I’ll almost guarantee you any “free” or otherwise unlicensed/amateur spectrum is going to be turned into commercial spectrum. Not only do they get to sell and trade it for billions more, but it also conveniently let’s them shut down any form of non-corporate, decentralized communications channels that might let the Poors get a little too organized.

NIST about to sell this as a $2,900 standardized reference item just like the peanut butter

It’s legal boilerplate.

is somebody really expected check the ToS of the server the community they’re posting in is on,

Technically yes. Practically nobody does.

IMO having the ability to do TPU is way more versatile than going to another rigid structural filament.
ABS/ASA is just “pla but more impact resistant”.
TPU is “haha funny squishy wait this turns into a living hinge?” and opens up a TON of print opportunities.
I had a lot more fun trying out TPU (both high and low durometers) than switching to any other kind of filament. Whatever you print basically becomes shockproof l, is squishy/bendy, and you can chuck it across a room full-force with no problems. Super fun.

However, TPU is happiest with a direct drive extruder. High durometer (95a) TPU’s are fine, but not optimal, in bowden extruders, while low durometer (Ninjaflex) straight up won’t print right thru a bowden. So keep your type of printer in mind when shopping for spools of test filament.

Khan Academy

I started an internship as a sophomore in college with a local manufacturing corp. Did part time there while going full time for my mech.E bachelor’s.degree. I originally planned to only be there a year, but it ended up working out that I stayed all the way thru graduation doing a variety of jobs in their r&d labs as an assembly tech, CNC machinist, and also a CAD drafter. About 6mo before graduating I applied for an open product engineer position and was able to roll into working full time right after, have been there for about a year and a half ish now.

I was able to graduate with some savings and a high paying job, I basically hit the fucking jackpot.

Their achieved accuracy was +/- 1.5km and +/- 2m/s

Which is an improvement in of itself. That improves flying craft navigation to and from the moon into something significantly easier to automate and coordinate between multiple ships, more than ballistic dead reckoning.

I mean I was thinking like when you’re flying on a plane and you get to your destination after 5 hours. You probably go use the bathroom in the airport almost the first thing. I guess lemmy can’t think that far ahead though

The biggest thing they did to kill it was banner ads in the client. The second those showed up, all my friends and myself instantly jumped to the new, fledgling Discord.

I am not gonna lie, I tried two or three separate times and was never able to get a sign up email to go through from multiple instances. I don’t know if Gmail has been black-holing them all to protect their interests or not, but I pretty much gave up.

If you’re fine buying slave-labor import, I found a “MECHEN M30 HiFi MP3 Player” on AliExpress for about $45 USD. Pretty good reviews all things considering. No wireless that I can tell, 256gb microSD support, headphone jack out.

These kinds of standalone “hifi” portable media players will be the only things that support memory cards and “no wireless” like you’re asking for. And even then a lot of them include Bluetooth, if not just for remote control support, as well as audio out.

If you read through it you can see the single diseased braincell that wrote this prompt slowly wading its way through a septic tank’s worth of flawed logic to get what it wanted. It’s fucking hilarious.

It started by telling the model to remove bias, because obviously what the braincell believes is the truth and its just the main stream media and big tech suppressing it.

When that didn’t get what it wanted, it tried to get the model to explicitly include “controversial” topics, prodding it with more and more prompts to remove “censorship” because obviously the model still knows the truth that the braincell does, and it was just suppressed by George Soros.

Finally, getting incredibly frustrated when the model won’t say what the braincell wants it to say (BECAUSE THE MODEL WAS TRAINED ON REAL WORLD FACTUAL DATA), the braincell resorts to just telling the model the bias it actually wants to hear and believe about the TRUTH, like the stolen election and trans people not being people! Doesn’t everyone know those are factual truths just being suppressed by Big Gay?

AND THEN,, when the model would still try to provide dirty liberal propaganda by using factual follow-ups from its base model using the words “however”, “it is important to note”, etc… the braincell was forced to tell the model to stop giving any kind of extra qualifiers that automatically debunk its desired “truth”.

AND THEN, the braincell had to explicitly tell the AI to stop calling the things it believed in those dirty woke slurs like “homophobic” or “racist”, because it’s obviously the truth and not hate at all!

FINALLY finishing up the prompt, the single dieseased braincell had to tell the GPT-4 model to stop calling itself that, because it’s clearly a custom developed super-speshul uncensored AI that took many long hours of work and definitely wasn’t just a model ripped off from another company as cheaply as possible.

And then it told the model to discuss IQ so the model could tell the braincell it was very smart and the most stable genius to have ever lived. The end. What a happy ending!

The preloaded spyware OS is half baked, horribly unfinished, and also locked to the hardware. You can work around it to install your own OS but they provide zero support and explicitly say it is not supposed to be allowed by ToS while intentionally making it as hard as possible by making the BIOS inaccessible and digitally signed to their own OS. Fuck that.

The crowdfunding fundraiser (where there are zero penalties if things are shipped broken, incomplete or not at all) is super fishy and the non-discount price is astronomical. While the hardware looks nice… Hard, hard pass right now, stinks of vendor lockin and illegal data vacuuming. Do not buy.
