The OP seems to think that if it's not styled with photo-realistic physically based rendered materials, it's crappy graphics. BOTW and TOTK and SSBB have some super clever graphics tricks to produce a highly complex environment, but because it's toon styled it's easy to overlook the little touches if all you like are PBR games. Witcher3 runs fine, albeit the 720p is a challenge for some game ports to fit, for UI and for finer details. Now, the Pokemon games, that's a fair cop: the graphics are amateurish and lazy, but that's not the platform's fault at all.

Stratasys was not worried at Prusa's scale or level of tech, but is clearly rattled at Bambu's. Speed and motor shaping and network management make them more viable for small industry. I see several print labs buying 50 Bambu instead of 1~5 Stratasys, and making their customers happy.

Comment Maintenance on Android sucks (Score 4, Insightful) 28

I guess I shouldn't be shocked by the idea that a little matured utility app had a team of ten or more people. I put out a couple Android utilities years ago, and found out first-hand just how annoying maintenance on Android sucks. It felt like a treadmill, with incessant API changes, Google Play rule changes (both technical and non-technical), various hacks required for a dozen new quirky phone models each cycle, and so on. I lost all energy for adding features, and never made more than a trickle of lunch money for it because everyone expects apps to be free.

Comment Re: No, this is just Musk channeling Trump. (Score 2) 47

Each share gets a vote (simplified, some can have multipliers or be non-voting). If you don't vote, your shares' votes are assumed in line with the Board's recommendations, which is why an independent Board is important. You can assign your shares' votes to a proxy who will vote per their own logic of what's best for the company. Muskmelon's Board are all sycophants. So it's rigged in that most non-institutional shareholders are going to throw away their vote to his own egotistical desires.

Comment Just another layoff without the layoff rules (Score 1) 78

Want to lay people off without those pesky reporting processes and oversight? Well, now you can! Sure, some countries would call it "constructive dismissal" and apply worker protections, but this is a rootin' tootin' Texas company who knows how to stretch loopholes bigger than State Highway 45.

How do I add this app I downloaded to my favorites/launchbar/desktop?

Ok, create a text file? With all these lines of jargon? And hardcoded absolute paths? Can I at least use environment variables? No? Done, I guess. Oh, link that file so it's in two places, that makes sense. Oh, link the icon too?

Why isn't there a right-click-executable,-make-all-this-for-me?
