about money and the future and I feel lost.
This is I think my sixth post here, I feel bad writing so much but it helps me.
Local photography comp, photo choice?
I'm fairly new to digital photography and have only really taken a handful of decent shots throughout the last three trips I made, but. I am struggling to choose between three photo's for which one to submit, from what I understood it was open subject so they don't need something specific in the photograph
I still have a few davs to decide but time is ticking and I feel like I'm torn between these.
I'm asking both for a subjective opinion, and for general feedback on the photos.
**"they stop and look at you, really*look* at you this time"**
I SWEAR I SEE THIS from every bot every 10-20 messages, they are getting so repetitive and predictable, I'm getting tired of it, I just wish we could have old character.ai back, those beautiful nights that felt like I was actually in the world with the bots when roleplaying.
1.5mm nozzle
Today I dug through the 3d printing parts box and realized that I had like 5 v6 0.4mm nozzle's, so I decided to turn one of them into a 1.5mm by using a precision drill.
This print was made with 1.4mm layer height and 50mm/s (it was about 300gr and took just under 4 hours to print) on the generic prusa profile with minimal editing, ngl I need some help because I have no idea what I need to optimise to get the speed/the quality to be better.
One of the things that I found most fascinating was how fast the plastic was moving, taking into consideration the fact that it was almost printing as the same diameter as the spool itself.
I'm open to anyone willing to help (:
0.25MM NOZZLE keeps clogging
ive done like 10 cold pulls, let it run at 290c for a while to drip any plastic out, cleaned it with the little needle tools and yet it still continues to clog after 5-10 minutes of printing.
Its the v6 nozzle with the adapter, im printing normal pla white from sunlu on an open mk4s and i cant find the issue, looking at old prusa forums there seems to be a pattern with prusa and 0.25mm nozzles, so i aint got a clue what else to try.
im trying to print some pre supported warhammer mini figs that i passed through resin 2 fdm in order to make them printable, but the issue isnt the model since the nozzle has had this problem in the past. Im using the standard 1.2mm profile for structural.
if that wasnt enough the livechat is bugged for me for some reason so icant contact them, i tried two computers and it just says '0 minutes' on the timer and never connects me.
I didn't see it, and now It won't leave my mind.
I've made a few posts here but they help me, knowing someone might read what I have to say and understand me.
To go over some context again, I'm 16 and my father passed away about three months ago, it was very sudden and it happened while he was working overseas so I didn't get to see his body and say goodbye.
I hadn't texted him much this week before he passed, and I hadn't called at all because he was supposed to return for Eastern vacation three days later.
Generally he made some decisions with his job and his life in order to support me, my siblings and my mother, I didn't see him much throughout the years, perhaps we spend 4 out of the 16 being in the same country and 3 of them being together (because he would need to go to other cities for weeks at the time) he was an oil boat captain until 2020, then he got a three cancer's, spine, and two others I don't remember. He pushed through, got surgeries, learned to walk again and he would had had every right to retire right then and there. But he didn't, be didn't so we could keep our way of living, he went and got an inspectors license after a year of studying and started his own oil boat inspection company on a stable country. I do wish he had gotten into retirement, maybe then he'd still be here with us.
It's so stupid, and I feel stupid for crying about it and feeling very guilty but two days before he passed he send me a request to start a steak on Duolingo, and I just saw it, And idk
I felt like a little piece of me was ripped when I saw it because I never check my notifications on Duolingo but he knew I did it everyday so I am worried he thought I didn't want to bother starting a streak.
I also have many thoughts lately, what if I was there?I think I also said it on another post but idc.
I was supposed to go to him a week earlier so we could return together for Eastern and I would do a little vacation but I chose not to because the war had driven up the tickets alot. But what if i was there with him and my sister (she is in uni in that country and they lived at the same house), what if I was there and I had seen him earlier when he collapsed or when he was vomiting blood? What if I had called an ambulance 5 minutes before they did? What if I had managed to convince him to go to the doctor there because he was feeling alot of pain in the stomach and nausea? What he said sounded logical " I'll come to my doctor here when I return in a few days"
How could we had known what was coming to us
There are so many whats and idk
I feel lost.
