The Liberator is a completely 3D printed single-shot pistol that can shoot 9mm.
The Washbearis a completely 3D printed revolver.
3D printed ammo is currently in development.
They aren’t very practical, but can likely go through metal detectors.

Neither will 99% of 3D printed guns. Most 3D printed guns use metal parts, and ammo will likely be detected as well. Only single shot, entirely 3D printed guns with plastic ammo has any chance.

It doesn’t, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.
Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn’t either.

I only use wired headphones. I don’t like earbuds, and Bluetooth headphones are too bulky and need charging.

So? I know they get hot, that’s what 200-300W means. But when you said “there isn’t a single laptop in the windows world that can match anything apple does”, you were wrong. Laptops with GPUs still win in performance.
Stop moving the goalposts.
- Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple 7 months ago:
Any laptop with a recent GPU will beat an Apple Laptop for performance. Some higher end CPUs too. Apple has really good power efficiency, which is great when unpluged, but plugged in laptops with 200 to 300W TDPs are still better.

A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn’t lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don’t care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.

A lot of social media companies aren’t profitable, but they didn’t care because of cheap loans and lots of investors. Now that loans are more ecpensive and investors want AI, social media companies are realizing, “We need to make money, or investors will hate us”, and are locking things down. Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Tumblr are some of the examples we see. All trying to push subscriptions or block adblockers.

2010-2012 will work as well if no tech package. My 2010 Lexus RX350 has no touchscreen, but still has knobs and a backup camera on the back mirror. It’s wonderful.
