I broke down and googled it and it’s a reusable menstrual cup, so I think my guess was the closest.

Depends on how far you throw it.

That doesn’t really answer the question and also introduces issues with situations like Bambu’s Creator’s Program (or whatever it’s called) where you can pay the model creator for the rights to sell the item. I don’t see why they need to target 3D prints specifically when Etsy is absolutely chock full of similar duplicates in other mediums. They’re just going to drive people away to a new site, which is fine I suppose, but seems incredibly short sighted.

Like a Frisbee?

I went through the exact same situation with my 20 year old music collection and MusicBrainz Picard and unfortunately this is just the state of music piracy even now as things are rarely tagged correctly or come from compilation albums, sample albums, or are just obscure and don’t have the proper tags available on the service. This is why I don’t mind paying for music streaming even though I selfhost most other media formats because you can put in days of work tagging songs and still have a jumbled mess at the end (Picard’s tagging template is also a huge PITA to use with some obscure legacy language).

How do you prove you’re the creator of a model without directly handing your IP over to this company?

there’s a psychological war going on and this is exactly how the war is played out

This is literally the tag line for InfoWars, except their followers don’t realize Alex Jones is openly admitting that he’s manipulating them with this statement in a fight against some make believe boogeyman.

Probably not much of a difference. These mini PCs can run at single digit wattage too and you won’t be buying new SD cards every 6 months.

The market is about to be flooded with them with Windows 10 going EoL in October.

I bet you could instead use an ESP32 for GPIO and just connect it remotely to whatever Pi alternative you use (if needed at all). Turning some switches on and off while monitoring input values doesn’t sound very computationally intensive.

I think this really depends on the model they’re eyeballing because the Pi5 is frankly ridiculous for the price and has absurd power requirements (5V5A USB?). I wouldn’t recommend one of these unless you have a specific need like a certain hat or the GPIO pins. You can get a Dell micro Optiplex for less money and have a full fledged i5 or i7 processor with similar power usage.

Plus the RPi Foundation exposed themselves as the greedy bastards they are during COVID which is yet another reason to turn your back on them.

For something like a Pi Zero, maybe go for it, but there are similar devices out there from other companies too.

I think Gene Hackman gave up acting because of the dementia. He acted til he was nearly 75 years old.

Even as far back as Fire Marshall Bill?

I have a 49 year old truck that was abused for much of its life and none of the gaskets or seals were this bad to replace either.

He announced this on the day of his birthday military parade? That doesn’t seem well timed.

I know, right? The solution is out there.

Looks like he’s 75% hacked into the mainframe.

Does anyone know what this means for covid and flu shots in the fall since these groups are the ones who determine which strains to target with the shot each year? Will we just not have flu shots anymore or are they just going to be worthless?

I wonder if he has CTE since his behavior has been on a sharp decline over the last several years.

Good luck. The government has pretty consistently ruled that the government is immune from liability in situations like this.
