It is my understanding that iOS does not support Syncthing.
I installed an optical drive in my computer recently, and I was playing with my old CDs, and found that Poodle Hat has a data partition, or whatever the hell you call them on CDs. On which is a 6 minute .mov file that takes up about an 8th of the disc's space, in which Al thanks the owner of the disc for buying the album "instead of downloading it like some HOOLIGAN!" And then proceeds to joke over some of his own home movies.
My father's toyota will do that when it senses you're approaching traffic too fast. It will start beeping and flashing indicators on the dashboard. Which I think should be banned, because at a critical moment the vehicle takes your attention off the road because you instinctively look down to see what the car is mad about.
Cider production requires very sweet apples, because you're looking for sugar.
I built a MK4S from the kit, and I would recognize it, even without having printed it it's a memorable part of the build. You'd basically have to have built or upgraded a Prusa printer in the last 2 years to recognize it for what it is. If you hadn't been introduced to it, do you have any hope of guessing what that's for?
This statement is technically correct, the best kind of correct.
I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with ghost guns. "Ghost guns" is just another way of spelling "protect the children."
When was the last school shooting that used a ghost gun? No, they use Bushmasters, Rugers, Smith & Wessens, Glocks. Because you can just...buy those. In a store. When's the last time a serial number stopped a shooting?
There's definitely a little bit of this going on.
I wonder if Nvidia is leaning on them a bit. Like, create a regulatory requirement for something for one of their bullshit datacenters to do now that Microslop has said "we need to find something useful for AI to do or we're not going to be able to live the lie much longer" out loud almost verbatim?
I outright don't know if this is even possible. I mean...

What's that? I bet 60% of people who have touched one of those couldn't identify what it is by sight. Should I be allowed to print that?
I'll take your filthy upvote. Not from a big truck, through a series of tubes.
Yep. The way that is accomplished is that practically all governments that issue paper money add a specific pattern of five circles to it somewhere, often in numerous places. American 10, 20, 50 and 100 bills use repeating patterns of those numbers to disguise it, others hide or celebrate it in various ways. Any scanner, copier or printer is looking for that pattern, and if it sees it, it refuses to print it.
The problem to solve there is "is this 2D pattern present?" It's like asking if the word "soup" is printed somewhere on a page in Courier New, in terms of the computational power it takes to solve; it's just optical character recognition.
Prusa is evidently stupid enough to bake a bitmap image of the object to be printed in their G-Code file, but that could be stopped. The printer doesn't get to see the model file, only the hundreds of thousands of lines of G-Code that it is expected to obey as perfectly as it can.
There are still printers for sale today that run on Arduino Mega-based control boards; you want them to try answering "is this G-Code going to make a part of a gun" as a function of the firmware? Psh.
When was the last time a legislator understood the legislation they were passing?


This Lemmy comment will be performed in the voice of that fat British guy on Youtube shorts that talks about marketing
You see, the problem with marketing it as a "second phone" is that you're implying that it's too shit to be someone's first phone. Or that you've chosen to do something to it that would make it impossible to live with.
I remember in 2018, Verizon started offering a tiny little Android phone branded as a Palm of all things, and that small but vocal minority who insist they want small phones started clamoring for it only to be told that it's a "companion device" and you still had to have another device active on that line. It cost $350 plus $10 a month on top of another device and plan.
There was essentially no one on earth who wanted a special phone they only used to take to the gym with them, they refused to sell it to people who specifically wanted it, and so it didn't sell well, to say the least.
