If you want to print in ASA, you’re going to want an enclosed model. I recently bought a Qidi Q2 after going through the same frustration with my old Ender 3. My main selling points on it were that it was capable of handling stuff like ABS and ASA, and most importantly, gave me full control of the device. Unlike Bambu, I have the root password to the controller board (which runs Klipper), and the (admittedly mediocre) AI spaghetti detection runs fully locally. It also has a carbon filter built in, which is a must if you intend to put the printer anywhere indoors and print in something other than PLA or PETG.

And by RNG, we mean ol’ Larry. Don’t worry citizen, it’s purely coincidence that all of the winners are friends of his, and 90% of the laborers have brown skin.

If the management thought a fancy text generator was going to magically replace human creativity and decision making, do you think we’re talking about good management?

You’re probably wanting [ -z "${VAR1}" -a -z "${VAR2}" ]. Note in bash that there are minor differences in how [ ] and [[ ]] tests are handled. You can pull up a handy cheat sheet of the operands on most distros by running man test, though you’ll need to read through the CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS section of man bash if you want to see the minor differences of the single vs double square bracket commands (mostly whether locale applies to string order, as well as whether operands are evaluated in numeric comparisons).

All legit. At the end of the day, both the commands that go through systemd and the direct cat something >/proc/… or cat something >/sys/… are all doing the same thing - telling the kernel to do some procedure.

There’s some settings stuff in /proc and /sys that you don’t want to tweak without knowing the effects, as they could break things in hard to fix ways, but for stuff like beeping or changing sleep states, the worst you’ll do is lock up your computer and need to reboot. And even that is rare unless the hardware really doesn’t like a particular sleep state.

That’s because the person who had the solution removed their comment history, but the person who said thank you didn’t.

This is clearly humor, but for anyone wondering what the actual connection is, it’s that Mark Shuttleworth, the billionaire founder and CEO of Canonical (the company that maintains Ubuntu), is from South Africa. He liked the word, and decided to name his new Debian fork after it.
