It would have a lot of beans

To be fair, if you put the Orcas in the parking lot they’d die

Hchicdfvhk!

I think there is a lot of misdirected frustration. The technology isn’t the issue, the way it’s been implemented is the issue. There are some useful use cases for AI.

Apart from the extruder, what parts of a 3D printer are not of the shelf electronics? It seems like a lot of folks are going to have their random electronics seized.

Won’t people just buy them from China?

Clearly you work for the “big toe stub” industry

How can they benefit from innovation that has been stifled?

What did you think had happened when Lemmy when full beam meme?

Windows 11 felt like a downgrade before all the AI bs. Microsoft values me more as an advertising opportunity than a customer.

Do you work for big-ancient-temples? It sounds like you’re just setting me up so that I end up in a pit of snakes or buried in lava.

It also looks like they’ll be the right age for WW3 deployment

That’s a stretch

I don’t mean it to be. I’m trying to be a realist so that I can take appropriate steps to protect myself online. If you want to be anonymous on social media then you should only connect via a VPN. And if you’re using a VPN you can set your location to be somewhere that doesn’t have these requirements. There are other ways that these companies can track you as well and they will freely give this data to the authorities. Even if you’re protect yourself from all of those vectors, if you upload a photo of yourself or someone else tags you then there is a good chance you’re identifiable with tools like ClearView. People making the argument that this new restriction will allow governments to track citizens clearly have no clue about the current surveillance systems. I’m not pro these surveillance systems but this ignorance is dangerous. The biggest danger I see from these new rules are data leaks.

Governments already have access to your data and can easily link you to your social media accounts

How do pickleball balls fit into this? They’ve got holes in them, is this something I need to look out for?

How do you have the SAS drive connected to your Mint 22 box (what exact adapter/controller)? Is it going through a real SAS HBA (LSI/Broadcom-style, IT/HBA mode), or through a RAID controller / USB-SAS bridge / “virtual” adapter?

Reason I’m asking: there are basically two connection paths:

• True HBA/passthrough: Linux gets direct SCSI access (you’ll see a /dev/sgX for the disk) and you can usually low-level reformat it back to 512-byte logical blocks (e.g., from 520/528).
• RAID/USB/translation layer: the controller hides or emulates the SCSI commands, so tools like sg_format often can’t issue the low-level format needed to switch the sector size. That might be why the disk is visible in the disks app but not in gparted.

Given the screen shots I believe it’s the later. Can someone smarter than me confirm?
