No. First you always say “it’s so easy to build a PC, you’re dumb to get a console for gaming”. Pay attention to always say this, even in unrelated circumstances

Then, after years of saying that “it’s so easy”, when your friend finally says “I finally want to build a PC, can you help me?”, you drop this bomb

Resisting? It was a clear strategy: use VC money to give away something for free then charge/monetize to give back those investors all the money, with interests

There was a meme about a landlord complaining on Facebook that nobody tipped them

I noticed that that “high speed resin” was sold out even if they were still bundling it with new printers

Then I realized that the profile for that resin in their own official slicer had half the vertical resolution and half the exposure time. It’s something broken that they created just for allowing the marketing to say “the fastest printer on the market, full prints in 2 hours instead of 8”. Even the demo file that was given with the resin had layer delamination when printed, and that’s the best use case, an empty cylinder that needs no support and has a constant wall thickness all around

It was the resin. Once I bought a resin from another brand, it printed perfectly

It really puzzles me why they would bundle 2 kg of low quality “high speed” resin that isn’t even able to correctly print the test files…

During dating: “and then i spent $300k to buy this monkey jpg…”

I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that “blur” is crashing the price of that jpg

It looks like that there’s a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there’s dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.

What a waste of compute energy

But it also come with extra privileges like going to exclusive parties where powerful UV lights can cause eye damage

I’m kinda hoping it was just that a state sponsored attacker showed up on their door and said “include this snippet or else…” otherwise it’s terrifying thinking of someone planning some long con like this

We are all relying on the honesty of a few overworked volunteers…

From that post, commits set to UTC+0800 and activity between UTC 12-17 indicate that the programmer wasn’t operating from California but from another country starting with C. The name is also another hint.

Unrelated, I really like the idea that the author of that blog post to place the favicon near each link

the slicer said the model needed a repair (which it did), but then it also does this with other stuff. Later I try with a profile with more exposure time

first print with the printer and first print with resin in my life

The manual didn’t mention the exposure calibration at all…

visual inspection of test exposure is ok, and then the vat is brand new so the sheet was immaculate

TIL that my country has bended over the copyright trolls and blocked Archive.is, need a VPN to view…

From the website:

With Midori Browser you can browse the web with complete confidence and an advanced tracking blocker.

Then the next paragraph states:

Cryptotoken: To reward our users, we are organizing an initiative a Token to give users to use our products and services without tracking.

So it blocks tracking but adds more tracking, so users can buy some shitcoin to remove the tracking?

I’m glad that their forks of simple mobile tools didn’t gain traction, then

I’m disappointed, I expected a meme instead it’s spam 😢😢😢😢😭😭

It’s available on an unofficial repository that can be optionally added to fdroid, it’s not available on fdroid

On mobile you’re forced to use their “open source” app that is only available on the closed source app stores and not on fdroid because it uses Google push services

This post is ironic, but the united states by showing their muscles and forbidding Huawei to use newer arm CPU designs or x86 chips without a specific export license, let the Chinese government to create a secret multibillion fund for RISC -V development
