Seconded

Oh I usually block the ads via a pihole and don’t even bother logging in. Tubi is great

Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

So this has been true of YouTube Red since the beginning. It’s one if the reasons I got it. But they use watch time as the way to divide your money out. It actually makes it extremely unfair split for people that make great but short content. It’s also why longer content became more popular around that time and those 24/7 streams run like that.

Also why creators started doing channels of just padded run time content of like building legos and eating things. It’s to secure better and funding.

The current setup is pretty busted and feels like the wheels are coming off again.

Yea I agree with so much of what you are saying, China gets a pass to distribute cheap dangerous crap cause at least it was cheaper for the middle man selling it.
But also:

Enmasse its another French loan word.

Oh, ew.

Thanks for the correction but also that’s… About right for America and billionaires.

Just allowed in to fuck with people, hack phones, steal money and leave.

So that explains Fox being owned by an Australian then?

That’s a cool idea. I was gonna suggest TPU

Yeah, the people leading the “AGI will save us” are the same as super church pastors.
They don’t believe it, they just want their bank account limitless before they go into oblivion.

Same but if you point out the personal risk to health to people they are usually more likely to respond, unfortunately.

And hey likely the same crowd that would be reckless with solvents.

Yeah I will say the idea that SLA is a totally fine printing option for general hobbyists really doesn’t do justice to the fact that you are basically doing factory production work in your house that often requires extensive PPE and washing stations when done for business.

They are harsh chemicals and people definitely aren’t even disposong of them correctly most of the time.

I really love how many of the buttons in settings either open an edge web page where Microsoft shrugs at you or just opens the control panel for you to actually get something done…

But hey when I need to turn off transparency effects cause it’s making all my taskbar icons disappear every time I swap desktops the new settings page works great. Sometimes.

God they needed actual competition. Or something.

That’s like actually the next line though.

“Amerika, coco-cola, wonderbra”

Its the actual joke that they have all the same products.

That came after the us government pushed the swedish government

🎶 We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar 🎵

Would you say it’s worth it for $300 for a ender 5 with the sonic pad? Cause yeah that lack of support seems like the dumbest thing about this printer.

Yeah I had a friend build one out of like balsa wood and a couple CD trays and the rest of us were stunned… And not very impressed after like 5 minutes which a shame cause it really was a beginning stop that showed what was possible.

I am definitely less into making those kinds of jank printers just cause the costs were never quite zero, and we have so much better options.

My first printer was a self built reprap from parts from aliexpress in college.

I then helped fund peachy on kickstarter and a stupid poured resin counterweighted printer called the Phoenix.

I then had an Geeetech A10M, a Prusa Mk2 and ender 3, as well as one resin printer.

All I have left is the Prusa mk2 that hasn’t worked right for over a year and doesn’t print anything.

I would buy a new printer in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

I definitely have never made back my money. To many dumb purchases and early generation jank all over the place but it was fun. The first thing I ever did with my first hand built printer was make a lithopane of my deceased dog and eventually my grandfather.

I’ve made so many stupid things and spent so much time on it as a hobby that it filled my days with activities, reason to communicate with others and frustrating nights all alike. Its not for everyone and its not really a good idea but if you have the means or like a hobby of tinkering and building in the modern world there is very little experience like it.

Just doing my part with the updoots!

Yeah I immediately thought of the funding bar for gold back in the day.

It was honestly fine. Made sense. Showed if they had made enough revenue to cover costs and let you make a personal choice beyond that.

Oh man that’s an idea that if they didn’t have before I bet they do now.
