I can print to my Bambu printer locally by using LAN only or an SD card, not sure why you think I need their cloud to print at all.

Also https://orca-slicer.com/ is not offline, some kind of a fork of it is offline.

Completely disagree. 100% disagree. If I need something that my printer from Bambu cannot do I will get another printer. For what I need it though it is great and keeps me from *wasting* time. My time is what is important to me more than money.

I like their products. I just want printing without fuss and without having to learn every detail about leveling, etc. Their product works for me and I do not care about its openness, it is about as important for what I need it as my headphones being open sourced (not at all). So this product is for my use case, not for people who want to control every aspect of their printer and every software feature.

IF they decide to make it prohibitively expensive to operate their hardware, then I will go back to a less capable hardware kit.

Match fixing is a thing but in the major sports, the TV revenue is larger than betting revenue by several orders of magnitude.

If it's regular sports betting, then people aren't winning because of insider information.

Actually 76.5% isn't very good. I expected it to be higher.

Americans on average want increased benefits and lowered taxes.

That may seem like a contradiction, and it is; but anyone who increases taxes or lowers benefits gets voted out of office. Even Trump gave up getting rid of Obamacare.

Note they didn't ask people to stop submitted AI code. They asked people to stop submitting AI slop.

Presumably if the code produced is high quality, they will be willing to accept it.

It's a smart strategy IF you don't mind of your most competent employees leave first. At Facebook with its current strategy they might be ok with that.

Most of their good employees left a while ago anyway.

All that and you still can't help bragging about how many people you've managed.

This is not news that matters. Normally I don't complain, but...

That's why you're not climbing the corporate ladder. Get more people under you ASAP. Learn to fight off your rivals. Or stay down.

Wrong. Managers are always scheming to get as many people below them as possible. Claiming savings is an effective short-term strategy that only works in specific circumstances, and it only works as a strategy when it results in more people below you on the org tree.

So true. Same with programming languages, too. Good engineers solve problems in the constraints they are given.
