Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this “feature”.

Im picturing them sending “cash” with the amount written in comic sans.

I use mold for everything, but don’t really bat an eye at using mould for the tool that is used to make parts which I see pretty often through my work.

Seriously, my bank used to have a password requirement that was 6 characters exactly, no more or less. Plus symbols were completely banned. The reason, it was also your phone password, so in reality it was a 6 digit numeric password where they interpreted the T9 letters as numbers.

I unreasonably hate the word “moreover”. I see no reason why you wouldn’t use the words “also”, “additionally”, or even “furthermore” that sound way better when read.

No matter how I set it up it gives me suggestions to specific pages I don’t want instead of the base domain.

I went with a Boox device recently and like it. Since it is just android you can load up all sorts of apps. I use it for various things other than reading books, for example with the Paprika app in the kitchen as a recipe display.

Some months ago they completely fucked up their address bar suggestions to the point where I have tried again to move to another browser. I’d prefer them to fix that before updating their UI.

I guess space is technically out of the environment.

Hi-Rez and shutting down games, name me a more iconic pairing.

Yup, all the Bambu printers are pretty good. I’m quite happy with my P1S + AMS. Definitely a better choice for a beginner than the Enders and similarly cheap project printers that many people start out with.

You can always buy an AMS later if you don’t want to now, but the utility of it for me is more around having multiple filaments to choose from without having to load a new filament rather than multicolour printing which is very slow and wasteful.

I wouldn’t bother with a filament dryer. I live in a pretty humid climate and between work and home I’ve been 3D printing things for over a decade and have never felt the need to dry my filament. I’d only really consider it if I was starting to print Nylon or something similarly hygroscopic.

You can greatly reduce the attack surface by limiting device use to specific users or maybe even specific devices that are controlled.

Is this mitigated by blocking mass storage devices on all devices on the air gapped network? Seems like the minimum you would want to do on a network important enough to air gap.

I’ve been trying to use ddg and I just find it infuriating that it never finds what I need, especially if I’m looking for local information about something. Google seems to always prioritize those types of results when I need them (probably because it makes it easier to sell me something).

It depends on how powerful of a machine you need. My server only costs about $9.25/mo to run and it is way overpowered for the services I run on it.

As much as I think the cybertruck is a stupid vehicle and agree that teslas are built like shit, from what I understand this isn’t an atypical amount of recalls for a new vehicle platform.

Without even paying much attention the two I know of, the gas pedal and the finger slicer are unacceptable however.

Shit like this is why we need strong regulations for anything that is a medical device that is depended on by people. I don’t give a shit if it isn’t profitable anymore, these companies need to support their customers that may be significantly impacted if their devices don’t work.

Pretty much all my sleep/suspend issues with Linux went away when I switched to Manjaro from Fedora on my 11th gen Framework 13. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but the majority of the time I can open my laptop after a couple days and still have most of my battery.

Nah, 3D printing as a hobby actually involves printing things. What you are describing is 3D Printers being the hobby. That is fine too, but too many people can’t seem to make the distinction that they never actually make anything.

This is a topic that could be a novel for how much there is to consider, but in the end it comes down to resources and companies trying to choose what it best for the company overall. For a company to do anything, they are giving up many other things they could be doing instead. Whether it is limited budgets, limited personnel, or company priorities every decision made is always a tradeoff that means you aren’t doing something else.

Most companies prioritize releasing new product so they can start getting revenue from it as soon as possible. A new product has the largest potential market, and thus makes shareholders happy to see revenue coming in. The sales from a new product are the easiest ones in most product’s lifecycle. Additionally. releasing new products helps keep you ahead of competitors. So ongoing maintenance work is de-prioritized over working on new things.

The goal of testing is to simulate potential use cases of a product and ensure that it will work as expected when the customer has the product in their hands. It is impossible to fully test a product in a finite amount of time, so tests are created that expose flaws within a reasonable search space of the expected uses. If an issue is found then it needs to be evaluated about whether it is worth fixing and when. There are many factors that affect this, for example:

• How much would it cost to fix?
• How much time would it take to fix?
• Does it need to be fixed for launch or can it be a running change?
• How many customers are actually going to see the issue? Is it just a small annoyance for them or will it cause returns/RMAs?
• Is it within the expected use case of the product?
• Can we mitigate it in software/firmware instead of changing hardware?
• Is it a compliance/regulatory issue?
• Would this bring in new customers for the product?
• Was this done a specific way for a reason?

Unfortunately, after considering all this the result is often that it isn’t worth the effort to fix something, but it is considered.
