I bet the nazi’s will have fake “real” ones ready to go either way. When they want to take their current purge to the next level, you’re fucking done.

don’t go to shithole america

Actual problem solved.

Yup, as long as the current staff (by and large) are still at the helm of the Ars orbiting HQ, I’ll continue to go there. I’ve lost too many other good tech news sites in the last decade, I can’t lose another one.

The rest of Conde Nast is hot garbage.

Oh don’t worry, the grifters will all have cashed out and be floating away on golden parachutes long after the decades of litigation is over.

^ Right here. Company I worked at had trash dropped in the back of one our service vehicles (as well as some straight up vandalism), had lots of personally identifying info and the culprit had already made themselves well known to our staff a couple weeks prior. Guy told the police the trash was stolen and nothing further ever happened with it.

I guess traditional media is getting their face eaten? Kind of and barely?

Rewritten it could work but as it is written and posted it’s a weak ass LAMF imo.

More depressing than anything.

That’s it right here boys and girls. The only defining factor for utility: Can it fit a sheet of plywood. God help you if you just prop it up - you gotta limp it home if you do that! Needs to sit flat in the bed!

Everything else is a fucking toy.

My understanding is many of their changes were merged back into Freecad for the 1.0 release.

Due to the two piece construction here you would have to wrap this whole thing in sealant to keep water out because (to para-quote Dr. Ian Malcolm) “water uhh finds a way”.

Dab of anti-sieze or stainless hardware would be my go to if I wanted to pull this apart after a couple years.

Re: marketing etc comment at the bottom

This is certainly marketing, whether for the product or the service. However, it’s also got an educational component which is why I’ve enjoyed Slant3D’s videos - I have no use for a print farm service but some of the ideas and principles they want to encourage still apply to my hobbyist designs. That said, whenever I talk about 3d printing with friends and family, someone will talk about doing it as a business and I point to a service like this for that.

There is certainly a grey area to balance but I would lump this content in educational and worthy of discussion. And that’s probably the biggest thing to encourage with a post here - where is the discussion going when sharing content. As a community grows in volume of posts, stricter standards and forking off communities for different niches need to happen.

BB being able to protect itself from the big players is actually a success story of patents. The 800 lb gorilla’s of the industry never made as good of a keyboard, but if they could have copied BB’s superior design, they would have stomped them in a heartbeat.

There’s a lot of shit about what happens for a dying company and selling patents and so forth that absolutely is scummy. Serious discussion needs to happen there, but calling for them to be abolished? That’s just naive.

My brain is itchy now.

Some things are more important.

In the movie the glasses let the wearer see the truth. This template is often used backwards but it’s correct in this case.

I’ve noticed this and really thought it was the website. All sides lose.

Enshittification at its finest.

Different scales. Money is a simple -infiniti to +infiniti. Problems is a parabola that starts starts at +infiniti, approaches zero (without ever getting to zero) before returning to +infiniti when graphed against Money.

The people that coined this phrase clearly lived on the cusp of that return upward on this graph so their observation is limited to that subset.

o rly?

Didn’t read but don’t care. Still, it’s also important to know sources.

Good propaganda machines tell the truth most of the time.

Always keep your guard up.

Break up the mega corps. Enact user privacy-by-default laws. Market dominance via “free product” followed up by bait and switch tactics should be outlawed.
