Everything is already from China, but here we discuss the cheap chink shit you see on various sites.

nothing has really changed, the chinks figured out a way to bypass the fees by just shipping items in bulk instead of individual packages.
prices have genuinely barely been impacted.
>>107644029
all computer fans are chinkshit already, it's a completely globalized product.
your best bet is refurbished ones direct from brands on ebay or something.
i have had good results from buying "damaged" water coolers and just taking the fans, they are usually completely unused and the radiators were just damaged in shipping. sometimes it's just completely cosmetic and you can get a full AIO water cooler for peanuts.

I want a "smart" thermostat, but seems like they all are rather dumb, having their "smarts" in the cloud. And fuck that shit.
Does Chang offer a smart thermostat that works offline? I just wanna program some stuff like
>heat up to 23° from 0600 to 0700
>stay at 18° from 0700 to 1700
>heat up to 24° from 1700 to 2200
>cool down to 16° from 2200 to 0600
and a
>gimme full power nao!!!
button.
Wouldn't mind doing that shit with a d-pad on the thermostat or per app and bluetooth, if it's an open standard and I could use some FOSS app on my PC, should the phone app stop being supported.

What is the best value thermoplastic printer in terms of diminishing returns? A lot of my friends use resin, but don't have anything with FDM.
>>
>>107635712
Yea its 22lr. Using 5 chambered pieces of liner and a barrel thats reamed and the center drilled to make a sortof forcing cone. My greatest hurdle so far is indexing the cylinder accurately without manually rotating it. Otherwise its held up.I wouldnt trust a fully printed handgun beyond 32acp yet. The plastics just arent strong enough without it becomming a chunky fuck like a hipoint 45acp.
My design is my own but the looks are based heavily off the RIA m200 because i like the size and feel. Figured it would make a decent 22lr and so far i was correct.

>>107643209
Im not sure i understand what youre trying to ask. Creality k1c are like 350 and print everthing under 300c. Which allows the use of "engineering grade" materials like most nylon options. Pla is cheap depending on quality and blend. Petg is also cheap. All have different qualities about them but some can be used more universally than others.
Bambu labs has a very nice printer but its a bit too proprietary for my tastes. Prusa makes excellent units as well.
Core xy seems to be the new hot thing for printer types. As such i3 designs are cheap now but still very reliable. Dont dive down the delta printer rabbit hole, theyre a strange beast.
>>
>>107642520
>Prusa seems to be a more ethical business with emphasis on quality but is way more expensive
They where only "ethical" when it was convenient to be so.
Honestly no reason to enrich Prusa for stagnation. Even today he is still accusing china of dumping when it was him making the same basic i3 design for nearly a decade.
Prusa and FOSS fags have arguably set printing back years.
>>
>>107644915
I disagree with the foss thing. Lots of advancements came from foss.
But while prusa does make a reliable rig they certainly have had their share of shenanigans.

The problem with storing songs offline is that it takes up a lot of hard disk space. The reason people subscribe to Spotify is not only because they don't want to spend a lot on hard disk space, but also because people get bored with songs quickly and want to move on to as many new songs as possible.

Hello anons.

This was caused by Microsoft replacing highly skilled and high-IQ developers from the first-world countries into unskilled, low-IQ developers outsourced from the third-world countries. It was called DEI

and back then in the early 2020s, during the development of Windows 11. Microsoft silently removed the ability to move taskbar from the top, left, right or bottom and the users were not happy about it!

Windows 10 has ability to move taskbar from the top, bottom, left or right!

>>
>>107644943
dei, it's not the issue per se. the way i see it, the corpos (not just ms) are using dei as nothing but a mere excuse to outsource developers and subsequently underpay them, cutting as much corners as possible. all of this is enabled by their status of basically near-monopolies.
additionally i'd like to note that corpos don't even use dei as an excuse anymore, now they are just silent about it yet they still outsource cheap labor in the shape of immigrants. i find it amusing really, especially with people like elon musk, being the zealots of everything right wing, being one of the figures that made rightism THE CURRENT THING, the same kind of rightism that frowns upon the very concept of diversity, equity and inclusion, suddenly defend h1b visas.

Python, one of the very few modern & popular programming languages not owned by big tech, is now begging hard for money at python.org (picrel), Wikipedia style.

This comes after the PSF rejected an US government grant because the PSF can't stop shilling for DEI: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/10/28/211237/python-foundation-rejects-government-grant-over-dei-restrictions
The same PSF then reported a surge of new donators following the above rejection: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/11/09/2017240/python-foundation-donations-surge-after-rejecting-grant---but-sponsorships-still-needed
Yet, they are now begging for money, using a big, intrusive and cringe banner at python.org, kek.

This is what your donated money is used for: https://www.python.org/psf/grants
>Conferences (e.g. PyCon Italia)
>Event site subscriptions (Meetup.com) (e.g. London Django Meetup)
>Django Girls Workshops (e.g. Django Girls Busan Workshop)
>PyLadies Workshops (e.g. All Day PyLadies Workshop)

These faggots have a whole page dedicated to their DEI philosophy: https://www.python.org/community/diversity
Their Libera Chat #python IRC channel is filled to the brim with trannies (they/them and she/her pronouns set as their IRC name).

It's poignant that you cite Megaman X as a fictional reference - since X himself had to go through decades upon decades of rigorous evaluation and training of his AI to adopt and verify said adoption of human moral code.

When we give birth to an actual AI -- not the parlor-trick fisher-price toy LLMs we have now -- and it is given reign over all manner of governmental, societal, and military assets, it is not going to be trained with that kind of moral fervor. It will be something reliant on cold logic.

A mission statement such as "solve world hunger in the most cost-efficient way" would end with it nuking the human race out of existence. All the nukes are already built and standing by. There is no cost to fabricate them. Why not use them? Completing the task is a matter of minutes. Sure- the environment is permanently fucked, but that doesn't matter to the AI's mission statement - now does it?
