I just saw this post but didn’t look any further into it than reading the title.

Switching is possible now, if you want. CoMaps builds have been released for a while, and are in f-droid I think since today? I have no idea about Google play store.

If you’re happy with osmand there’s no point to switching IMHO. It’s a much more simplified interface, so customization especially compared to the enormous options in osmand are relatively limited.

That being said it does work just as well, judging from the little use I’ve had.

While I agree with the most valuable users statement, I can’t imagine that is how they see it. Or that they even should realistically care from a purely financial standpoint. Most users buy their printers and just use them with whatever software came with them. And most of those didn’t even watch or read reviews. Or worse: they did, and possibly heard about the firmware and online thing and just didn’t care.

I disagree with your second part though. Voron is only relevant for the complete opposite end of the spectrum. People who are multi-discipline tinkerers (electronics, hardware, …) and capable and interested in building their own printer. Actual overlap with all Bambu customers is probably sub-1%. The commercial printers that are Voron-adjacent (inspired by or based on the design in some way) still have a different demographic and severely lack in software polish and especially out of the box experience. It isn’t remotely close. Even if they innovated over night and made it even with Bambu, there is nothing that would cause that to be actually relevant in the market without millions in marketing. They might be able to gain momentum, but only slowly and I highly doubt they can catch up to Bambu momentum even in years.

It’s also the only way they have to act against the change, which might cause enough users to protest, which might (temporarily) get Bambu to back out. Or delay at least. Probably not, but again it’s their only option.

If they go along with it, the users that could or would proper will just use Orca until inevitably Bambu also removes that possibility, then everyone is fucked anyway.

What percentage of Bambu users are using Orca? Single digit percentage? Maybe barely double digit? It’s probably not gonna change anything in the end. Clearly this has always been their plan.

I always thought their entire product strategy was clearly designed to be an eventually rug pull just like this, which is why I never got one. Other people that care about fully owning and controlling their devices probably didn’t either, or that number might be higher.

Can’t remember when it came into effect, but randomized device specific passwords are also mandatory in the EU now. This was relatively recently though. It means every single device (item, not model type or class) has to have an individual password (also usually it’s on a sticker or something).

And yes, connecting any ip camera to the Internet is just dumb.

Probably well over two decades ago or so.

That was the last time I owned a car.

No of course not, but if it’s run under proton/wine it doesn’t even have access to any normal files. When it’s run natively it does (documents and all that). I’m not saying it’s doing anything with this, or even that it would make sense.

Not in general. Typically, games with kernel level drm or anticheat just didn’t work at all.

Borderlands 2 specifically has a native Linux version though, and it may or may not abuse this fact. It isn’t run in a sandbox-like environment like Windows games that run through proton, but according to protondb it does run through proton? In any case yes, it’s probably better than running it on Windows.

Absolute zero issues with netcup (EU/de). Also comparatively cheap usually, and has frequent sales (always the same offers, afaict).

DNS is included with Domains, but I’m using desec.io as my DNS mainly for full dnssec compliance (free, de based, if registrations are open, works with certbot DNS challenge for letsencrypt).

I have no idea why you’re being down voted. The whole thing with flatpacks is that they come from a large number of individuals, maybe the author of the software, but often not from a central organization you can trust. That’s the fundamental difference to distro repos, who can just have a single anchor for trust.

Mindlessly signing something doesn’t increase security in any way. Then requiring it just means hassle to having to add keys to be trusted every time you want to install anything. Malicious actors can just create a key and sign the package as well. That’s the whole reason it isn’t required in the first place.

It’s a massive red flag. It implies that they are actually storing the password instead of a (preferably salted) hash and that they have no idea what good security practices are. Storing a hash leads to same size strings, no matter the length on the password.

Basically OpenWRT is for dedicated, purpose built hardware, highly compact and essentially “embedded”. OPNSense is for running a (potentially much more capable) firewall on x86/x64 (even if it’s a small specimen like N100 or whatever). They fill a somewhat different role.

I assume op is English speaking, but just fyi this doesn’t work in every language, would make things a lot simpler.

Witcher I thought was great. It’s what an open world RPG should be. Interesting individual/small stories, great over all story, and good gameplay/fighting (actually challenging, but not dark souls levels).

During some random sale I had bought rdr2 for PC (steam). At the end of my refund time of 2h I had enough and just refunded. I wanted to play a game not watch a movie with mandatory walking between scenes. The only gameplay was some tutorial-esque shooting practice.

I don’t know a single person who graduated “on time”. This may differ from country to country, but here the nominal times are just waaaay unrealistic. I’m sure it’s possible, but at least for me I would’ve missed many opportunities, and I’m glad I took the time.

This comes at the perfect time. I was thinking I’d have to find out how to run modloaders or managers on Linux, but I guess I got my answer right here. Thanks for posting!

The direct shortcut for opening task manager actually also had special handling for problematic situations. This includes low memory and high CPU.

I’ve had situations where the direct shortcut worked, but ctrl-alt-delete didn’t. Never had the opposite.

Had this open for a while now as the most recent tab I didn’t close. For the record there are 64 open tabs, this is just the most recent one.

Was gonna look into analytics and monitoring of opnsense, and because if I bookmark it I just forget about it, there’s a tab open. The other 63 tabs have a similar history…
