How does this make any business sense from any angle?

Presumably, you have the actual file already, but you can't give some free advertising to the creator by posting a make of the file? Locking the file behind a paywall makes sense since that's the actual thing of value here. Locking a make behind a paywall is neutral for the consumer and a negative for the creator.

From the consumers' perspective, there is essentially zero incentive to pay just to post a picture of someone else's creation. There's no FOMO, there's nothing being 'withheld.' It's just one less step you have to do (assuming you wanted to do it in the first place).

So what happens here is the creator loses out on free advertising, the consumer isn't even mildly inconvenienced, and Prusa still gets zero revenue out of the whole deal.

Can someone give a rationale for this? Maybe something I'm missing?

That's more like a treasure map where the creator didn't want you to find the treasure too easily.

I thought the male version of cleavage was when your beer belly hangs out a little below your shirt because you definitely still wear the same size shirt that you did 10 years ago.

I've just been looking for a future solution when I retire my desktop. I wanted a lower power PC like a NUC but I currently have 9 or 10 HDDs in the PC which won't work as a bunch of external enclosures and a NAS would be not worth the money for this many drives.

Maybe I'll just get an i5 with QuickSync and an ITX or micro ATX for the next revision

I have a Galaxy Watch4 and it would last me about 3 days new and is down to around two days now. I've already bought a replacement battery but haven't bothered to put it in yet.

This is with the always on display off and everything else on including wifi.

Biden scraps Trump’s paint scheme for Air Force One

When their list contains stuff like this, you know they're grasping at straws.

It'd be mildly amusing to walk to the front and demand they tell you why they have all your stuff for sale on their shelves.

Recent history? They've been junk for a long time. I'll give the Wrangler a pass but the rest of their lineup had been pretty terrible.

What citizenship? I never saw his long-form birth certificate. Clearly, he's hiding the truth that he was born on the moon. Musk should pilot Starship to take him back on a one-way trip.

It's all we can use at work besides Edge which is just a reskinned Chrome.

On my personal devices it's 100% Firefox as they have great features like sharing pages between devices and extensions on the mobile browser.
