I think the main hesitancy is due to rampant anthropomorphism. These models cannot reason, they pattern match language tokens and generate emergent behaviour as a result. Certainly the emergent behaviour is exciting but we tend to jump to

They did use USB-C, on the battery itself. You literally can use the headset, and most do, with it plugged in. The exception is when you’re doing room scale, immersive VR, or when you’re walking around the house or office,but that’s

Book a demo at the Apple Store. It’s the kind of product that seems like an overpriced expensive toy until you actually experience it. People who follow the XR industry know that most aspects of the AVP were very carefully considered eng

Anybody I’ve ever demoed this product to has the opposite impression: it would replace their iPad and their TV easily if they could afford it and it was a bit lighter. I play Xbox and PS5 in it all the time ; it isn’t a rival to those pr

Siri on visionOS is actually quite refreshing for its speech to text, it is almost entirely on device and very low latency, with much more accuracy than you see on iOS. The combination of a keyboard, trackpad, Siri, hand and eye trackin

Their priority is not selling a mass market low margin product. That is Meta‘s strategy, and they’ve lost nearly $100b because they think it’s the future of all computing. The thing is, Apple agrees. But they’re not the kind of comp

You’re covering this board with statements of rumor, personal opinion and conjecture, as if they were statements of fact and getting the rumours wrong consistently. The Vision Pro leader, Mike Rockwell, runs both visionOS and Siri/

And yet I have people constantly telling me how they have four monitors set ups and still not enough screen real estate… and this is why they don’t like the Vision Pro, which can only give you one big ultra wide max.

It does a lot more than iPad apps. Coexisting 3-D volumetric apps with 2D app is quite innovative and not even an android XR will be able to do that in its first release. What’s software development tools do you think it’s missing?

They had about 450 K units in the wild in the first year. They will sell around 600 K units of the first version until the second one is released later this year. This was on a potential production target of 900 K units. So it’s not ex

It didn’t bomb in the market. It was priced for supply constraints. They basically tied Meta on all headset revenue in its first year (450k units and $1.4 billion). visionOS is a triumph and foundation for the next decade of computing,

This is one of the cooler features of Apple Vision Pro, it does such good beamforming for the wearer's mouth that someone could be screaming next to you or blasting music, and other parties on Zoom or FaceTime will not hear them.

Are they blocking the global tailscale IP addresses / host names for their DERP relays? Tailscale will tunnel over HTTPS if it can’t establish a UDP relay.

Tailscale isn’t really a VPN, it’s an OSI layer 5 for the TCP/IP world. It makes connectivity as easy as 90s LAN parties were. I use Tailscale - so I can do remote tech support on my 81 year old mother’s computer - So I can remote in

This is, to put it mildly, a minority opinion. I don't hate Teams as much as most people do but my old (big and small) companies had both Slack and Teams and about 40% of employees had Teams statuses of "ping me on Slack I refuse

It's the opposite in my experience, it's the best parts of IRC and the history is gold. Storing things in Slack is one of the most useful bits of it. I've seen several multi-billion dollar companies built most of their col

That's because the bank isn't generally using mutual TLS client authentication to verify your account details through your browser. You login with a password and other authentication factors . Interestingly some banks do use x5

Normal paper printers concentrate print services to a Windows or Linux print server that authenticates users before they submit a job. All the direct ports on the printer are firewalled and restricted to the print server. The main issue is

I didn't say "inherently" or "fundamentally" insecure in my post. I said "generally". Generally, it's hard to deploy MQTT in a secure way, as it has many options that are insecure. In particular

Controlling the software lifecycle of a client library or executable, to be able to update its x509 certs as part of an upgrade cycle, is ... not security through obscurity. It's pretty standard practice, especially if your customer b

OK, please continue deploying MQTT ports on the public internet. I'm sure it's super common and completely safe.

Moving to mTLS authentication is going to get Bambu on a ban list? That's incredibly hyperbolic. Though, if you're right, between the Huwaei ban, DJI ban and the TikTok ban, it's becoming clearer the U.S. no longer really be

Generally speaking, no. Prusa comes close - they're dedicated to community and OSS, and are quality parts... but are almost 2x the price and tend to be missing comparable features. The other competition doesn't quite have the UX

That... doesn't make things particularly secure. First of all MQTT doesn't require authentication. Secondly FTP is involved which is generally deprecated on most sensible servers and networks. Finally, sending passwords in th

Bambu Lab isn't being predatory. They're making a sensible change to their security. But, because people don't understand security technology tradeoffs, everything becomes a conspiracy.

Hmm, seems pretty clear that OrcaSlicer will eventually adapt to use Bambu Connect regardless, which will preserve active cloud connections.

by parasubvert 2y ago
You don't need to. You can use their Bambu Connect client in LAN mode. Or you can turn off security and use "developer mode", aka. "how things work today" mode, if you want to do things the old / insecure way.

I don't think their MQTT was over TLS traditionally (maybe they added this), it used to be that you just sent a message over unauthenticated MQTT and FTP'd your 3MF; the FTP had a password but that also was sent in the clear. ht

Um no? First, Bambu is the best, by far. Secondly, Orca Slicer is a fork of Bambu Studio and the vast majority of its users are Bambu customers that want extra features.
