I’m not sure where these numbers are from, but my guess is that you mean the Observable Universe, which is just the part of the universe that we can see.

We don’t know how big the full universe is, it could be infinite with an infinite number of stars.

I went from a Creality printer to a Prusa Mk4s on the last black friday sale. What sold me was that as they make new machines, you can just buy a kit to upgrade to the next version, instead of needing to buy a whole new printer. They’re also based in the EU, so even if they wanted to, they couldn’t do anything too bad in regards to privacy.

Doesn’t matter tho, cause I won’t turn on the cloud printing stuff, since I don’t see any benefit. Everything can be done exactly the same way without requiring external services.

Just sounds like they’re saying the “slippery slope” is false, but everything else stated was true.

3d party accessories are being disabled, and you can only use network connectivity if you connect to the cloud. They’ll have a solution for using Orca Slicer, but it still needs to phone home to work.

Glad I stayed away from Bambu and went with a printer that doesn’t need anything outside my network to use all the features I paid for.

I’m wondering if it’s MORE private than Mullvad, cause the billing is separated from the servers. Probably just wishful thinking though.

Have you spoken to the business? Maybe they can offer a solution that you’re not aware of.

Maybe you can get a group text going with other patrons who will text the group about it? Maybe you can set up an RSS feed from their instagram account?

I don’t HAVE to play the game. If they don’t price it in a way that I’ll buy it, then I just won’t buy it.

I’ve never bought a lot of games, heck I don’t buy MOST games. I buy games that I’m interested in, when they’re priced in a way that seems reasonable to me. There’s plenty of companies (and individuals) out there who are selling me what I want, for the price I would pay for them.

I’m kinda surprised there haven’t been hands on reviews yet. I’m also kinda glad cause it means they aren’t sending out special review units to everyone just to get good stories out.

I’ll put it on my steam wishlist and buy it when it’s $20 or less.

I’m still waiting for Elden Ring and BG3, there’s plenty of games to be played, I don’t need to get it day one.

I also get the advantage of not buying a buggy game that’s half finished. It’ll be cheaper and better if I wait, often with a bunch of the extra paid DLC included.

Take a look at Hyundai. They have a similar range and comfort packages, and even use the Tesla chargers now.

It’s probably what my car will be.

Seems like a cool project, but he’s right, there’s not enough tech that supports this form factor.

Maybe I’ll integrate some rack space into my next remodel project.

It’s 100% optional. I use prusalink, which is a web server local to the printer, and it also connects to home assistant to get me phone notifications when prints are done.

I get that it’s not for everyone, but I use home assistant and prusalink to do everything the cloud prusa connect does.

It doesn’t leave my network, it’s connected to physical Ethernet instead of WiFi, and I have zero outside connectivity requirements.

The only drawback is that I have one extra step instead of sending directly within prusa slicer.

Honestly, it’s been a better overall experience than using the cloud service, cause it doesn’t need to send any data over the Internet, just to download it back down to the printer.

Every 12 hours, the richest person in the world turns inside out. Just one, every 12 hours. The only way to stop it is if capitalism ends and people no longer hoard wealth.

I went the Local RSS Reader -> Google Reader -> Feedly -> Self-hosted FreshRSS myself. Kinda went full circle on this.

The content creators should be shouting about RSS from the rooftops. The only people that lose out are social networks, and startups. It would be more difficult for a new person to get a foothold, but at least we decide what we want to read on our own.

Some context for those of you who are confused as to why this picture is impressive.

https://www.universetoday.com/170146/astronaut-don-pettit-is-serious-he-rigged-up-astrophotography-gear-on-the-iss/

The ISS rotates around the earth every 90 minutes, so before Don Pettit brought a custom built astrophotography rig up there this picture would have been impossible to take.

It’s weird that Eric Burger neglected to put this picture into perspective for people who aren’t 100% up to date on their space news.

Sure, but that just pushes back the timeline some. Even with immortality, invulnerability, and teleportation, you’re still going to live forever floating in the void of space. There just isn’t going to be anywhere to teleport TO after a few trillion years.

Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.

It’s inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you’ll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.

In a billion years, you’ll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.

In a few trillion years you’ll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.

Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you’ll eventually end up suffering forever (what’s a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)

It’s not the pay that’s driving them away, it’s the understaffing.

The pay (most places) is fine, if they just added 30% more staff. The fact that they need to work 12 hour shifts with zero breaks, and the only time they can sit is when they need to get on a computer to file paperwork is awful.

They have plenty of money to hire admins and CEOs, but no money to properly staff the nurses, techs, and doctors.

Hire enough nurses to COMFORTABLY work the shifts, then you won’t have them quitting constantly, then you won’t have understanding.

That’s good to know, I guess I’ll give it a try again.
