Not that hot, maybe 50-60C, enough to get the moisture out of the filament and into the desiccant while not melting your spool or filament.
Was thinking to add a small fan to it one of these days, connected to a battery and on/off switch, but it's working really good as it is.
Just to add to this, i print mostly PETG and PETG-CF, barely any PLA.
What i do, is store all spools in a big sealed plastic tote with some bigger desiccant bags(100g).
To dry the filament(even if it's new from a sealed bag) i have a smaller plastic tote that will fit 1 spool with a heating pad(like the ones used for your medical purposes) on the bottom. Add the spool and let it sit fro 6-12 hours on top of the heating pad with the lid closed. Pretty cheap heated filament dryer.
Here's the heating pad i use, can be found on Amazon for $14: "Boncare® Small Heating Pad Without Auto Shut Off for Cramps and Back Pain Relief"
As i read it the insurance company reimbursed the crew that found the gold, and the insurance company owned the gold as well as they paid the original owners of the ship for their loss(but you can't own something that you don't have), they had to reimburse the crew that found it for their work/expenses etc. I might be wrong but that's what i got from the OP's story.
From what i've read about all their investment regarding this issue, many of the homes they purchased also needed extra investment/rehab.
I think they tried their hand at automation/ai purchasing as they had a lot of data but something fell really short of expectations.
What Z did is a bit outside of the current market norms so i wouldn't really use it as a market signal, i'm looking at it more as their idea/system just fell short.
But at the same time i was expecting the housing market to go lower into the start of this year, boy was i wrong as the market dynamics changed fast.
They paid above market for these houses in cash in order to get them and we don't know how much above market, only they and their AI know, that's what's causing them all the fuss now.
Same here, tried it on out last time out with the travel trailer. Canceled the plan after we got back home as it was terrible, and not to speak that we were in areas where it should have run flawless. Ended up using my main phone's connection for some of the work i had to do.
That specific point was more related to the market i'm in right now, so it's pretty much market/area depended and yes as you point out your mileage might vary as i've never taken rent into consideration for this use case.
With the market prices being as high as they are now and low inventory I would recommend you rent for now and get to know the new area/city first. It's a seller's market right now and there's a higher chance of you over-paying for a property right now.
I keep telling friends that i would rather buy a home with a lower price but higher rate/apr than vice-versa. You can always refinance, but you'll never be able to change the price you've paid.
Edit: Also worth noting that real estate markets are more local, so there exists the chance that you might still be able to find some affordable houses but depends on the area.
There is a high chance that they started closing their position. Just look at other long positions Melvin had and what those started doing, i'll give you a hint : they started going down due to the possibility of them starting to liquidate other positions to raise more cash for covering their shorts.
But this is also speculation, until they release their books on what they own nothing is 100% sure.
My comment wasn't really related to opensource, but in general to their new way of doing business.
Nothing wrong with changing the company's direction and trying to go full profit mode, just don't try to pretend everything's the same as before.
That was more a nod to the whole CentOS debacle and the way RH is doing business the last few years, plus this article relating to the free part. Not really related to opensource as i doubt they'll be able to escape that aspect, if they could they would have probably done that already as well.
Until they change their minds in a few months/years.
I really wish they would just go 100% paid and stop pretending they care about anything free at this point.
RH isn't the company that it once was anymore.
Edit: I'm sure this is not a popular opinion but it is what it is.
