Microcontrollers (ESP32, RP2045), CAD modelling and 3D printing are my current creative outlet. They work together which feels nice though the more you know, the more complicated the project gets. I'm slowly pushing towards electrical

Taxes on what? Corps are famously good at burying profits under expenditure and mergers. And what are you retraining to? We've long abandoned serious manufacturing and mining. Most people's job is the application of knowledge and

What sort of political solution is there? What intervention could roll this back?

> Most of these are misdemeanors. That's a very poor read. Most of these look like breaches of previous conviction release terms. Failure to appear isn't a non-issue. It's a bail skip to dodge a conviction. I'll agree

We need: "Investigatory blogging got worse on purpose: using LLMs to confirm popular biases for attention". I'm not saying this site doesn't speak some truths, but previous on this topic have been so thin, and ignore bat

Proprietary plugins in [A]GPL software are always contentious. It's the old linking argument and it's especially strong here, given how useless Bambu Studio is without the networking plugin.

This is a distraction though. There's no reason I couldn't access through the cloud on my phone and from Orca locally without any cloud. The spool management is on the physical printer. I don't need Orca to use their cloud; i

> This isn't actually possible This is only true due to a firmware they pushed last year. It's an artificial limit. There's no reason at all a local client couldn't just talk to a local printer without any cloud. Ever

Excuse me. That's all it means. Excuse my impertinence, presence, gaul, mere existence; I need your attention. Many languages have this overloaded phrase and use it just as a Brit would "sorry". It's formal deference

£150 plus taxes. By the time you add a PSU, a case, and a good controller, it's pretty close.

In raw grunt, it's equivalent to a PC with a ~3060Ti/6700XT. You can get a refurb PS5 for £250. Good luck building the equivalent PC for that.

Is that really true? If so, is there a saner way to handle this than upgrade all the things to 10GBE ? Like a POE ethernet condom that interfaces with both network and devices at native max speeds without the core network having to degrade

And that's what makes it actionable defamation. If your doctor signs off on an AI summary that accuses you of being an drug dependant sex worker, that's serious malpractice.

Sounds cushy, but not everywhere can afford 2:1 healthcare for every primary contact. It's not a thing here until you get to a ward or hospital-based clinic and you're seeing a team. I don't like off-site data vacuums. Palant

This feels like a compelling reason to joke around more. If inaccuracies make it to your patient record, it's defamatory. Your doctor must sign off on the transcript and if they're letting through poor results, make it their pro

Notes need writing though. You can do that by recording and transcribing (many methods) or your doctor has to write on the fly, or worse, has their head in their computer while you talk in their general direction. Letting doctors talk and e

If there is, couldn't they exist in any model? I don't mean that flippantly. These things are dumped in the wild, used on common (largely) open source execution chains. If you find a software exploit, it's going to affect you

Many memberships (like phone and internet service contracts) aren't rolling contracts, they're annual or biennial to lock you in. Of course you can cancel at the term of the contract, but many start strong, let it peter off, and b

Because there's money in letting people make mistakes on their own dime. For every story about a mistake in the tens of thousands, I wonder how many there are in the single-thousands, hundreds and even tens where people just suck it up

... And most streams are fraudulent. I'm not sure I'd care if AI generated music was competing against my own organic music, but having the stream-reward diluted down by bots is actually hurting artists.

Yes, but it's theirs to monetize . What post-scarcity utopia do you think you're living in? The commercial reality is them finding the way to get the most from the market. This isn't a bizarre twist of software licensing, ev

I can understand not wanting to pay Adobe every month, but the commercial reality would require a month-long contract would have to be extraordinarily expensive, to offset the people who do only need it occasionally who'd otherwise be

I struggle to think of it as insidious. The problem you have is you're reading it wrong. There is no monthly licence. It's an annual licence that you can either pay up front or split, either way, you need to pay. In 1995 it cost

Ingenious? It's a system that endorses hyper-capitalism through sub-9m² kyosho jutaku. That isn't ingenious, it's battery farming.

Thread counts and Denier are poor metrics for items that employ technical fabrics, seam glues and other modern improvements that legitimately lower these sorts of simple measurements. People don't want to buy the same heavyweight waxed

I signed up for one of their early Kickstarter campaigns and they have abused the "project news" system to send me updates for every subsequent project. It's unsolicited marketing. Spam. If this is their global approach to co
