Am I the only getting metal gear survive vibes from this? Maybe it’ll be fun but it really just feels like a low effort cash grab right now.

Do you have anything to back that claim up with? Everything I’ve read points to other sources.

It isn’t trash if OP has a use for it. There are valid criticisms for 3d printing, but microplastics in your brain probably isn’t one. That’s coming from other sources.

The majority of those microplastics come from synthetic fabrics, car tires, and paint. Things that notably degrade over time into little particles. These sunglasses probably aren’t going to see that kind of wear and tear.

I’m a little hopeful that Sony is going to get better at PC support. The Japanese PC gaming market has doubled in size a few times in the last 10 years but companies at Sony’s scale can be slow to adapt. Maybe it’ll take them another 10 years but I think eventually they’ll give up on exclusives.

Apparently Ondsel recently announced they’re shutting down, partially due to this release. A lot of what Ondsel added to the FreeCAD experience is just merged into FreeCAD now. Sad to see it but at least all their work wasn’t for nothing.

Its loud and often kicks up tons of dust that can be an irritant until it eventually lands on everything nearby.

Pretty sure they’re saying Apple works for the feds. They might also be having a stroke. Idk.

True but trust is hard to establish in decentralized platforms like the fediverse. As far as I’m aware the only decentralized banking is unfortunately cryptocurrency.

Isn’t that what NFTs do?

Mid journey and the like have already been caught creating shutterstock watermarks in images. Future models might be able to fake specific watermarks well.

I slightly hate myself for suggesting it, but are you essentially describing NFTs?

I work with software and my coworkers will occasionally tell me they ran something by ChatGPT instead of just reading the documentation. Every time it’s a bullshit waste of everyone’s time.

When you use a vpn, any traffic that would go between you and a website goes through the vpn first. Makes it hard for sites to know who you are and makes it hard for your isp to know what sites you visit.

When you use tor, any traffic that would go between you and a website is bounced around between a few different computers first. Similar to a vpn but is near impossible to track unless you’re a big gov agency with lots of resources.

You sure? https://www.forbes.com/sites/barrycollins/2020/04/24/why-you-shouldnt-charge-your-macbook-pro-from-the-left-hand-side/amp/

Didn’t they also crash or overheat sometimes when charged from the left side? Apple hardware really is unrivaled.

I’m absolutely biased as a data engineer who loves SQL, but there are some good reasons why SQL has been the de facto standard for interacting with databases since the 80s.

One of its draws is that it’s easy to understand. I can show a stakeholder that I’m selecting “sum(sale_amount) from transactions where date=yesterday” and they understand it. Many analysts are even able to write complicated queries when they don’t know anything else about programming.

Since it’s declarative, you rarely have to think about all the underlying fuckery that lets you query something like terabytes of data in redshift in minutes.

Debugging is often pretty nice too. I can take some query that didn’t do what it was supposed to and run it over and over in a console until the output is right.

You don’t want to pull cold air in but a small fan to circulate the air in the enclosure gives you more even temps from top to bottom and can improve print quality. I installed a nevermore filter a while back to filter the filament fumes and was surprised to see my prints improve too.

Glad you figured out something that worked for you. Don’t be such a dick next time and you’ll find everyone will be more helpful.
