Like I need a hole in my head.

Browser too, and the whole activeX, and DirectX api system to practically force windows only development.

I used mine almost exclusively for repairing things that are either impossible to get (parts for an old blender, or window blinds that are otherwise in fine condition.

I also use it to print templates for fabrication, which saves the production of steel since I’m often able to make something once instead of throwing away much more energy intensive prototypes in the design process.

That said, my printer lives in a shop workspace, and has an enclosure, though not a filtered one (yet).

I’m not sure how much sooner it degrades, but the study still suggests that it causes cellular damage before it’s able to degrade.

State Park campgrounds (at least in states that actually fund those things) can be nice places to stay for a few days. Especially if you have a kid who enjoys playing with new friends whenever they get the chance.

Plus it’s nice to be able to get a warm shower in after a few days out in nowhere.

It varies from place to place. Up in Maine they let us sleep overnight after the eclipse. The funniest part was that they had no idea why we’d want to be up there in April in the first place.

I’m gonna try this with my son, he knows with way clocks go better than his left and right.

Yup 5-6 floppies and if one failed you could try to go back and copy one, but usually had to start over.

I got the Mac copy of Photoshop 4 from my high school this way with .sit files. It was like second to last floppy that failed (probably an ok AOL disk) and I had to go back the next day and copy it again. But it worked!

Not long after that a friend of mine got a ZIP drive, but it wasn’t SCSI, so it didn’t work with my computer. I didn’t get one until college (essential for a graphic designer in the late 90s).

If you can find a playlist of videos you can download whole lists with ytdlp.

We have Lemmy communities already…

Do any of the bots that repost subreddits in Lemmy reverse and post Lemmy communities to reddit?

I’m sure Reddit would ban it if it noticed, but might be a way to attract users here for niche communities.

I think Bambu would had to have never allowed sales or use of a printer in east Texas (a huge state).

I’m now curious if EULAs or geofencing products to make using them in that district a violation of the license. As terrible as it would be, it could be useful in protecting businesses from patent trolls. Maybe even teach east Texas to stop giving the trolls a stage.

The companies that want to sue all have shell offices and PO boxes in east Texas.

It’s probably one of the main industries in some of the smaller towns. Tyler Texas I think maybe? It’s been a while since I first read about it.

Looks like stamped or laser cut pieces that then need bending in the 3rd dimension.

Then soldering a coaxial connector or wire to each half to finish them.

I think KEKA.app supports split archives. Haven’t used it in a while though.

That is still unparalleled with CUDA.

I still don’t understand how an open source alternative with better hardware support hasn’t happened yet.

A whole bunch of the companies that boomed died though.

Anyone remember bigwords.com? Or pets.com?

Its marketplace has been really popular in my area. Craigslist has all but dried up for may item types.

But they own Instagram as well don’t forget, and they have bought out many other competitors that we won’t ever get to experience.

Yeah, lack of competition is driving a lot of this. Fixing bugs doesn’t increase their stock value. It doesn’t make the line go up.

Launching products and bragging about profits makes the line go up (especially just before a quarter or monthly report is due).

AT&T/Bell Telephone was like this for years until they were finally broken up (nominally). When cellphones came out and provided nationwide competition, long distance suddenly became free.

We need to bust up google, Facebook, etc. They have nothing to push them to be better, just CEO egos and investors to please.
