I wish. Actually I've seen some bitching turning the drop in democratic votes as "clear evidence" of 2020 cheating. That and conspiracy theories because Biden has been incredibly sharper after the debate (as in it was a conspiracy to take him out). It's hard to fight to not live in a bubble but holy crap the trumpettes and russian bots are very annoying.

Except that if they pull this off, guess who also will be able to run? Obama.

Pretty sure I saw a tshirt with "f* biden" (whole thing, none of the brandon bs) front and on the back "f* your feelings".

The moment the article says that a malicious UPS firmware could gain root access in the machine I stopped reading, not that my expectations were higher than a razor blade.

Doesn't apply to me: only coarse sea salt as seasoning

It'd be a good idea to post it to one of the websites that host 3d printing models (thingiverse, printables and so on) with a license so more people will have access to it. Good model and now I want one of these just because :)

Unfortunately there is a risk. What you read mostly is about LLMs, but the rapid evolution in hardware and research also benefits other neural networks applications. The government and military are as worried as when the atomic weapons begun to be developed: they don't want to fall behind so the global military scales won't be tipped against you. Along with everything else, China is autocratic which makes them more agile in big changes: see if there's any protests about data centers there for example. Drones as an example: China is making them very cheap and to counter them is currently expensive. If they manage to make these drones fully autonomous too, it's a big threat. That also applies to other weapons operation and development. The idea is to one day not need a human to plan and execute a military operation. And notice that using AI for this isn't comparable to nuclear weapons in the sense you potentially will screw up the whole planet if you use it.

Despite despising this A"I" circus, some arguments in the sea of discussions are valid, IMHO.

I was actually wondering if there's a news outlet that would do that but another extra step: filter what Trump and others say. e.g. the whole Gulf of Mexico/Greenland/Canada BS. I don't want to read about everything he says because most is just trolling and leads to nothing. And that's basically what news sources were on the first term. I'd rather read only if/when becomes something real, e.g, "Canada imposes sanctions on US due Trump's statements of anexing Canada".

I use freshrss and fluent reader as android client app

I know personally 3 people, 2 from work, one neighbor closely. Reasonable, pro equality in all fronts and not MAGA. We still don't agree on abortion (none of them want to ban abortion), guns (none think we should hand AR15s to anyone), how big the government should be. They don't like Trump, but don't want democrats. The "ALL republicans are racist/sexist" is absurd and that's what my last comments are about. While people on both sides demonize and make assumptions on the other side, this divide will keep getting bigger.

That I think it's the scariest thing we have right now: a lot of people that forgot we need to live together and trying to shove your ideology down others throats is not the way to go, no matter how right one believes to be.

If all traffic is going through your homelab you can make the vpn clients use a vpn specific DNS server or the one suggested with resolving per origin, you then make the external names to your services to resolve to the servsrs' internal IP addresses, avoiding going out. Another way is to add rules to your gateway to redirect internal traffic going to your external IP addresses to DNAT to the internal addresses but in order for that to work you need to masquerade them which means server logs will have gateway's IP.

I believe the same. Want it or not, Trump has the charisma that nobody else in the party does. And the luck. My only hope to stop the madness was to have Trump losing the election then dropping dead by natural causes after. That'd be safest way to take all his followers out of the spell. I really don't see any other way for his cult to end. Then the right wing extremists go back to hate in their closets and, if democrats are smart, keep having more moderate candidates like Biden and reign the extreme left as well.

Something some thinkpad users value a lot is the trackpoint. I'm seriously considering breaking a 4 thinkpad (3 X2x0, one X1 carbon) spree with a 13" framework but not having trackpoint is a big issue for me. I'm using the fact my X1 is still fast enough for my use to wait and hope for framework to get a trackpoint. There're more people in the same boat in framework's forums.

To comment on one of your points, something that gets lost when people learn about open source (at least most traditional licenses): nobody can change the license of something that was released so you have the option to fix it yourself or hire someone else to do it for you. While it's incredibly powerful thing to have, many people only look at open source as "free (as in beer) stuff with free support". Thing is, even if there's no chance in earth you'll fix it yourself, it's likely someone out there who's in the same situation will do it and make available for others. Key here is having popular and open enough hardware that people can replace or the software completely or keep its development (if open).

As open source printers go, you can always use the parts to convert it to a different printer but that requires tinkering. Perhaps this move will piss off enough some Bambu users that they'll make the switch away from the "I just want something that works" mindset into tinkers.

I like gummy bears so I buy from Prusa. They insist in sending some weird parts with my gummy bears. I have a pile of these parts in the garage. That reminds me, I need to order another $999 bag of gummy bears.

But seriously if you enjoy thinkering (and lying to yourself how much is the limit on spending) you might enjoy a vzbot 330.

As alternative you can get a pi running octoprint to control the prusa by usb and keep the printer itself completely disconnected.

I'm sure nothing that is happening has to do with Biden's plan on taxing harder the 1%...
