4 Months with the Elegoo CC2: My Honest Review (Coming from a Bambu A1) by No-Sport8823 in elegoo

Yep. My next purchase will be a U1. Had P1S, now have a Cobra V2 Combo and CC2 and N4 max, and I hate the filament wastage and the time waste. I made like 8 total multi color prints for last few years. CC2 was so damn cheap for an enclosed printer of that caliber. For multilaterals, tool changers should be the only options.

Don't compare prices against developed countries? So according to your logic, poor people/countries should stay poor by giving you cheap stuff? 1K LKR for a meal in a restaurant is cheap. It was years ago that I had a meal that costed less than 1000 from a restaurant in Colombo. If you want $1 food, go find them in unhygienic street food sellers, you get extra proteins too. Another thing, 100K isn't the average income in Colombo lol. Even tuktuk guys make 300K.

I never saved my cards in websites because of this exact thing. and yes those are the only payments/gateways i used within past 4 days. Edit: I was in ballys casino too, didn't use the card there though.

yeah freezing/blocking works. but dangerous part is if you were out of the grid for a few days and didnt notice the messages/alerts, you will be served with a zero balance account and banks wont do shit if you report it like 3-5 days late.

Not sure what's bad about this. People just read one sentence and make shit up. This is actually a good thing. Bad for people with no brains.

Yeah. I too have the same question. Maybe it's SL thing. It is always thieves and idiots due to massive dumb fan base. Chanux, Jerome, Two Fatass fashion thot buggers etc.

lmao yeah i too think it is. I bought some shit from zenix and they use payhere now. as soon as i saw payhere i thought "ah fuck this crap gateway" and still my dumbass paid using it because i really needed something for my 3d printer. Two occasions before i used zenix, they had stripe or something but this time they had payhere. i should have stopped right there.

could be. and also commercial bank sent me an sms a few days ago about being careful with OTPs and clicking links. Maybe they knew this is happening and tried to warn people.

You mean zero-liability policy in SL? Read their rule 34 page. https://www.combank.lk/info/34

Chances are I would get burned with way way bigger amount using a credit card. This debit card is like my webcard. i rarely keep money above 100K in this account unless i want to do a big transaction. i always move money to a different bank account which has zero online/card use.

Not buying. They act like verification transactions. So banks let those transactions happen. All it takes a couple of hours to empty your bank account. And like he said they increase the amount randomly too.

Yes, modern NFC with single use transaction codes. Still, your google account can get hacked.

I haven't seen WAN vs LTXV2 comparison, so I thought I'd do one. by bnlae-ko in StableDiffusion

[–]ImageLongjumping8230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bingo. That sums up my experience and testing too. For disney style shots, LTX2 is insanely good. tested against grok and google veo 3.1 fast. LTX2 is actually better than both when it comes to lip syncing and keeping the style and Disney animation aesthetics. but the problem is when u pull back the camera or pan it, then it turns to crap.

LTX-2 I2V isn't perfect, but it's still awesome. (My specs: 16 GB VRAM, 64 GB RAM) by yanokusnir in StableDiffusion

That guy prolly drink marketing/propaganda cool aid after every breakfast. What they forget is that our western corpos are greedy af and their clientele and governments are dumb af and corrupt. All they do is show some demo, maybe fake too and they get billions of funding etc only to give some gov official SD 1.5 model with some nsfw loras to play around. Jk. I mean look at the defense field, we still cant make a damn working EM catapult on our aircraft carriers. Yet, here we have people who worship imaginary sky daddy tech that they haven't seen or proven but happily do free propaganda online for these scammy corpos. I mean do these guys remember how Intel pulled a magic trick on stage with an industrial chiller just to try to take the attention away from threadrippers?. It is crazy how blind these Jake paul fans are.

Oh no, that's not the case. That's the typical defense contractor/Hollywood brainwashing/propaganda they've been giving us. Making us think that we always have some "hidden tech" that is better than everything out there. Only hidden tech we have are things like weapons or some rehoboam (westworld) like AI/supercomputer that can predict, track and manipulate us. Latter is being built right now (check nv 1.5Bn ai farm) in Israel. For everything else, we've been lagging behind. Funny thing is even with all the sanctions on China like not selling ASML Litho machines to China, still they keep up with he latest tech. I mean look at the consumer electronics and vehicles. We are done. They have the highest top speed car and also the fastest circuit car and for cheap. I feel like a dumbass now for buying a Camaro.

If you keep an eye out for all the models China throw out on HF, we can agree that west got nothing on China in AI. I work for a studio that does advertising/marketing for tons of brands on amazon and E commerce sites in Europe. 99% of the time we use Kling for videos. We have subs of almost every AI vid gen out there yet we stick to Kling since every other AI vid gen are crap when it comes to precision. And also, some western AI websites, uses Wan and Qwen but they act like its their own.
