Reminds me I caught my first one in the wild the other day. Note the replaced bumper, and still visible damage to the front left. I’m sure they have insurance /s

Pirates eye

For sure, there could be one person with 1.1 and 10 people with 0.99, but the average will still be 1.0

“Half our students are below average!” kinda vibes - KDR necessarily means that for every person with 1.5, there is someone with a 0.67, that’s just how the math works. If I’m anywhere near 1.0, I’m happy.

Absolutely, it’s a fabulous engineering challenge, to make it work well on a hobbyist grade 3D printer with ordinary materials. Also a lesson in using the right tool for the right job (some parts are just better off milled or bought OtS)

I used to frequent the FOSSCAD IRC ages back as a teen. This started during the post-Liberator panic, there were talks about regulating 3D printers to not allow printing guns, etc. Designed a few things, never actually printed any of it myself, but some others did. Really got me into engineering before I exited the scene, led to actually pursuing an engineering career. Was surprised to see 3D printed gun videos so openly shared, it was pretty underground for ages there.

I tried this myself, but it’s hard for a few reasons:

• Messaging actually takes more time (defeats some of the purpose)
• No banking apps (inconvenient)
• No proprietary 2FA (nonstarter for work reasons)
• No “let me Google that real quick” moments (comparison shopping when in store, looking up a phone number for a restaurant, etc.).
• Their cameras universally suck

Some “dumb” phones still have a web browser and such, so you’re not completely out of luck, but it’s painful.

I have 35mbps upload from the ISP, and limit each stream to 8mbps. This covers direct streaming all my 1080p content and a 4K transcode as needed.

Thanks for the explanation!

I’m out of the loop, anywhere I can read more about what’s going on?
