I don’t know anyone who says “I need (x of weight) worth of peanut butter!” And then uses the weight as the measurement.

This isnt what that price is for.

Say I’m buying ketchup. Bottle A is 725ml and costs $5. Bottle B is 967ml and costs $6. Giving you the cost / mL tells you which one is actually cheaper, not which one costs less.

Everyone I know says “I need peanut butter. Oh, $6.97 is less than $8.27” and never checks the weight.

If this truly is the case, be happy that nobody you know is struggling to pay for groceries 😉

Someone else already said that Legolas’s involvement was created for the movies, but I will point out that Thranduil, Legolas’s father, is the Elvenking that imprisons them in the book (though he is not given the name Thranduil in “The Hobbit”), and Gimli’s relation to Gloin is also from the books.

So the meme stands to book lore if changed to, “the son of someone who…”

Gonna be honest, can’t say I’ve ever seen a cheese commercial before

Real ones know that it’s

The first badge is “Savings Starter”, which implies that using the app is providing some sort of discount. The badges may not be directly tied to a discount but the app most certainly gives you one, that’s how all of these things work.

When my Win10 desktop needs replacement in a year or 2, getting a Linux desktop.

What’s stopping you from installing Linux now? I don’t think you can just “get” a Linux desktop, though I’d be happy to be wrong.

I’m not sure where that assumption comes from, or again it’s relevance to the conversation, but I had a couple platforms growing up. Most of them were hand me downs. My earlier childhood was spent on a PlayStation 2, and my teen years were shared between the 360, Wii, and my shitty laptop.

I saw that after my first comment, I’m still not really sure how this is supposed to mean the death of Windows. Another mobile PC device running SteamOS isn’t going to disrupt Window’s position (though it is of course nice to see more handhelds on the market running the OS), and Valve saying they’ll soon release a user-installable beta is nowhere near what some are making it out to be. People are acting like they just released a stable Linux distro meant to replace your main OS; the news is exciting, but it’s not the death of Windows, at least not for a long while.

I feel like we’re having two different conversations.

The OP is acting like as soon as people “have the option” to switch to something else, they will, and Windows will be dead. SteamOS, however, has been a thing for a couple years now, and easily configurable Linux distributions for even longer, so saying that Windows is dead 30 minutes after release isn’t really wishful thinking, it just… Didn’t happen.

Your argument is that SteamOS has potential to upset the gaming OS market, which I’m not at all disagreeing with.

My comments had nothing to do with “what corpos use”, I’m talking about Steam’s user statistics. Over 90% of steam users are on Windows, and that’s with the incredibly popular Steam Deck taken into consideration.

Let it be clear that I’m not at all a Windows fanboy, I fucking hate the OS. I use it because I’m too lazy to set up Linux, and a few games I play are known to not work. Something SteamOS can change, but not something it already has.

I’m not really sure why it’s relevant to this conversation? But mainly game, homework, and 3d modeling stuff.

Does steam deck not run Steam OS…? What the Deck was meant to do is irrelevant, the OS it comes with and the OS mentioned in the OP in no way shut Windows down

In what world? The steam deck is almost 3 years old, Windows is still on top and it’s not even close

There was a viral video from like 2015 or so (I think it was a Vine) where a guy asks a kid, “what’s 10 plus 9?” The kid looks up and immediately says “21!” to which the original person replies, “ya stupid”.

I don’t think it actually has anything to do with the image, just a post ironic shit post.

I think it all depends on the sincerity and scale of the compliment. If someone just offhandedly says that your shoes are cool, it’s ok to just say thanks and move on. But if someone makes a specific compliment on something close to you, like pointing out a part of your project they like, it might be more appropriate to talk about choices you made, how it was done etc.

If Bambu were out there suing people for stuff they didn’t make, I’d be more in line with calling them thieves. But the work they have used is still freely available to anyone who wants to use it. Similar to how Sovol sells what is essentially a preassembled Voron; I’m an engineer, I wouldn’t buy one because I’d rather do it myself. But to the hundreds of thousands of people who wouldn’t want to spend a week building a printer, but love the design and concept of the Voron, they now have the option. Everyone with their Voron can continue using it, and everyone who wants to just buy one can.

I mean, look at the computer industry/ hobby. Started off with a bunch of enthusiats building crap in their garage. Computers became important, businesses started taking note, and now when the average person thinks of a home computer, they think “Dell, HP, Apple”. But all the other stuff didn’t just go away. There’s still a huge, thriving community of people who slapped their stuff together and run the jankiest, least proprietary OS possible on them. Nothing’s stopping them from doing what they want to do, but now everyone else can do it, too.

Bambu changed everything for the worst and forced everyone to lower expectations and business practices.

I’m sorry, Bambu forced people to LOWER their expectations…? What expectations are you talking about?

Bambu made everyone want a printer that prints insanely fast, with incredible quality and zero hassle. I have a friend who is the least tech savvy person I’ve ever met, he genuinely barely knows how to use a computer, but his Bambu prints circles around my heavily modified and upgraded Neptune 3.

If your “expectations” are literally just, “it’s open source and I can do whatever I want” then yeah a Bambu won’t meet those expectations. But that’s a far cry from “everyone’s” expectations, and I definitely wouldn’t say that they “forced” other businesses to follow suite.

Bambu is making printing accessible to non-enthusiasts. Their products aren’t always going to align with what old-heads are looking for, but the benefit of knowing what you’re doing is that you can decide for yourself not to go that route. Nothing on God’s green Earth can stop you from sourcing parts and building a Voron that does exactly what you want, no matter what Bambu does, but now that 3D printing is entering the mainstream, the mainstream needs a way to print, and Bambu is there to fill that gap in the market.

Yeah, most LLMs I’ve used tend to use phrases like TBH and …etc.
