I know the pain, but both of those touchless options always suck. The water never stays on or doesn’t turn on unless you motion in one specific weird spot that’s either too close or too far away. And those dryers never dry your hands well enough. I’m grateful they never had touchless doors in the same way.
Though I have seen newer foot style doors that have a small piece of metal at the bottom you can “grab” and pull open.
I didn’t know that was a thing but makes sense. Do banks have a similar name to it like credit cards have chargeback?
That makes sense on the fees, I had forgotten the fees they get charged for processing plastic.
So this is why some gyms like mine are now doing discounts for using a checking account. I wondered why that was when I set up my account last year.
California is joining in too with AB-2047 and New York has AB-2228 requiring a criminal background check for buying a 3D printer.
As part of our commitment to SoulCrafted content, MyMiniFactory has adopted a zero-tolerance stance on AI generated content on our platform.
Thingiverse is now a SoulCrafted platform. In practice, that means we’ll be taking steps to reduce and eventually remove AI-generated designs from the site.
That is really interesting. I wonder how they are going to find those and remove.
Even before the boom of AI, I remember seeing a lot of random crap of unusual shapes just being added together and uploaded. I wonder if they’ll remove those too.
Same here. I’m sick of seeing people say stuff like “just pay for Premium bro”. Stfu. That’s like paying the mafia for “protection” from them. YouTube created these problems and now I have to pay them to fix it? Fuck no.
A bunch of vehicles are doing that and it’s so dumb. Even EV motorcycle manufacturer Zero has been doing it with stuff like heated grips.
You build it into the vehicle…but the customer can’t use it unless they pay monthly for the hardware that is already there…?
The worst of it all for the motorcycle space was a vest that is an airbag and has a subscription. So if you don’t pay your monthly subscription and crash, your airbag wouldn’t deploy. Utterly evil.
This is nothing new, except “relatively new” in the last 100 years. Check out the Phoebus Cartel. It’s a crazy story about light bulb manufacturers getting together to agree to make light bulbs last less so they will guarantee repeat customers.
It’s why I always laugh when Sylvania shows an ad about their “long lasting bulbs”.
You’d be crazy to not think the other industries haven’t been doing this too.
Why am I not surprised. More of Microsoft trying to enforce this bullshit now that they own CoD.
This right here is just one of the many reasons why going all in on digital fucking sucks.
Multibillion dollar company acknowledges that your account was accessed & security settings were changed by an unauthorized party but refuses to transfer purchases from that account that is now closed to a new account you set up.
Fucking horseshit.
I can understand data being locked away. It sucks, but too much liability to release to anyone. But products they still sell and you paid for? Fuck you mean I have to create a new account and buy that product again?!
I believe sometimes they fail no matter what because of a condition on your end.
I’ve encountered this behavior when I’m connected to a VPN or on Tor or sometimes because I’m running Linux. I think they will sometimes fail no matter what under these circumstances because the website is too lazy to actually put some effort in additional steps to vetting you.
I’ve never tried it but just found this when doing a web search https://github.com/MassimilianoRozza/3dsettingsdb
My slicers have settings based on what printer I have. At least my SLA slicer does and I never have needed to touch it to dial in my prints. Your slicer doesn’t have settings based on a make and model of a printer too?
It’s so smart. It’s a wonder why no one ever thought of it before…
128GB are even cheaper, some in the $10 USD range.
If all you do is web browsing and word processing, that’s more than enough.
We get it too when using virtual desktops in the cloud at work. It’s hilarious.
I just wish I had a way to block them. Sometimes I’m troubleshooting or researching and a Reddit thread pops up. It’s a waste of space since I can’t even visit the damn site.
He doesn’t come around too often unfortunately and when he does is when I’m at work. He’s leaving his vehicles there temporarily while he moves out of state so likely out of state and wing be back for a while.
Why I’m sure it’s him is that no one else goes into this property and this all coincidentally started after he began dropping off his cars.
But I am going to be coming by more often.
Honestly I’m glad for progress too. But to me, it’s still not enough. I’m glad I didn’t get any comments about how little it was like I was thinking. I don’t care how little trash it is, I don’t want to see ANY of it! I think that’s what got me so enraged because I’ve been coming to this property for decades and never seen any amounts of trash and to see these straight up infuriated me.
I went to Iceland a few years ago and it was so clean. I couldn’t find one bit of trash anywhere, in any place of the country we visited. It made me feel sick to my stomach comparing it to my home where trash has become a literal part of the city streets. Gum and other spots and little bits of random trash fly around and it’s just another day for us.
I want so much better for our planet and society as a whole. It kills me being on a hiking trail and seeing the littlest bit of trash in the middle of nowhere. Takes me out of the experience and reminds me of the state of filth we live in and just feels so wrong to do to the one place where humans are not permanent, let alone our own neighborhoods.
I had no idea what it was like before my time, but it feels good to know we’ve gotten better about it, in some respects, especially judging by that picture. Glad we had people like you helping to make things better.
I thought about doing it to his cars since I don’t know where he lives. But I figured that might be just making it go back to where it came from, whether he gets mad and throws it somewhere else or it blows away. I’m not sure when he gets back too. He’s parking his cars here because he’s moving out of state and just wants to keep them here temporarily, so no idea when he’d get back to ensure he gets back his “lost property”.
Agreed, I couldn’t find a community named that accurately described my emotions. This will have to do.
Agreed, this is classic for that. Even a perfectly scanned document into OCR almost always has errors. I have set it up for a lot of people and I always stress that you need to go in and review what got scanned because there has never been a time I have seen it get everything spelled correctly or in the right format as it was.
Same as AI. Anything you get from an LLM should be reviewed. Too many people just blindly trust whatever gets spit out without ever reviewing.
