Cool game! Definitely needs the bonus words counter in the shareable results snippet.

There have been attempts to make the Pi boot faster (by disabling the initialization of various subsystems), e.g.:

I was disappointed that he did not actually fix the two biggest safety issues with the bike: the runaway triggering positive feedback loop when walking the bike, and the backward-extending kick stand.

They're going to move Fable off of the subscription tiers to API-only.

Is this official? When?

Do not print a key fob out of PLA. It will not survive summer car temperatures. A better choice is PETG, or ABS and ASA if you have an enclosed printer that can vent outside.

That's weird. Can't think of a legal basis that would allow the bank to refuse it. They have machines that verify it's not counterfeit after all. People regularly pay for used cars with cash here, and I've never heard of anyone refusing a 500€ note.

if the printer was also advertised as working (with full functionality) with third party clients

I don't think this was ever the case. But I'm happy to be proven wrong here.

That is literally what they said:

I can no longer use OrcaSlicer to interact with my printers (e.g. sync filaments) and start prints remotely.

The remote interaction with the printer goes via their cloud.

If you tell me my new toaster can send a live video of my bagel to my phone then I am entitled to receive that functionality without being subject to your shitware.

No you aren't. You might be able to use 3rd party clients, but this is never a given. BambuLab owns their cloud servers, they can choose which clients they will allow to use them.

This is false. After the authorization-related firmware changes last year LAN mode doesn't allow 3rd party slicers to connect.

I can connect to my P2S in LAN mode with OrcaSlicer just fine (currently using the latest 2.4.0 nightly).

be able to connect to printers in a different subnet

This is a separate issue, I think even Bambu Studio can't connect to printers in LAN mode on a different subnet.

The part of the slicer connecting to their cloud IS closed source.

Why do you feel entitled to use their cloud services with 3rd party applications?

It can talk to the printer directly if you use "LAN mode". This also work with 3rd party slicers like OrcaSlicer.

what?

The irony is that I only know about this game through memes like this. I've never seen an actual ad for it anywhere.

I bought a ~60€ Redragon linear switches keyboard for my office desk to replace the company-provided shitty Logitech, not expecting much, and was very surprised by the quality. So competition is definitely tough.

But it still degrades performance.

Are you saying dropping cache after 1 hour is not intentionally degrading performance?

I traveled some of the countries along the way last year, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan (by hiking and offroad vehicles). The landscape is beautiful, but be very prepared to survive in the scorching sun and dust in the desert for days without any option to resupply food and water. We met some solo cyclists along the way, I have great respect for those individuals. For example, this is how the main road looks like in some parts of Tajikistan: https://i.imgur.com/MlZauBn.jpeg The traffic on these roads consists mostly of Chinese trucks and an occasional crazy traveler like us. Note how a secondary track emerged along the side of the main road because the original one became so filled with potholes.

Meanwhile, I still can't use Gemini as my Android Auto assistant.

Can you list some examples? When I lived in Chicago it was quite common for cyclists to shout this on the long lakefront trail, I wonder if that's the case there too.

I haven't figured out how to block ads on my phone

Firefox + ublock origin + consent-o-matic saves the day for me.

No such option. Apparently it needs to be allowed by the vendor (Samsung)?

The Linux terminal app on Android (check Developer settings if you want it)

I don't see it. How do I install it?

Wow that's amazing. Which glasses can do this?

There will always be outliers.

If it's not safe to use, then they should wait or go around. Otherwise accidents like this one happen.

That is exactly my point. What visual aids do the ATC controllers have at their disposal to decide if the runway is free for an emergency vehicle to pass?

Still, the runway could be reserved for landing aircrafts only, still preventing access to all other types of vehicles.

I'm curious about what kind of visualization does the ATC have at the disposal about the current occupancy of the individual tarmac segments? I'd assume if an airplane is approaching for landing on a specific runway, that runway should have been clearly marked as restricted for access until the plane would actually land and clear it?
