I love that the best way to fix cast iron is to cook bacon.

Truly DIY- I could ship you a chunk of copper and some plastic pellets, if you need it in a ‘kit’ form I could include IKEA-style instructions if you want?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

There’s a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.

It’ll also need AI.

Should I not be cooking anything tomato based with my cast iron?

This isn’t so much a vision for the future, as it’s an option right now.

I can’t wait until work puts in car chargers- Top off the battery for free during the day, come home and sell that juice back to the grid, baby!

It may or may not be a string.

I’m interested in your comment about perceptions, could you unpack that a little more?

I’m struggling to understand. I’m imagining an Apple Surface, is that what you are thinking?

If I wanted to access my Jellyfin at home from a smart TV elsewhere, is that possible (securely)? Or would I need something that can run a vpn?

The SD card reader has nothing to do with the serial port, so you’re fine on that point.

I would just try and roll back to the bigtreetech firmware for the 1.3, even if it’s for an older Marlin. Once thats working, build Marlin 2.1, updating the configuration to match the known working one.
