Bingo

I will say, I would not want to be a software developer right now, but systems support is generally pretty stable (and less likely to be replaced by AI any time soon)

I almost added this as a point in my original comment, but you’re absolutely right, and its happening in other industries too (auto, for example). Its really tough to troubleshoot things you lack the permissions to fix.

I meant it a more general sense as anyone involved with the software development life cycle, but I see your point, good catch

The first step towards privatizing an industry is eroding public confidence in the existing program. They have absolutely no intention of improving the program, they just want to make it shitty enough that people stop believing in it. Once that happens, 45 will start shilling, and some lucky company will swoop in and take it over.

Textbook…

An unfortunate consequence of developers playing to the lowest common denominator of users for the last twenty years. Everything has been designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible for mobile, and troubleshooting skills have suffered as a result.

Not to mention that phones are crazy powerful and can do virtually everything these days, so fewer and fewer people are buying PCs.

If the general population is indeed “going backwards” in regards to tech literacy, it seems like demand for IT services is going to spike in the coming years. Good thing to keep in mind for young people choosing a career path!

Nice! Glad you got it sorted, happy printing!

The War Thunder video game forums have been host to over a dozen military intelligence “leaks” https://taskandpurpose.com/news/us-military-sensitive-info-war-thunder-leak/

When I had a similar issue to this I resolved it by adjusting my retraction settings, specifically retraction distance and speed. I think that may be the case here, as the layers most dramatically affected appear to be those with the most retractions taking place. Depending on the material and the style of printer you have (direct drive or Bowden) your settings will be different, but I would start by dropping the retraction distance and see how that changes things.

Which is exactly why when Einstein got the Nobel Prize when he discovered the photoelectric! Kind of a big deal when basically everything before that was turbine driven, as you mention.

Lol, well I’m guessing they’re just taking the weight, dividing it by grams (or whatever amount its usually sold to individuals in), and multiplying that by it’s “dose value”. So, for easy math, if 1g of coke goes for $100, and cops bust someone with a kilo (1000g), it becomes a million dollar bust when nobody would ever actually pay that much.

“Street value” /s

Made this for a friend for Christmas. It’s not a super detailed model or anything, but its probably my favorite. :)

Lolwut?

So… you accept a free, private jet ride, step off the plane, then bitch about your friend? The self righteous tone of your post was already giving me the “ick”, but to find out you took the ride anyway just shows you’re more interested in looking like someone who gives a shit, then someone who actually does…

Because developing a replacement for bees is certainly a better solution then saving the bees…

Technically it only counts if you stare intently at a three dimensional object while you do it and attempt to replicate it.

Keep in mjnd that in the US, downloading isnt the illegal part, its providing the file to others (seeding).

So, what, they all go to a landfill? Such horseshit that companies like this don’t have to clean up after themselves…
