We planted both raspberries and strawberries over the last few years and are getting so many we can't eat them all. We give them away, but is there something better we can do with them?

Edit: thanks for all the great responses. I think we're going to freeze them.

I know pre launch there were issues with the fan noise. I've just bought a 16 and it hits 71db when playing cyberpunk, and still 70 when playing rimworld. I've reached out to support and they didn't have much to offer, (reset bios to defaults, disassemble and ensure nothing stuck in the fan.)

It's virtually silent at idle and even when gaming on battery it's not very loud. Has anyone figured out a better fan solution?

EDIT: I've discovered the project fw-fanctrl. I made a custom profile that doesn't do much until the cpu hits higher temps then ramps to max much later. Will see how that works. I might post my profile if it works well enough.

EDIT2: It occurred to me, some of you all might be interested in what I did. Here is the step by step I think. I'm on Fedora 42 so you might need to do something more for your OS and I might have missed a step in my notes. I added a profile that doesn't do much until 75C and ramps to 100% at 95C. I just played a game of Beyond all reason and I'm pretty sure it never got to 85C even.

First clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/TamtamHero/fw-fanctrl.git

cd fw-fanctrl

pip install build --user

sudo ./install.sh

Just a couple checks to see if it's doing what we think:

systemctl status fw-fanctrl

Can leave this running to see any output:

journalctl -u fw-fanctrl -f

Now, find the fw-fanctrl config.json, mine was here in /etc

sudo nano /etc/fw-fanctrl/config.json

Add this section to the json (Be sure you're comma's and brackets match!)

"super-quiet": {
  "fanSpeedUpdateFrequency": 5,
  "movingAverageInterval": 40,
  "speedCurve": [
    { "temp": 0, "speed": 0 },
    { "temp": 55, "speed": 0 },
    { "temp": 65, "speed": 15 },
    { "temp": 75, "speed": 25 },
    { "temp": 85, "speed": 50 },
    { "temp": 95, "speed": 100 }
  ]
}

Then edit the defaultStrategy value to be super-quiet

"defaultStrategy": "super-quiet",

Restart using systemctl:

sudo systemctl restart fw-fanctrl

I've been watching Rob Dahm for a long time and he's been documenting an old indycar he got his hands on with the awesome cosworth turbo v8. Its super fascinating. I've been trying to find others and the stuff I am finding isn't quite the same.

Looking for more "doing it on a budget" vs like Ferrari's cliente program.

First, huge shoutout to @restingboredface@sh.itjust.works for the inspiration! You gave me some great ideas, but the spider was perfect because my spider plant had a runner that needed to get planted. Link to the imgur album

🕷️ Say hello to my Happy Spider Friend!

It’s a spider-shaped plant pot with:

Built-in drainage system

Removable tray

Detachable legs for safe shipping

A weird/cute vibe that’s perfect for spider plants or succulents

I made it for folks who love quirky décor, Halloween year-round, or just want something fun on their shelf. Think I'll make one in black and purple next because I think it would be adorable.

Check it out here: Support Artisans Co-op Or on that other retailer

Would love to hear what you think or see your own weird planters too 👇

Hey all. One of my hobbies is designing and 3d printing simple plant pots. I usually give the first one to my elderly neighbor because she got me into the idea years ago.

Anyone have an idea or a need for a planter I can try to design? I generally like more minimalist themes.

I've been trying to find a car audio community. So far I've not been successful. I've got some questions about upgrading an android auto head unit. Anyone have some suggestions?

I made these for a friend but others kept asking me to make more, so I put them on Artisans coop. I've tested them up to 45 pounds so far. What do you all think?

I wrote an article on my switch to Nobara Linux. I think this community might enjoy the journey.

Recently my daughter has started getting into playing the ukulele, I ran across the instructables post and it seemed like a pretty straightforward project, so I went for it. Video of it playing (terribly) in the substack post. I hope you all enjoy the read.
