sci-hub doesn't get new research papers any more, and the new alternatives are all much less user friendly. As far as I can tell, wosonhj.com is what's currently recommended, where you have to post in a forum and wait for either a bot or a human to send the paper to you. Other alternatives, like annas-archive, nexusbot or STC all didn't have the paper I was looking for.
I just want old sci-hub back, honestly.

Got a point there, but it's what the sources say. One possibility might be that it's the teenagers that got scammed (or even just filing the complaint?), but their parents' accounts that got emptied. This part of the report is unfortunately really lacking in detailed descriptions of the data.

The headline is pretty misleading. Reading the headline, I was imagining Nigerian Prince scams. But in the article, they state "Compared to older generations, younger generations have reported higher rates of victimization in phishing, identity theft, romance scams, and cyberbullying."
Teens get bullied more than the elderly? Say it ain't so!
While GenZ is, according to their source, also the generation with the highest percentage of victims if phishing scams, it's actually millenials that fall for identity theft and romance scams the most.

The article also states that the "cost of falling for those scams may also be surging for younger people: Social Catfish’s 2023 report on online scams found that online scam victims under 20 years old lost an estimated $8.2 million in 2017. In 2022, they lost $210 million."
The source for Social Catfish's claim is data released in 2023 by the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. According to that data, in 2022, there were 15,782 complaints for internet crime by victims under 20 totaling $210.5 million in losses. In the same year, there were 88,262 complaints by victims over 60, totaling $3.1 billion in losses.

Every generation since the beginning of times has claimed that the following generation was rude, stupid, and stopped doing things the "right way" like we used to do in the good old days. It has always been bullshit, it will always be bullshit. Stop stressing, the kids are alright.

Thank you for the comment!
You can see the parts in the pictures in the post. Yes, as far as I can tell, only a few layers were printed, then I lost adhesion. The build did stay on the tank's floor, from which I had to scrape it off. The machine kept going until "finished", but did not print anything for more than 90% of the printing process.
I will try angling the parts next time, did not think it was necessary since the first test print, which was not angled, went so well.

Thanks for the suggestion! Just trying to understand, why would reducing the exposure time for the bottom layer help with adhesion?

No worries, I had no idea what TSMC even is and was confused by these settings having two different numbers, but now that you've mentioned it I was able to Google it and I think I understand now.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion and for helping me learn, I might try that!

It completed, but was stuck to the resin tank. No errors this time.

 

Hello everyone! As it says in the title, I very recently bought my first 3D printer, the Elegoo Mars 4 Max. Two days ago, I did my first test print, and it came out pretty good (although maybe a bit too hard, but details looked sharp). The only problem was that I somehow got an error message in the end ("error printing file data exception"), but the print seemed to have finished, so I didn't really worry too much.

I was pretty happy, so yesterday, I tried printing some more. I tried to print some exposure test files (3DRS starship https://3drs.com/pages/3drs-starship-resin-calibration-test and Cones of Calibration https://www.tableflipfoundry.com/) after slicing them with Chitubox. No error message this time, but the prints failed very early. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem might have been?

Here's some additional info:
For the first test print, I did not do any slicing or calibration, I just used the .goo file that came with the printer.
Cleaned the build plate with IPA and paper towel after first print
Did not clean or empty the Resin Tank after first print
Did not level the build plate again
24 hours between first and second print
I stirred the resin a bit before the second print, but maybe not enough
I don't know what the exact temperature was yesterday, but it was still pretty warm.
In Chitubox, I changed the settings to my printer, then downloaded the PDF with the settings for my printer/resin combo (Standard 2.0 grey) and put them in. I then dragged the .stl files into the window and sliced the files, exporting them as .goo files. I then copied the .goo files onto the USB stick and plugged it into the printer.

So, anyway. Different people will obviously like different things about EDH. Personally, when I build a deck, I like to do it to play what I find fun or cool, not to build a deck that has the highest win percentage. When you think like that, deckbuilding becomes more like game design, instead of being part of what wins you the game. It's like I'm trying to design a faction of a boardgame - sure, I could design my faction in such a way where it would win every game, but where's the fun in that? Then, when the actual game starts, I do play my deck/faction to win, because where would be the fun in playing if you're not trying to win?
I think you're stuck in thinking about deckbuilding as part of trying to win the game, instead of seeing it as designing an enjoyable game, while trying to win the game only starts at turn 1.

It's really neat that both of these have actual full audio versions this time, I appreciate them doing that!

I would steal this argument, but if it can be reposted here for free, then I don't think anybody really owns it. 🤔
