I have maybe a few hundred prints on Bambu Labs printers, and I've had fewer than 20 failures, pretty much all from bad design choices on my part. They have been quick, reliable workhorses that just spit out the parts I need. I did hav

Ah, you have a quote right above that line stating it is the firmware that is non-free; hardware isn't mentioned. You might want to edit your original post so it is consistent with what you are trying to communicate.

Prusa's big problem is that they stopped innovating. They plateaud on their current tech, and just made tiny incremental improvements, years apart. There was plenty of things they could have been working on, new technologies, massive s

Honestly, as someone who's been in the 3d printing space for over a decade... Bambu Labs isn't a competitor to Prusa. There is no Prusa printer that is as fast, as reliable, produces the quality prints, as any printer from Bambu.

https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy Not open source? Odd, as I just read it's source code. Are you referring to licensing, ability to modify and compile yourself, or some else?

I think you're missing the point of that comment. Yes, you don't want to hire someone to a programming role if they have absolutely no skill or knowledge in the subject and "cannot we write a loop". But that will become

Fentanyl is administered daily by medical professionals in all sorts of situations. If "not understanding it's strength" is not what causes people to overdose on it, then why aren't millions of people dying from its ad

There is a bill in the works right now to keep mutual funds and similar from just scooping up every house they can for rent, I imagine there are very few actions that could make more of a difference.

Ah yes, because those are always easy to come by. Question: how do you know that this third party is both well-regarded and neutral? Answer: Read a detailed review from a well-regarded neutral party that conducts laboratory reviews. Just a

Are not the police conspiring to break the law then, at the very least? If I intimidated you into breaking the law, while armed, would I not also be culpable? The more I think about this, the more it seems the police should be the only on

Yeah, I have expectations... of the police. In most large cities, this is a guaranteed six figure income, with basically no education requirements. They are literally given an "above the law" status via qualified immunity. If they

It's redundancy. Yes, the doctor will check all this prior to prescription, but doctors can and will make mistakes. Having a secondary layer checking as well is going to save a whole lot of lives.

Well, we've spoiled our police force. We've provided them with ridiculous amounts of power, minimal oversight, and very rare and minor consequences. The behavior you describe is that of a spoiled child, used to getting what it wan

Or perhaps the issue is law enforcement criminally intimidating these pharmacists and clerks. Seems they are the only ones that aren't held to any standard.

I sure do. But at the same time, isn't this a near infrared camera, so outside the visible spectrum?

You're assuming an absolute. If none of the fish had moved to fresher water, I imagine there'd be a lot more fish washing ashore. If all of the fish had moved to fresher water, there would be no fish washing ashore. Also, abno

It probably depends on the weather station. The cycle time on those pressure sensors can be ridiculously high and still give decent results; you really only need one measurement per minute. But that should be just one firmware patch away fr

Doppler radar systems can detect airflow vectors in arbitrarily large areas, so I imagine that we have the tech for that portion, but I too am concerned about trying to take something with that large a mass and surface area and counteract t

And unfortunately, judges are the only legal entity empowered to use their intuition for legal decision making. Sentencing is a good example; judges can kinda just decide sentences based on feel. Just throw some number out there.

Same. I have noticed that the lighter the roast, the happier the beans are with less rest. That being said, the best coffee I've had was Ethiopian style, roasted dark and brewed right in front of me with no rest.

And that is supported by the known past actions of "some government authorities". This is definitely not the first time the US government has deliberately sabotaged crypto.

This is analogous to physical security doors. They are considered passive security, since they are a deterrent, and are rated by the numbers of hours they are expected to hold up against hand tools.

Honestly, the singularly wonderful thing about purchasing a home is that you can do whatever you want with it. The sky is the limit, you can make the yard into a garden, build a pizza oven into your wall, turn the basement into a gaming pad
