Thanks for clarifying, I thought the comment above was asking why it needed file access in the first place, not all file access.

At least the HHR had a functional rear-view mirror

How do you think torrents work? They basically just download a file, but from multiple people instead of a single server. It needs access to the file system so it can save the files.

Aw man, not that their machines were really anything special, but my printing journey started with their rebadged wanhao duplicator i3. Monoprice printers somehow made even creality look expensive at the time!

Looks like this printer is a rebadged flashforge adventurer. Monoprice also sells a version. You might be able to find a version of the firmware from one of those companies and use it.

Lock that fucker in the burnout oven and see how long they exist at 800°F (~426°C)

This is kind of niche, but my work/study playlist is mostly Mick Gordon (probably best known for his work on the Bethesda reboots of the Doom and Wolfenstein games). It’s hard to tie down to a specific genre, but could be described as somewhere between metal and electronica.

This is the thing I really don’t understand about the AI crowd. I would be so much more supportive of companies like openai if they they were pursuing the automation of the dull tasks nobody wants to do, rather than flagrantly breaking copyright laws (the same ones that have been weaponised against normal folks) to create a pale imitation of human creativity.

Like, shit. I want a machine that will do my taxes and fold my laundry so that I have more time to pursue artistic endeavors.

If they kicked out republicans and pedophiles, there wouldn’t be anyone left to give them money

That’s fair, I really enjoy my rereads. While I do remember the main story beats and characters across the series, there’s just so much to remember! The depth of the world is easily on par with, if not surpassing, Tolkien’s work.

The Malazan Book of the Fallen saga is so long that I tend to forget most of the plot of the earlier books by the time I finish.

The only legitimate takedown I can see is is the non-commercial clause. If YouTube is making money off streams, wouldn’t that be a license violation?

Lol, so much for the instance’s only rule: “Be thoughtful, act responsibly, and treat others with respect.”
