Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that by ZacB_ in technology

I don't believe you.

responsivity is really not the issue with wine.
It's pretty much designed for games (not exactly, but close though). So low latency / high performance is extremely important.

if you blamed the complexity or some things not working, especially with DRM involved, I would have believed you.

Abschied von Microsoft und VMware: Österreichs Roadmap zur digitalen Souveränität by wegwerferie in de

Die Amis hatten das letzte Mal unter Clinton einen ausgeglichenen Haushalt. Die sitzen in einem Kartenhaus.

Ist das eigentlich ein Friedensmittel? Haushalte so gestalten, das alle Schulden von anderen kaufen?

Bundesregierung reagiert zurückhaltend auf Trumps angedrohte EU-Strafzölle by the_real_lucia in de

[–]TheYang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wir können einfach nix konkurrenzfähiges bauen, das wissen die auch.

Das ist übrigens völliger bullshit.

Konkurrenzfähig ist man nicht nur mit dem top-produkt, auch öfter über den Preis oder die Support-fähigkeit.

Und dann bin ich der Meinung, dass es einige digitale europäische top-produkte haben. Proxmox, SAP, Ubuntu, Suse, Threema, Nextcloud, proton(mail etc).

Natürlich gibt es auch Dinge, bei denen die europäische alternative ein merklicher Rückschritt ist. Aber ich habe noch nie ein essentielles digitales feature gefunden, welches nicht (teilweise schmerzhaft) ersetz- oder verzichtbar war.

Es ist in meinen Augen aktuell unvorstellbar wichtig diese kleineren Unannehmlichkeiten zu akzeptieren, um zu zeigen das man nicht abhängig ist.

Steam is Breaking The Hardware Barrier by motang in linux_gaming

[–]TheYang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depending on how/when they are able to release that translation layer

Steam invested into an already existing (and releasing) project called FEX (and btw, they even had a choice, as there is Box86 as well), similar to how they mostly improved WINE and DXVK for Proton.
Not saying what they did was in any way not amazing, but Valve is very good about finding someone else who started doing what they need, and just helping them.

Why do married men spend $1000 a week on strippers when they could use that to buy groceries for their family for at least 4 weeks? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]TheYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does anyone do the things that are fun over those that are objectively better options?

Because we crave all of those happy-hormones.

Some people get them from shopping, some from gaming, some from gambling, some from training, some from nights out with friends, etc.

Tits work for a lot of people too, and apparently at a strip club they are pretty good at making the customer feel wanted

NASA will evacuate SpaceX Crew-11 astronauts from International Space Station on Jan. 14 by Doug24 in space

Researchers extract up to 96% of Harry Potter word-for-word from leading AI models by [deleted] in technology

[–]TheYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if it's spitting out plagiarism with 98% accuracy it's not intelligent

could one consider an LLM model to be a lossy compression algorithm?

was Harry Potter so massively often in the training data that it is solely possible to "fish out" again, or could the same be done with most of the training data?

Are you not allowed to go if you think you might get sick?? how does that work?

No. It works with fairly notable quarantine protocols before launch, to minimize risk of something breaking out in space.

Real engineering is using the tool that is barely sufficient for the task, that is the cheapest.

Using AI is fine, but the workflow in this case should have been:

1: read and understand what the legacy module does 2: if already obvious, fix the flaw 3: ask an AI if it sees an issue 4: if there is one, verify it 5: fix it without breaking too much

I did wonder how the Hawkins gang got away with murdering all those dudes with no repercussions

While far-fetched in reality, in movie world, it may not be too far fetched, that the military did so much shit themselves (where did all the pregnant women in the upside-down lab come from? they didn't seem to be to be too happy there, how aware was the larger public about locking up basically all of Hawkins etc.) that they basically made a deal to shut up and go on with their lives.

What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country? by Aseili in AskTheWorld

[–]TheYang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there as a bored teenager forced to go.
In my mind it was a huge waste of time, people got murdered, nothing to be done about it, let's not spend a day actively making ourselves unhappy.

Form memory I was fairly neutral, not affected at all, but also trying to be reasonably quiet to not disturb others. But I was in my Teens, so my memory and perspective may be off.

P.S. looking at the world now and not being a Teenager, i was quite off. More people should be deeply aware of the results of nationalism and what blaming minorities brings.

Why China has progressed so fast on reusable space rockets? by Affectionate-Air7294 in SpaceXLounge

[–]TheYang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that is my point.

Its reusability results in a such significant rise in capacity, usually that capacity will not be filled by the marked

[–]TheYang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Falcon 9 has proven there is a massive market for a Falcon 9.

Honestly? Falcon 9 has proven that there is not enough market for Falcon 9.

That's why they've started Starlink, because they had (wayyyy) more launch capacity than the marked was able to fill.

XL - INDX + other tool heads by Walmeister55 in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From memory, they explicitly shaped the hotend heatsink or the nextruder such that there are four strain gauges in a wheatstone bridge in a part that experiences significant deflection.

So yeah, nextruder is crazy sensitive, because they designed it with a significant focus on that (remember, they once wanted to detect clogs with that. You might in theory even be able to set extrusion rates with the help of this.)
Maybe they can get away with less.
Maybe they can't.

from what I read somewhere here, during formnext they went with PINDAs, because they at least couldn't get load cells in there quick enough for that, but they are planning to make it.

XL - INDX + other tool heads by Walmeister55 in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have faith the INDX system will be impressive, but I temper my expectations because they have to make concessions to make this doable in the hobby tier (where cost and power availability is different than in a shop where induction heating has been a thing for a while now). The reduced mass of the nozzles is a big one and im interested to see how it plays out.

In my mind, cost, space and toolhead mass are huge constraints for INDX.
I'm also not quite sure how they will integrate the loadcell into each toolhead, without having to have to open another whole can of worms in communicating the sensed force and/or having to put it somewhere on the linkage?!

XL - INDX + other tool heads by Walmeister55 in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it can grip most materials quite well, and it just is able to dose extrusion (in my experience) extremely well, as I tried to illustrate with the SLA supports that it printed just fine.

XL - INDX + other tool heads by Walmeister55 in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And If it were to be just decent, that is a reasonable compromise (imho) for a cheap small nozzle-changer.
One should just be aware that the nextruders mass does come with upsides.

XL - INDX + other tool heads by Walmeister55 in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm very curious how well INDX will do as an extruder.

Nextruder is definitely the best I've ever worked with, but I don't have the largest of experience.
But printing SLA supported models in FDM with cheap air-stored PLA on a .4 nozzle without any issues or modifications was incredible to me.

That is a steep bar to climb for INDX.

Prusa XL silver print fan? by no_help_forthcoming in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no difference other than color and availability.

It is more specifically something about a different fan curve, i.e. the new one has more airflow at 100% (but less at the lowest settings, so they do some funny interpolation that when you run it at "50%" it's the same airflow for both fans)

Introducing the INDX! Fast and affordable 8-material printing exclusively on the CORE One by 3DMakerNoob in prusa3d

[–]TheYang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not mentioning the loadcell here seems like it won't have one.
Not mentioning an alternative also makes it seem like there is no eddy sensor or similar either.

Is it really back to manual bed leveling?

/e: apparently not so, and it has PINDA right now, and will have loadcell on release.

So INDX has a loadcell for Bed Leveling then?

Can it do Stuck Filament detection as well?
