For a compsci major is recommend something with klipper that's easy to tinker with. Bambu is great for non tech people that need an appliance that just works (down vote me if you want, I'm not condoning their lockdown practices).
Qidi is good but their klipper is modified and not open source. Q1 pro is what I have and it's great but modifying the firmware is, last I checked, is a whole project not supported by the company.
Elegoo and creality are good choices but I'm not very familiar with the printers personally.
Prusa is great but they are pricey and have been falling behind in innovation.
Or maybe they just actually know diversity is a good thing that helps a company make better products. Apple never struck me as particularly stupid, just evil.
Only thing I've ever heard of being an issue is that if it's too cold the thermistor (I think) will throw and error and the heating bed won't work, but nothing is broken, just might not function until in a warmer environment or using a heat gun to get the sensor above 0c or something. I don't think you have anything to worry about for storage
It's definitely not necessary, but it becomes very empowering when you can go from idea in your head to 3d mock-up to printed object in a matter of minutes or hours.
As far as chromium based browsers go, edge is actually one of the best. I have a portable degoogled chromium I keep locked in a vault myself, but that's only because I ripped edge out of windows. If I wasn't the type of person that got irrationally furious about edge running in the background using up system resources doing whatever the fuck windows was having to do, I would just use edge when I needed a chromium browser.
Yes? Machine learning has been huge for protein folding and not because anyone is stupid, it's because it's a task uniquely suited for machine learning, of which there are many. But none of that is what this AI bubble is really about, and even though I find the underlining math and technology fascinating, I share the disdain for how the bulk of it is currently being used.
Fun story about that. I was harvesting one of my first cannabis grows and one plant was too dense and definitely got moldy. I spent hours and hours going through the fresh flower with a scope and at one point thought I was going to have to throw everything out: there was mold everywhere!! Which was of course true, there is mold everywhere. I went a little crazy that day, but eventually chose an acceptable amount of fungus and moved on with my life. There was no issues drying and curing except in the one jar I put the black stuff just to see what would happen. It got gross.
Pretty sure it's a jpegxl and, in my case, using brave as my default browser and Voyager as my Lemmy app produced the same thing (a low quality picture). Tracking down the url of the pic in brave yielded the same results, however, the identical url in Firefox yielded the full definition picture. Jpegxl uses the same container .jpg and can serve a lower definition of itself as it loads in full. The rollout for that codec and adoption is happening like right now. So that's my guess.
A body mod artist does literally wound you, it's not paint. It's plugs cut out, sub dermals inserted, or just ears pierced if you're vanilla, that's the sort of thing they do.
Yeah fair enough, my a1 mini is still a nice little workhorse, but I can fine tune like nothing on it and that bugs me
