Knowing how to use your e.g. amp and different effects is as much an artistic skill as being able to play. Knowing how to select the color palette is as much a skill as doing the painting itself. What you’re describing is no different than me (with zero painting/drawing skills being able to get a great detailed idea for a visual design and just using AI to get it in to existence.
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 1 day ago:
Plus “clunky” bifocals have way fewer moving parts and can be made with thin wire frames so they’re lighter.
As someone with clunky bifocals, the weight of the frame (even the chunky ones) is absolutely unnoticeable compared to the weight of the lenses. You don’t get thin wireframes for the lower weight, you get it because they’re less noticeable.

consumer freezers are a bit too leathal for yeast.
Is the frost-free freezer that are bad due to the freeze-thaw cycles that keeps the frost-free.

I’ve heard of locking/freezing accounts, but the only case where a person got identified was because the user used their apple ID mail and got identified that way from the information handed over.

I’m not sure I understand why a large multinational company having multiple studios is a special level of “fuck you” to employees?

Just drop it (both of you)…at this point you’re just a sea lion and a troll exchanging messages.

Ingogni is super suspicious and I don’t believe what they claim to do is even possible. But to me it’s what they claim to do that makes them suspicious, and that’s and entirely different thing than what proton does, and at least proton has documented audits to back up their privacy claims. INB4 the links to articles talking about proton complying with law enforcement requests, every company does that, even respected ones like mullvad. It’s not important that they hand over information they’re legally required to, it’s important that they save as little as possible so they can hand over everything without identifying you.
And also, any privacy conscious service is never better than your own opsec, so if you get caught becays6your recovery email was your apple ID, that’s on you and not them.

Pretty freaking cool work.
I don’t like coca cola nearly enough to actually make this though.

- Comment on This EV Was Already Cheap, Then Dacia Knocked Off Nearly $6,000 6 days ago:
I mean, that’s pretty on par for other manufacturers, rule of thumb is about half of rated range during winter. It’s not really the manufactures fault that part, the WLTP standard they have to use is just using a way too high percentage of steady-speed city driving to give a good idea of real-world usage for most people.
- Comment on This EV Was Already Cheap, Then Dacia Knocked Off Nearly $6,000 6 days ago:
It’s a really low price, but it’s also an incredibly shitty car with terrible safety scores.

- Comment on Is this nozzle too low or bed temperature issue? 6 days ago:
Just get it in the ballpark and microstep it during printing to fine tune and then save that value.
- Comment on Is this nozzle too low or bed temperature issue? 6 days ago:
Looks like you’re still way too close to the bed, I’d (numerically) increase Z-offset so you have more distance between the nozzle and the bed

Hos are you able to obtain certification with aliexpress suppliers? They generally can’t provide proper (trustworthy) documentation that they comply with standards, so your certification chain is broken.
- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 1 week ago:
Literally no one does it like that…no one. You place an order for something that’s backordered, they also don’t charge you until it’s shipped, and you won’t get notified beforehand either.

Aha, well it’s a very ambiguous phrasing that is used.

all the Vista bloat that had started with Windows 7
The fuck?? Vista predates Win7, that sentence makes no sense
- Comment on [Help] Improving HDD storage setup for personal server 1 week ago:
You’re using redundancy and backup synonymously, but they’re not. Raid 1+ absolutely provides redundancy, you are 100% wrong in saying that it doesn’t, because it provides a failover system that prevents operational interruption if a drive fails.

- Comment on Linux Slicer 1 week ago:
I have an AnyCubic printer and have to use their derivative of Orca.
What printer is that? I also have an anycubic printer, and before I flashed it with klipper it worked just fine with regular plain orca slicer.
- Comment on Linux Slicer 1 week ago:
I’ve been using orcaon Linux mint for the past two years without any issues. I used prusa slicer before, but I much prefer how settings are managed in orca. Prusa slicer feels like they stopped giving a shit 20 years ago, it feels so horrifyingly ancient to use.
- Comment on Question: To replace or attempt fix 2 weeks ago:
No printer has an accelerometer.
Of they do, mine has one from the manufacturer (Qidi Xmax3) and I added one to my old bedalifer from any cubic. It is extremely common today that even printers come with accelerometers built in to the toolhead board. Basically any consumer coreXY printer on the market today has this.
- Comment on The mObywatel's user interface source code has been published 2 weeks ago:
Because replicating UI design is of course the hardest thing about phishing attacks, making them virtually impossible without the source code…god damn that is such a bullshit reason.
- Comment on Question: To replace or attempt fix 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, and neither of those are an accelerometer like the other user claimed is required

China is the only country that prosecutes wealthy criminals.
Unfortunately they also lockup anyone they just kind of don’t like for any arbitrary reason.
