With the thrilling sequel, no consequences for false marketing

Right I’m an idiot, it should have stuck out to me that I was dividing by time twice.

200Wh average per month, or 0.27Wh.

Is my math wrong or is that absolute garbage? A desktop solar panel could compete

And a bunch of photoscans (megascans®?) than epic was really pushing at the time.

Honestly the game was more of a tech demo, and I hope they create some actual gameplay for the release, but yeah its not great when your game could be made in roblox in a week.

Thats really cool.

Is there any reason you chose grafana over home assistant?

I’m just setting uo a similar system myself, but I never even had the idea to use grafana for it

I don’t think I’ve printed anything this crisp in my decade of printing.

That being said my parts are mostly structural so crispness doesn’t matter, but I’m still jealous.

What an odd thing to say

Do you know if thats just for medium to large machines?

Kinda my dream to get some smaller ones to build a small printer/CNC farm

Some epoxy nozzles do a pretty good job of mixing, I could see a brass or stainless nozzle like that working

Not killing customers is also technically a limitation on companies, doesn’t inheritly mean it stops them from maximising profit.

Hell the reason companies don’t kill and do dei are the same reason, public perception (and also why there’s not a sneeze of either of those in poor countries)

But also… genuinely you thought I meant they like physically tear the logo off the back of every customers laptop and replaced it, only for a month, every single year?

Cause you know what fuck it, you’re right I do believe this 100% - you’re telling me Tim apple doesn’t visit you yearly??? man you gotta get your money back

I could be from alpha centuri for all it matters, storing your data in an american companies servers is still subject to american laws, that was kinda the whole point of the cloud act.

A European company on the other hand isn’t subject to such laws, and is why many tech companies open up in France/Switzerland, they have laws to protect their citizens privacy instead of outlaw it.

I got an even better question for you: Is that relevant here?

Cause I don’t think it is at all, but to answer anyways I think DEI is a valuable tool to assist picking the best person for a job, independent of race - as there is a racist bias in many hiring positions. I don’t think its perfect, but honestly I don’t think anything in US is.

And I think apple cares about DEI cause their marketing team said it makes money. Full stop.

People love when their obsession might align with their morals, but its important to remember if 2028 goes Republican in US they probably won’t even do a logo change that pride month, cause all rainbow capitalism ever is is marketing.

Damn, I forgot we all live in America - and so do all tech companies in the globe

Not security patches no, debain is quite up to date on these. (would be a kinda awful choice to run the internet otherwise, unpatched security updates are essentially free login credentials to the whole WAN)

New features they tend to be behind on though, in case they introduce any new vulnerabilities.

Google’s just using linux for its price, but the GPL of AOSP does a lot of heavy lifting for reverse engineering efforts like this.

They’re still a public company, and Im sure the heat is on their C suite cause they haven’t had any successful hardware releases since the M series processor was first released.

Not selling “anonymous” data would look to shareholders as thrown away profit, which they’re even able to sue for.

So I’d be insanely surprised if they weren’t surveiling their users - but unlike google and all, they own their entire closed-source software and hardware empire, so the likelihood of catching them is also valuably low.

Are apple TVs not phoning home?

If anything I’d imagine they’re one of the hardest companies to block, considering most apple users have a thousand idevices that could smuggle messages, even with all communications turned off.

Its almost like they bought the companies to kill competition, and the only ones shouldering the loss are the lowest paid workers.

That’s really cool.

I wonder if the design is open, its out of my price range but it looks like it’d be pretty fun to build.

What’s MMU mean in this context again?
