Google has been optimized for sentence like questions so much that for a good 6+ years now it has been completely useless as keyword search. To clarify: sentence search got slightly better at the cost of keyword search. So the result is unu

"to tweak" is probably quite far away even if "get a semi-decent CAD drawing" was remotely reliable which it isn't.

Are you implying that we shouldn't be annoyed at Flock and forced GPS tracking in cars because my ignorant neighbours have a cloud connected doorbell? Because I am instead annoyed at all three. Not necessarily my neighbours, but the co

I've successfully used it in my 2006 Ford Fiesta for about 10 years now... The reliability is way better than GitHub's uptime. Better even than my car's uptime. You must work in telco. 99.9999% or it's unusable :P

Vorons are not consumer printers. They are enthusiast DIY projects. That aside, sure, maybe Bambu were the first to make an affordable core XY machine. But, outside of China, we still don't have an affordable core XY machine by this de

Again, the predecessors also looked like bambu printers, I don't know what to tell you. There are not that many ways to design an enclosed core XY machine.

Why should people be forced to distance themselves from their public service work in order to be safe from abuse? Another aspect is that releasing something under copyleft without putting an identity behind it is toothless. Someone can copy

No idea about the filament swirchers, but calling core XY designs bambu clones is really funny. The core XY design that all manufacturers are now centering around has been around long before Bambu existed as a company.

They really are not deterrents. Even if the unscrupulous entities cared about the license, they would just get their (already paid for) CAD person to reverse engineer every single necessary model over the course of a week. If an amateur lik

Nothing in Prusa's OCL stops anyone from cloning and selling their printer. It only stops the honest people from doing that (and possibly much more, like manufacturing and selling replacement parts or mods). Creating 3D models from exi

It should be possible with zero knowledge proofs. The problem is that while you might be able to trust the crypto, the government won't trust you to do the crypto entirely by yourself. And this introduces avenues for deanonymisation. M

You don't need to be meticulous if you want your software to look like a 5 year old drew it, which maybe you don't care about. But even so, hand placing 20 labels, editing them to say the right thing, then hand placing the entries

I mean, regardless of how you set this up, at some point you're going to want to namespace things. The core problem here is that chrooting creates an imperfect namespace boundary (it's not really even intended as that). Maybe we&#

You're better off for having done the measurements. Broadly, it is just good training since you're normally _not_ going to have CAD drawings. If you do this enough, it becomes second nature, and with a 3D printer it's fast to

They're not API gotchas in most cases. And writing comprehensive tests for this behaviour is very difficult regardless of which language you are using. I am all for rust rewrites of things. But in this case, these are mistakes which we

The best way I have found to make something low/no maintenance is to keep it as simple as humanly possible. And I don't think you can get there via this route. But good luck anyway, I would love to be proven wrong.
