Would you consider it a good deed if a rich person gave a homeless person 1 euro while not around other people, and then went around the city proclaiming they support homeless people and have been funding them? In my opinion thats not a good deed.

    This seems like a good thing. As they state, instead of just using OSS they'll contribute back to existing projects and likely release some of their own stuff.

    Hopefully they stick to it

    Im not too sure about that, personally. Tbh i got them for free in a promotion when i bought my FP5 phone, and while I have used them, its not been much simply because at home on my PC ive got my regular headset, or if i want to do stuff like clean or cook I just switch to the external speakers, and at work, again, headset.

    Pretty much all use cases for me involve my phone being in my pocket or hand (e.g. out in public) and in that case they've been really good to my experience. Granted I'm no audio guru so definitely check out reviews from those who are relating to that aspect if you (the reader) plan to get a set, I can't complain honestly.

    Im not saying that nor advocating communism, im just stating that what you said about the reason you think people only do those jobs, I believe at least, is false simply by counterargument. Ask any one of the people who enjoy that kind of work environment if they would ever work in an office, closed in a room seated at a desk all day, and most would probably say you couldnt pay them enough to do it. To them, even if you DO give them more money, its not a reward/compensation because they value different things.

    Im one of the office-type people. Id like to think what I do has value to society, and I believe I would do it regardless of the compensation/regardless of if I got the same money as a lumberjack, because I enjoy it. Thats another angle: if everyone is paid the same, why not do what you enjoy. If what you enjoy is being in the woods cutting trees, or on a boat in the sea, or in a tower in isolation for weeks (fire watcher), or any number of other "undesirable" jobs, and youd still get paid a living wage for doing that, same as everyone else, why would you ever subject yourself to something miserable for you, for no better reward?

    I see. If at all avoidable, id like to avoid bambu if they are on the path of locking down, despite how easy they are. Opennes is really important to me, so if I didnt go for bambu, nor creality, what are ky other options at aprice range that is a logical investment for a first printer? If theres nothibg else, Ill just buy a bambu, but id rather not

    May i ask why? Im planning on buying one in the coming months, and crealitys are available on my local second hand store page (like fb marketplace but dedicated site only for my country).

    Id rather not get a bambu if they really are locking everything down, so not sure what else is left
