  • Bambu used to only remotely disable your printer if you didn't connect it to their servers. Then they sent a legal team to harass you if you tried to circumvent this restriction.

    Now they remotely burn your house down.

  • Wait for billionaire Zuck to make a quick phone call to Trump followed by a "donation" and the EPA will say that there is nothing wrong with the water.

  • Become complacent, make a sub-par product, prioritize Corporate decisions over user experience, do nothing to fix what the users criticize, abuse your control over the OS to double down and try to force it down your user's throats through increasingly intrusive ways, fail to understand why people hate you. That's the Microslop way. Its corporate culture, size and dominating position in the market prevents it from making a good product. Large companies like that should be broken up. They are too large for their own, or anyone else's good.

    Seriously, I am forced to use Teams and OneDrive for work and my productivity is constantly held back by the complete lack of basic quality of life features that most FOSS applications made for free by volunteers would have.

  • Great move by Snapmaker. In considering buying a new printer soon I am very annoyed by how difficult it is to know beforehand how much functionality of a printer is locked behind cloud connectivity that can be remotely disabled at any point. I know Bambu is to avoid absolutely thanks to the very public backlash they got but what about the others?

    I know Prusa is a shining example of letting their customers own their devices but they are pricy. I didn't know Snapmaker had the same kind of mentality until now thanks to that move.

  • I guess he realized Canada wasn't gonna let it happen so he switched to a smaller target to bully.

  • We noticed a long while ago.

  • Depends on the back problem. For my situation, reclining was the worst thing to do.

  • I have messed up my back so bad a few years ago that I couldn't even stand or sit on a couch or normal chair for very long without pain for over a year afterwards. Fortunately I got better after a slow recovery but it never fully went away.

    I sit at a desk for most of the day so solutions had to be explored. I've tried many things during that time. I've found out that what worked best was to be sitting with my legs not fully at 90 degrees with my body and my back held vertically, supported only by my core muscles.

    Exercise balls worked fine if you sit more on the front edge of it, but you have to resist the urge of moving around and bouncing on it because that will absolutely wreck your back.

    I've settled on a kneeling chair without a back support. The one I have you can adjust the angle so you can decide how much of your weight is on your knees and how much is on your butt.

    Both of these require an adjustment period to get your core muscles used to be engaged for so long. Stretching your quads and hamstrings to gain more hip mobility so you can sit with your legs at 90 degrees without having to tilt your hip back and stand without tilting it forward helped a lot too.

    The saddle chair does look like it would help too I might try it one day.

  • That's one way to describe the effects of his body odor

  • Physical buttons are faster, more enjoyable to use and safer. But they won't care as long as they don't realise excessive touchscreen controls hurts their sales too.

  • I prefer to make my own by buying two cylinders of hydrogen gas and one cylinder of oxygen.

  • Which unless it goes out through a window would eventually be turned into heat anyway, right?

  • The origin story of Mintberry Crunch

  • Or Conan O'Brien's Dr. Arroyo

  • Kevlar only stops very low power rounds and shrapnel. A typical rifle round is much more powerful and will go through too many layers of kevlar for a vest made entirely of kevlar to be effective and practical against that. For that you need ballistic plates that are designed to shatter on impact, absorbing the bullet and its splash and dissipating its energy in the process.

    The total can probably weigh something around 30 lbs for something Trump-sized and can stop a typical rifle round. But the worst is that this stuff isn't flexible or breathable. It's hot and sweaty, chafes your skin, hugs your chest tight and you are sandwiched between two rigid and heavy plates. The front one goes way up to the base of your neck and can press against your throat when you're sitting down and slouch, which Trump does. It's a miserable thing to be wearing all day.

  • There is no way he will wear a proper vest with the plates required to stop a rifle round. His old spoiled rich unfit lazy pampered ass would find it too tight, heavy and uncomfortable to wear.

  • I absolutely love that in Deep Space Nine they had one episode where they go back in time to the TOS times with Worf in tow, they see Klingons there and acknowledge that they look significantly different.

    They turned to Worf and said something in the lines of "Those are Klingons? They look so different! What happened?" And Worf just said "It's embarrassing. We don't like to talk about it"

  • Great work! Hopefully this will spread.

  • I wouldn't have believed that there was this many pictures of him smiling
