FTC investigating Adobe over making it too hard to cancel
  • Should go after anywhere that has perpetual agreements including the ones that try to get around it by the last living clause or 100 years etc. I don’t know a good solution but I’m sure they can put limits and carve outs where needed.

  • storing of filamenter bewteen prints
  • Summer I really make sure they’re in vac bags with indicating desiccant. Winter not so worried. I used to just not care but since getting an X1C with ams I’ve had a number of rolls of pla snap inside and trying to clear that out is annoying. Haven’t really had an issue sense although I have some esun pla+ that is incredibly brittle and will snap just looking at it.

  • I loved Tidal until I hit some arbitrary cap on the number of songs you can dislike. Cancelled after their support had no answer for why theres a limit.

  • Reddit updates look after rough 6 months and ahead of reported IPO
  • A lot of people went back, just as Reddit expected.

  • Valve detail their plans to combat Steam Deck OLED scalpers
  • Hmm kinda like what they did before. It worked. I knew I was going to get one and the community built a spreadsheet tracking estimates dates.

  • Twitter’s decentralized offshoot Bluesky now has 2 million users
  • No because it’s not decentralized. That’s like saying Twitter is decentralized because it’s microservices communicate over https.

  • How has Cities:Skylines II been for you?
  • It’s funny how you can build out a grid and find out it’s all off slightly. They’re doing some rounding somewhere and it gets clearer the further out from the start of a 90 degree you get

  • How has Cities:Skylines II been for you?
  • That overlay has such bad contrast it’s hard to see what’s going on. Big accessibility issue.

  • Why Unity felt the need to “rush out” its controversial install-fee program
  • Really same reason all these companies making dramatic changes. Rips the bandaid off and lets them roll back to what they actually wanted while looking like they listen. Some are executed better than others. See Deltas medallion change for another example.

  • Recycling 3D Prints and Waste Plastic into Filament (PET & PLA) by Dr D Flo
  • It’d be fun to mess around with if it wasn’t 12-18k for the setup.

  • Amazon adds AI-generated review summaries so you don’t have to read the comments
  • More surprised you managed to post a negative review. Every time I do it fails amazons community guidelines check or get removed a few days after.

  • Bambu X1C Purge and Prime
  • It’s a bit overblown IMO. Unless you’re going wild with multi material it’s about the same as any other printer. Sure it purges a little even if you don’t change filament between prints but it’s still such a small amount. I found myself purging a little each time with my Prusa and Enders before too.

    If you’re that worried don’t get an ams for multi color printing. Get an ams to reduce waste for automatic spool runout switching.

  • Apple announces entry-level Apple Pencil with USB-C charging
  • This is actually ewaste. The normal pencils have been on sale fairly often for 99 bucks and the price difference isn’t really enough so all they’re doing is making trash in an attempt to lure people into paying the small amount more for the better version.

  • Apple aware of shutdown issue and preparing a fix
  • This has been an issue for years though. Guessing either they made it worse or people just now noticing.

  • X is testing new paid membership tiers to compensate for poor ad revenue
  • This IS the same guy that kept raising the price of FSD despite not delivering on promises.

  • Spotify Premium Will Include Instant Access to 150,000+ Audiobooks (UK/AUS tomorrow, US to follow)
  • No body was asking for it either. Now they have a reason to raise prices. And they will.

  • Tesla now offers a $43,990 rear-wheel drive Model Y in the US
  • I’d argue you’re not really losing it if you never use it all in the first place. People put too much thought into range when all they’re doing is short trips most of the time.

  • What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on?
  • Honestly don’t know either. Never had this happen before but surprisingly if I’m careful it prints fine if I don’t use the ams. 🤷

  • What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on?
  • I would say the same but I have five rolls of theirs that no matter how long they dry they basically crumble apart, did it right from the bag too. So I dunno what’s up with their QC but that’s pretty bad.

  • Waymo begins testing the waters for a robotaxi service in Los Angeles
  • Must have been test drives then, seen them driving around a bunch for a while now. LA is gonna be a real test of its capabilities for sure!
