RealID is so important to security, it can't be used to prove you are a U.S. citizen. So says DHS, the people administering the RealID program.

Also, anything sounds big when you put it in gallons. Doesn't sound so big when you mention that's 92 acre feet, the amount used by less than 20 acres / 8 hectares of alfalfa per year. Or when you mention that a typical *closed loop* 1GW nuclear reactor uses 6-20 billion gallons of cooling water per year (once-through uses 200-500 billion gallons, though most of that is returned, whereas closed loop evaporates it)

I don't think it has anything to do with that. As soon as I saw the headline, my mind went "cohort study". And sure enough, yeah, it's a cohort study. Remember that big thing about how wine improves your health, and then it turned out to just be that people who drink wine tend to be wealthier and thus have better health outcomes? And also, the "sick quitter" effect, where people who are in worse health would tend to stop drinking, so you ended up with extra sick people in the non-wine group? Same sort of thing. This study says they're controlling for a wide range of factors, but I'd put money on it just being the same sort of spurious correlations.

"I just put my models on a usb drive then plug said drive into the printer."

You must have a lot of spare time on your hands.

"It works great locally" - Um, no it doesn't?

They've made a nice easy-to-use ecosystem. For $400 you can get a P1S that supports adding an AMS, auto bed leveling, enclosed-chamber printing, high precision, high print speeds, and 300/100C nozzle/plate temps, and has an easy cloud print service and a robust ecosystem of models you can just download and print with no extra config straight from the app.

But yeah, their behavior is increasingly entering bad-actor territory. I wonder how long it'll be before they lock entry-level printers into their branded filament?

And should be treated as such.

No enterprise concerns if you can just tick a policy box.

And for home users, people who don't know what GPO is let alone have access to it? They're just screwed, aren't they?

There was no issue until Israel drug the U.S. by the nose into a war it can't win.

Remind everyone again who it is that keeps attacking its neighbors claiming "self defense" then whines it's the victim? Or who has been saying another country is "two weeks away" from nuclear weapons for the past 40 years?

You had the opportunity and blew it. Here is what you should have used:

Microsoft pays its employees so well.

Just like all those other programmers people say deserve their rich salaries.

You can't go after the manufacturers because 1) they're outside of your jurisdiction,

If they sell a product in your state, they're under the state's jurisdiction. It's why states can ban products or require safety features from manufacturers who sell in those states.

2) their products are likely legal in half of the world (e.g. Asia/Africa).

So? You think car manufacturers don't have different models for different parts of the world?

Might I remind you that the Democrats held onto the Epstein files and refused to release any of them during a Presidential election

The Supreme Court ordered the records sealed until after the election. That was thanks to Trump's Supreme Court picks.

Might I also remind you the infamous wife of Bill Clinton the island hopper, ran her own email server that 'accidentally' fell into a vat of Bleachbit.

Which was investigated and found not to be illegal, just poor judgement. Just like Colin Powell had done. But let us not mention all the use of personal email to conduct official government business being done by the regime right now. Or the use of Signal which conveniently doesn't store information.

No one is believing Demoncrap lies anymore.

In your ranting you misspelled a word. The word you were looking for was Repedo. The ones who seemingly every day are in the news for diddling kids.

(And yeah, it was a fun degree. Just a BA :) Decided to go back to school for a second degree on a topic that had long been of interest to me)

DNN-based, like nearly all modern AI. Not Transformers, as far as I'm aware.
