The counter to surveillance and data caching is to create as much junk data as possible. That's why the whole "AI IS THE FUTURE" shit with regard to infosec and cyber warfare is hilarious. Because it's a foil to itself, and it's an infinite money sink for any nations that make the folly to venture down the AI road. Because the counter to enhanced surveillance is digital chaff, and the same people are selling weapons to all sides.

>>107642384
It depends entirely on what opperating system you use, and what programs you use.
>>107642394
>>107644425

and thats where local ai comes in. The entire reason web browsers and opperating systems are forcing the ai meme is so that everything you do can be scanned and judged locally before even hitting the internet. They dont need to hoard your junk data if its scanned at your expense on your own machine before being posted.

the text you write, scanned and judged, the pictures and movies you look at, scanned and judged. If bad goy stuff is found, police are called directly by your phone now! Who determines what is bad? Wouldn't you like to know :)

The local ai is just as dangerous as the online ai agent, but tech illiterate people fear it less and think its acceptable to put it in their web browsers or OS as long as they can 'turn it off lmao'. But thats like telling ALEXA or SIRI to stop responding to voice commands. Its still listening.

The only way to protect yourself at this point is to stop updating your software, and only use pre-ai tech. But that will slowly be phased out over time, and eventually you will feel that you have no choice.

>>107642520
Yes, the BambuLab printers are excellent machines. combined with their locked in software and frmware, they work like a charm and are one of the best on the consumer market. Didn't know about the early AMS version flaw you told me about. Sorry for this.
But i think that AMS like multicolor systems are a thing of the past, because toolhead changers are rushing in on the market. These both save you a lot of time and filament in the long run and are well worth the higher price i think.

>ABS printing problem:
It may have to do with lack of heat in the print chamber. Your subsequential layer adhesion problem hints me towards, that it is indeed a chamber temp problem.
ABS is not only prone to suck up moisture VERY fast (hygroscopic), but also very temerature sensitive while printing. The simple task of opening the front lid while printing ABS, can get the print to fail.
There are additional chamber heaters available (forgot the name of the brand). These can help printing stuff like ABS and other more high temp filaments.

>Prusa:
I like Prusa very much and the ability to buy update kits or even print them yourself for most of their models. Only their newest one (forgot the name of it) is not sold as a kit anymore because of 220 Volt implementation ino their heatbed architecture.
The pricing is hefty but well worth it once you have figured out how to optimise the settings. You can basically use Orca or other slicers with them.
I'm also very exited to see when their toolhead changer comes out and how good it will work.
Snapmaker U1 set a landmark there and are super cheap compared to how good it is and that it has a tool changer system.
The RFID thing and their openess is a good thing. I wish every Printer company would use an open RFID identifier.
>>
>>107644915
>Honestly no reason to enrich Prusa for stagnation.
Don't forget, that he produces them in Czech Republic and has to to pay wages accordingly.
For a small company, he keeps up relatively well. It's not easy to compete with large companies like BambuLab or Creality or even Elegoo.

>Even today he is still accusing china of dumping when it was him making the same basic i3 design for nearly a decade.
China is subsidizing a lot of companies so they can ramp out their stuff for cheap and take over entire branches globally. Just look at the car industry and how cheap BYD, Xiaomi and other chinese brands are popping cars on the market that easily would cost double if made in Germany or the US.
Elegoo is a good example for this. A VERY good printer for roughly 350 shekelz. Aside from the AMS system desaster, this printer should easily cost 550 or even 600 Shekelz. I bet my ass they get subsidized. So Prusa is right on this.

>Prusa and FOSS fags have arguably set printing back years.
Can absolutely NOT agree on this.
The open source community has put so much effort into the development of Orca, various CAD programs and also Klipper.
It's only justified they want huge 3D-Printer companies to pay fees if they use Klipper for example.

Prusa may struggle to keep up and innovate, but he's not holding progress back.

I had a QD-OLED monitor for a bit over a year (15 months or so)
-No text fringing that can be noticed unless I take a camera and zoom in really hard
-No burn in present
-Never hid any taskbars on wangblows or linux
-Browsing for several hours a day, in fact I'm playing less and less vidya
-Pixel shifting on the lowest setting, so pretty much hard to tell
-No flicker as long as I keep framerates somewhat consistent
-Panel protect every 24h as opposed to 4

I'm looking for a new monitor and honestly it's hard not to just buy an OLED at this point. I was looking at miniLED but it just looks like shit.

Once you see how easily titanium scratches, you'll never wear titanium again. I know it's not the titanium scratching, it's the oxide, but still, same shit. Looks like crap, and you can't have a nice mirror finish to match the dial.

It's true, but it feels so fucking good to wear I accept the scratches and wear it anyway.
After all a steel watch scratches too, even if it's slower. I work with my hand and i keep banging my wrists on things, I scratch steel, i dent sapphire, I even managed to gouge the DLC coating.

Don't care about the watch, it's just a bracelet, care about yourself and how you feel wearing it.

I can't figure out what makes ThinkPad fans work different between Linux and Windows. On Windows 11 my P16s seems to turn them off under no load which is not the case on any distribution I've tested so far. Am I missing a driver or something?
