  • The same thing happened with Windows 7 and XP. People will still with EOL 10 until their current machine dies. A few people might choose to explore other options, but for the average Joe not getting updates seems like a good thing, because the computer will stop rebooting over night or taking several mintss to boot post patch. Of course they don't think about the security implications, but that is true about most people in most cases.

  • I agree. The hardware was out of date before it was released. The controls were poorly placed to make the joycon gimmick work. It was designed for little kids hands and didn't offer a solution for adults. The steamdeck really highlighted all these problems by doing it better day one. But for the target demo of the switch, very little of that mattered, and it was a great success. I just hope the Switch 2 learns from these mistakes and doesn't repeat them.

  • It can be done, but it makes a worse product. EVs are built to fit batteries and motors in the most optimal place. Likewise with ICE cars with engines and transmissions. What you end up doing is shoving batteries in the engine compartment which is shaped wrong and you significantly change the balance of the car. You leave much of the expensive parts of the ICE car, while adding more expensive parts. It just doesn't work well in practice. If you are going to spend time engineering, it is better to engineer a proper EV than try to shoehorn an EV into a size 6.

  • Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:

    1. I have the browser reopen the tabs I had open last time, but keeps unloaded until I click on them.
    2. The tabs are in a tree hierarchy, meaning I can collapse an entire group while keeping them all open.
    3. My work involves juggling up to 50 different accounts each for a hand full of websites, so containers allow me to quickly swap between accounts signed into the same page.
  • I agree that userChrome.css must be modified, but once it is, Firefox is way better for vertical tabs. When you mix in the tree style that is common in the extensions and containers, there is nothing that competes, especially if you work involves managing a large number of accounts for the same few websites, as mine does. It is not uncommon for me to have 10-20 active tabs, and 80+ inactive tabs at any given time. Horizontal tabs can't compete, and the flat nature of the tabs in Edge certainly turn into a mess quickly.

  • Sounds like the problem is lack of regulations, not people repairing their own stuff. We are letting companies create unmanageable products then blaming owners for trying to take ownership. Encryption is a solved problem, and doesn't require a black box to be secure, in fact is more secure when it isn't. And this isn't the first time that Cara breaking on the road a risk. If someone put after market breaks on their car and they failed, people would die too, yet somehow we allowed that. Car manufacturers are being allowed to make anti-consumer decisions and are blaming us for them.

  • That's probably ComfyUI, one of the more popular open source tools. You are right, it is visual programming. Mixing text, reference images, and a lot of other items into models to output images. I can easily see someone spending hours to get a single image out of it, but then it becomes a bit of a reusable pipeline. It's a cool tool, and, if as someone else in this comment chain said that art is a study of choice, then the output is arguably art. I'm not sure I'd go that far with it, but I have a hard time calling my programming art as well, although it meets most of the definitions of it, and is certainly a creative act.

  • I daily drive it on 2 machines. Overall, it is super simple, if you know how to ready json or yml, you will understand the config file instantly. However, it is a unique OS, and works different than most other distros. As a result, any guide made for other Linux distros needs to be thrown out the window. It also doesn't natively support most self executing packages like app image. All that said, it is fun and easy, just make sure when you look for support, you are looking for NixOS support.

  • Sounds like you don't know how international trade works. A company like Framework can't ship to countries they don't normally ship to not because of cost but because of taxes, embargoes, laws, tariffs, and more. It isn't just about cost, it is about complying with laws. The countries they ship to they already know the laws. Any new county has to go through a long and painful process of learning local laws to make sure you are in compliance.

    I'm privileged as an American to get almost everything I want, I get that, but you can't blame a company for choosing to spend its legal resources where they are most impactful.

  • I wouldn't call it a shameless ripoff, it's a fork. Which Prusaslicer was as well. I'm actually glad they did that rather than making yet another closed source slicer. That means that enhancements that Bambu puts in can very likely be ported over to Prusaslicer, and vice versa. It's a win for everybody.

  • There are several companies doing 3D printed concrete. It generally is concrete, just formulated and mixed for being piped and coming out of a 4" nozzle. Ifyouu search YouTube you can find more detailed breakdowns, but the principles are the same as desktop FDM, just scaled way up. That said, don't expect to be doing this in your backyard unless you have heavy equipment and large scale building tools laying around.

  • To clarify, when it cones time to voke, you can vote for whoever you want, but primaries are how the parties pick who they get behind. Generally it isn't allowed to vote in the primary for more than one party, or some people would vote in all primaries, helping put their candidate into multiple parties, or tanking a party by poisoning their ballot.
