All we've really got to go by is Twitter and Reddit, and I rarely see a photo of a Bambu printer without an AMS on top of it or to the side. With it being cheaper to buy an A1 Mini, A1, or P1 WITH an AMS than a base model Prusa MK4 it&

Not at all, you're paying for a bunch of other differences on the X1, none of which the core one has, hence why its more comparable to the p1s but priced as if its comparable to the x1c. The spec sheets don't lie, it's a p1s

They're in the extreme minority. Most software dev roles in the UK top out between £40 and £50k, £60k if you're lucky.

Hey now you could also go and work for Airbus...but it does mean having to go to Stevenage, as well as getting terrible pay.

I didn't suggest otherwise, nor was that even part of my point.

I wouldn't buy any new Prusa printer until it's been in the wild at least a year, they tend to be very buggy at launch. They also have no multimaterial support at launch, the MMU3 will not work with the Core One until they release

The MMU isn't remotely comparable to the AMS though, it's finnicky, regularly breaks and needs a heck of a lot of tinkering for most people to get right. One slightly different filament and you have to start over. Not to mention i

You pay more and lose reliable multicolour printing this way though - the MMU is NOT a solution.

Thing is even with the core one finally releasing...its not a compelling product. It costs more than the P1S - which lets fact it, thats what it should be compared to, not the X1C as the Core one doesn't have the stronger nozzle, nor a

I don't think anyone expects PLA to be used for anything that requires structural stability. There's far better filaments for that application. Some of the carbon fiber infused PETG filaments for example are incredibly strong. Not

initially maybe but the way the printers are built makes for cheap mass production. Theres no special sauce in the hardware, it's all low cost off the shelf stuff, it's just optimised very well.

The problem is even with Prusas recent efforts to catch up with the Core One, it's expensive, and they still dont have a viable answer to the AMS. The MMU is still a hot mess, requires tinkering, isn't stable and overall just does

Just to add, they also got fined by the EU for doing so, so it was ruled to be illegal. Bambu's changes would fall into the same category of altering the product and degrading the experience after its been sold.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing. There's extremely little genuine value left in social media platforms to the average user these days. Most are completely focused on getting you to want to doom scroll, not actually conne

I know someone else already mentioned about user != email address. But in the situation you mentioned I tend to use cloudflare and have that do a catchall on the domain for side projects and forward it over to my main account. I have a gene

It's an incredibly difficult thing and for many, myself included I'd love to be able to work for myself, and actively try to do so. But the limited time between work and family make it incredibly hard. There's also the part o

I imagine once Amazon Kuiper gets up and running things will improve. People forget SpaceX has the massive advantage of having multiple starlink connections on their flights, so internet access direct to the ship has become incredibly easy

Fair point, but what's the solution? In my eyes it can't be force everyone back to the office, or force everyone to be remote, that feels like an incredibly lazy and devisive solution.

Free, nothing worth writing home about. Technically you can do this for free with an Apple account but its a total mess of a system and incredibly buggy, not to mention essentially no spam filtering. Paid you've got ProtonMail and Fast

If I recall Coqui is very much a dead project, just one to be aware of.

Thats where things fall apart though. Your opinion will be formed on the fact you get more done in the office. I get less done in the office. I'm orders of magnitude more productive at home. So my opinion is formed on that basis. There

He doesn't actually do any development himself at all. IIRC his last commit was something like 15 years ago.

Yup, about par for the course with Twitter these days sadly.

Not the case on Twitter. It becomes instantly available to anyone who wants it.

Counter point - why is it an issue to wipe the account of its content and update the bio to simply say the owner is no longer on social media and any other accounts you come across are not them. Removing your account completely from Twitter

I assume it just won’t roll out to those locations. The EU would take Google to the cleaners (again) if they knowingly ignored EU law.

Threads like this are just rage bait. - Anyone claiming one OS is the "best" is often either incredibly misinformed, or intentionally trolling. - Use whatever OS does the job you need it to do, nobody cares. They're all great

Fun anecdote, firefox on iOS is still broken years after its launch. If you play a video in horizontal mode, then go back to horizontal mode the bottom bar vanishes and never comes back, meaning to actually manage tabs you have to keep your

Does very much depend on your location. In the UK a dehumidifier is still often a good idea in the winter because although our humidity drops, its nowhere near enough. Inside can still be high 50's, in older properties it'll never
