The cars/trams are also small enough that the wires would be low enough to be a problem. I assume they share the road where trucks are allowed to be a certain height. Also assuming this is mostly in cities, you just can't put overhead wires in all places with low effort.

Well the ones I knew how to reproduce are gone, thanks! I'll use it a bit and see if it still crashes somewhere.

No problem, it's just the version and it confused me a bit.

But in a somewhat unrelated note, the app now seems to crash quite a bit while it didn't before. For example using the icons or buttons to go to a post from the inbox will reliably crash it for me every time.

Since I'm on the APK version, I dunno how to get crash logs to you...

Dunno if that's a real issue, but trying to update via Obtainium just seems to fail. It seemed to update, but I only got v1.64.1, tried manually downloading the asset and same result. Was the version not incremented or an I don't something wrong?

Edit: manually went to the APK GitHub, downloaded via browser, same result.

OPNSense.

Now that Windows qualifies under the prompt, not that I'd pick it but it's just funny that it is.

While I agree with the most valuable users statement, I can't imagine that is how they see it. Or that they even should realistically care from a purely financial standpoint. Most users buy their printers and just use them with whatever software came with them. And most of those didn't even watch or read reviews. Or worse: they did, and possibly heard about the firmware and online thing and just didn't care.

I disagree with your second part though. Voron is only relevant for the complete opposite end of the spectrum. People who are multi-discipline tinkerers (electronics, hardware, ...) and capable and interested in building their own printer. Actual overlap with all Bambu customers is probably sub-1%. The commercial printers that are Voron-adjacent (inspired by or based on the design in some way) still have a different demographic and severely lack in software polish and especially out of the box experience. It isn't remotely close. Even if they innovated over night and made it even with Bambu, there is nothing that would cause that to be actually relevant in the market without millions in marketing. They might be able to gain momentum, but only slowly and I highly doubt they can catch up to Bambu momentum even in years.

It's also the only way they have to act against the change, which might cause enough users to protest, which might (temporarily) get Bambu to back out. Or delay at least. Probably not, but again it's their only option.

If they go along with it, the users that could or would proper will just use Orca until inevitably Bambu also removes that possibility, then everyone is fucked anyway.

What percentage of Bambu users are using Orca? Single digit percentage? Maybe barely double digit? It's probably not gonna change anything in the end. Clearly this has always been their plan.

I always thought their entire product strategy was clearly designed to be an eventually rug pull just like this, which is why I never got one. Other people that care about fully owning and controlling their devices probably didn't either, or that number might be higher.

You seem very confused. Do you think that using a different DNS prevents blocking like the recent France porn block? It doesn't.

Do you know why people use different DNS servers to the ones from their ISP? In some EU countries, in particular Germany, this is actually quite private already because data protection laws prevent the ISP from recording and using/selling the info.

You do understand that these servers aren't run by government (s), right?

Can't remember when it came into effect, but randomized device specific passwords are also mandatory in the EU now. This was relatively recently though. It means every single device (item, not model type or class) has to have an individual password (also usually it's on a sticker or something).

And yes, connecting any ip camera to the Internet is just dumb.

Probably well over two decades ago or so.

That was the last time I owned a car.

Yea we also used to do 500g, but over the years it has just (naturally?) gone down a bit.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

No of course not, but if it's run under proton/wine it doesn't even have access to any normal files. When it's run natively it does (documents and all that). I'm not saying it's doing anything with this, or even that it would make sense.
