I’d be fine with eating bugs too if they grew large enough for me to not have to eat the exoskeleton as well.

The architecture doesn’t determine the power draw so much as the system design. I’ve got a Chromebox running an i3 and sipping 4.5w at idle.

Why in hell are all these people on a Technology community who clearly don’t understand the reason why companies are all-in on the AI thing?

I don’t want to pull a “no true scotsman” here, but holy christ. Are any of the people here actually technology enthusiasts? Because there’s a lot of technophobes and luddites here.

In fact, I’d say MOST replies to this community are people pooh-poohing Tech.

Honestly, that price for registration is tempting.

Fucking “.sucks” is $270+ to register!! O_O Fuck that.

.com it’s cheap, it’s available, I don’t have to worry about a country pulling the thing out from under me, it’s standard in people’s minds (people don’t know what a URI/URL is, but they know what a .com is immediately)

Nothing worse to people on Lemmy than another person with a SLIGHTLY different world view.

Nah we’re astroturfed hard here too – NONSTOP anti-Harris “can’t vote for genocide” stuff here, until after Trump got elected and then hundreds and hundreds of accounts just vanished overnight. The topic isn’t even so much as discussed any more.

There’s a ton of endpoints in the fediverse, so it’s really easy to spread the account production everywhere, and automation is really easy. I’d do it myself if I were a dishonest person.

I am Bipolitical. I am tired of being discriminated against!

How about they just pay for seats? The stands clearly are accommodating for everyone. And it isn’t ‘equity’ either.

This graphic has been used for too long because of its emotional aspect. Equality is them buying seats and watching the game without boxes at all. In itself, it’s a fallacy because they clearly have accommodations for all of them, and they’ve decided to stand behind a fence.

And, since WHEN do skin colors need special accommodations ANYWAYS?

Dividing people by skin color is the first way the corporate elite divide our nation - so that we fight amongst ourselves against the real discrimination, class-based discrimination.

If you think Reddit is extreme, wait until you meet the people on Lemmy. There are a couple of normal rational folk around here, but they’re far outnumbered at the moment.

Just like the US PATRIOT act was definitely about being a patriot, right?

And if you don’t support it, then you’re not a patriot, right?

See how that works?

There are a dozen first-hand experiences in this thread, and you’re discounting them all because you lack real-life experience.

Politics is a spectrum you bigot.

Grow up. Putting words in my mouth isn’t a discussion, it’s childishness.

The real world is calling, wants you to come back to it some time. Plenty of examples in this EXACT thread where people detail DEI hiring someone because of their skin color.

That’s racism.

Sure, it’s the racist that YOU deem acceptable, but it’s still racist.

Equality != Equity. Equity is equal outcome regardless of capability. Equality is equal opportunity, and merit-based.

Equity is the wrong thing to strive for when we don’t even have equality yet.

I don’t believe in “Equity”, I believe in “Equality”. The difference is that with Equality, everyone gets the same opportunities. They don’t just get opportunities because of their skin color, despite lack of qualifications.

I oppose the existing “DEI” as it exists today because it’s openly racist. It’s openly racist to the people it basically purports to help.

I don’t sell printers. Just fix them. Price depends on machine make/model and what I commonly find wrong with them; but I usually charge a $100 flat fee + parts. I’ve done remote chats and helped people fix their own printers too.

Most fixes come down to the owners inability to see the forest for the trees type of situation – They’ll hyper-fixate on “leveling” when their extrusion system is having problems. Ender 3’s are my bread and butter, because they are really cheap, and that cheapness comes with a cost: the need for knowledge. The v3’s are especially good, and the older ones are fine if you know how to tighten a bolt here-or-there.

Bambu Labs machines are the best for an end-user, hands down - but as an enthusiast I refuse to own one. Pragmatically speaking though, most users aren’t going to care much.

I misread this at first and thought you said “We don’t do Therapy”. XD

My first machine was a Sells Mendel back in 2010. Literally didn’t have a machine; but had a friend with one he couldn’t get to work. The deal was: I get it to work, and I could print my machine’s parts with it. I got it to work, and now I also get everyone else’s printers working too :)
