It's giving me serious pause when looking at things like the new Bambu printer
I really like my x1c, but I haven't upgraded it's firmware yet, and probably never will, because the local features are just too good. I know I can replace a lot of the bambu cloud features with octoanywhere, but I shouldn't have to
As long as the RPi foundation keeps messing around with their supplies, reserving the lions share for "corporate" customers, I'll stick to espressif devices. I can get a bag of them for the cost of one of these
Already been doing this, but I think this will finally light the fire under my ass to move to a boox device for all my reading
I've got the big boox, which I use for sheet music, and quite like it, so the smaller ones are no brainers
They've been censorious for over a decade. It's just the old target was "acceptable" to most denizens of reddit and similar social media. Now that the censors are expanding their reach, we see umbrage? Come on now. This was inevitable
Very large part of why I moved away to kagi. It just works.
Additionally, it's system of weighting, instead of just a binary block, is very useful. Take fandom wikis for example. They're awful, yes, but sometimes they're the only result for a topic, and will do if needed. With a binary block list, you either see them or you don't. With the weighted system, you can downrank them, so if better results show up, they appear higher in the listing than the downranked ones
I wish more people would hold Sam Altman's feet to the fire, hold him to some semblance of accountability. Because the man has made an entire career of failing upwards, from launching a short lived startup that imploded, to suddenly becoming president of ycombinator, to suddenly being worth billions of dollars, and literally paying people in the third world (with monopoly money, of course) for their eyeballs
Oh and there's the whole thing where he might have molested his kid sister, which is always seemingly glossed over
Even Ed Zitron, who isn't afraid to go after someone (see his articles about the guy who destroyed Google search) seems to handle Sam with kid gloves
And even the closed source nature is only partially so. The x1c already has x1+ firmware, and they just made their own custom expansion board to go with the custom firmware.
