Maybe we should switch to co-ops and employee-owned companies to fix that bullshit

Sounds like a skill issue on your part. Cope harder.

I mean it should be a no brainer

Key word being should. I haven’t looked into these options yet, but there’s a reason Microslot has a reputation for hiding setting

Fukushima happened in early 2011. Your graph doesn’t start until 2016. Sketchy af.

You can sync between devices securely with syncthing.

That being said, the syncthing-fork devs are refusing to get certified with Google Play (which I support) so by the end of the year you’ll need a deGoogle’d phone

Assuming you have a degoogle’d phone. The syncthing-fork devs announced that they aren’t going to certify for Google Play when that’s made a requirement in a few months

Geothermal power is limited to specific locations, and the best source in the US, Yellowstone, can’t have power plants built by law.

And I just realized you meant geothermal HVAC. You’d probably need a lot of space to dissipate that heat, but should technically be possible

Nuclear waste can be reprocessed and reused. France has been doing it for decades. Or you could reuse it in a thorium reactor, which needs less reprocessing.

Another thing people forget about is that nuclear power is the main source for tritium, which we have a shortage of and it’s getting worse as more nuclear plants are decommissioned. Tritium has a lot of uses, but it’s most noteworthy use is fuel for fusion power. If decommission all nuclear plants, fusion research is effectively dead in the water

I’m in favor of nuclear, but no. Nuclear can’t handle surges. It takes up to 3 days for a plant to sync to the grid.

The only power sources that can handle surges are hydro, batteries, and natural gas turbines.

Then nuclear power is good at is providing baseline power and slowly ramping that up and down to handle seasonal fluctuations, since solar power peaks during summer. Something else is needed to pick up the slack during winter

Ah, yes, the German Green party which famously shut down nuclear plants in favor of…

Bambu Lab’s software is forked from software that used the AGPL license. Then they made their code closed source, which is expressly forbidden by AGPL.

Bambu Labs are the ones who have been in the wrong this entire time, it’s just that nobody has seriously called them out on it before

I can’t wrap my head around how the people in the article get anything done on the computer.

Sure, I could have File Explorer search for a file in theory, but it’s ridiculously slow and often fails to find the files I actually want. It’s way faster to just have things organized on a day-to-day basis

Doesn’t mean the people wearing nazi glasses are any less deserving of being punched in the face

regardless of whether or not it generates speeding tickets or other inconveniences.

Speeding increases the distances needed to stop. That’s really important in school zones, where there’s kids crossing the street. Not only that, Waymo’s cars can’t identify school buses that are stopped to pick up and drop off students and tend to drive right past them.

The only reason they haven’t killed any kids yet is because they’re kept in small areas of cities away from schools. If you don’t believe me, here’s a video covering it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcq0tjmvGOs

And focusing on developing self-driving cars as robotaxis is silly when there’s a way better solution: re-zoning cities to make them more walkable and building more publiv transport. Removing cars from cities is way safer, and reduces issues like congestion and noise pollution.

And then there’s the issues of major tech companies trying to build up monopolies and fund fascist takeovers of the government (i.e. Elon Musk and Tesla), but that’s tangential to the main argument.

That’s my opinion, anyway. I won’t downvote you, I only downvote comments unhelpful to the overall conversation, you’re not being unhelpful, I just disagree with you.

I know you think you’re being polite with this, but you’re actually being incredibly condescending here.

How’s the repairability of the printer? Can you get replacement parts from 3rd parties? Can you get different nozzle sizes?

I currently just use an Ender 3 Pro, and it’s comforting to know that I can easily get replacement parts and upgrades for anything on the printer. And I can trust that’ll continue for years, even if Creality goes out of business

I also use 0.2mm nozzles fairly often for smaller, more detailed prints like tabletop minis. I can get quality that almost matches SLA printers

There’s also tons of incidents of Waymo robo-taxis speeding through school zones, turning the wrong way onto one-way streets, and stopping in the middle of the road obstructing traffic. And this is carefully curated sections of cities that they are contained in.

The lack of fatalities seems to be in spite of Waymo, not because of

They constantly need manual corrections by humans remoting in, much like with Tesla. So downvote me all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that both companies can’t achieve what they claim.

This is also 100% true for MBA’s

The thing is that waymo did this

Except they didn’t. Self-driving is effectively nonexistent for both companies

If anything is impossible, it’s Utah having any sense. They started out as a cult, and they still follow it

Google search up until about 5 years ago. Then they enshittified in favor of AI summaries that regularly get shit wrong
