Or Disney releasing a movie called "Frozen" so that web searches for "Disney Frozen" stopped returning macabre rumors about Walt Disney's possible posthumous cryogenic preservation.

This is my read of the situation too. Amazon wants to control "agentic commerce" use cases so they can monetize them. A generic agent using amazon.com undermines that effort, so they're trying to use the courts to prevent it.

This is an is-ought inference. Americans have not been given an option and use the units they're provided with, which is a frustrating mix of everything depending on context. Nobody seems to like it this way.

In the contexts where you need to prove an image is a real unaltered photograph (court cases, news media, science, etc) privacy is usually not a concern. Nobody cares if your social media photos are edited, they probably are, it's fi

If freedom is being shackled to an expensive appliance by a yearslong loan and autonomy is being trapped at home if it breaks or you lose the ability to operate it... I'll pass on both. Using my phone to make a car show up when I need

I'm happy to make the claim this is terrible policy that literally kills people. Every dollar spent on this should go toward transit funding instead.

Google Photos is a great value proposition, but it's still only 1 copy in 1 medium. If you count your phone as another copy/medium you still need a 3rd copy somewhere if you want to follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy. > not acces

I made the switch from photoprism to immich a couple years ago and the app is far better. Sad to hear it hasn't improved in the mean time.

The cardboard isn't the problem, the plastic is. Looking at energy use of packaging alone is myopic as other comments in this thread have already pointed out. I can go to a bulk store like re_grocery with my own reusable airtight conta

Your monitor refreshes a bit faster than my motorcycle. '09 Yamaha FZ6 14k redline, 240hz would be about 14,400 rpm.

Just let me buy things without forcing me to buy so much trash too. Every grocery store item is over-packaged.

It takes a rare multi-talented person to do this though. First you have to attain mastery of the craft itself, then you have to master (or at least be competent in) the art of communicating it to others. Some mechanics are just good mechani

That's missing the point. There were official native MacOS builds and now there aren't. Can't be too mad about it though, it was free back then too.

Do you never have agents working on multiple tasks in parallel? You'll become much more productive when you figure out how to stop micromanaging.

I have never had any interest in using Bambu's cloud. It works in LAN mode with none of this rigamarole. If you want to feed all your print activity to Bambu's servers anyway, why bother using an open source plugin in the first pl

It's the networking plugin that talks to the printer over the network (while exporting gobs of telemetry to Bambu's servers). Without the networking plugin you cannot monitor your printer or send prints to it remotely. You can cop

Probably this one: https://github.com/greghesp/ha-bambulab It's excellent for monitoring and setting up automations around printer events, I use it all the time too.

I only sent one test print through Bambu so I can't make a comparison, but it's <10s from clicking print to the printer starting its warmup dance. Speed is not why I set my printer up this way though. I live in a state that may

For current owners who want to avoid Bambu's servers entirely, consider LAN mode with OrcaSlicer and this open source reverse engineered networking plugin: https://github.com/ClusterM/open-bamboo-networking I have
