  • I’ve got a Bambu A1 mini that I’m quite happy with. Bambu studio works perfectly fine on Linux, and I can import lots of different kinds of designs from anywhere, but I think you do really need Bambu Studio to prepare the print for this specific printer. I have no idea if there’s any way around that, but is that necessary?

    The a1 mini is very good at small details. The main downside is of course that it’s not very big, so not suitable for large prints. It calibrates automatically and is very low maintenance.


  • I switched newspapers when I noticed that every time my newspaper write about something I actually knew about, they wrote garbage.

    Sapiens does present some really powerful ideas, though. I enjoyed it a lot, but the book clearly glosses over a lot of details. Then again, it tries to tackle a ridiculously big scope, so I can see how it can’t get into all of the details. I still consider it a worthy read despite its shortcomings. But read it more for the ideas than for the facts.


  • Googling stuff online doesn’t make you a programmer either. You still have to learn it, know how to apply what you look up, understand how the computer works. Although it’s easier to learn by yourself, at least partially because there are no lives at stake.

    And doctors look up plenty of stuff too. Only a fool would think they already know everything.






  • VS is itself short for Visual Studio, the first IDE I ever used, and the first MS product I liked. So VS Code Studio means Visual Studio Code Studio.

    Why Visual? Because 25 years ago MS was pushing Visual C++, where you would drag and drop visual components together and then figure out where to put the C++ code to make them work.

    Hours is enough to empty them. If I see them parked in front of our house late in the evening, I don’t think they’re going to go out anymore today. It’s far more likely that they forgot to turn them off than that they intentionally kept them on.

    Fortunately, they rarely flash, but burn continuously. I think the flashing ones are illegal here, and they can be super annoying.



  • All these tech giants have their own area where they are the absolute worst, and other areas where they’re not as bad as some of the others.

    Apple sucks on app store restrictions, but on the desktop OS, the respect user privacy more than Google and MS do. Google is the absolute worst on ads, tracking and using search to leverage their monopoly, but they’ve also made a ton of cool stuff, including Android. MS makes the worst piece of shit OS and forces everybody to use it while they make it worse, but I’m sure there’s also something they do right.
