Paradox

Doh. Forgot we were actually up to pixel 10 phones, and thought it was a new 10" tablet

Given how Google has treated every other tablet it’s ever made or endorsed, you’re a moron if you buy this

t. Owner of a Xoom and Nexus 10

Any puzzle made by Oskar van Deventer. He’s got a ton of them, they’re all free, and he posts YouTube videos about them all

And frankly, there’s not really too much I want to do that the x1c can’t presently do, so there’s minimal need to go buy a big new expensive printer, or build one

Yeah I’m keeping eyes on the voron.

My next printer must have the following, else it’s not much of an upgrade

• Multiple extruders or changeable tool heads
• 500mm^3 print volume
• Actively heated enclosure
• Lidar and auto tramming
• Ams like thing
• Full opensource
• Core xy. Not interested in a bed slinger

Apparently the h2d is crippled if you use offline mode. No cutter or laser support

This is what I was always afraid of. With the x1c they didn’t really take away any hardware features if you put it offline and so the trade-off was acceptable. But locking you out of the physical hardware that you’ve purchased is a whole new story. Kind of like the dishwashers that require an app to do a rinse cycle.

For what the h2d costs you can get an awful lot of printer from a different brand

Fwiw the open source scene literally got started because of a printer

It’s giving me serious pause when looking at things like the new Bambu printer

I really like my x1c, but I haven’t upgraded it’s firmware yet, and probably never will, because the local features are just too good. I know I can replace a lot of the bambu cloud features with octoanywhere, but I shouldn’t have to

Nope, they still use bog standard gCode, but they do have some custom commands for things that are unique to the printer

You can run and save custom gCode on Bambu printers. I’ve got a cold pull script that lives happily on my x1c, and can be triggered any time

And even the closed source nature is only partially so. The x1c already has x1+ firmware, and they just made their own custom expansion board to go with the custom firmware.

If it’s your first printer, the Bambu a1 will give you a ridiculous amount of bang for your buck. I’d highly recommend it

We seriously need a way to sandbox apps, where they cant see shit outside their sandbox

These smart watches are garbage. Even Apple watches have rather short lifetimes

My Garmin is going strong 5 years later, and I’ve got no incentive to upgrade

Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets

Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

Can’t wait for them to never roll it out

Kagi generated key points:

• The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
• The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
• The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
• The network has “aggregation by default” as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
• The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user’s home address.
• Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
• The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
• Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
• The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android’s vulnerability rewards program.
• Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

After getting burnt by both the Google endorsed Xoom and the Google branded Nexus 10, I don’t trust them at all when it comes to tablets.

With both, Google released good products, and then proceeded to ruin them with abhorrent changes to the software. They made the Nexus 10 dump it’s tablet interface in favor of a big phone UI ffs.
