This is just putting your own morals and conditions on generosity and also assuming you know what's best for the homeless person. Yes, I agree we need systemic change to address homelessness but that's not what this is about. I think we should give without judgement. You're not gonna give them the whole rehabilitation treatment and society has failed them, who are you to judge if the next fix is or isn't the best thing for them to cope, minimize their suffering, make it through a hard day or cold night?
This whole conversation wreaks of holier than thou.
Lol yes it is. Most of the population would be mitigated suffering if you just gave them money. Literally money buys happiness until you're like a millionaire. Get off your high horse and treat these people like humans and not as something less than.
This is such a bad take. If it's so profitable why don't you quit your job and go beg for a living? Someone is asking for help and your response is to question their worthiness or intention?
Someone is asking for help. Help if you can. It's not easy to get out their and hold a sign belittling yourself and putting your fate in the hands of strangers. Have a little humanity.
Try https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=eVP_Zj2Iaw0, it worked for me, but the site has a warning that YouTube started issuing captchas for videos breaking a lot of services
Some of those inefficiencies are by design though, especially for any department that might pay out to the customer for the company's mistakes. You would make a well reviewed call center that big companies don't want to hire because they'll actually do the job.
I'm sorry to hear that! Have you contacted customer support yet? I've heard and found them to be very helpful, but I can't speak for that issue directly
Bambu lab is just doing a capitalism, no one should be surprised. These guys have wide reach and bring many people who'd otherwise never 3d print into this world.
Also, they push all kinds of innovation in the industry. The h2d is arguably the best consumer printer on the market currently. My a1 mini is a workhorse with over 700 hours of prints on it. The thing is a champ that will likely never receive another firmware update and I'm okay with that. I already have a security camera pointed at the thing for better viewing, I can easily put the thing on a controlled outlet if Bambu handy stops working. I guess I'll lose the ability to exclude failed objects in a print, but I'm still not gonna knock this machine. It prints good and made me love 3d printing.
That being said my new qidi Q1 pro is open ish source, runs on a modified klipper and often produces better prints but is definitely quirkier. It has already frustrated me more than my a1 and taken more hours of troubleshooting and calibration at a third of the print hours.
I'm into electronics and a huge nerds who halfway got this to be able to tinker, mod, and fine tune, but I could imagine my experience with the qidi would turn off many to 3d printing. But my journey started with Bambu, a printer that just worked and turned me into a full fledged 3d printing nerd who is eyeballing a third printer because now I want a kit or bom and to build one.
I hope that wasn't too long winded or nonsensical, I'm a little on vacation
They definitely do lol. My kid uses chat gpt, and he also has critical thinking skills. I've taught him to look for evidence and apply logic, not trust blindly what anyone or anything tells him.
Mostly he gets frustrated that chat gpt struggles to precisely remember the imaginary dinosaurs he created with it's help.
Oh yeah, and he knows how to write with a pencil on paper. He'd rather dictate and let speech recognition do the typing (which he is also capable of), but what kid do you know that doesn't love a shortcut? I'd blame lazy parents, but most of them are just too tired after working 2.5 jobs to earn a living wage for them and their families you can't really blame them.
Fwiw I kinda wanna see what awful slop their generative ai ads will be. Literally the first time in years I've been mildly interested to see an ad. Not that I'll stop blocking ads to see them, but, mildly interested.
I spent 10 minutes perusing that site too and came to a similar conclusion. It's gotta either be parody or hate mongering. It kinda reads like a teenager who made bad edits to Wikipedia, got banned from editing and then made it their life's work to hate Wikipedia.
That 10 reasons post was so silly, complaining about the need to check sources and verify data while providing no sources and spouting clearly skewed beliefs.
I've been wanting an active dry box box for a while because even though I live in a dry climate, it seems like some of the rolls of petg I've bought have come a little wet and I want to be able to run them through the dryer. I bought the dryer for $80 and I'm pretty happy with the cost vs effectiveness based on the reviews. We'll see when it gets there!
I did pull the trigger on getting the Q1 Pro. If I fall in love with qidi products there's a good chance I'll end up making my next buy the plus4. Thank you for you input!
