Flatfire

Well this is... disappointing. I picked up an A1 at the end of last year because it "just works", and I was tired of fighting my Ender 3 instead of actually printing with it. I'm extraordinarily happy with the quality of the printer itself, but I'll be refraining from updating the firmware I guess, as I don't allow it to use cloud services, and it lives on my LAN as the only means of management.

Except we do. Canada's military isn't large, but it's quite modern. We've been a significant part of training Ukraininian forces on how to use NATO equipment. I think you're a bit confused.

And while I don't agree with our participation, Canada hasn't been a peacekeeping corp in a long time either, having been a player in the war in Afghanistan and Syria. We've pretty consistently assisted American troops in these areas. Canada is a member of NATO, and a developer of arms and munitions as part of the indistrial military complex. We aren't reliant on an island across the ocean for our own protection.

Lol, how long ago was that? Kids these days talk just as much, just not via a phone call. Discord is just how it happens. I figure if you put it into the context of a cellular data plan it might work out better, but even then a lot of those are "unlimited" now

Can confirm there's also no such setting on a Pixel running "stock" Android. Inclined to believe this is a feature specific to (potentially) something like Samsung's OneUI. Doesn't appear for most people that there's an easy way to disable it.

Personally, I like it better than the one that used to appear next to the task switcher, but I can understand the annoyance.

The GPU notwithstanding, there's actually a pile of scientific usecases that this kind of power and portability would be very useful for. The dual network ports also provide a nice means of connecting to lab equipment that primarily communicates over ethernet, while still maintaining an easy way to have a reliable connection to a network.

It's almost definitely not targeted at this use-case, but I could certainly see it being looked at for it.

Definitely a valid thing to have. Imo, as long as it provides value to you creatively or intellectually, then it's a worthwhile hobby. It sounds like you are using it as well, so that's just a bonus really.

I'm halfway into that mindset, but got myself a bambu after fighting an Ender 3 for so long and for now at least I'm content to just have a working printer instead of a half assembled one 80% of the time. So many calibration cubes.

I had no idea there was a new Lion King movie in that awful hyperrealistic cg format. Why? Disney could straight up just put the original film back in theatres and make more money.

It also doesn't mean anything. It's not even slang, it's just a meme reference.

No, but Best Buy does. As does Canada Computers, Shoppers Drug Mart, Gamestop, etc. none of which are as bizzarely aggressive about nonsensical pricing schemes.

The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the "cost" of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign.. Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There's no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.

Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding

The problem is they didn't initiate the DMCA process at all, nor did the report submitted have anything to do with Copyright Infringement. They submitted a fraud/phishing report, as if the domain itself was serving or facilitating malicious content harmful to someone who visits it.. So forget the DMCA process, this was straight up just corner cutting on the part of the firm representing Funko that misrepresented the nature of the situation as a whole.
