“Striking new design”

looks like every other phone on the market

“Shit, what was I supposed to do?”

Why is Jeep listed as an American brand when they’re owned by a company from the Netherlands?

Why wouldn’t you break it down into brands like this?

What about when they grow from the middle out? We are Americans after all.

My local headshops all carry these in stock so OP should go check their local shop out. I think you’d just need to match the diameter.

Do you think our tax bills will drop if they succeed in forcing these million employees to quit?

They said they want to run the government like a business, and it looks like that’s what they’re pursuing. Unfortunately, that just means they’ll give us the lowest quality service at the highest possible price.

Trying to force people to use a cloud account just to get functionality of the piece of hardware they already paid for with no technical reason behind it whatsoever is ludicrous.

There is a technical reason behind it which is integration with MakerWorld and being able to browse files from there and send them to the printer remotely from your phone or other device along with being able to watch a live feed of your print and control the printer.

Again, I won’t argue against the whole privacy aspect as I get it, but I just don’t really think it’s a big deal or something of consequence if we’re simply talking about 3D prints. They do have the option to use them locally now, but apparently this doesn’t include all their models (which you may have mentioned already or it was someone else).

Well the above commentor assumed you live in the US.

Why because you’d rather waste a year waiting to see whose going to genocide harder instead of demanding it end now?

Grrr! English strikes again!

“Deepfakes” are edited pictures of real people. I’d be more inclined to agree with you on completely AI generated images but not something specifically intended to deceive others into thinking they’re viewing a real person’s image.

This latest aid convoy was also forced to abandon their planned departure time and route by the Israeli military and told to go early and on an unfamiliar route where they wound up getting attacked and hijacked. This was so obviously planned out by Israel.

The IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

This was part of the Bank Secrecy Act and the PATRIOT Act passed by Bush and later again by Obama.

This isn’t something you’ll be able to determine in the moment. It will only be clear in hindsight.

The true fight for our democracy by the working/middle class hasn’t even started yet.

Seems like we’ll need to form our own political party if we want any representation because we’re certainly not getting it from either one of these two dominate parties.

I had some commentor reply to me saying Republicans would bring about “accelerated genocide” as the reasoning why Republicans are worse for Palestine than Democrats. It’s weird doublespeak that harkened back to Bush and his “enhanced interrogation” terminology. Apparently “genocide” is fine but “accelerated genocide” is something to fear. To the victims, I’m sure it all looks exactly the same.

There’s nothing to say that they can’t prevent your slicer from slicing some object the CCP has deemed should not be printed, or remotely brick your printer, or just simply refuse to allow their slicer software to connect to it anymore.

Seems like it’s at least somewhat related to being a Chinese company since you’re mentioning the CCP. I won’t argue that these aren’t things to be conscious of, but I think these fears seem overblown.

I do support open source projects, but I don’t feel like they really enabled me to do anything I can’t do now with the X1C in the 3.5 years of printing prior to owning this thing and the performance/experience has been so much better.

Qidi is also a Chinese company so what’s the difference? Most printers come from Chinese companies outside of companies like Prusa.

Sounds like personal projection. You okay, buddy?
