I did it and I'm very satisfied with the result. Though I went full diy and ordered parts individually. I did all of the printed parts from recycled PET from bottles which I recycled myself. The rest I ordered from aliexpress. I have a previous version, didn't get around to update. I made an adaptor for herome gen 6 hotend holder and made it with mostly stock e3d v6 hotend. I just added a cht nozzle. Don't need anything else. But the best mod IMO is the dual z axis which I recommend even without mercury conversion.
Edit: I did it on ender 5, have no clue what's the difference on other printers.
It's actually quite common and is in theory superior to side grain ones. Dulls the knife less this way. All the cutting and gluing does make it more expensive though. I've never used one, so I'll have to make one for myself and see if the hype is true.
Not sure which country you're from, but I've basically lost the any hope I can influence any policy in my country with ANY attitude. I hope I'm wrong about other countries.
Yes, not gonna happen. You know how many new devices get sold simply because old ones are no longer getting updates/software support? It's planned obsolescence. No modern country would pass a law like that.
From my small experience with Qualcomm in the past, I'm not too hopeful. In a company I used to work for, we wanted to use one of their SoC with Linux, which they claimed they supported. It was many years ago. But was full of closed binary blobs which even when signing NDAs, we couldn't get the source for. We're talking user-space drivers, sensors offloaded to a separate core with closed source firmware etc. It's Linux, but it's not Linux in spirit, it feels so closed and proprietary and secretive. They're coming from Android, which google architecturally enabled vendors to close their drivers by utilizing HAL. It's the single most significant blow to Linux by any corporation so far. It enabled thousands of vendors to close their shitty driver in user-space and not maintain it for newer kernels (kernel driver is just an IO proxy for user-space drivers). I get that without it, there wouldn't be Android phones we have today, but I expected them to slowly open up. 10+ years later, almost nothing changed, in fact - things seem worse to me.
How about just having a button on a fob/phone which initiates comms, like in the good old days. You can't relay the signal if there isn't one till you press the button. But that isn't sexy and it's too similar to traditional cars, so they won't do it.
Any PC that has virtualization features can be used. Unless it's very old, I'd say it's supported. But it may not be enabled in the bios by default. It's called VT-x for Intel and AMD-v for AMD, I think. But both are supported for at least 10 years on almost any PC.
It's a hypervisor level virtual machine host and you can use it to install multiple os's on the same machine with little overhead. I've been running haos like that for a few months now and I'm super satisfied.
Because you can't end to end encrypt if you don't have control over both ends. You'd need to trust the other end. Signal doesn't and their user base especially doesn't.
Yes, flaxseed oil for salads is great. It just takes forever to polymerize. We're talking weeks, maybe up to a month. But you can still use the cutlery, it will just wear off fast. You can speed it up by boiling it before use, but have to be careful to not burn it or have it go ablaze. I just use it raw and apply it from time to time, eventually it all just blends and I reapply once a year.
Well, it's not 2024 just yet. And besides that, I don't think it's possible to completely control everything that gets imported, but I reckon it's going to be a rather rare occurrence in the future.
It's often about the money, yes. But highly sought after engineers who can choose where they want to work probably have other criteria too, like not getting stuck in MS corporate ladder long term. That being said, money compensates for a lot of things, that's just the world we live in.
