I noticed that that “high speed resin” was sold out even if they were still bundling it with new printers

Then I realized that the profile for that resin in their own official slicer had half the vertical resolution and half the exposure time. It’s something broken that they created just for allowing the marketing to say “the fastest printer on the market, full prints in 2 hours instead of 8”. Even the demo file that was given with the resin had layer delamination when printed, and that’s the best use case, an empty cylinder that needs no support and has a constant wall thickness all around

It was the resin. Once I bought a resin from another brand, it printed perfectly

It really puzzles me why they would bundle 2 kg of low quality “high speed” resin that isn’t even able to correctly print the test files…

I’m kinda hoping it was just that a state sponsored attacker showed up on their door and said “include this snippet or else…” otherwise it’s terrifying thinking of someone planning some long con like this

We are all relying on the honesty of a few overworked volunteers…

From that post, commits set to UTC+0800 and activity between UTC 12-17 indicate that the programmer wasn’t operating from California but from another country starting with C. The name is also another hint.

Unrelated, I really like the idea that the author of that blog post to place the favicon near each link

the slicer said the model needed a repair (which it did), but then it also does this with other stuff. Later I try with a profile with more exposure time

first print with the printer and first print with resin in my life

The manual didn’t mention the exposure calibration at all…

visual inspection of test exposure is ok, and then the vat is brand new so the sheet was immaculate

It’s available on an unofficial repository that can be optionally added to fdroid, it’s not available on fdroid

On mobile you’re forced to use their “open source” app that is only available on the closed source app stores and not on fdroid because it uses Google push services

My iMac on debian does the same, black screen on boot

Still, if an user prefers the convenience of using any client instead of e2e, could enable it in a setting. Maybe the user subscribed because they liked the interface and the overall features of the plan, and not because of the encrypted email solution and just wants to add the account on the mobile client instead of a dedicated app

Being closed like this IMHO is just to increase user retention

The bridge Is “open” but somehow it works only for premium users.

It just opens the web app

It’s worse than you thought.

The webmail provider released a dedicated browser that can only open the webmail and called it a “desktop” app.

Additionally, they don’t support IMAP. There’s an app to run on your computer that becomes a bridge. The proprietary protocol is translated to IMAP. You can’t use your favorite client if your operating system can’t run that bridge and you’re not a premium user because for “reasons” only premium users can run that local bridge

Wait, there’s a web viewer for iwork files? Does it allow to save as a PDF? But I guess it wouldn’t handle missing fonts

My iMac is gathering dust. It can’t run Debian due to proprietary video removed, so all I get is a black screen at boot. Tried fedora and my USB mouse doesn’t work at boot, I have to unplug and replug every single time. Who knows what kind of proprietary assholery they did to the USB stack

I should just sell it but I’m keeping it for “what if one day I need to open some iWork files?” - although i already proven a month ago that it would not correctly open iWork documents created with the latest version

They’re talented in nostalgic acquisitions.

They got WinZip, ulead video studio, intervideo winDVD, Roxio toast, Pinnacle video editor, Bryce, Ventura Publisher.

It’s Linux, but worse

Ah. The way they wrote that seemed an exclusive…

Nice for gnome, so, when I wanted to set xrdp on debian a couple years ago I cried and almost gave up.
