My Mini Factory is primarily where I get mine (if you want a list of users I primarily buy mine)

Cults3D is another place but they’re a lot more hit and miss on quality IMO

The best models are purchased models (in general) though MZ4250 on Printables models are free and also pretty high quality.

Personally I won’t pirate models of people in the 3D printing mini community as I want to support the creators in that space as they’re not giant megacorps.

I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

I’m not sure exactly what model but it’s a 4k 75in hisense running Android from like 5 years ago

Personally I just setup a PC as a NAS‡ and installed VLC on my TV so that I can just browse the NAS and play the files directly

Is it efficient? No.

Is it the best way? Also no.

Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well in fact.

‡ The first time was simply a network shared folder, the second time was using TrueNAS.

Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content

Maisey wasn’t on the menu before but now…

Jokes aside that’s a very cute dog

Considering making votes public, not considering making mod actions inform the user they occur.

I can see where their priorities are.

Making votes something mods can see is one thing but public is whole other can of worms.

Edit: Spleling

I don’t typically see it on here and when I do I report that shit

Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube? Every day, Facebook loves to tell me how it doesn’t violate their rules though.

The Internet really did feel more genuine back then when it was ugly and half broken.

It was less sterile and uniform

Every site was unique

Communities felt more real

There I go, whistfully looking to the past again

Our profiles playing music and having their own effects that we can pick

With each day we’re getting closer and closer to classic Myspace

Knowledge is power and the internet contains an absolutely monstrous amount of knowledge

Everybody wants to rule the world

If social media has taught me anything it’s that it was a mistake

The IT guy quits and it’s no longer their problem to fix

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.

Link to the vid where they talk about it

Short sighted LTT video?

Seriously though transitioning your team to a new software suite will suck at first but it’s worth it in the long run. Long term gains vs short term gains and all that.

Extremely rare doesn’t mean impossible
