Prusa was better positioned than anyone else in the market to do exactly what Bambu did, but actively chose not to out of a combination of stubborness and hubris. Prusa had an established reputation for relatively low hassle, premium machin

Because it's a non-sequitur. Unregistered machine guns are illegal to possess regardless of how they were made. 3D printing an otherwise legal firearm is not illegal at the Federal level in the United States. The exchange boils down to

I could see potential value in the semi-embedded device space. 3D printers are an area where I've been kind of expecting Rust to eventually take hold. Printers require fairly performant systems level firmware but the trend is toward us

Yeah, the downside of them is that they're widely cloned by various manufacturers, so it can be tough to know exactly what you're going to get. Mine seems fine too, but it's a good call out to check.

There's also an open-source firmware for STM32 based soldering irons like the T12 soldering stations that are pretty commonly cloned. https://github.com/deividAlfa/stm32_soldering_iron_controlle... I've had o

Additionally, the firmware is going to be handling temperature control, in this case with a PID loop. This results in more consistent and precise temperature at the iron tip whether you're working with a small component or a larger one

Literally anything that isn't sitting in a car burning fuel if the same work can be accomplished without that use of time and resources. Commuting is an externalized cost that gets absorbed by workers, city infrastructure, and the en

That was because the base model of those vehicles didn't have an immobilizer like every other car on the market as a cost cutting measure. They also have ignition switches that are relatively trivial to bypass. It's possible that

Didn't realize they'd added it back to the Quest series. It was a mistake in the first place on the Rift S, good that they reversed course. I honestly haven't paid super close attention to their hardware since the Rift S was

I wasn't commenting on Apple as a whole; I'm actually not a huge fan of the company overall under Cook's leadership. But supply chain management? They excel at that which doesn't surprise me given who the CEO is.
