Pretty reasonable. Happy to pay for this, I can't stand using Macos without it.

There are many valid criticisms one can make about Bambu Lab, but the constant overreactions to everything they do is so tiring. Somebody at their company saw a fork with their own company name on it, impersonating their own client auth code, and sent a C&D.

The receiver of the C&D should see a lawyer about what changes or user-facing messages might get Bambu to back off. This is a normal, solvable business disagreement, not an excuse for everyone to get their pitchforks out again.

Also: I run multiple Bambu printers offline and they all work fine via sneakernet without anyone's files going anywhere. People should stop acting like these devices are bricks when used without internet access.

Hasn't rolled out everywhere yet, for the record.

The JoeyJr is also a great tool for this. It can dump and write GB carts but specially detects when you plug in a GB camera and gives you a folder of image files.

Once in a while I remember .arj

I usually read HN through Feedly, which tries to grab an appropriate image for the target of the headline link.

For your site, it returned a product logo with a very, very different name: https://notionportals.com/og-image.png

If only he would take liquid glass with him. I am so tired of upgrades that are "more delightful than ever" :(

I remain haunted by the new score that Gabriel Thibaudeau created for the 2010 restoration of Metropolis. I saw it performed live in Toronto and I'm still desperate to hear it again someday, but there's never been any home media release (official or unofficial) so far as I know.

I recommend The Crowd (1928) [1] by King Vidor. Incredible cinematography and an emotional story about regular people that was unusual for the time. Absolutely blew me away.

In Windows it's still faster than anything else if you've copied an image to clipboard to open irfanview -> paste -> save, or to do a quick crop or whatever.

I've got a ThinkPad T430 that came from a local shop selling off-lease laptops a few years ago, and it's been great as a dedicated Linux laptop. Even a T490 from 2019 is only CAD$300 and change off of Amazon these days, which is wild if you don't need the latest and greatest.

This looks like a great option to keep around for using with the Quest headset. Meta's VR controllers don't have a d-pad, which is awful when you want to play Tetris Effect in VR.

I've used the slightly larger 8BitDo Lite SE gamepad for that in the past, but a smaller unit with a nice d-pad would be nice.

(Assuming that it does in fact work with the Quest. Now I'm not sure..)

When this originally came out, I kept it bookmarked for 20 years before finally buying the poster and putting it on the wall :D https://imgur.com/ffS4pds

I was confused about this line at first: 'When Tim Cook unveils Apple’s new “mixed-reality” headset later this year'

If I'm understanding correctly: there's AR glasses that were expected, which are not happening this year, and then separately, there's a mixed-reality headset (ie VR with some exterior cameras) that apparently is happening for sure this year

I'm curious if Beat Saber is ever going to come to the device.. Like did Meta acquire it just for the potential to force some concessions from Apple? The Quest can show notifications from your phone, but the integration is overall terrible and I think Apple knows that having that tight integration is a Big Deal

(which conversely might mean they'll never accept any terms whatsoever to get Beat Saber on apple mixed reality)

LastPass was my first thought, but I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue and decided it couldn't possibly be them. Now I'm not sure!

I've emailed you a list of the extensions I use in Chrome - if you want to share publicly any that we have in common I'm okay with that

This also happened to me back on Nov 10, 2021. I had an old LastPass account, wasn't using it, when all of a sudden i get an email:

-- Login attempt blocked Hello,

Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize. LastPass blocked this attempt, but you should take a closer look. ---

Like you, it told me that the attempt came from Brazil, using an IP address starting with 160. I have no idea how they would've gotten that password. Made me wonder if LastPass had some issue, but nothing was in haveibeenpwned

I tried it and got "12ft has been disabled for this site". I guess the paywall was taller than the ladder! :D

IMO the audiobook versions narrated by Jonathan Cecil are the best of the lot: you get a voice that sounds like both Fry and Laurie, and the richness of the full text.

GODDAMMIT

They were already selling two-colour Makerbots. (Thing-o-Matics with dual MK7 extruders.) The significant bit today is the large build area in the new Replicator.
