[LS186] Ghosts, Glitches & Diode Drama
Manage episode 519118801 series 2965796
This episode drifts between Halloween energy and hardware frustration as Alex unpacks the chaotic reality of the Ortur R2’s repeatability issues, mis-homing behavior, and undercooked software ecosystem. From talk of ghosts and “Jesus Chicken” to real-world testing pain, the crew breaks down why great diode modules are wasted when the supporting hardware can’t keep up. They contrast that with a genuinely impressive update to the WeCreat Lumos, swap war stories about engraving expensive mugs, and share business-season advice as the holiday rush kicks in. The show ends with a candid discussion about YouTube’s recent algorithm shift and how creators are struggling to adapt.
