very similar to my own experiment on Ender 3 and also to the tons of posts on reddit
Actually, the ender experience is more a lego experience when you have to buy tons of add ons, upgrades, days to learn systems & paramters in slicers & firmwares.
Also think about the Ender 3 burning PSU trend 4 years ago.
times to times, another comment pop on reddit such as "i own 12 ender 3 and sell my production, never did a single upgrade, printing at 50mm and it works like a charm since day one" but it's not majority
I believe one of the big point missed is that community contribution totally disapeared of the public internet.
In the past you were able to find anything you want by just typing anything in google, on all the forums & microblogs.
That content disapeared from internet, replaced by discord & instagram, which are not public.
Reddit is the main community remaining public, this is why people are typing "pizza reddit" while the main contributions are not on the reddit community but on the the discord from the pizza reddit.
So now, when you want to go deep into the topic pizza, you have to:
--> go to the pizza reddit
--> get the discord adress
--> connect to the redditPizza discord
--> search "mozzarella" on the shitty discord search
and don't forget the "i lost my bitcoin password so i lost all my assets" and "my hard drive has been destroyed so i lost all my bitcoins"
All those stories were solved across 120y of crisis and financials regulations. Not all of course, but finance, as a basis of the XXI century economy is far more robust that it was
* Unfortunatly, to drive the temperature, you need... something to drive it which was not deployed: you cannot plug a NEST and plugin in in a thermostat is complex
* In recent years, DIY based solutions based on Home Automation or Shelly were deployed by DIY communities but hey this require high skills & dedicated server (synology like), and sometime soldering. There is no plug and play solution on the market
* Heatzy.com proposed a wifi based solution but you can only do On/Off, not select a target temperature (so this is useless)
So having a single wifi small box to plug on the heater to drive the target temperature is a game changer
--> Since i'm looking at this market every years since 2013, it has not evolved until this post on hcknews! Very happy to see this solution coming! you made my day! (unfortunatly we're at the end of winter :))
not listed here but some guys owned old ATARI computers on which they implemented Minitel servers with a toll free phone number. Some were famous for their HP48 calculator community (and were in relationship with HP to organize HP Party)
Most famous names were RTC ONE and PULSAR. They were really a pre-internet community with forum & chat. Crazy people at crazy times and exciting time in my life.
interesting, does that mean that there is a part of 'active' pinterest users who take time to add tags to pics, letting pinterest to categorize a lot of pictures and let the google ranking higher?
i just clicked on the link just how to check how can i remove pinterest from my search results. Then i control-F to search other people looking for remove pinterest and it seems i'm not alone :)
Pinterest is like pihole: it get all the trafic but the difference is that they keep it for them. As other people are descripting it here, it is a nightmare of a darkpattern.
Yesterday, i came randomly (through a french newsletter) to this website https://business.pinterest.com/en/pinterest-predicts/ , they sell that they have 400m users WW and 12 'active' users in France (lol). Meanwhile, their trending dashboard is not uninteresting, and reading it would give you the possibility to see what they do with their data (i'm a curious guy). But having the possibility to delete all pinterest links from my search, forerever it an absolute gain of quality of life
same answer from my perspective, i did not iron a lot during the last year because of lockdows but i see nice machines using steam. The sound is the same as a nespresso machine so i believe that it is based on the same steam generation technology, opposed to the brass tank steam generation process used in quality espresso machines & professional irons.
I just have been sollicitated to test the Janssen/Johnson and Johnson. Seems that it is still in Phase III in Western Europe. I'm not 100% sure to want to participate, split between: ok there is enough vaccine i'll be vaccinated in 3m OR OK i need to do this because we need more vaccines.
I've been lucky last summer to be able to see one of the exhibition of forensic-architecture in Basel, Switzerland. And today i'm happy to see one of their work on my favorite website HN.
This was a very interesting work between art, data, dataviz, video art.
I would recommend to everybody to check their exhibition schedule and go out to see if there is one not far from you https://forensic-architecture.org/programme/exhibitions
Minitel is the terminal system, with the CPU, keyboard & screen, but by extension, it includes the protocol to display & download the data.
Actually, i was used to connect to "minitel" servers, RTC or BBS-like that were dedicated to the developement of HP48 calculator applications. It was a very rich scene in France, with RTC servers named Pulsar, RTC-one, etc. Basic BBS boards with discussion boards (like HN!) and where you could download HP 48 programs.
Some history (in french) about one of these boards http://wiz0u.free.fr/pulsar/historique.php
It was back in 1997 with a pre-internet scene, the first IRL parties, internet friends, etc
Basicly it was some smart guy hosting an atari st in the garage, with a dedicated telecom line (so 1 people connected at the same time!).
