I've thought about this and probably should, especially since my parents got divorced recently. But I haven't really thought of a way to bring it up tactfully without being patronizing. Any ideas?
My parents responded well starting from a discussion of "Have you seen how good AI imitations are these days? Voice, images, even video..."
I don't think safety rules themselves are patronizing, especially considering how good the tech is: "Never trust a conversation you didn't initiate no matter who the other party claims to be or how good, bad, or urgent it sounds." Generally this doesn't count known communications with friends and family through known channels. It would take a lot more security failures to mistrust known good channels (but it can still happen! eg spoofed caller ID).
Another rule of thumb is to ask yourself, "How would I go about addressing this directly if I hadn't been contacted about it." E.g. the website, app, support line from the main site, etc. Always best to go to known channels, especially for anything financial. Even better not to even answer/respond to unknown contacts if you can avoid it. (Not always possible with work / kids school / etc.)
I agree, I wouldn't use this article as an example, because it does include a lot of poor judgement along the way. But there are plenty of examples of how good AI imitation has become lately.
The Core ONE is the first Prusa I would actually consider buying. But it's twice as expensive as a Bambu P1S and lacks various features that are optional on the prusa but included on the P1S. Like air filtering, the chamber cam (I know it's bad but good enough for me). And their alternative for the AMS (they call it the MMU) is way less sophisticated, it doesn't do full roll retraction or include a drybox for example. Finally, I have more faith in injection-molded parts than 3D printed ones. They're smoother, more precise, more solid.
Now the extendibility is a big feature but it's not something I would use. I want a printer that I can unpack and go and have minimal maintenance and tinkering on. My hobby is about printing things, the printer itself is not my hobby. It's a tool and it should just work.
So no, so far Bambu is and remains the the go-to brand for me. I have a P1S + AMS and also an A1 Mini, I think it's amazing how much value you get for your money at 180 euro. I actually use the A1 Mini more lately when I have something small to print due to the easily exchangable hotend (I often print small high-detail stuff on it with the 0,2mm nozzle). And it's a lot quieter than the P1S.
And like others mentioned, Prusa is becoming a lot less open source. In the video he mentioned it is because of the Chinese clones which makes some sense but still...
I don't understand why this is being pursued when there's already duty limits for how long drivers can be on the road anyway. Surely the money would be better spent on chargers at truck stops, no?
The YotaPhone did something similar back in 2012, I'm surprised it took this long for someone else to try it again. IIRC they had oodles of crowdfunding support but fumbled the logistics side of things.
They provide .stl files for you to 3d print your own enclosure, or presumably order form a third party printer. I assume this shell is specifically for those who are concerned with appearance and/or fire resistance (PLA is pretty flammable.)
