The meme I keep seeing in regards to nVidia and the LLMs Ouroboros structure is: Company A pays Company B $100 to dig a hole. Company B pays Company A $100 to fill it back up. Both report $100 of “revenue”.

This is definitely a trap. It’s happening at the same time as the anti-porn crusade.
I’ve only seen one of them up close in person and it was pretty cool, I do admit. But I still don’t want one for myself. Something about the whole thing just feels weird and off. I’d be constantly feeling like it was going to split apart from plastic fatigue if I had one.

2·1 year agoI do resin printing (SLA) and warmer is always better (within reason). On cooler days I wrap the UV shield with a brewer’s belt (AKA a fermentation belt). Then I cover the whole thing with the cardboard box the printer came in. Works like a charm. The belt keeps it nice and warm without getting scary hot (75-80F or 24-27C). It pulls low wattage, less than most light bulbs.
For filament printing, something similar might work, but I have zero experience with FDM.
The 12 year old video below explains the root cause of economic misery. Technology is a tool that can be used for good or evil. But the ruling class wants ALL the money. So technology is often used for more efficient oppression.
Meanwhile, we working class folks are too busy working and/or distracted (often fighting with each other) to mount any real resistance.
Fortunately I work in a small shop and am a domain admin. Using a combo of Powershell and ShutUp10, I cut out as much of the stupid bloat and spyware as I can. The OS still sucks, but it’s much more tolerable with that crap turned off.
One of these days I’m going to get off my lazy butt and create a custom Windows 11 installation ISO with the nonsense pre-removed.
(And yes, I also use Linux, and prefer it.)
They make use it at my job. I hate it.
I totally get that.
Check out Textpad. You might like it. The only nuisance with it is the default config settings are a little oddball (things like keyboard shortcuts, etc). But it’s highly configurable so you can set it up the way you like and then it’s good. It has more features than Notepad, but it’s still pretty simple and can do cool things like search files / folders for strings, has regex support, etc. But the extras stay out of your way and it’s pretty clean and simple for “notepad-like” usage.
I checked my “content library” and I still have the option to download. Which is good, as I back everything up in Calibre. Maybe there are some regional factors here, or it may depend on which Kindle device(s) you own?
Thank you for the update! I would like to keep using it. I’ve been very happy with Bitwarden both as a password manager and a TOTP authenticator. I have even recommended it to my boss as an enterprise solution for us to use at work, and so far we are planning on replacing our current password database solution with Bitwarden.
Unfortunately, with “enshittification” being so common these days, it was very easy to believe they were also going to the dark side. I will remain cautiously optimistic after learning it was a packaging bug.
Here’s a link to the post on X (yes, I hate X, too) in case anyone else is doubtful:
Yup, thanks. Was thinking along these same lines.
Goddammit. It’s getting to the point I’m going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
I won’t claim it’s the equivalent of the Bambu Labs FDM printer, because I’ve never done FDM printing.
On top of that, I’m only familiar with the one resin printer I’ve used.
Anyway, it’s an Anycubic Photon Mono X 4k. I’ve had really good luck with it, and I’ve printed over 200 miniatures and other things. I’ve had some failed prints but they were almost always my fault for doing something dumb, and there haven’t been that many overall. I’m guessing easily less than 5%.
I wouldn’t recommend the exact same model as mine, because they have newer ones (like an 8k version of mine and some others).
But I would definitely recommend the Anycubic Photon line as worth looking into. Read some reviews & watch some videos.
Good luck!
At reddit, line must go up. So user experience must go down.
And all things Meta.
These might become a thing in the US when some vapid influencer acts smug toward ‘dirty people’ who can’t afford one.
