  • I object to the term "capitalism". The correct term is "classical liberal" (modern liberals are something else with very little in common). I boost capitalism because it is a result of freedom, and that also informs when I will limit my support for capitalism.

  • My supply managemet reys know that, I just know they talk about it is a routine thing and the suppliers salesmen act like it is normal. I'm not in those conversations often but I've heard them.

  • Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show

    Jump

  • I don't understand why legitmate companies are not in arms over this. When that many ads are scams your customers will learn that facebook ads are scams and not buy from you either. Fool me once...

  • Low cost continuous fiber 3D printer

  • The bane of 3d printing is generally between layers though. Layers are not strong, but they are much stronger than the between lawyer connections.

  • There is no reason consumers cannot demand this even though they haven't. There is no reason the law cannot demand it even though it hasn't.

    The important part is that the idea exists and is common enough in OTHER situations. When you ask for it there will be people who know what this means and there is a whole industry of "we escrow your code for you" that can handle the details. If you make a new law you have plenty of examples to look at and so are much less likely to accidentally create some unintended consequence that is worse than the current situation.

    Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

    Jump

  • After verifying that OP's intent was met I gave a more fun answer that abused the letter of what was asked.

  • A guy compares price and time to prepare of a Chipotle Quesadilla with a homemade one.

    Jump

  • And soon you are going down the rabbit hole of making everything. Homemade tortillas, raise the vegetables in your garden, buy land in the country so you can raise you own beef. Then you go the next level and are making a new universe from scratch...

    Have fun, cooking is a fun hobby that gives you better food (often healthier tastier, and cheaper!).

    Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

    Jump

  • Yes. However as others have already said odds are you don't have the right devices. Still if you really work at it everything exists. Start by selecting one of the few TVs that support it, then get a good HDMI cable, make sure you have a video card that supports it, with drivers for the OS (you might have to write them yourself), then just setup networking. This would be an interesting hack, I'd love to see someone get it working and show their setup, but it is otherwise useless and will be a lot of work.

  • Consumer devices are not industry. they almost never get that treatment.

  • The code should go into escrow when the first game is sold. This is standard practice in industry - you don't buy something without assurance that if the company goes under you have options.

  • If you don't want to give the sever away (including the ability to use it) then don't shut it down or otherwise make the game unplayable.

  • Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation

    Jump

  • We are reasonably confident that mathematical limitations apply to both the inner and outer universe. However they don't understand the mathematical limitations enough to understand how little they matter. Pi is pi everywhere - that doesn't change anything.

    There are truths we can't prove true - again it doesn't say anything about all the other trues we can prove.

  • What OS do you like for digital signage/kiosk/dashboard only?

    Jump

  • Cage is not what I want from a kiosk. I want window management, I just want a few fixed windows in fixed positions. Sometimes I want to rotate between a few windows. I'm running Magicmirror now which gives what I want, but it is too slow and too locked into the everything is a web app model.

  • PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking

    Jump

  • I'm sure the likes of Bambu will never support this, but lots of other makes likely will. Some will jump all in right away (it is cheap and a useful feature for their customers), others will jump in when forced. Some of the cheap ones will never jump in because that is $.50 they don't want to spend.

  • What OS do you like for digital signage/kiosk/dashboard only?

    Jump

  • I have a pi3 with a 20" touchscreen that I'm using. Raspbian booting to magic mirror. It works, but Magic Mirror is slow bloated/slow that I'm not happy with it. I'm about ready to make my own QT based signage - I suspect it will be much more performant as well as more flexible. Still it is a lot of work and so I hesitate to bother (even if version one could be done in a day - I have enough other projects).

  • Should I go back to college/university?

    Jump

  • Paychack to paycheck is about your spending. Until you get well over a million per year you will find more to spend your money on than you make. Odds are if you look hard you can find someone make less than you who still manages to live.

    the above isn't all bad. You should save for a rainy day and retirement - but not too much. You can't take it with you when you die (a few religions disagree - if you believe in one disregaurd this) so you should plan to spend it all before die. You don't know how long you will live so try to spend most of your paycheck.

    there is nothing wrong with wanting more. you have already got good advice about college. just be prepared it won't suddenly make you have more than you spend, that requires a different life change.

  • Multilingual people, do you feel better about yourself than those that only speak one language? Monolingual people, do you envy/admire Multilingual people? And why?

    Jump

  • When I was in germany a few years ago I'm sure I came off as a monolingual person - none of the people tried to speak spanish to me though to they have no idea I can - and I didn't get any much needed practice.

    Which operating system should I choose?

    Jump

  • FreeBSD - it won't be easy, but I've been a BSD guy at heart for decades... You will learn a lot and eventually be able to create better systems, but it will be years before you should risk putting anything important on a system - as a noob you have a lot to learn the hard way. Once you think you know FreeBSD you should try the other BSDs, and things like gentoo linux: you will really learn how this works.

    You can follow the advice of the others and get a system going sooner. It isn't a wrong choice, but you won't learn as much and if something doesn't work the way you want you are stuck since you can't dare change anything. As such I have to advice against it despite all the time/effort my advice will cost you.
