PLA is the filament used for printing the 3D printed parts

What kind of PLA is he using that’s only 17USD for 1.5kg?

I mean, pattern recognition in insanely large datasets is exactly what AI systems we have today are good at, which is also what the article talks about, and the issues and risks this poses in a war. yes, in a military context it enables tactical decisions to be made faster, and war kills people so not really a big eye opener there, however still horrible.

But this ability to analyze datasets that are basically too large for humans to efficiently condense to something meaningful is still valuable in many other aspect outside of military, killing and surveillance (although this is where it is used most extensively it seems)

If anyone I don’t know, including banks, police, government officials etc. called out of the blue and ask me to join a video call, I’d just hang up. That just screams “scam” in your face.

So not free at all

Aah, the mark of a true redditeur 👌

It is not “well established”, your own link only lists it as one possibility out of several, and is by no means conclusive.

also from your source:

Limited time and resources: Another theory suggests that people with low food security have limited time, knowledge, and resources to engage in healthy eating and exercise.

This is a highly complex issue, and cost doesn’t seem to be the main driver at all, definitely not conclusively.

No if course not, but that is something entirely different than cost being the issue

Exactly, so obesity is not a cost issue

I don’t know where you live, but where I live junk is stupid fucking expensive compared to veggies, and an increasing number of people are still overweight. A single 300-350g frozen pizza will set you back at least 6EUR, I can easily buy fresh veggies for a meal to feed a family of 4 people for 12EUR, less if you try to save money. I simply don’t buy in to the whole cost premise being the reason.

Nothing man, and he’s all out of ideas!

Aah…the Bezos-mobile

Amazfit watches are a nightmare to pair with gadgetbridge, getting the auth key necessary to pair them is a completely ridiculous process.

I mean…if there is no grid frequency detected it automatically breaks connection between the house and the grid and keeps supplying the house from the panels and batteries. When it detects grid frequency again it reconnects the house to grid. It’s a fairly simple concept.

They detect incoming frequency, not voltage. And yes, they absolutely detect the difference, I have one, it works exactly like this.

Oh you can buy off grid inverters (or inverters capable of “island mode”). But they are required to be able to automatically disconnect from grid, even if they are never going to be connected to a grid. You can’t buy solar inverters without this for the exact reason that you can connect them to grid.

So you can’t buy raw solar panels or inverters in Germany?

Sure you can. Solar panels will be fried by grid voltage more or less immediately if you connect them directly to a wall socket and become useless.

You cannot buy a PV inverter in Germany (entire EU really) that doesn’t automatically shut off if it doesn’t detect a frequency to sync against from it’s AC side, unless it can run off-grid in which case it has to disble the grid connection within the same 20ms.

I think I would go for refurbished/used 12tb drives or bigger if money allows. I put 3x12tb in my server 2 years ago and thought I would have more than enough space for a long time…I did not.

What would USB stand for in this? Under Sheets Buddy?

The seller is only responsible for checking that the product is legal, not whether or not the information and documentation provided by the manufacturer is falsified. In this case, if a game dev accepts that they of course have all the necessary licenseses for game assets (which valve definitely has a clause with), then valve has done their part. If it turns out the manufacturer mislead them, it’s the manufacturer who’s in trouble, not the seller.
