Lmao you are oblivious if you think it’s possible to set up a network that someone CANT fuck up while having physical access to it.

It’s not magic.

The point is NETWORKS ARE COMPLICATED. Users are generally dumb. The point is you don’t expect them to have the knowledge to do it right. So they’ll break something. Users with actual knowledge could yes, break things even worse.

That’s EXACTLY why they’re restricting hardware use.

Welcome to the conversation, smh

If everything is set up perfectly, it should work, sure. Now how many people do you think even know the difference between WAN and LAN? You expecting the bio or art major to not make any mistakes at all? Or the business major?

Users are often dumb. Imagine 100 people who think they know what they’re doing trying to set up a bunch of custom networking.

That’s your dorm.

Most dorms either outright prohibit using personal hardware like that or require the schools IT department to install it themselves and set it up.

Run a network of your own someday and you’ll understand. It’s hard enough to get your own network working perfectly without a bunch of wildcards popping up everywhere.

Ok, so what is the exact process that creates consciousness? Cus that’s what I’m saying is debated but you apparently have that answer. So what EXACTLY, down to the atomic level, is consciousness? What processes and how do they emerge into consciousness?

I’ll be waiting for your exact, undebated answer.

“what property is altered”

Ummm, the part where you are a continuous object that is suddenly disassembled.

Dont be intentionally obtuse. Yes, this is a ship of thesis type problem, but there’s a very clear point when you stop being “you” - when you’re a stream of atoms. Although many versions of a teleporter don’t transmit the atoms, only the data of how they’re arranged. In that case, you are very distinctly a photocopy, as no original atoms remain.

In the case of atom transfer, you stop being you during the time you are a bundle of atoms with no consciousness. Some people believe we’re like a forever stew and if you shut it down like that and reboot it, it’s not the “same” stew anymore because it wasn’t just the emergence of the consciousness, but the specific emergence itself. Essentially You v1 died in its sleep and You v2 seamlessly took it’s place without knowing. Tho that line of thought could applied to sleeping and loss of consciousness during surgery.

All of this is to say it’s not a cut and dry answer and people claiming there’s a diffinitive, clear cut answer are incorrect. It’s a complex question that touches on the very nature of our existence and is still hotly debated. Even academics who believe we are purely chemical machines debate exactly how that works.

Yup. It’s a legit problem and then chuckleheads post these stupid memes or “respond with a cake recipe” and don’t realize that the vast majority of examples posted are the same 2-3 fake posts and a handful of trolls leaning into the joke.

Makes talking about the actual issue much more difficult.

It is fake. This is weeks/months old and was immediately debunked. That’s not what a ChatGPT output looks like at all. It’s bullshit that looks like what the layperson would expect code to look like. This post itself is literally propaganda on its own.

It’s public. Anyone can. Jesus you people always try to spin this into some conspiracy

This was debunked LONG ago - that’s NOT a chat gpt output. It’s nonsense that LOOKS like ChatGPT output.

What are the good alternatives? Been a fitbit user for a few years now and not sure who to switch to next.

That would be a fun swap for the purge code lmao. Free “Fuck Stratasys” keychain with every print. Better than the squiggly “poop” blobs I get now…

For awhile I still believed there was a use for creators themselves. It’s basically the only way for an individual to sue a company for stealing their idea. But of course it gets captured by corporations and ruined. But until patents get some serious limits, yeah I’m out. They’re more harm than good, I agree. I just felt the good they were doing still had some merit…

Or on a Bambu, just do a longer “poop” purge and spit it out the side like they already do. A tower isn’t even necessary. It’s only needed on devices without a purge capability. I’ve printed plenty of multicolored prints without any tower whatsoever on mine. Literally should be suing anyone but Bambu for that one.

Someone seriously patented purge towers? Ffs, first hearing that 3D printers were shelved for decades because some douchy company camped on the main patent, and now shit like this? Patenting “printing a square tower to accommodate the waste created during filament swaps” is fucking ridiculous. I can’t stand patents anymore. Corporate extortion through and through.

Fuck Stratasys.

I could see the logic in that(not sure if it’s true lol). Like, extreme heat to have a cconstant and complex mix of chemical interactions occuring, but then once they’ve formed something, cooler temps help focus long term stability. No idea if that works or not or just sounds good tho.

You can literally say the exact same thing with Windows. That’s how you Linux peeps feel, constantly yelling “why are you using windows! Stop having fun!”

Is windows perfect? Nah. But does it work most the time? Yeah. All the bitching about windows being shit and yet my 300+ installed games all work… Crazy…

How about just let people use what they like and shut up with the damn “my OS is better than yours” nonsense?

It’s posts like this, that even though I’ve used Linux in the past, make me immediately think “nah, fuck that, I’ll stick to windows. I don’t want to deal with those people.”

You’re more of a harm than help.

That’s what happens when states get to regulate these kinds of things. Notice it’s mostly progressive states that this applies to. States that put laws on their books against this. The reason it doesn’t count in those other states is because, for all intents and purposes, it was legal there.

People complain about California a lot, but this is what all of our “stupid useless laws” are for.

If this gains any traction, I hope every news site, blog, etc sues Reddit for profiting off their material that fills the entire site. The comment section wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t something to comment on in the first place. Digg and Reddit didn’t even have comments at first. It was ALL content from other sources. Even “reddit original content” is" original content from a creator posted to Reddit". Reddits “value” is ephemeral.

Lol. None of my smart devices will connect to anything other than a 2.5ghz connection. Only my TV will accept 5g. The range is MUCH narrower than you think. Then figure in that the top 5 or 6 companies provide hardware for 90% of peoples home installations and that pool becomes even smaller. Also, a microwave operates on the same frequency as 2.5 and was a common disconnection problem in the past.

This is trivially easy.

So then you buy the unlocked version, just like the person said. This applies more to people leasing it who are locked in, like they said. Do you not have any reading comprehension?

It’s like weapons testing. You only move to ban testing after you’ve developed it yourself.
