But this isn't any better on Windows, is it? Even though it's far from volunteer-ware and probably has great UX people working on it, it still has issues with inconsistencies and bad UX. I think there are still at least 3 generati

But it was never Prusa's declared mission to get as many people into 3d printing as possible? So I don't see how this is relevant when comparing it to RPi's mission.

Found the German. On a serious note: compared to the other inconsistencies, this seems like a very minor one. If we wanted to standardize time, we should agree on ONE timezone across the world. But of course that seems almost impossible: Ha

Seems like you are right, when configuring an export the "file type" choice of your location history data is grayed out.

I sympathize with the notion to fix things in software instead of buying hardware (an SCSI adapter): You have to spend money, wait for it to arrive (or even leave the house to get it yourself!) and it's one more future plastic waste. I

The account in another comments makes it clear why it's done like that: To get a refund you not only have to talk to support (i.e. spending quite some time in some chat interface), then escalate the issue (talking to another support ag

But usually roads aren't even close to max capacity at night, when the shifting happens – which, I imagine, is much less stressful and time-critical than doing the whole resurfacing in a single night.

But why did you configure 3 machines with 64+ GB, if 8 GB RAM are "100% perfectly fine" for typical work tasks? For me personally 16 or 32 GB are perfectly fine, 8 GB was too little (even without VMs) and I've never needed 64

I never quite understand why people use ambiguous or uncommon abbreviations in comments. In this case I'm pretty sure they were talking about private jets (because it was spelled out in another comment), but I can't image most per

Laws like this don't appear out of thin air, those ideas come from member states and are voted on by politicians from all those member states. So without the EU stuff like this would have to be fought against in each individual state,
