Sure, but the point of this post is to highlight Bambu's anticonsumer practices.

I've been considering what printer to buy for a while now, but I sure as hell know it won't be a Bambu.

catch_unwind [...] does not guarantee the program is in a consistent state afterward, since Drop impls may have run partway through.

Wait, what? Any more details about this, I've never heard about that before. Partially run Drop impls sounds like a big potential for undefined behavior, how could catch_unwind possibly cause that?

EDIT: The more I read this article, the more AI-generated it looks and so I'm sort of wondering if the above quote is just complete bogus.

I think it was a very fair take on some of the issues that Linux has and totally get that they are partially staying on Windows for certain niches - hopefully those niches can be supported by Linux soon! I really resonate with the points that Linus brought up about the community. The community honestly often bites itself in the foot. People need to be more welcoming and saying "you don't need X" to someone literally asking for X is just rude and unhelpful. We need to acknowledge people's preferences and choices and their user experience.

he’ll never be able to put out those fires without you.

Why do you say that? I would guess that we are very few years away before we have AI systems monitoring for downtimes and such that can quickly diagnose and fix issues that occur completely automatically - in fact I would not be surprised if this already exists today.

Which model are you using? My experience is that it can definitely do "standard boilerplate". What programming language are you using?

It's clearly a controversial thing to say on the fediverse, but everyone must realize that AI is another tool - a sometimes faulty, sometimes great tool. A professional can use it well, a careless person can use it carelessly. But it is a tool that can help in certain cases. It's a nuanced thing, which many people unfortunately have trouble accepting. It has flaws, yes. It also has benefits. This shouldn't be controversial to say.

That of course doesn't guarantee that providing that tool must be profitable. It may well be that providing AI models is just too expensive to actually make sense, at least as it is right now.

I applaud you for that, but it sounds like you're admitting that Prusa is overpriced and that you can get equally good printers for cheaper elsewhere - is that correct or do you think otherwise?

I really couldn't care less about speed 😅. Dunno why so many printers advertise speed as a main selling point, I'd always choose high quality and reliable prints rather than speed. I guess it's important if you're running a printer farm or whatever, but I'm just looking to get the one printer.

Wow that original logo is pretty cool. The new one just looks like "KN".

Uh okay, substitute "logo" with "brand text", isn't the point the same? There used to be a variety of designs and now it's all the same and boring.

I'm not sure it's really applicable here. What I'm seeing in this picture is not an evolution from "Style A" to "Style B", it's more like an evolution from lots of diverse logos to a completely uniform design across the industry. It's not an evolution from one style to another, but more like a consolidation from unique logos to sameness.

I have a hard time seeing them diversifying again. Maybe someone will change but then the others might just follow suite.

I hope you're right but I'm not sure it's really as set in stone as you make it sound.
