  • It's a great way to expose yourself as not knowing literally anything about how enterprise computing works. Oh really, Microsoft isn't going to dominate the corporate space in 10 years? So what's this hot new technology that's going to replace Active Directory, group policies, etc? Sure, a lot of software has been shifting towards platform agnostic and web apps, but as far as providing your employees with computers to work on, keeping them safe from malware, preventing employees from doing certain things on those computers, controlling who can access what...there is only one operating system that is the clear winner here. Not to mention the entire UNIX security model is severely limited. Being limited to 3 permissions for 3 different classes of users is not going to meet the demands of middle management people who obsess over what permissions they are willing to give employees.

  • "I swear, officer, I was just searching for CP to catch OTHER people!"

    It would be just as pathetic as that scene from Something About Mary. "Yeah I was just going to pee, too!"

    Maybe they had some kind of legal sanctioning to do it, but holy crap, I wouldn't want that in my search history. I would hope software like that has some mechanism where if people search for certain words it results in an automatic reporting to some FBI API somewhere. I actually know of a couple of people who got caught with that stuff. One got 25 years. The other jumped bail and they eventually caught him. I'm not sure if he's been sentenced yet but I bet he'll get double of what the other guy who cooperated got. Those people are creepy AF and nobody in their right mind would want to be associated with any of it. Those people are 10 times worse than neo nazis.

    The funny thing is the first guy, everybody could kind of tell he was a creep. But the FBI caught him and he completely cooperated and admitted everything. The second guy, he really seemed like he was going to be the only person in his family who actually turned out to be a decent guy. He was a really sweet kid in a super trashy family. And then all of a sudden everything goes down and everybody is in shock. Then he jumps bail. Last I heard his dad was about to lose his house because he used it as collateral to bail his piece of shit son out of jail.

    This open source software needs to include code that reports certain search terms. There are ML algorithms out there that can automatically detect this stuff. Do not search for that kind of content, thinking you're some sort of vigilante. There are ways to deal with this shit without putting yourself in serious legal peril.

  • I've got 4 Vorons, a 2.4r2, trident, switchwire, and a 0.2. The 2.4 and trident are amazing printers. I'd recommend the trident as your first Voron. Any issues you run into, the Voron community is very helpful and will guide you. As far as kit vendors, the LDO kits are significantly better than the cheap ones like formbot. Don't go with the cheaper option if you can afford the LDO kit. It will make the build a lot easier and more enjoyable. The wiring is the worst part of the build, and LDO gives you all the wiring pre crimped, and they have a lot of extra PCBs that make the wiring even easier.

  • It's what the software industry calls dumping. Microsoft got in trouble for doing it with IE. They give something away for free or cheaper than the competition, basically subsidizing the cost with another lucrative division of the business. We make a bunch of money selling Windows, so we can afford to give away IE for free. And eventually we'll put the competition out of business, then we can increase the price once we no longer have any competition.

  • Their threats are aimed at their own citizens. It's all political theater. Look at all the horrible things that the evil Americans want to do to our people, but through our strong military and nuclear threats we are able to hold them off and protect your lives! It's how the Kim Jong regime holds onto power. As long as they're protecting their citizens from us, their citizens are much less likely to overthrow their dictators. Putin uses a lot of the same tactics against his own people.
