All things considered that was a better outcome than I expected.

You'll be tagged as the one who thought a shitpost was serious, got corrected, and doubled down.

That's a little hopeful to hear. When I was researching my purchase I had considered a Qidi machine but the reviews were inconsistent at the time. This was back early '24 though. I think my Microcenter warranty on the P1S is running out soon.

As much as I'm distressed to see the current situation with Bambu Lab I wouldn't consider it "falling for relentless marketing". They are/were genuinely ahead of the curve.

I've owned 3 different 3D printers before my P1S in the nearly decade I've been 3D printing (I got my first in 2017) and Bambu was the first to actually deliver on being "plug and play" when compared to the competition.

I'm hopeful the situation when my P1S kicks the bucket has changed (it may already have but I'm not in the market so I haven't checked). But for now I'm just not updating the firmware.

I will eventually forget as I do everything, but last month when I was in and out of the vet because my dog was having some complications the receptionist said my dog is so cute she'd die for him and I haven't forgotten yet.

There's also speculative decoding and adjacent techniques getting traction, increasing performance of the models on the same hardware.

I've been running Qwen 3.5 122B A10B but recently swapped to Qwen 3.6 35B A3B - both using OpenCode e as my agentic harness (though I've also used Pi). I've been happy with the output, though I have to be more precise with my prompts and do planning passes.

Pantheon and Arcane. As someone who doesn't play LoL my LoL playing siblings made me watch Arcane and it was pleasant enough.

Pantheon is just a must see.

Ditto. A smart home that can operate even if the Internet is offline was one of my core goals setting this up. And save for a few exceptions, I accomplished it. It's so jarring now to go on vacation and not have all this automation.

Reread the comic, specifically the first half of that panel.

Hey insurance, I'm injured and need some of that money I give you in case I get injured.

Maybe make your own post instead of trying to hijack this one with a inflammatory statement masquerading as a question.
