Bambu made a decent printer that was produceable at scale.
To pretend that there was anything else going on besides the utter failure of open-source to materialize such a thing is an utter delusion.
It's now understood that the bearded fuck Prusa was quite instrumental in holding the tech back with his "home user" philosophy that sees no one print faster than an Mk3 and that PETG is the most hard-core material you're allowed.

You have to worry about that. If you use GPL code in your non-GPL FOSS project you still can have bunch of GPLfags complaining, demanding license changes etc. it's the same kind of cancer as mongodb license.
GPL is incompatible with most popular FOSS licenses and ironically limits what kind of freedoms you can grant the users of your code. It's better avoided in any FOSS project.

Google has decided to play hardball with Ublock Origin. I need adfree gooning or I'm going to get blueballs. Should I just compile it from the source and load it in developer mode? I have already messed with the flags, but it seems like Google is messing with that option too. I realized that in the time I have been searching for config options I could have just compiled it. What work around are you using Anon? I'm using Chrome.

Wayland code is very verbose. Win32 has a lot of 'wtf' design decisions, like how everything is a "window" even though we think of a window as a top level object, or the weird enums they use and their ambiguous behavior. But Win32 is more succinct than X or Wayland
>>
>>106473827
you have to write lots of boilerplate for wayland because its design mandates you maintaining a large state machine of the whole client state yourself since states are only delivered with events (for which every single one you need to register a listener for) and can't be queried
there are also lots of restrictions on wayland that don't exist on any other window systems
in my library wayland uses 2x of the code to achieve the same functionality as win32/x11

I said that I didn't test any of this and people are like LGTM but I doubt anyone actually tested/read deep into it/cross referenced the datasheets either.

I guess we are testing in production now.

Man when this game launched it was heralded as super optimized for PC and saying AA does what AAA can't but now it's a year later and the game has sprawled into being completely unmanageable performance wise by the devs themselves

THIS is why people only buy top of the line GPUs and 9800X3Ds now. Because look at that. A Double A game cannot even keep up its performance just a year later. And this was a game that the devs said "No DLSS - Doesn't need it!" and now they realise what a big fucking mistake that was.

I did a small research (pics included) and I've noticed there's something strange happening with recent WD hard drives.

For instance let's take a look at this 4TB WD Purple (WD43PURZ), the datasheet says it's CMR but if you look at the graph it behaves like SMR and TRIM is supported.
https://files.catbox.moe/xdudsc.jpg

Same applies to 4TB WD Blue/Red Plus models, all these have 256MB cache and 181 buffer zones (like WD Red EFAX) instead of typical 61 like normal CMR WD drive.
https://files.catbox.moe/htn2k3.jpg

Look at these 4TB drives - they all look like this SMR WD Red EFAX drive.
https://files.catbox.moe/cz46vl.jpg

And 6TB WD drives are also identical to this EFAX drive.
https://files.catbox.moe/nd55ho.jpg

So WD is lying again like they did when they released their first SMR Red. Avoid all 4-6TB models, unless it's enterprise class (Gold, Black, Ultrastar).

Just in case let me show you a difference between a pseudo-CMR (modern Purple) and a real CMR (older Red). See these dips in the upper graph? This is a sign of a 2nd layer translator activity which is used in SMR drives, it's static, but still exposes itself during small block writes. The lower graph looks much smoother.

>>106473323

Not sure about toshibas and the fact that the NAS/survelliance category which is designed for performance contains both SMR/CMR (even if they point that out unline WD) is rather concerning. But the MG ones are rock solid, if I'm not mistaken some of them are based on native Hitachi drives (not HGST). Also it's funny to see 512mb cache in some MG drives because in real life it's no different from 8mb cache, it doesn't improve access time or small block write speed.

Another thing that bothers me is that It's just becoming impossible to find a 4-6TB 5400rpm CMR HDD, but oddly there are still decent 1-2TB and 8TB variants and nothing good in between. Back then there were great choices such as WD30-60EFRX, WD30-60PURZ, but for some reason they decided to stop producing such drives and intruduced a new disk family called Venice (that infamous first SMR Red was based on it),

Instead of learning their lesson after getting caught they decided to double down and introduce a new type of advanced SMR hybrid which has special buffer zones that emulate a CMR behavior, a hidden 2nd lvl translator with a static module instead of just making a classic CMR drive. That's why these new 4-6TB WD Red Plus/Purple drives have 256mb cache (Purple even has TRIM), these are not CMR despite what the datasheet says.

Lies
At my work we track literally millions of drives. Even the earliest HGST Helium drives don't show any signs of leaking.
We would know as it was tracked that some technician decided to open HDD ESD bags with a knife and caused a few thousand drives to leak from literal gouges in the case. They were preemptively replaced before they even failed.
Don't abuse your drives and you won't have an issue.

I get "new thing bad" but just because your miserable doesn't mean your BS is acceptable.
