No surprises really. Bambu was clearly a commercial/proprietary enterprise. A lot of their employees come from DJI, which is equally locked down. The only reason they released their slicer software is because of the GPL (hey, it works!

There are pretty good cheap soldering irons these days too. My $35 Pinecil is pretty fun to use.

Cycling is comically infamous for this. The technology exists to make much faster bikes: lighter, more aerodynamic, and less mechanical loss. However, the UCI sets a minimum for bike weight, mandates frame shapes, and other equipment. There

If war starts because the US and Taiwan made some agreement, that would be China starting a war. They look quite trigger happy, in fact. Launching missiles in a tantrum and damaging foreign aircraft through stupid antics. You're also d

Historically, Intel and AMD had an exclusive IP sharing agreement with each other. That would not extend to other parties.

While looking for the successor to Raspberry Pi's, my interest revolves around how open source the drivers are and whether they're upstreamed or not. I have no interesting in a board, no matter how cheap, that will be stuck on som

People get excited because "it's open source". Except it's really not as only the instruction set is "open source" and even that doesn't really mean much as interfaces have dubious copyright protection. St

A "couch co-op" section would be great for kids and adults (the existing "co-op" section has Eldin Ring as #1...) in a docked or traditional console setting. My kids love Overcooked, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, etc.

In what country? In the US, this would be an incredible Constitutional violation.

I'm not sure why this point isn't rammed home at every opportunity. Reciprocity is a cornerstone of many trade agreements and tariffs/protectionism are a common answer to foreign government favoritism of domestic companies (e

Somewhere out there is a good copy-pasta dismissal of these boring reflexive "But look! A Western country did something similar that one time so that makes it okay for us to do!" responses.

But where do your dependencies come from? Your compiler? Are you building everything from source after libc?

Early cars were immediately killing innocent people in the streets and there was totally justified outrage. We've just become numb to the idea that it's okay to be cut down in the street because cars are just too gosh darn conveni

What's the base image for the containers? Do none of your Dockerfiles have apk or apt commands?

I have no earthly idea what you are talking about. For decades, Linux package managers have been the killer app for Linux. They made installing and updating every single one of your applications trivial. You didn't google for sketchy d

> In China all knowledge is in fact a big open source scheme. This is not strictly true. Witness anyone trying to get a Chinese company to produce GPL source code or contribute back. Open source is something to be taken for free and we d

My recollection is that Burton didn't understand the purpose of the tests nor the system he was raging against. If the Bradley was totally annihilated in the test, there'd be nothing to analyze and nothing would be learned (other

Fun fact, the Apollo computer used the metric system internally and patronizingly displayed freedom units because the astronauts supposedly couldn't handle it.

I'm a big fan of Weather Underground's 10 day forecast graph. Like Dark Sky, you can see the temperature ebb and flow, plus wind speeds, cloud cover, rain percentages (and amounts). One chart tells me every aspect of the weather t

I'm a bigger fan of Dell desktop that companies have put out to pasture after a refresh cycle. They're very expandable, have plenty of horsepower, and the idle power draw isn't that bad. The better thermal characteristics com

For an article titled "You've installed fzf. Now what?", I would've expected step 1 to be "how to add the shell hook for your particular shell". Especially since people here are referencing extra integrations t

apt install? There's no way I'm integrating a core tool like that with a crude "curl | zsh" hack. How and when would it get updated? Am I expected to stick that in an Ansible playbook?

If the alternatives had broader appeal, they would be more popular. However at this juncture, they don't. Ads mean free stuff. Ad blockers mean better free stuff. Academic arguments about externalities will be brushed away because &quo

It's skilled attackers in proximity with radio gear and a laptop, right? This sucks for a lot of people but I don't think I'm on the list of targets such actors would care about.

I hope it goes the other way. My recollection is that the Exynos phones were able to be bootloader unlocked and flashed with other ROMs while the Qualcomm ones were locked down forever. I've stayed away from Samsung phones for that rea

Your brain definitely gets trained on one system and moving off hurts. Hell, I've had my work Macbook for 5 years and I still curse the keyboard shortcuts that are all wrong (and the even more shortcuts that it's missing).
