    O just love that true one single product bthat allows you to replicate itself in an open non spy way now must have spyware.

    Politicians are idiots

    Jokes on you, my printers are 100% opensource and I program them with the code I want.

    That Washington state, not DC.

    Surveillance capitalism and the fascists always find a way to debase everything good that people like.

    They haven’t stopped at printers, they have everything now constructed to spy. Even a lot of things that have no legitimate purpose being connected to the internet. Soon we will not be able to find the non “smart” devices. We can’t take batteries out of electronics that can spy on us anymore. It’s a federal felony now to alter the programming on an electronic you bought as well.

    Heeeeeyyyyyy. I have a k1c with cfs, is there open source support? I’m dumb, I like the printer, and the cfs is alright. Not thrilled about the opaque software and definitely not thrilled with ‘cloud intrgration’

      I have a Prusa XL, and the reason is, Prusa is (still) mostly open-source. And quite frankly it’s the only reason why I stick with Prusa, because technically they’re behind the curve.

        Same. Still like their support and community too. It’s not so far behind that I feel like it’s a compromise to the point where I can get it to do everything I want it to do. I’m paying for my open source preference and the support / community instead of the most modern fancy features. I want both, but I’d still choose the former especially when the latter seems to involve more and more privacy infringement.

        I don’t get why they insist on sticking to their own somewhat inferior software platform when a good, 100% open source, and better performing alternative exists with klipper.

    Am I understanding this bill wrong? (Not English native)

    This is bill is about blocking ability to print firearms related stuff and not about spying customers?

    source
    • eRac@lemmings.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      How do you block firearm parts at the printer level without analyzing and judging the files a user provides?

      Even if this was possible (it’s not), most printers don’t have the kind of processing power needed to reverse slicing back into the solid object so that it can be compared with banned parts. They’d either have to put in much larger computers and spike the cost per unit or do it server-side and be always-online.

        This is exactly correct. Its like these people are not giving it one thought.

        There are two bills one says to not sell to criminals and to not allow them to operate the machines…hmm okay…

        Hey, I’m selling my Bridgeport!

        Hey I want to buy it!

        Are you a Felon?

        No

        Prove it, please fill out this application form so we can send it off to the government for review.

        No thanks!

        Wait so are you a Felon or just because its stupid and intrusive?

        Stupid and intrusive!

        Okay thanks!

        Hold on, my raspberry pi just got done comparing the model to one of a million different barrels. This will take a while…

        Ten years later…

        The new raspberry pi 34 can do 3 comparisons per day! And on just 10mW! Wow!

        I totally agree with you, like always politician have an idea but don’t even state how to realise it… So possibly this will actually never happen.

        One thing that come to my mind is that manufacturer could maybe use some kind of hash database of firearms related files. While printer are not very powerful, that’s something that could be done on slicer but that would mean the death of open source software (at least in USA) as to implement this every manufacturer would need to force customer using their slicer. Also, wondering how much power demanding it is for printer to recreate solid object, could they just read gcode to analyse object? and since guns are not 25cmx25cm square, it’s not like this would take ages to analyse.
