It feels like printables has leaned heavily in to the subscription-model with many users now locking content behind subscriptions to their profile. It sucks that prusa/printables are willingly participating in enshittification by implementing such a feature.

I’ve had ZigBee door/window sensors last as little as a few weeks on a AAA battery, making them practically unusable.

Yep, Western Digital said they were sold out of drives for all of 2026. Since 2026 is just starting, they haven’t actually produced those drives or gotten actual money for them.

This is exceedingly normal procedure for manufacturing companies, and not limited to tech industry by any means. They know how much they can potentially produce on their lines, if they have predicted customers to fulfill the capacity for a full year they are basically sold out despite not having produced most of it yet.

The company I work for also has “sold out” for several of our factories because we have orders for 110% production capacity on them. Orders are not paid up front, they never are in any industry, it’s always paid after delivery usually with a 30-90 days delay (and even more in some cases).

There is nothing spectacularly weird or out of place in the announcement they’ve made, it’s basically standard procedure.

Unfortunately most people just don’t fucking care, or even consider it an issue.

Someone in my local HA community proudly shared how they had been able to use AWS face recognition with their own cams so they didn’t need to run face recognition locally…fucking absurd to experience someone tech-savvy willingly hand over these things and recommending others to do it too.

Oh you’re 100% mistaken if you think my responses are serious and sincere.

Saying you have no time when it’s actually lack of energy is just poor communication skills, it’s not about being literal.

No it is not superior. It doesn’t allow for only toasting one side of the food, it forces you to toast both/all sides. It has less flexibility and still restrictions regarding foods that can go it it conveniently.

Only acceptable design is A-tier, all others are unnecessarily restrictive in size and dimensions of the food to toast. Only idiots limit themselves to sliced bread.

I do, I didn’t really need to spend 3-4x the money for my server storage and regular HDDs are fast enough for media streaming. 6x18tb would’ve been unnecessarily expensive as SSDs

If your schedule is not actually fully booked you have the time, ADHD or not…you don’t have the energy, which is something entirely different, but also valid.

self-autonomous

Just autonomous…the “self” is included in the definition of autonomous already.

Maybe mark this post as advertisement…

INDX is done by a completely different company, you cannot credit their work to prusa at all.

Because you want to keep your cat from going in/out at certain times or what?

We just have one of those chip-enabled flaps so it only unlocks for our cats. 100% offline with no cloud connection whatsoever. I personally don’t really see any benefit to remote locking/unlocking the flap, if I wanted to manage when my cat can enter/leave the home I wouldn’t have a flap.

what information are you looking to get in to HA from the cat flap?

My point is that any innovation by prusa, slicer or printer, is pretty much past tense.

Yet a lot of those businesses lean on the work of prusa.

Yes, a lot of the groundwork was done by prusa, and yes a lot of companies are standing on their shoulders. Prusa 100% deserves a lot of credit for enabling what 3D printing has become today, no doubt about that…but they haven’t really been innovative or at the front of 3D printing for a while, they stagnated and have been overtaken as a consequence.

Edit: most of the cheap Chinese manufacturers are ahead because they lean massively in to klipper and rely on the community there.

I would much prefer them to stay in the business and as much ahead of the competition as possible.

They are already behind the competition and have been for some time

It’s a joke older than the internet, it’s not the author’s own thoughts about boogers, it’s someone else’s that they just used in a comic format.

I would love to love Prusa’s printers, but they just keep lacking IMO. They cost an absolute premium price, but you get a sort of “yesterday’s tech” experience with with them. I can get two voron v2.4 350x350x350mm kits for the price of a single Prusa core one L, and aside from active chamber temp control the core one L has basically the same functional features as the vorons.

The web-interface experience is so much nicer with klipper + mainsail/fluidd than what prusa offers. The abundance of additional community-made features for klipper is immense and usually extremely easy to implement, it’s a shame prusa insists on their own ecosystem.
