I purchased a K1 Max directly from Creality in October 2024.
This was well after the K1 Max had recieved the K1C upgrades. People had been getting K1 Max units with the small X/Y pulleys and upgrade hot end for MONTHS.
I bought it directly from Creality expecting to get a current revision.
I received a rev1 unit. It had signs of use. I asked Creality to replace it with the current revision and they decline.
It never really printed right. Using their filament and their slicer about 40% of the prints would fail. They kept dragging me along for weeks. I assume this was to push me out of the return window.
They literally never one entertained my suggestion of returning.
Until I call my credit card company. VISA said to box it up, email them one last time demanding a return label for a full refund, and if they did not give me one, VISA would do a charge back.
Whilst boxing it up I noticed another shipping label from before the K1C was released.
So they had absolutely sold me a unit that was not brand new.
Now I have a Sovol SV08 and if I was looking for a new printer I would be looking at the Snapmaker U1
Or will it just freeze if you listen to 99% Invisible?
Between the what Mazda handled both of those issues and basically telling people to Pound Sand, I'm not sure I would want to get an even more software driven Mazda.
I'm not sure which specific issue you are referring too, but personally I had HW transcoding break with the new version and also direct play seem to also break with the newest Android TV version. Nothing with HDR would play at all, despite using an Nvidia Shield.
I rolled back both since I couldn't find anyone with similar issues.
That is not correct. The DRAM is not part of the same die that the SoC is on. It is separate packages directly beside the SoC. The storage is also separate packages.
If it was all one die it would be huge and have poor yields.
The core technologies that UTDC (then Bombardier, now Alstom) took from this is still being used all over the world. The new Vancouver SkyTrain is still using Linear Induction Motors.
This is what I found.
With Nebula and CuriosityStream, most of the things I follow are still on YouTube.
