Exactly why I use browser and not apps, too. and if they try to strongarm me with better prices or degraded services, I just stop using them all together.

how is everyone remembering their ICQ number?

I forgot mine 5 minutes after adding it to Trillian.

Like I said, its intentional. Nothing to fix because its doing exactly what they want. Cause they want you to install the app, which they have much greater control over and ability to harvest from.

its cause of the stupid way mega downloads file to your ram, and only when its fully downloaded does it get moved to the drive or something along those lines, its been a while since i’ve looked into it.

Its megas limitation by intentionally doing shit a stupid way then blaming the browser for it.

Congratulations and Welcome to the Wild and Wonderful World of Gorilla Facts.

Todays Daily Fact.

Did you know that Gorillas posess a Baculum? It is a bone inside their penis. They are one of many animals to posess a Baculum!

And that has been your daily Gorilla Fact. Stay Tuned Tomorrow!

How can you use the internet then? The internet is like a mirror, you have to have a soul to use it.

whose soul do you have and how did you steal it from them?!

Excellent write up. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

What is this lie-nucks you speak of?

I miss those early days.

Computers were weird magic boxes with all kinds of zany and crazy shit you could put in them.

Games were just graphically impressive enough to lose yourself in, while not needing a super computer to run them.

The internet was a curiousity for nerds and not a corprotized information hoover adpocalypse hellscape for the exploitation of the masses.

then i guess the studios should stop enshitifying streaming and make a service thats affordable and worth using, huh?

The entire system exists for the benefit of business, not customers.

Just look at what happens with accused theft in a store. You get accused of theft? Cops are there in no time, take you to the ground, throw you in the back of the cop car. only after they’ve gotten the humiliation and brutalization in might someone come and take your proof that you didnt steal anything.

You accuse the store of stealing from you? Due to not following their own policy on returns, or overcharging and an item and not fixing it Police won’t even show. just tell you its a civil matter and to suck it up.

I dont subscribe to any streaming service (except the occasional free prime trial, to be full disclosure), not even the one in the news story… but I can still answer your question…

Because I want to pay a single service to watch everything. Like Netflix used to be. Watch everything I want, for one monthly price that was reasonable.

But its not like that anymore. Every company looked at how well Netflix used to do, went “Fuck them! I want all that money for my self!” and took their content off Netflix, and made their own streaming services.

Now if you want to consume any media, You have to subscribe to 50 different subscription services, for hundreds of dollars a month, Which is just Cable 2.0 but with worse service and options.

It harmed no one and nothing.

TV and Film are just angry that competition did it for a reasonable price and provided a superior service for it.

someone alert the FAA, we got a low flying woosh here.

Is it immoral to harm them? Yes, its bad to harm anyone.

Do I give the slightest fuck about them being victims? Hell no.

Why?

Because, to be short about it, my give a fuck is reserved for innocent people. Not for hateful bigots, terrorists, and enemies of the state who want to overthrow our democratic way of life in favor of having a rotten jackolantern as a mentally declining god emperor.

Watching them get fucked in the way they’ve tried to fuck everyone else give me the same delight as watching gas station robbers be met with a shotgun from the clerk and earn an emergency trip to the surgical suite via the ER.

Going after the reporters is classic facebook tactics.

Remember when they were presented with proof of rampant CSM trading on facebook, they called the police and reported the reporter as a pedophile? All to try and shut down the coverage?

But couldnt be bother to report any of their CSM trading groups or users to the police?

Fair, you do need some basic safety gear in addition to being able to exhaust it out a window, namely gloves, goggles and maybe a respirator, which might blow your budget if you dont already have any of that (and anything gloves/goggles used for resin should stay with the resin printer to avoid cross contamination).

But I did want to mention it since your main example is Minis, which is very detail oriented.

You do need some special precautions with resin, namely a well ventilated area (or exhaust it out a window or something), gloves, goggles and maybe a respirator depending on resin type. But basic safey practices mitigate any of the health concerns or dangers.

Resin is a fine entry point if what they are printing is not only very detailed, but something they want to print multiples of. FDM can do amazing detail, but Resin can do it far better, and with less time investment. But as I said in my original post, FDM can do good enough detail with time and dialing if they are gonna be printing things besides detail oriented miniatures as well.

Just takes dialing. I printed minis on my E3Pro without much issue(after dialing in of course) with pretty good detail (even the handles for the warhammers and swords came through acceptably)

Definitely wouldnt get FDM if all you are printing is minis though.

Creality has never had anything decent for support for their Printers.

The support comes from the community., and third party retailers

Ender 3 is a very competent platform, and capable of printing a lot of stuff from large functional prints down to wargaming miniatures (I have a Ender 3 Pro thats fairly modded, and I’ve printed stuff from both extremes of the scale), If you are going to be printing a variety of things then I think its a solid buy for you, but you will have to deal with figuring out the right nozzle size, slicer settings, model position and supports for it, to get smaller prints to come out well (Remember, FDMs best detail resolution is on the left/right/front/back, it doesnt have as much detail in the up and down, so you have to position detailed models accordingly). And even at the finest details you might have layer lines that show up once you throw paint on, but they typically only really stand out if you hold it up right to your face… On a wargaming table, for example, no one would most likely ever notice.

If your prints are mostly going to be small, and detail oriented, then I would suggest a Resin printer if you can swing it. It will give you significantly higher detail, and if you print multiple at once, save a lot of time as well. Cause with resin, it doesnt matter if you are printing one or a dozen at once, it still the same speed as one. Unlike FDM.

as a last piece of advice… A good 3d printer is expensive. Whether you pay that price up front in cash, Or you pay it in time tinkering and experimenting, Is up to you. Ender 3 is cheap cash wise, but You’ll spend some time tinkering, and dialing, to get the best out of it.
