Yeahhh I think it will be to be honest lol. She doesn’t really write anything positive about them.

Well it kinda is because that certificate is needed for the phoning home. If it didn’t need to communicate at all it wouldn’t have needed an SSL certificate so there would have been nothing to expire.

Cool but if you handle complex documents with stuff like macros you’re straight out of luck. Even if you can get some compatibility you’re never going to be quite sure it will all work and look perfectly.

This is how Microsoft keeps their position.

She came there realising the potential of political influence and tried to turn it into a power for good. She failed, obviously.

I think she’s a good person if a little naive.

It’s not Windows but I know what you mean. And totally agree.

This is so sad. I read her book. She’s a really good and brave person.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears so determined to win the AI race that he is willing to sacrifice some employee privacy to make it happen.

“Some of you will die but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”

Agreed, it’s all very commercial. It’s nice that there’s a way to run it self hosted but in that case I prefer something like LightNVR.

We started on this project a long time ago to fix these issues by making it so that no cloud provider can see your home security videos.

Just like standard ONVIF RTSP cams with a local NVR? It’s not like this is a new thing.

“Now it’s your time to realize your dreams,” he told graduates. “The timing could not be more perfect.”

My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.

Ehh HBM3 memory is definitey very useful in consumer GPUs. I have a prosumer one with HBM2 and it helps. The bandwidth is several times that of GDDRX!

This is not bad at all. Go for it 😍

I thought it would take yeeeeeaaaars to build new factories. That’s what they were saying when it started.

If you “just care about printing stuff” then why would you go with the walled garden that relies on userlocks, proprietary formats, and forced network connectivity to function? Not to mention the fire risk and rug pulling…

Because I don’t care about the walled garden. The only thing I would mind is locking down filament but they don’t do that. So these things aren’t a negative to me. Not a positive either, just a neutral.

That Kobra looks nice, all the Anycubics I’ve seen in our makerspace are all the old ones that are basically Prusa Mk3 knockoffs. And it’s affordable, it looks basically like an A1 but with 4 colour printing without the ams. Nice! I’d consider that for my next printer.

I’m not saying it’s the only option but it’s a good option for the price if you just care about printing stuff.

And the options you mention aren’t real alternatives. For €180 my A1 mini is really great value, and so was my P1S. I haven’t seen anything that comes close to the print quality and printer design for a similar price. An ender would be of similar price but it looks like a science project and it’s not nearly as capable without a lot of manual tuning and upgrades.

Prusa is way too expensive for me. Anycubic and Creality are cheap Prusa knockoffs that need a lot of tuning to perform well. We have a lot of CR-10s and Enders in the makerspace but they’re always out of order for maintenance or some upgrade.

And regarding the slicer I really don’t care which slicer I use. It just has to do its job.

Me too :) I even had a Usenet account at work in the 90s. It was pretty great at the time and more social than current social media.

I like my Bambu printers but I’m not shitting on Prusa. They do a good job. They’re just too expensive for me.

Not exactly. You can use any filament (analogous to the ink) and they have said they won’t limit that. They have rfid tags in the filament but the printers without AMS don’t even have the ability to read it.

Until they go back on that I don’t really mind them. I don’t want to use other slicers etc. I didn’t buy this printer as a tinkering project but to print stuff and at that it really is very good.

I mean I really wish they were more open but I didn’t buy this printer because I thought it was open. I bought it knowing it was not. I’ve had many printers over the years and I’ve always hated having to mod them to make them usable. I just want it to work out of the box and Bambu is the first one I’ve had that really delivered on that.

I’m not a fan and I’ll move to other brands when I can (my latest printer is a snapmaker) but I think they do still offer good value for money.

Oh yeah I never really liked Flickr. I used to do photos as a hobby but it was too serious for me and not social enough. I mainly follow photographers that have shot at cosplay parties I’ve been at. They’re all on Instagram somehow. And all the cosplayers too.

Of course the community blocked it. They didn’t even try to disguise their EEE attempt (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). Duh.

And this isn’t the first time. Back in the day Facebook messenger was actually fully XMPP federation compatible! But they pulled the plug on that.
