A feature, not a bug. If you never find it you spend more time trying to find it and therefore see more of what they want you to see.

Extra mistakes in blue states I’m sure.

There will be parents that give a shit about how their kids learn to learn, and there will be others that dgaf, or at least bot enough of one, to keep their kids from just mashing the easy button and using “cheats” like AI. Unfortunately plenty of the latter will get management positions.

You’re asking a lot of an already uncaring system. 10% can do plenty of damage.

I’m sure there’s ways around that. Different cards, PO boxes, email addresses, names. Even if they had only 4 ways of buying that’s still almost 30 buys a week times however many scalpers there are.

Yeah, it would have to be. A normal shit would be ok, but if you had some violent diarrhea you’d have to be on your knees or something, otherwise your ankles are gonna get it in the spatter zone.

Then scalpers would buy them and jack the price up.

How many lines of code have they had to fix thanks to AI?

Terminator said AI would destroy humanity. We just didn‘t know it would be with hoarding of natural and manufactured resources to fuel an idiocracy. No pitched and desperate war for the survival of humanity, just a necrosis eating us alive for the quarterly report.

They‘ll just make it with secret phone-home spying and backdoors.

E: what‘s this? All these folks either saying the US does it or skipping past all the phone-home spyware China includes in devices? Guess that means cheaper spying hardware is ok then?

It’s the shading that matches the ambient lighting. You could physically shade a real thing like this with effort but it would only look right in aligned lighting.

Because printers generally just worked and buying OEM expensive refills was a temporary discomfort that, if it bothered you enough, you could work around by getting third party refills and save some money.

But since they’ve started locking down printers to reject refilled cartridges and third party cartridges it’s come to a head and people are looking for alternatives.

3D and CNC are entirely different animals, for multiple reasons. There were pretty much zero hobbyist devices and the available ones were so far out of reach that nobody could afford them except prototyping labs or manufacturers. The hobbyists did most of the legwork making 3D printers and home CNC work before manufacturers decided it was worth getting into the technology. Nobody needed really needed them like paper printers were needed for everything from school work to everyday business.

I’m surprised they didn’t just lie and call it a drug lord spy balloon.

Pretty much sums up a lot of younger people who didn’t grow up learning far more hands-on basic computer use. Z and A are gonna be the “AI” generation that surrenders the last of critical thought and hands it all to walled gardens of instant, tailored, and curated information.

I like them. Got the whole house set up with it. Yeah, big corp IT gear will have security risks. I used PoE setups to not need to run electrical to the WAPs, used an AirMax directional antenna to get wifi at an outbuilding without needing to run cable or a powerful outdoor WAP for mesh or whatever broadcasting my wifi all over the neighborhood. Works great, stable, a bit fiddly to set up but once it’s set up it’s golden. I recommend buying used off ebay for all gear except the cloud key controller.

Gonna lose a nail loading mags.

Do you have any evidence that industrial manufacturers are sourcing Pi 5’s as controllers of choice? I think most manufacturers would use proprietary or purpose built controllers meeting required durability needs.

That’s the joke, man.

I don’t know what people would need a Pi 5 16gb for other than using it as a low-powered PC alternative. I’ve got a bunch of 4’s and 3’s doing utilitarian tasks, from running an older 3D printer to PiHole. One I’m using as a budget PC in the garage to listen to music and look up how-to videos if I get stumped on something.

A $200+ 5 seems outside the needs of the users who have viewed Pi’s as relatively inexpensive hobbyist devices, but below the needs of people needing to do the work of desktop PCs.

I’m sure there’s niche uses for them, but is there actual demand for them?

A fetish where people stick things up their urethra.
