  • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

  • Yes, I know. That's why BYD is going to then squeeze the customers once they are locked in.

  • I'd argue it is.

    Just look how Amazon got where it is now: Sell way under market price, till local competition closed shop, then squeeze.

    TIL that the first victims of The Holocaust were murdered at the Dachau concentration camp in 1933, and the Bavarian Justice Ministry tried to prosecute the SS for the murders.

  • One of the most well know and influential anti Nazi songs of the era The Peat Bog Soldiers was composed in 1933 as well.

    Even years before the outbreak of war in Europe these camps had already had a storied history.

  • Counterpoint: At times people had to directly pay firefighters or they'd let the building burn.

    Yes, nowadays we pay indirectly for police and firefighters but no one is going to ask for your credit card or let alone how much tax you paid last year.

  • [CW WAR] Is IRL stream sniping a thing?

    Jump

  • steam snipes

    Not relevant to the question itself but this phenomenon is called stReam sniping because it took off when live streams of videogames became popular.

  • How do I go about using/having printed purchased files off Etsy? How safe is it?

    Jump
    1. I have not personally purchased files off Etsy, but the way you describe it this has clearly the potential for a scam.
    2. I am not aware of any current attacks on 3D printers or the software ecosystem around it using prepared files. In any case, you should research what file formats the service you want to use accepts.
    3. Since we all a little different, as you say it is unlikely to be a good fit straight out of the box. How easy it is to adjust the model depends on the type of files the model maker provides. STLs are basically finished models meant to be directly used in a slicer software to create the necessary machine code for production. Many slicers have basic capacities to scale or stretch models, but for complex geometry this is hardly sufficient for adaptations. For example, this maker included a project file for Fusion360 that is able to be easily adjusted via parameters. However, AFAIK it is not common for commercial makers to include a project file, because that's effectivly like giving away the construction blueprint for your product. Depending on the makers willingness they might provide you with an model tailered to your messurments.
    4. That depends entirely on the volume and complexity of the model. Of course the model itself uses material but also support structure to hold the model while printing adds to the price.
    5. As Cults3D as a commercial provider handels hosting of the files I'm personally much more inclined to buy there instead of Etsy with the promise to receive a link to the actuall files.