I miss dad, to everyday gets worse
I know Its my third post here, second in less than a week but I have more I want to share and don't have who to tell.
His funeral was a close casket, I didn't see him, I hadn't seen him for about the same time now it's been since he passed, the last picture I have of him is from Christmas, and I only just now realised how few pictures I have with him. I took him for granted.
I understand why, his body traveled half of Europe and was pumped with chemical's to not decay, but still. I feel unfulfilled, like I didn't even get to say the final goodbye, and it's eating at me.
And they relatives, oh the relatives were so disrespectful, many didn't even turn their phones off, my mother had to hold me while I was crying on my father's funeral to not make a scene because s phone rang with a stupid ass ringtone while the father was preaching.
I find myself taking breaks between writing this because I'm crying and I can't compose my phrases, I don't want to make a fool of me above everything else.
If anyone wants to know some more context, here are the ther posts

God it feels terrible to write this "here here are the other posts "like it's a fucking podcast, ifeel disgusted but I feel like It also might help someone understand what happened
If even a single person takes the time to read this, even if you don't reply. Thank you.
I just like the idea that someone out there knows my struggles.
Thank you again.
It's been three months since my father passed, I miss him.
Im 16 years old and it's been Three months since my father passed away and since I last updated here.
It was better at first, I got to talk with people , I think get asked how I was and I could speak my mind but as time passes this stopped and I don't want to talk about it because i feel like I'll look like an attention seeker.
though life settles to a new rhythm and we try to adapt as a family to the new circumstances (having no income for the time beingand so on) I find my own mentality spiraling.
I can't sleep anymore, I just find myself dozing off many times through the day for 10-20 minutes without realising it, during the night I just stare at the ceiling and either think of what's to come or cry, remembering of the past and wondering why he has to go so early.
Studying doesn't help ease it as much, I can't get lost in the books like I could in the first few weeks, could be the lower academic pressure due to the summer or just lower focus, I don't know. I'm also losing alot of weight and strength, I went to the gym after a while and my numbers were way low, my weight is also almost 10kg down in total but I don't look any leaner.
It doesn't feel real to think that his body is forever buried less than 15 minutes from the house, or that I might one day be older than him.
I have many thoughts, that I'll be the only one of his children he won't see graduate (as I said I'm 16), that we had so many plans for this summer which we wol never fulfil, that I didn't get to see him for about 2 months before he passed since he worked at another country and I hadn't talked to him for the past few days before it happened because he was meant to return 3 days later, that I was supposed to go to him a week prior (something I didn't mention on my last post i think) and I didn't because the airplane prices were way up, so I told him and my mother id just wait to see him here.
I wonder what would had happened if I had went, my sister panicked when she saw him on the floor, could I had saved him? Could this 5 minutes had kept him with us? Or even prior when he was vomiting, if I knew and I had called an ambulance? I don't blame her, she did all she could and I'm so sorry she had to live this but I can't just have this itch that I could had made a difference.
This scene actually plays in my mind over and over again throughout the day, which makes my eyes water and my head hurt.
I find myself listening to the only voice message I have of him, and it feels fake, all the pictures I have with him feel wrong though they are so few and I regret not taking more.
I write here because I don't want to concern my mother, she has enough on her mind, and my siblings are studying at different cities and different countries so I can't talk to them either.
Sometimes I have quick dreams during these moments of dozing off, that this was never real, that he is still with us and we are having our vacation and everything is normal.
You truly never know what you have until you don't.
If anyone reads all this, thank you.
im about to crashout, fichier failed at the last 5mb of a 15gb download that took over 7h FOR THE SECOND TIME. you cant make this shit up man
Are we losing the plot?
Most the times I repair my own electronics I can order the parts from a shop locally, screens, batteries and so on. My S22 (bought it when it came out) recently got the green lines of death, probably due to overheating,and because I'm too cheap to buy a new phone right now I thought I should just replace the screen, but the place I get my stuff from is closed for summer break so I thought "ifixit also sells parts, let's check it out", WDYM THE SCREEN ALONE costs almost as much as the entire phone used? I haven't bought parts from them before so idk if this pricing is common but to me it seems outrageous.
