Centauri Carbon: Around 300 bucks Bambu Lab A1 mini: Around 200 bucks

How much more entry level can you get? That's below most Voron builds, btw.

You came in here with a claim that was simply not valid. The most likely explanation is that your printer is misconfigured. But you keep on generalising your subjective experience towards everyone else,even though you have been disproven.

Now make it 60! That's the only number that counts! One per second!

(And yes, that's doable,done that,but won't do it again..it wasn't pretty,it wasn't fun)

Whut? Basically every 3D printer does print way above that (300°+X is the industrial norm for more advanced new printers now e.g. Centauri Carbon, Artillery M1 Pro, BL, etc.). 250° is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary these days and can be achieved by basically every 3D printer a major brand brought out in the last two years. Even the A1mini can do so.

Polymaker's ASA is recommended to be printed at 250° and Formfuturas ASA, BL ABS, Formfutura ABS(reTitan), Fiberology, For Polymakers ABS the lowest temp recommended starts at 245°C, goes up to 265.

Most Nylons, PCTG start above 250°C as well. And let's not even start about proper high Temperature materials like PEEK,ULTEM,PEI.

Don't get me wrong,but maybe your temp sensor is off(not unheard off in Vorons) or your settings are off. I have yet to see someone get ASA printed well with settings well below the recommendations.

Yeah, a friend of mine literally told them "I'd rather let you fire me than end up in El Salvador".

They didn't fire him. The US client was infuriated, but now they meet in Canada or London.

Don't get the Kobo,it works only mediocre with Calibre Web and other "web based" "personal librarys" - and Kobo is forcing Kepub down users throat more and more. Kobo only looks good if you come from the hellhole that Kindle has become,tbh.

I would highly recommend looking into Pocketbook and especially Onyx if your goal is a more "free" approach.

Yeah. Some even go on Holidays to Florida.

I have some very very remote family links to an Amish family. They absolutely use technology but can only do so for work purposes, the computer is highly locked down, in a special room at their work (a carpentry business) and only specific people are allowed to use it. But they have a newsletter and do market their products online and may have a website (But I don't know the latter for sure).

It was long debated in their community if it was permissible for us to send them E-Mails as that clearly is a personal purpose, but with us being in Europe and Australia it was also considered that the "bond of the family" is important to them. In the end they found a typical "Amish" solution - a very "special one". We received their monthly newspaper(which is normally printed only,but is electronically produced) and were allowed to send "urgent" messages (e.g. if someone was born,died,etc.) to them(and they were allowed to answer then). But not personal business, that has to go through regular mail. (Funny enough when I was in highschool and asked a few general questions via e-mail for a school presentation that was sooner than mailing back and forth allowed, that brought up another big discussion and they had to decide if answering my questions would already be proselytising or not. (It wasn't but that took longer than my presentation date...so it didn't help so much).

We have lost contact sadly during COVID as their children all didn't come back from Rumspringa(and are seemingly not interested )and the parents have grown old - which is a bit sad considering that this connection was held up for the whole time since the Amish left Europe.

Yeah. This and CAD software sadly are the last things windows is really needed for me,sadly.

The learning curve isn't that step anymore, especially for Singleplayer - even for more experienced Arma Players the main frustration there is the "trial and error" factor in the missions. Online it's a bit different - if you don't play full on MILSIM and focus on infantry combat you will be good there as well. It's all manageable these days. And still great fun.

No,sadly not, but I have a very special use case - user Information based access to files of external customers. They basically require a shitload of Azure,etc. Already takes a lot of work on Win, it is simply impossible with Wine. But again: A very special use case that even most Enterprise users won't need.

From a gaming perspective: Get a new drive (NVMe/whatever your OS is on), drop Nobara on it, be done, have the option to switch back without a hassle if you need it for some special tasks or games.

And after 6 months find out that you never actually did that so delete windows/migrate it into a VM and enjoy the extra game drive you won.

That's at least what worked for 90% of my friends meanwhile.

The only person I know who routinely uses windows is myself- and I only do so,because I need certain MS Office stuff that I need for work. (And no,libre or Softmaker,etc. are sadly not a replacement for that. )

Nah, my bad, the later. Sorry

As we are looking at the company expenditures here, it's the former.

For me? Panasonic Thoughbook CF30. I had one. Quite an impressive thing at the time. And sturdy as fuck - I carried mine through the jungle, for more than 100.000km around the world. It had a fucking hard drive and lcd heater for colder environments and mobile broadband.

And you literally couldn't destroy it. Mine wasn't outpaced or destroyed, it took Air France and Paris CDG to kill it -they stole it.

You have a massive misconception about the current capabilities of Diesel powered subs. They have a range of 8000nm +x (most sources give a range of 12000nm for next generation subs), can stay submerged for 30+ days and are far quieter than Nuclear subs.

Modern Diesel-Fuel Cell subs like the German/Italian Class 212 have a (minimum) range of 8000nm, can stay submerged for 30 days and are far quieter, which becomes especially relevant in areas with low depth, as you cannot hide in favourable temperature layers that easy there. There is also an option for a "longe version" available which seems to be able to stay submerged even longer and there is always the updated Dolphin class Israel uses as well as the Drakar class or Singapores 218SG. They have been specifically designed to operate in conditions that are very similar to the ones in the yellow sea (that's why SK bought them). There are also alternatives from Sweden(Gotland&Blekinhe class), the updated Soryu from Japan (which is specifically built for a mission profile similar to the Australian one), Spain, South Korea (they even have a nice mixture of hunter-ballistic sub available)etc.

There is a reason that every nation that has a mission profile in the South Chinese sea, the straight or Malacca and the yellow sea has decided to use a non nuclear sub - even nuclear friendly Japan doesn't.

The only good reason beyond Cronyism and bribes for Australia to use nuclear US subs is that OZ might want to use them in support of future US conflicts e.g. in the Gulf of Oman, off the Pakistani shores, etc.

I never understood how they could choose Apotheker. He was literally fired from SAP in less than a year and yet HP got him as a CEO.

WebOS had its flaws,but it could have made HP market leader - at that time Apple was far from "enterprise ready", Android even less so, so if they had done it right they would have every CIO in their pocket within 4 years.

But of course that doesn't count for the next quarterly shareholder report. And Apotheker had to go "all in" on Software, because that's what he, the salesman he is, sold them.

This is only partially true - all comments include identifying information as they are always linked to a IP and username (both being personal information) and might be linked to a post history,etc.

In theory they could absolutely scrub that information AND make sure that none of your post holds your (or other peoples) persknal information - but they would need to do so manually and by someone who is quite knowledgeable in these matters. So while it's possible it's not economical to do so.

Currently Reddit usually does nothing and does not give a fuck, but that will fuck them over at some point - I know of multiple national data security ombudsmen who are currently investigating.

And a 80k$ salary in France amounts to around 125k$ cost for the employer. So 170k$ isn't that much - I actually know French developers and network engineers that make similar money. The French ITsec architect I interviewed last year would have cost me (converted) around 150k$.

So 170k$ is absolutely not out of the normal range here.

Talking about France: The French government could start to properly support matrix.org as they use it for tChap. The same goes for Germany with the "Behördenmessenger"

Tbh, I read that there were multiple Stasi Agents faking exactly that type of personality. If you can't keep a secret besides that one important secret... Everyone will think you can't keep a secret. ... which means you couldn't be a spy.

Especially as his brother was with him on the flight.

That is another level of gruesomeness.
