Just sounds like they're saying the "slippery slope" is false, but everything else stated was true.
3d party accessories are being disabled, and you can only use network connectivity if you connect to the cloud. They'll have a solution for using Orca Slicer, but it still needs to phone home to work.
Glad I stayed away from Bambu and went with a printer that doesn't need anything outside my network to use all the features I paid for.
Have you spoken to the business? Maybe they can offer a solution that you're not aware of.
Maybe you can get a group text going with other patrons who will text the group about it? Maybe you can set up an RSS feed from their instagram account?
I don't HAVE to play the game. If they don't price it in a way that I'll buy it, then I just won't buy it.
I've never bought a lot of games, heck I don't buy MOST games. I buy games that I'm interested in, when they're priced in a way that seems reasonable to me. There's plenty of companies (and individuals) out there who are selling me what I want, for the price I would pay for them.
I'm kinda surprised there haven't been hands on reviews yet. I'm also kinda glad cause it means they aren't sending out special review units to everyone just to get good stories out.
I'll put it on my steam wishlist and buy it when it's $20 or less.
I'm still waiting for Elden Ring and BG3, there's plenty of games to be played, I don't need to get it day one.
I also get the advantage of not buying a buggy game that's half finished. It'll be cheaper and better if I wait, often with a bunch of the extra paid DLC included.
He posted pretty publicly after Jan 6th about how he grew up in the aftermath of Nazism.
People can be complex, and as a conservative, he's certainly not on the correct side of every issue, but he's not afraid to speak against the rise of fascist ideology.
If you want a printer to "just work", have an upgrade path to the next version when they come out, and don't require a cloud account, then Prusa is a good choice.
If you want open source, open schematics, and open everything, then Voron based printers are a good choice.
There's also tons of printers out there, just don't support these shady lock-in manufacturers. Let's not let 3d printing become what inkjet printing did.
It's 100% optional. I use prusalink, which is a web server local to the printer, and it also connects to home assistant to get me phone notifications when prints are done.
I get that it's not for everyone, but I use home assistant and prusalink to do everything the cloud prusa connect does.
It doesn't leave my network, it's connected to physical Ethernet instead of WiFi, and I have zero outside connectivity requirements.
The only drawback is that I have one extra step instead of sending directly within prusa slicer.
Honestly, it's been a better overall experience than using the cloud service, cause it doesn't need to send any data over the Internet, just to download it back down to the printer.
Every 12 hours, the richest person in the world turns inside out. Just one, every 12 hours. The only way to stop it is if capitalism ends and people no longer hoard wealth.
Home made guns are legal (for the most part) as long as you are making them for yourself.
Until very recently, making a decent gun took a lot of skill, and was pretty dangerous if something wasn't done correctly.
Part of the issue with gun laws is that gun parts, by themselves, are fairly unregulated. You can buy a gun barrel off the Internet with zero paperwork. You can buy optics, grips, springs, pins, etc without any regulations.
So you can print a gun frame, then buy everything else online, and it's all perfectly legal... In most states... If you don't resell, or do anything illegal with it.
The main catch is, if you can legally buy a gun, you can legally make that same gun.
If that gun would be illegal to buy, it's also illegal to make (full auto, suppressed, high capacity, etc.) but the biggest problem is, with the rise of CNC machines, and high quality 3d printing, how would anyone know?
The content creators should be shouting about RSS from the rooftops. The only people that lose out are social networks, and startups. It would be more difficult for a new person to get a foothold, but at least we decide what we want to read on our own.
The ISS rotates around the earth every 90 minutes, so before Don Pettit brought a custom built astrophotography rig up there this picture would have been impossible to take.
It's weird that Eric Burger neglected to put this picture into perspective for people who aren't 100% up to date on their space news.
Sure, but that just pushes back the timeline some. Even with immortality, invulnerability, and teleportation, you're still going to live forever floating in the void of space. There just isn't going to be anywhere to teleport TO after a few trillion years.
It's like anything else. There are super high quality mass produced printers for like $200, so if you want to make some prints for the lowest cost possible, that's the way to go.
If you want a hobby about learning and tweaking the printer itself, then yup, the open source printers are really good and fun to work with.
If you want to make super strong, high quality prints for prototyping, or industrial applications, then you're probably going to need to get a serious, real manufactured printer.
The nice thing about 3d printing, is that there's options for anyone's interest level.
