I have seven sites that are on the live internet and cost no money except if i want a domain. I do not have to maintain them myself anymore. When i want a change i don't have to do it programmatically i just ask an agent and they go to work and take care of it much faster than i could. I don't have to open VSCode push and pull anything. I don't have to check and make sure it posted or check the syntax. It just works.
Sure they are not going to win any design awards but they were never going to when i did them either.
What a time to be alive.
I cancelled YouTube Premium. Monthly fee $15.99. More if you want the Family plan. I lasted a whole month and couldn't handle all the adds.I have YouTube TV just for sports because that's all i really watch. I was going to cancel Disney+ last year but I found Verizon gives a discount if subbed through them so i kept it. I have been debating getting rid of Prime as the Amazon products are junk these days and paying to get better times on shipping has disappeared. I can't remember the last time a product came when they said it was going to at checkout. Cancelling Netflix would cause my wife to leave me. LOL. I also have AppleTV but they only have about 3 good shows. I can only watch so many shows where the 5'2" frail women beat the shit out of 6'6" buff men or all the men are stupid AF. If you are going to do that the woman have to be hot as hell. I should really get rid of it.
What subs do you have?
What keeps you paying?
Even though i don't watch much basketball anymore i still watch all the clips of these 4. What a great group it will never be replaced.
Shaquille O'Neal pays emotional tribute to Ernie Johnson following his retirement announcement
"When I was a youngster, there were three guys as a basketball fan I loved to hear talk: Bill Raftery, Dick Vitale, and Ernie Johnson."
"I got the opportunity to come here and work for you, and I only came here because you were here. You are the controller of this thing people call a circus."
"Without you, it's going to be very, very difficult. I never thought this day would happen."
"I appreciate you, I love you, and thank you. We've had a lot of great years together, and thank you for everything, brother."

Marlin Simulator now provides the printer visualization as a webcam. Great for working on firmware and host development at the same time.
Run MarlinSimUI locally, Mainsail / @OctoPrint3D in Docker, set up and go!
Skills included with Marlin.

This is part of why people who try Omarchy on some old potato PC find that their new MacBook machine suddenly isn't very attractive in comparison. There are a lot of common developer tasks that are just way, way faster on Linux (it's the same with Docker!).
My 3d model search starts at @printablescom then at Makerworld next is Mymini and then maybe Creality but last is always @thingiverse.
What does your search look like?

If you like using Mainsail as your print host you will be able to do that with Marlin a lot more easily on the next update. The key is a little connector called Serial2Moon.

I asked Gemini a question about my PETKIT pet feeder and it said “you don’t have one of those”!?!
I asked it a question about it not if I had one WTF.
Creepy AF!
Wouldn’t it be something that we one day find out the reason behind Stone Henge and all the Megolithic Stone buildings was they thought it was the only way to beat the Super Intelligence they had created but in the end it was just an Asteroid?
Anthropic screams about the danger of AI but every week they release something that directly contradicts what they have been pushing. If anything is an issue it is these bots that try to act human. It’s freaking creepy at the very least. Talking to a machine like it’s human is ridiculous it’s a tool. Use it and put it a box then close the lid when you’re done.
The announcement we've been waiting for... Anthropic is about to drop their personal agent Duet (love the name)
A direct competitor to Dots, Grok Bot, Hark, and Muse
All powered by what I believe to be the best model on earth right now Opus 5.5
This is the one I'm anticipating the most. Claude more than any other AI has felt the BEST to talk to
It feels truly human and collaborative
This has been what's dearly missing from this new class of agent harnesses. None of them feel truly HUMAN
I have no doubt this will be the warmest, most fun personal agent to use
I truly believe this personal agent harness race is the most important race of them all. More important than the model race
People are giving their personal agents access to EVERYTHING
Their emails, calendars, text messages, finances, EVERYTHING
This is unbelievably valuable data people are now willing to give away to any company that makes helpful assistants
The winner of this harness race will have access to incredibly valuable data it can then use to train even better models
Anthropic is officially coming for the crown

8 Tools, 8 Spools, 1 TOWER OF POWER! Just posted the video of building out my @Prusa3D Core One w/ @BondtechAB 8-Tool INDX atop a @LDOmotors INBXX build. I've got custom filament drying, lighting, & mods a plenty on the box & Core One! Check it out now on my channel. #3dprinting
I think I am part of the 3d community even though I don’t get much interaction but I know that @reprinted3D is a real one. We probably don’t agree on everything and that doesn’t matter. We agree on 3d printing and being a good human.
Hope he doesn’t leave cuz he’s always tried to be helpful.
The #3DPrinting community can be an incredibly welcoming place, filled with wonderful people. Until you, knowingly or unknowingly, cross the wrong one(s). That's when you learn what happens when the welcome has worn out.
For the better part of this year, I thought something was going on, and last week I was informed my suspicions were correct:
I am "being cancelled" by some folks in the community.
I was told a couple of years ago this would happen as my follower count grew, because of the people I chose to associate with, and because I've been so outspoken about certain groups and brands.
I could go into a laundry list of specifics, detailing the things that've happened to me. I've posted about some of them as they've occurred.
I've always tried to be helpful, supportive, and encouraging. I've delighted in watching the personal and business successes, and commiserated with the setbacks, of those I associate with. I have bought and sent folks printers, parts, and filament when they didn't have the money to do it for themselves, even though I'm on a fixed income myself.
None of that matters to these folks.
If you don't like what they like, support who they support (with subs, bits, buying their merchandise, contributing to their Throne list, giving them free stuff, etc.), say nice things about the brands who sponsor them, they will actively work to exorcise you from what they see as "their" community.
They will lie about you, tell your mutuals it's either you or them, get folks to block you, and destroy your reputation and standing within the community. You don't have to believe me, but I've seen it happen. Several Twitch streamers I used to watch no longer stream because of them. And it's happened to me in the last ten months.
I've never mentioned any names, and I don't intend to now; it's counter-productive, and won't change any of their behavior. Some of you may already know who these people are, having felt their sting on your own.
What I will say is I am undecided about my future here, and with the community, because this kind of behavior is petty, childish, and reprehensible.
I deserve better. We all do.
