I would be surprised if a cartridge being discontinued would kill an open source project like this. They could switch to a different cartridge.

I’d assume they’re doing the one for now because it’s cheap-ish and has widespread availability. There’s little reason not to expand to other cartridges once the rest of the printer is more stable.

Physical media has the inherent benefit of being difficult to remove from the customer. Because of the several thousand years of precedent and “argument” has lead to the current protections many countries have.

Digital distribution of Digital goods has significant benefits to the customer and producer over physical distribution. A lot of physical game media at this point is basically a license key and a mostly working game that needs downloaded patches they were still developing while the discs were being printed. The downsides are the current legal mechanisms and that a lot of people involved in the producing would like to continue to eat and pay rent.

Don’t act like this guy.

I mean it’s not out yet. The raffle for who can buy one hasn’t started. This is just like scammers selling a PS6.

Slate Auto next year. Don’t get the telematics module.

Oh no… I thought I was exaggerating. 😅

I vaguely remember they might’ve done that later on? Maybe that was for the business version only. It was at least interesting that Microsoft was trying to directly compete with Apple for a while in having a whole ecosystem. I was waiting for more hardware because I liked metro on the phone, but then that all collapsed.

Really the worst part of 8 onward was the fragmenting of the settings, Vista you could at least fallback to the old stuff but they started removing old functionality. I get that they wanted to “update” from the control panel. But that it’s taken them 20 years, and they’re not done, and now neither the new system or the old system is feature complete, is fucking bonkers.

The FCC is currently trying to apply Fairness Doctrine to late night shows in retaliation for them having James Talarico on.

The site seems to autoredirect to idlewatt.foundagent.net? Which is something to do with HIPAA vendors.

Veritasium(?) has a video about jerry cans that boils down to “Surprise! The Germans over-engineered the crap out of these!” and how most modern ones aren’t as good because its significantly cheaper to make ones that just look similar.

Still better than the plastic ones usually but you kind of have to hunt for the older style at this point to get the best of the best.

Which is the point. It’s not good, it meets the spec.

Sometimes the spec means it’s overbuilt compared to a civilian version. A lot of the time someone not-the-government is willing to pay more for different features than the spec.

An AR trigger going to a 19 year old just out of basic does not need to be match quality. Most of them suck as marksmen. Most of them will rarely shoot a rifle after basic because their MOS doesn’t require it, and they don’t need a good (read: more expensive) trigger to qualify for basic competence.

Gain of salt because it’s the university’s press release but seems like a really cool machine learning project.

It’s isolated forest and mountains. There’s along history of self-described neo-nazis making compounds and trying to succeed from WA/OR/ID to be a white ethno-state.

Spokane is a purple dot in the wilderness but most of it’s police/representatives live in the county and vote deep red.

Fair enough. Really appreciate the work ya’ll have put into this, definitely going to have to mess around with it. Just brought it up because of the community this is in.

Are only VPS relay’s supported at the moment? Presumably so the feed is accessible over the web?

I get that the project seems to be going for replicating a ring/wyze/etc style experience but being able to self-host a relay somehow seems like a logical addition. Would probably have to disavow connecting outside of the home network and leave that the responsibility of the user.

The newer ender printers are definitely less drama than the older ones. Unless you go higher end with them where they have bed leveling and more sensors I’d recommend something more plug and play.

Big fan of Prusa.

The ISS has a lot of big solar panels. The other big panels they have are thermal radiators.

They have to have quite large thermal radiators because it’s very inefficient. The ISS has people and a very small amount of computing power.

Data centers generate several orders of magnitude more heat. You would need several orders of magnitude more thermal radiators than you would solar panels. The bigger you make the data center, which is important for density since you’re introducing a lot of lag due to the speed of light, the less room you have to put thermal radiators or solar panels.

Then you need to work out how to get spare servers, and/or server parts up and down from the Data Center. All of these things are consumables, and all of them have significantly more wear and tear outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.

It is possible. It is not efficient or sensible. It sounds cool, it doesn’t require buying land, and there aren’t currently international agreements about doing dumb stuff in space in the same way there are for doing dumb stuff in the ocean.

It’s a perennial thing with Jellyfin that it doesn’t have the app / remote access support Plex provides. By itself it’s a fully functional network media server, but by design it doesn’t have the ability to reverse tunnel and it doesn’t have the corporate infrastructure that gets it’s app onto devices.

Yes you can set up wireguard / VPN access. Yes there are workarounds that can get Jellyfin streaming to most devices.

None of that matters when trying to talk someone on the phone through connecting to your server through the internet.

Plex is an account, it looks like a streaming service, it requires zero knowledge. I’m fairly certain some of my relatives have no idea it’s streaming from a server in my basement. Jellyfin they have to trust you enough to setup separate other apps / configuration and have the patience / attention span / ability to follow directions to do so.

Registering is fine, a lot of people voluntarily register their expensive bikes with local police that have those programs anyway.

Insurance is weirder. Cars require as much insurance as they do because they weigh multiple tons and can kill people and destroy infrastructure. A powered bike can do a lot of damage, especially if it rams someone, but it has an order of magnitude less destructive potential than a car. Especially for a limited powered bike insurance “should” be significantly cheaper.

While you’re at it, don’t worry about Grandma Coco’s grandparents.

You remember which hand you Lost your thumb(s? Igor?) on.
