The one thing enders are good for is teaching you how to troubleshoot printer issues. My only printer right now is the ender 3 v2. Next one I get is likely going to be a voron derivative so I don’t have to source parts/build it from scratch.

I don’t use Bambu printers, but don’t they use a modified version of gcode and still refuse to let anyone see the documentation?

I really wish some large government would order that all hardware manufacturers publicly released any source code used to make the hardware run. I think there are some real arguments you could make for the benefit of the economy if that happened. A hardware manufacturer can still lean on selling the physical parts even if the software can be copied, and the software can be tailored to their hardware making it harder for it to apply to their competitors. I’d actually like to hear others’ opinions on that too.

I get the feeling it’s going to be constantly running around in circles. The corporations are constantly looking for ways to enshittify things to improve profits, but too much and people don’t want to deal with it. They’re constantly looking for that balance in a landscape that’s constantly changing, and so constantly experimenting with what they can get away with.

Oh he is

I would simply prefer my car didn’t have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it’d have my attention so fast.

Know what? If it makes someone else happy then go for it. Hand me to some necrophiliacs while you’re at it, I will literally not care.

I wish I could go that long without eating.

I’ve done this before on smaller parts and it works. The result is very ugly-looking in my case though.

No

It’s convenience. That’s really it. And I don’t like to admit it, but that level of inconvenience is too high for me to try using it that way.

I can’t believe how fucked this is. Social media isn’t always the healthiest thing, but banning it? I was hardly allowed to leave my house as a kid, i have no idea what i would’ve done if i couldn’t talk to my peers online.
