In the contexts where you need to prove an image is a real unaltered photograph (court cases, news media, science, etc) privacy is usually not a concern. Nobody cares if your social media photos are edited, they probably are, it's fi

Hey could you put these powered computer speakers away for me? :)

As if the government does not control your license to drive today... They'll never stop me from riding my bike at least.

If freedom is being shackled to an expensive appliance by a yearslong loan and autonomy is being trapped at home if it breaks or you lose the ability to operate it... I'll pass on both. Using my phone to make a car show up when I need

I'm happy to make the claim this is terrible policy that literally kills people. Every dollar spent on this should go toward transit funding instead.

> rideshare drivers are involved in fewer serious accidents than the average person. Do you have evidence of this? It's certainly true for some kinds of professional drivers (i.e. truck and bus drivers) but I can't find any kin

> do LLMs change the calculus for DRY? Yes it makes it insanely easy to refactor duplicated logic into shared and tested modules. Why would you go the other way?

Google Photos is a great value proposition, but it's still only 1 copy in 1 medium. If you count your phone as another copy/medium you still need a 3rd copy somewhere if you want to follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy. > not acces

I made the switch from photoprism to immich a couple years ago and the app is far better. Sad to hear it hasn't improved in the mean time.

The cardboard isn't the problem, the plastic is. Looking at energy use of packaging alone is myopic as other comments in this thread have already pointed out. I can go to a bulk store like re_grocery with my own reusable airtight conta

Your monitor refreshes a bit faster than my motorcycle. '09 Yamaha FZ6 14k redline, 240hz would be about 14,400 rpm.

Just let me buy things without forcing me to buy so much trash too. Every grocery store item is over-packaged.

It takes a rare multi-talented person to do this though. First you have to attain mastery of the craft itself, then you have to master (or at least be competent in) the art of communicating it to others. Some mechanics are just good mechani

That's missing the point. There were official native MacOS builds and now there aren't. Can't be too mad about it though, it was free back then too.

Do you never have agents working on multiple tasks in parallel? You'll become much more productive when you figure out how to stop micromanaging.

I have never had any interest in using Bambu's cloud. It works in LAN mode with none of this rigamarole. If you want to feed all your print activity to Bambu's servers anyway, why bother using an open source plugin in the first pl

by hamdingers 21d ago
It's the networking plugin that talks to the printer over the network (while exporting gobs of telemetry to Bambu's servers). Without the networking plugin you cannot monitor your printer or send prints to it remotely. You can cop

Probably this one: https://github.com/greghesp/ha-bambulab It's excellent for monitoring and setting up automations around printer events, I use it all the time too.

by hamdingers 21d ago
I only sent one test print through Bambu so I can't make a comparison, but it's <10s from clicking print to the printer starting its warmup dance. Speed is not why I set my printer up this way though. I live in a state that may

For current owners who want to avoid Bambu's servers entirely, consider LAN mode with OrcaSlicer and this open source reverse engineered networking plugin: https://github.com/ClusterM/open-bamboo-networking I have

Yes they do, but is it enough? Given a fixed per-gallon gas tax, if you assume a 3000lb, 2 axle vehicle that gets 30mpg is paying enough road tax to cover its usage, then an 80,000lb, 5 axle vehicle would need to consume 320 gallons per mi

I don't see how. Regardless of how you feel about the lawfulness of the overall situation, Tunick gave an agent false information which resulted in the phone being wiped. That's intent. This requires no action whatsoever from the

When I've gotten secondary screening the first thing they do is take all my belongings and rifle through them on a table. That seems to be standard practice and I'm sure it was step 1 in Tunick's ordeal. Both approaches have

I was imagining only the BLE beacon living in one of those little faraday pouches people put their key fobs in. They should be pretty much transparent passing through the x-ray and a pouch with an airtag in it wouldn't raise any suspic

Or keep it in a faraday bag and have the phone wipe if it sees it. If you're ever searched (or otherwise indisposed), they'll open the bag and wipe your phone for you.

Ah yeah, mine takes a while to connect to wifi too. I assumed that was just how it was, luckily I do it rarely. I got the BW over the Color only because I had read the color screen wasn't as sharp, though I've never compared them

What does the two-core CPU get you? I'm very satisfied with my BW with KOReader, haven't noticed any shortcomings but I only read books on it.

So because you use them to stealthily film your 2 year old, there's no way other people use them to stealthy film other people in less acceptable ways? This confirms it, you're being deliberately obtuse.
