Yeah. You show me a Linux user, I'll show you someone who has worked in tech support with primarily windows machines.

"Metaphorically."

For the printer side, sure. But if they start declaring slicers that aren't phoning to a govt server illegal... they'll be slightly harder to find and install. Which is just why this is soo stupid. Not only is it very hard to enforce, phoning models into a central server and expecting it to know what models contain parts for a gun or the like isn't really possible (you could maybe make some AI to intuit a bit, but it would probably suck at actually figuring out if a print is dangerous or not).

They're probably gonna try making the slicer send the print to a central server (based on what I was hearing about the California law), so while making a printer from a kit (like a Voron) isn't a bad idea, they're probably gonna try to aim for the software side. The whole thing is so dumb.

Yeah, but right now they have free oil that a lot of countries need. What is Russia gonna do, say you stole their oil? It wasn't their ship, so who knows who's oil it is, so whatever country finds it should hang onto it, finders keepers style.

Been pirating books for a while. And in doing so, found a few authors I really like, so I ended up preordering some of their books and even recommending them to friends. AI doesn't ever preorder their books, and will probably not recommend them to random people without being paid to advertise by the author. Which is why the argument of, "I pirate, so what's the difference if AI does it?" kinda falls flat in my mind.

Yep. Genuinely would have gotten it if on steam, just want to make sure I can continue to play it if I want to in many years time.

Also maybe last longer, but the hold your pee is probably more applicable.

Yep. I occasionally need to search for a shorts video, but unless I do you can just select to not see the shorts in search, which is surprisingly nice, and should be included on the web UI.

Honestly, get an electric gooseneck kettle with around a liter of capacity and something to dial in the temp. I've been using electric kettles for tea and coffee for years (from the US, so a bit out of the ordinary here), and I got one a few months ago and have loved it. Mine is a will sense wk-g1 (it's definitely chinesium, so other models are probably basically the same), but the main feature to look for is making sure it doesn't reset the temp you set it on between boils. The goose neck is surprisingly nice (can pour directly into a ramen cup without worrying about spilling on my hands), and for a $25 used kettle I picked up on marketplace, I've derived an inexplicable amount of enjoyment out of it.

Not only that, but if there are chemicals in that water that can't be filtered, that's just in the well water now. As someone who grew up on well water in the country, that's terrifying, as you aren't gonna get water pumped in at a price that is viable. Especially when you realize most of rural Georgia is like that (same with a lot of southern states).

Nah, I get it. I was the same way, first PCs were prebuilts or laptops, so my latest build was a mostly scratch build (I already had built the case {makerbeam} and reused the PSU, and as mentioned I opted for a minisforum board to save on cost for an overkill CPU). That being said, I keep an eye out on marketplace and occasionally see a PC that is probably being sold because rent is due, and those are often decent deals and you are probably helping someone though a shit moment in their life.

Enjoy the building! Also, as someone who finally committed to getting off windows this past year, you won't regret it (though I would watch a couple of videos about Linux roughly works, answers on forums are great but it helps to understand the overarching problem).
