I've heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever
I miss newsvine
And frankly, there's not really too much I want to do that the x1c can't presently do, so there's minimal need to go buy a big new expensive printer, or build one
Yeah I'm keeping eyes on the voron.
My next printer must have the following, else it's not much of an upgrade
- Multiple extruders or changeable tool heads
- 500mm^3 print volume
- Actively heated enclosure
- Lidar and auto tramming
- Ams like thing
- Full opensource
- Core xy. Not interested in a bed slinger
Apparently the h2d is crippled if you use offline mode. No cutter or laser support
This is what I was always afraid of. With the x1c they didn't really take away any hardware features if you put it offline and so the trade-off was acceptable. But locking you out of the physical hardware that you've purchased is a whole new story. Kind of like the dishwashers that require an app to do a rinse cycle.
For what the h2d costs you can get an awful lot of printer from a different brand
Fwiw the open source scene literally got started because of a printer
It's giving me serious pause when looking at things like the new Bambu printer
I really like my x1c, but I haven't upgraded it's firmware yet, and probably never will, because the local features are just too good. I know I can replace a lot of the bambu cloud features with octoanywhere, but I shouldn't have to
MacOS has had caffeinate forever, and it works great
I've been using one for years. It gets some use. Not a ton, but some. Most common use is as media keys or as the modifiers. Oh and escape in vim
Did they perhaps confuse Tesla solar installs with the cars?
Wonder how many things they shit up
I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick
Course sometimes we'd stay in an Airbnb, and they'd have a Roku or Apple TV, where we'd just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that's beyond the point