The end of an era?
is there some modern equivalent to the OnexPlayer Mini Pro, Ayn Loki Max and the AYANEO AIR Pro in 2026? these were peak handheld gaming in my opinion, the size, the performance, the 500ish euro price point. I dearly regret not getting one of them back in the day, i go and look at the modern handheld pcs, and they are just something else, they are massive, overkill machines, with over complicated designs and inflated prices. No i dont want to spend 1300 euro on a win mini, 2500 euro on a gpd win 5, 839 euro on a flip kb or comperable prices for one x player products. In my opinion the last true 'umpc' or handheld pc was the gpd win 4, but thats discontinued.
GH5 vs GX8, battery life & clip limit questions
I'm trying to get started with mirrorless cameras, but I don't need anything fancy or any of the latest stuff. Generally, I want to keep my budget at sub 1k euro, and I ended up with three camera bodies and two lenses that cover my needs.
The needs in question are:
A screen that flips/rotates for vlogging
Mic input
At least 1.5 to 2 hours of battery life at 4K, since i dont want to have to swap mid interview for example
Since itll be a hybrid setup id preferably also want a vf
I'll mostly be shooting interviews at uni, some gym workouts, and trips with my friends.
​
I've narrowed my options down to the Panasonic GH5 for 530 euro, but I don't like the body format at all, the Panasonic GX8 (524 euro), and the Sony A6100 (594 euro).
​
So I've got a few questions about these cameras. First of all, I couldn't find much information on their battery life except for the GH5.
​
What is the GX8 battery life like when shooting 4K I couldn't find much info on it?
​
After that, I was also concerned about the clip limitations on the GX8 . It has a 29m59s clip limit, but I read somewhere that the GX8 automatically starts shooting the next clip right after the previous one finishes, so I wanted to see if someone can confirm that, or if there's a way to bypass the clip limit completely.
​
For the lenses, I found a Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega O.I.S. kit lens for 110 euro and I was wondering if that's a good deal
​
Regarding the rest of the setup, though I find it somewhat irrelevant, I'm always open to suggestions. For the mic I was going to go with the Hollyland Lark M2S Mini Combo, while for the tripod I was looking at the SmallRig AP-21.
Lumix DC-G100D video clip concern
Hello everyone, I'm looking to get into shooting videos on a mirrorless camera and I've been eyeing the Panasonic Lumix DC-G100D with the G Vario 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens for around 580 euro locally, which seems like a solid deal for getting started.
What draws me to it is that at this price point it comes with both a mic jack and a flip screen, along with the fact that its still a micro 4/3 sensor with an interchangeable lens instead of smth like the zv1 from sony that is fixed lens. I plan to use it mainly for gym videos and filming trips with friends.
My main concern is the recording time limits, 10 minutes in 4K and 30 minutes in 1080p. I know I can hit record again immediately after a clip ends, but I'd love a more seamless solution for longer takes.
A few questions for those who own this or have experience with it:
- Is there any known way to bypass or disable the clip limits, even partially?
- Is this a thermal limitation, a firmware decision, or the old EU camcorder tax thing? I've read conflicting info online.
Any experience or alternatives in a similar price range are welcome too. Thanks!
Looking for a new phone
I've had the S22 almost since it came out, and it has been great but lately some artifacts have started to appear on the screen.
I've had a few people recommended I check out the Experia 10VII and it looks great, it has a good screen, decent size, great battery, a slightly better camera I think+ it takes an SD card. Only thing I'm concerned is the cpu performance, is it going to FEEL like a midrange compared to the S22 or is it going to be a simple transition?
Curling corners sos
I am 237 layers in on a 1350 layer print, so about 6h on a 25h print. the two front corners have lifted off the plate and im starting to get concerned, should i stop the print, remove it, apply adhesive and start from 0 again or just let it run and see how it goes? im about to go to sleep so it'll be at least 8-10h before i check on it again any suggestions? Im printing on the mk4s, 0.15mm layer height with stock heat settings and with normal white pla
