Man it’s been a long few days, glad they finally have a fix for it

I think it relies on the server backend, which they’re closing down, to do pretty much anything including TTS

No I definitely like to have the option but not the need to tinker, so I fit in that category. But their printer performance and functionality is just so far below pretty much every competitor out there. I want a reliable printer, that just works unless I want to fiddle with it, but I want it to print both fast and well. The core one seems to print slow and quality that’s just average. I can accept the slow printing if everything else was just 110% spot on, sadly it just isn’t.

I think all the big stadiums actually used for these big matches are privately built and owned?

From the reviews I’ve seen, quality is not really above average despite those slow speeds, they even show some pretty poor overhang capabilities with PLA in several videos I’ve seen.

I would really love the Prusa core one to deliver a product matching their price point, but it just seems to miss the mark by a mile to offer the required functionality and performance to match their price.

I don’t necessarily insist on klipper, but I would like to have the same functionality with whatever printer I end up with.

They mention “custom firmware”, but I can’t find anything online on whether or not their proprietary boards are compatible with klipper, they have no resources on the matter as far as I can tell.

Yeah but their build quality really looks like it’s absolute shit, running some flimsy looking proprietary hotend.

They’re not buying the product, they’re buying the IP. the article literally says that HP doesn’t give a fuck about the product/HW

users will lose access to essentially all of their device’s features, including but not limited to calling, messaging, AI queries and cloud access. The FAQ does note that you’ll still be able to check on your battery life, though.

OK that is just fucking hilarious…People will literally be stuck with a battery monitor which only purpose is to monitor it’s own battery.

I know, right!?

AFAIK only on a fairly small amount of animals and with limited accuracy/consistency

I got one a few years ago (Europe), but you just throw them out, they’re meaningless threats without action behind and to my knowledge no one has been convicted based on one ever in my country. But if you torrent copyrighted material without a VPN here, you’ll definitely be getting them.

The french haven’t put anyone in guillotines for more than 200 years (not counting prison death sentences), accrediting this behaviour to the current French population is quite the stretch.

Of course some are able to, but in my work (automation and manufacturing) I apparently don’t meet them. I’ve not met a single French person that didn’t have a crazy thick accent (and definitely not used to get laid when talking to me, during work), and many that didn’t speak any English at all though this was mostly unskilled manufacturing employees.

A few months ago, unless the have higher education levels (university), they have the thickest accents (like bond-villain bad) and somewhat limited vocabulary. At least from my experience over the past 10 years or so that is.

France along with especially Germany and Italy are stuck in the past clinging to this dubbing-tradition, and it’s giving them a disadvantage. The negative impact of this can easily be seen still on the young(er) generations (<30yo), they have a poor English speaking level compared to many other European countries.

Aah, I didn’t know, but I also didn’t say it was open source… it’s store and format agnostic, which Kobo definitely is not.

Check out boox for a properly open(-ish) platform, it’s android based.
