Yet another benefit of green energy. Maxim Timchenko says it takes one Iskander missile to destroy a coal powered station that supplies 250k ppl. It would take 50 to destroy a wind farm with same capacity. #energysummitlondon

So it begins... @bambulabglobal.bsky.social's latest X1C firmware no longer works with OrcaSlicer. See: github.com/bambulab/Bam...

Best solution for current X1C owners: don't upgrade your firmware.
Please remove anti-debugging code in BBL network plugin · Issue #6726 · bambulab/BambuStudio

The Raspberry Pi's *greatest* feature is having significant mainline Linux kernel support + high quality patches.

Most other vendors generate the most garbage quality kernel patches you could possibly imagine. These are the SBCs running your car's infotainment system, which should explain a lot.
"I was told Rockchip no longer considers RK3588 to be an “open source” chip. In practice, that means Rockchip no longer contributes RK3588 code to open-source projects and they also decided not to sell RK3588 directly to SBC vendors." www.cnx-software.com/2024/12/21/r...

Whose idea was it that taking a screenshot on iPhone, by default, emits a loud skeumorphic camera shutter sound?
