  Ah yes, I think that was when a FOSS maintainer had to step down and handed it off to someone else if I remember right? See this XKCD for relevance. It’s pretty ridiculous how much we (and companies with billion dollar revenues) rely on the free work of others for such important systems. But yes, an important distinction to make is that certain Linux distributions may use code by others that is not open source and malicious without them realizing.

  I mean, but we pretty much do know? The difference between Linux and Windows / MacOS is Linux is open source and can be checked and audited by anyone. If an exploit exists, it will be visible publicly and just needs to be spotted by those knowledgeable enough. Windows and MacOS are more than likely audited too but by private companies under NDA, so then it’s left up to Microsoft or Apple to decide what exploits are fixed.

  I don’t know if I would call it lying per-se, but yes I have seen instances of AI’s being told not to use a specific tool and them using them anyways, Neuro-sama comes to mind. I think in those cases it is mostly the front end agreeing not to lie (as that is what it determines the operator would want to hear) but having no means to actually control the other functions going on.

  Amphenol connectors. Used a ton in industry, military and aerospace. They are actually really nice when you get down to it, but you need expensive tools and the connectors themselves are usually quite expensive. I once had a client ask for a specific 6 pin one, only about the size of my thumb, it was $800.

  Yup, heard about it a week or two ago. Found it installed on my Samsung phone, it never asked for permissions or gave any info that it was added to my phone.

  Hi, not gay but bi and I spend a lot of time in LGBTQ spaces. I personally have not heard of this meaning anything specific. Chances are that it’s just a quirky / goofy expression that they like. I have a few friends who are not gay where every photo has a similar expression, it’s just something some people do I guess 🤷

  Has it always done this or is this a new issue? I agree with what someone else said, I think this is likely a bed leveling issue. The P1S uses pressure sensing using it’s nozzle for bed leveling. If the screws holding the hotend in place aren’t tight enough, it might be giving you poor readouts. This could happen after a nozzle swap if you’ve done one before. Same if the print head itself has a lot of play in it for some reason, it would throw off the results.

  It’s just the chassis, screen, battery, and keyboard. You would just buy one of their boards separately to go in it, or make one yourself I suppose.

  Ah the Trevor Jacob approach to aviation.

  It’s CFIT, controlled flight into terrain.
