Re:Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract on Tuesday May 12, 2026 @04:23PM (#48114010)
Bambu has the slicer (orca, bambu) download a plugin (owned and written by bambu, closed source.) which is what the controversy is about.

They had that chance to create proper auth and api for years and many developers and myself have been asking for it. Never happened, and I suspect will never happen.

Voron isn't a company, nor are they after a profit, all designs are 100% opensource. Sovol runs on a profit and uses opensource designs to run their products.

> At the end, it boils down to money: there are tons of ads on Notepad++ website, so having a competitive offering like "Notepad++ for Mac" threatens that business strategy.

Tons of ads? Really? I had to turn off my adblocker to check, but there is a single ad block on the bottom left. Is that considered a ton?

is there even a reason to use axios?
But you won't. Let's be real here. Yeah, lets gently remind ai spammers that they are truly helping but submitting bogus Issues, PRs, bug bounties, or whatever. Just like scammers from fake call centers, they are only in it for the money and hoping one hit sticks.
They are not contributors, they are spammers. There is a difference. Do you reply to spammers with friendly greetings?

The U1, so far, is looking to be a great printer. No idea on long term, but you will not find another toolchanger at that low of a price.

That is mostly true, PLA is ONLY biodegradable in a facility that can handle that. Your run of the mill recycling center in your city probably can't or won't take your PLA prints.

It seems to be pirated icon packs. see the other comment in this same parent comment.

From the little research I did, they do appear to certain block apps.

Sell it to an ad agency.
Re:Plane crashed after 3D-printed part collapsed on Thursday December 04, 2025 @04:31PM (#46153374)
It kind of is, a better metric is HDT (Heat Deflection Temperature), and it is based on curve usually load over temp.
Re:Plane crashed after 3D-printed part collapsed on Thursday December 04, 2025 @04:27PM (#46153327)
Plastics under load have a lower Tg.
Re:Plane crashed after 3D-printed part collapsed on Thursday December 04, 2025 @04:25PM (#46153301)
Polymaker's ABS is dubious too because it is blended with PETG. They are coming out with a Pro version that has a higher Tg and requires way higher chamber temps to print properly.
Re:Plane crashed after 3D-printed part collapsed on Thursday December 04, 2025 @04:18PM (#46153216)
Lower, according to the report

"Two samples from the air induction elbow were subjected to testing, using a heat-flux differential scanning calorimeter, to determine their glass transition temperature. The measured glass transition temperature for the first sample was 52.8°C, and 54.0°C for the second sample"

Yeah, they might have used ABS-CF filament, but unless they got it from a good brand that uses good resin and proper printing parameters, the actual Tg will be lower, plus the stress from the vibration/load could have made the part fail if it was not for the heat later in flight.

Yes, because they don't own the assets.

Good thing I already moved away from gh to a selfhosted Forgejo instance.

Any reason why this isn't just an extension instead of another fork?
That's awesome. I used VLC only because of the nightmare of codecs back in the day, and worked well for me for ages. I now just use mpv with some UI plugins.

VPN for accessing your endpoints can only end in pain for both your clients and your company. Are your endpoints not protected by oauth?
Gonna hard to justify win10 if certain apps/games whatever is only supported in win10. the obvious answer is Linux, but we already know the story there.
I went through some of these and the one that stood out to me was this one

https://hackerone.com/reports/2823554

Where the reporter says, "Sorry didnt mean to waste anyones time Badger, I thought you would be happy about this.".

People using LLMs think they are helping but in reality, they are not.
