Forgiving is the word for this - being able to undo mistakes and recover. I reckon FreeCAD would massively benefit from doing a complete feature freeze and focusing on usability for a couple of releases.
It doesn't have to be an entire service. It could be a Mastodon / Lemmy node under their own control, but they should still mirror the information to other social media platforms, perhaps with a link underneath pointing to their own server as source of truth.
This is quite frankly what all NGOs, news orgs and major companies should do - federate so they can moderate their own message. Seems bizarre to me that the BBC, or UN, or NATO or whatever wouldn't want to control their messaging this way. But realistically they do need to mirror the message out to other services.
I bet they spam that message through every medium they can - TV, radio, loudspeakers, phone alert, text, traffic signs, all the social media platforms.
It's probably one of numerous ways they try and reach people. Wouldn't be surprised if they have it set up to spam alerts out through various mechanisms including social media. It's just that one platform is now complete dogshit. Maybe this failure will hasten Twitter's decline in Japan.
Every single Uncharted was groundbreaking for its time. Not just the narrative, but the gameplay and the technology itself. They delivered again for The Last of Us and sequel. So two A-grade franchises under their belt.
Doesn't mean they'll have another hit but it stands to reason they're not sat on their asses doing nothing right now. They're either working on a TLOU spinoff or a new franchise or both. Now I'm not privy to what they're up to but I'm sure if you google "Naughty Dog rumors" you might pick up some hints. e.g. one rumour suggests a game codenamed Paradox whose description sounds oddly close to what the Fallen London (Sunless Sea / Sunless Skies) franchise is although I doubt it would be the same, mores a pity. Fallen London is such a mad premise it shocks me it hasn't gotten it's own TV series.
I think FreeCAD would win a lot more converts if it focused on usability. Fusion360 and Onshape are parametric modelers just like FreeCAD yet they're way simpler, taskcentric and more forgiving tools to use.
Did you turn layer ironing / smoothing on for the last layer not all top layers? Aside from smoothing modern slicers can also use more attractive patterns for top layers than zig zag such as hilbert.
It also looks like you might have underflow issues so maybe check your e-step setting on your printer to ensure you're extruding proper amount of filament. There are articles that explain the process but you basically mark a reference point on the filament, e.g. 10cm away from where it enters the extruder, tell the printer to extrude 10cm, mark and measure how far away the mark is from where it's meant to be. So if the filament moves 7cm when it should have 10cm then your e-steps need to be multiplied by 10/7.
Wouldn't the problem be that you'd still have to remove the print, wash it, empty the vat, clean the vat & build plate and only then could you put the print back in and then fire up the UV. Meanwhile you won't be using the printer for anything else. Maybe it's easier to just buy something that can wash & cure separate to the printer or leave the print out in the sun to cure.
Plastic cutlery is disappearing in most countries - it's all wood or cardboard now. I suppose someone could make a business of collecting used cutlery where it's still in use and recycle it (not necessarily into filament), but I wonder if it would be economically viable.
BL touch works great but you need to get the Z offset. Then you can just G29 before the print or whenever and it works great. I hate manual levelling and these days there isn't much reason for it. I've just upgraded to a Bambu P1S and levelling is even more straightforward since there is no Z-offset since it uses the hotend itself to probe.
In my Ender 3 Pro I found tightening the screws too much made the bed bow, so I loosened them until they were just firm but not forcing up the corners. I also replaced the default springs with stiffer ones so once set they stayed set. I also built a custom Marlin firmware and I changed the bed mesh algorithm to probe more points and use a more sophisticated algorithm to compensate for levelling. This was with a Bigtree 1.2 board which barely had enough memory for the firmware but I made it work. After that I really didn't have any issues. Biggest pain was dialing in the Z-offset on the BL touch.
I actually got off my arse and did some productive programming over the Christmas break. Spent too long vegetating in front of the computer watching YouTube vids or playing games.
Well obviously it was a failure and always was going to be a failure. Whereas before there was frictionless trade, travel, employment, living, there is now an ever expanding wall of bullshit and red tape. Getting goods to and from Europe is subject to import duties and delays that just kills trade - why would a Spanish company buy widgets from the UK when a supplier in Germany can supply them faster and reliably without any customs redtape?
It will take the UK years to form other trade deals, none of which will be remotely as favourable as they would get with negotiating power of the entire EU behind them. There have already been noises in the UK press about having to take food from the US which would fail EU standards - bleached chicken, GM crops, growth hormones etc. And that's because when the US comes to the negotiating table they're going to bend the UK over and screw them. And China, India and the rest of the world will be lining up for some sloppy seconds.
The article suggests the vaccine prevents the recurrence of a specific cancer by 44% vs conventional treatment alone. So let's be pessimists and say it only prevents recurrence by 22%. Should we eat our words that still 1/5th of people who'd otherwise die or suffer horribly from a recurring cancer now don't?
I think I would be more skeptical of the eventual price of this treatment and less about its effectiveness.
In a monolithic system where this happens, your only choice as a user is to walk away entirely. e.g. in Twitter it used to have moderation against the worst people and now it doesn't and you can choose to stay or go. At least in a federated system if you don't like the server you're on you can find another and can even migrate your account to that other server.
If you look at any modern desktop application, e.g. those built over GTK or QT, then they're basically rendering stuff into a pixmap and pushing it over the wire. All of the drawing primitives made X11 efficient once upon a time are useless, obsolete junk, completely inadequate for a modern experience. Instead, X11 is pushing big fat pixmaps around and it is not efficient at all.
So I doubt it makes any difference to bandwidth except in a positive sense. I bet if you ran a Wayland desktop over RDP it would be more efficient than X11 forwarding. Not familiar with waypipe but it seems more like a proxy between a server and a client so it's probably more dependent on the client's use/abuse of calls to the server than RDP is when implemented by a server.
I'm sure it's easier for them in a sense. I write software to control cloud based devices that are not adjacent to the caller and they use message based comms. But it's also an unnecessary overhead to upload a 70Mb file to the cloud and back down again. If I were writing this software I'd consider some shortcut mechanism where the send file action could be sent to the printer directly and only fallback to cloud if that was not possible. If for no other reason that saving myself money and general responsiveness. I'm sure it would be achievable by doing a UPnP scan of the local network and allowing the PC to talk to the printer if it possesses and sends an API key - much like Octoprint works. Also, local network probably helps for the camera which could just blast a feed out on UDP.
I'm not sure it helps them "steal" models because they probably have 100,000s of models passing through their system every day. It would be a wall of noise and random junk. And these aren't models in the CAD sense, but some STL meshes and print settings. It does give Bambu information about what filaments people are using and in what quantity, the frequency they print as well as geographic location. That might be useful for marketing. If a government was interested in a particular user, they could also see in retrospect what they were printing. e.g. if someone were printing gun parts then maybe there would be evidence of that in the cloud.
I have to wonder how he'd pay the fine given that his NY businesses will be under administration. What else is he going to have to sell to pay it off? And I don't see banks being very amenable to Trump if he has a massive fine looming. Wouldn't be surprised if he pulls some bankruptcy BS, not to protect himself from the fine, but all the other people he's in hock to who might be wanting their money back right now.
