It's really hard to recommend Prusa for the average person when non-enclosed printers go for 1k usd and multifilament is >2k, while creality and bambu go for 700 for multifilament, and much cheaper for single filament.
I'm not saying is the wrong thing, but it's the same reason casual users look at framework and balk at prices.
Totally agree, but at the same rate I would tell people: you get what you pay for. It's the same as paying for search or any free vs paid for product. The "others" are great and have been pushing the bounds of price / performance barrier that only machines coming out of China could actually do. I still think there's a rationale for owning Prusa machines (and I still do). Especially for new entrants, 100% agree, it is a hard sell for them given the competition.
Not having an automatic material system a la Bambu is what really puts me off. After having that system with Bambu it's really hard to settle for less.
The tech behind this is fascinating- isn't this just how a wiimote works? So simple yet shocked that no one has thought of this before. Pricing seems incredibly reasonable as well (30$ for a lifetime license). If I didn't have a VR headset I would've bought this instantly.
Ada Palmer is also the author of "Terra Ignota" which is a highly philosophical and operatic sci-fi series. Incredibly ambitious and unique imo- highly reccommend
From the perspective of someone with a touchscreen windows device, I agree. I rarely used the touchscreen not because it wasnt useful, but because it was unwieldy on windows.
I bought a 2 in 1 and the experience is much better, simply because i can detach the keyboard and use it as a massive tablet. its not as fluid as an ipad, but most of the time its simply mildly annoying to get to the app/browser i want, then I scroll and tap the same way I would on an Ipad. On my regular touchscreen laptop, I have to lift my fingers to use the interface, which simply adds delay for... the ability to scroll a pdf, afaik.
All this to say simply shoehorning touch on a mac is a pretty bad idea simply because the hardware, in its current iteration, is not there. I wonder if they'll release a "macbook touch" thats more akin to a surface for their touch interface.

I have a work Lenovo Yoga and have a similar experience with the 2-in-1. I actually appreciate that I can fold the keyboard all the way back under and use it as a tablet. I'll sometimes use that for doing document reviews on the couch. I've also used it folded, hmmm, 290 degrees or so as a touch interface for some monitoring software. Windows seems to have some APIs that will report to applications when it switches into tablet mode and applications that auto-switch their UI to have bigger buttons etc are quite appreciated.
in alaska, we have 7 or 8 months of wintery temperatures, so we get as much sunlight as we can when its out, or consume heavily vitamin D supplemented staple foods.
its a curious state of affairs here. public nudity is illegal, but privacy is prime, and you can live your life nude on private property as long as no one complains.
this is one of those laws that are a schism, commonle people dont care, or get a PMSL, as long as your not lewd, or harrasing kids, and most importantly, how do you conduct yourself when somone says you are causing discomfort.
It feels great: the sun, the air, no materials rubbing against your skin, not worrying about clothes getting dirty, sweaty, or wet (at least try skinny-dipping when no one else is around!)
It also takes enjoying nature while hiking, to another level.
Me too. Youtube must know better than me what to recommend me out of all the videos... still, I get presented the same shite again and again.
To be fair: not everything is shite and Youtube is my favorite social media (especially for discovering new music), but I noticed a big drop in quality from one day to the other a couple of years ago.
