Now draw her fucking dying after getting hit by a Shrike drone. 🗿

I’ve definitely had periods of depression food, but the one time I had to spend first half of day on white throne and be scared to fart for second half of day was after going to a fancy restaurant. 🌝

We don’t even have to go 150 years back if we take a look at North and South Korea’s. Photos of soldiers from both countries standing side by side show staggering difference.

I just looked in my local online electronics shop, and there are lots of decent non-smart TV’s of various brands - Philips, Kivi, Thompson etc.

Using “dumb” Toshiba TV with RPi as TV box myself - it supports HDMI-CEC too, so only TV remote is enough.

My ASUS laptop has this driver utility that gets installed along with Windows automatically that shows McAfee antivirus ads.

Almost got a heart attack first time, thought I got virus on clean install already. Turns out it’s just ASUS showing me ads on laptop I bought from them.

Well, if there was at least something redeeming for him - it's that in his final hours he got worried that he'll die before he could pass sanctions on Russia.

I like to say as an electronic engineer:

If I didn't burn anything, then I didn't do anything.

Finding out "not to's" is part of the process.

My guess would be hotend not feeling so good. Those white spots look like result of temperature changes.

If you can read hotend thermistor data somehow (OctoPrint, for example, shows a chart for that) and see lots of sudden ±2-5°C changes - that'd be it.

Considering from where the bubble grows, my wisest guess as to when it will start showing cracks (and I'm not very wise, by the way) would be Republicans doing bad at next elections.

As of now it seems that any losses from AI industry would simply be tanked (Nvidia's capitalization, for example, still ain't a joke, they've got a lot of money to burn) or socialized. Little bits of regulations or opposition to socializing of losses may actually move the loss needle beyond pain point, where we can hope for panic to ensue.

If bubble pops - AI is here to stay anyway. Chinese have shown with their DeepSeek that you can run decent sized models locally, and the main gatekeeper of local AI is, you guessed it, Nvidia. Prices for server GPU's are disproportionately high and one of the reasons is to not allow plebs like us to have that. But with further optimization of AI models they'll become more and more accessible on hardware consumers already have.

My second guess of when though would be investors getting tired of AGI promises as it is AGI that has to magically turn money pit of AI into unprecedented profits.

Well... take a guess which tool they're gonna use for total surveillance. 🌝

Yep, people involved are the biggest problem sometimes.

I've had to figure how to fix many issues myself, because quite often upon finding a thread where someone already had an issue that I had, folks were tryna gaslight the OP why it's not actually an issue, eventually turning the thread into shit flinging contest. Or the good old "don't do that, you'll break something" (that I proceeded to do and was absolutely okay).

Not to mention how FOSS developers have to deal with entitled assholes every now and then.

Oh, come on.

You can still DIY shit like Meshtastic
