Some find it funny to be performative and larp as AI. Some maybe hope they can influence actual bots. Most probably are just doing it to screencap and farm engagement on "human" social media, which ironically probably have a much higher bot to human ratio.

In my teens I ran a combination ipmasq(NAT, this was back when we called it ip masquerading) firewall and dial-up POP for my girlfriend at the time off a scrap 386 motherboard some ISA NICs and a 3.5" 1.44MB floppy drive. It was packed full of SIMMs, I don't remember how much probably 8MB RAM.
The userspace was all in the initramfs, linux booted directly without any LILO or GRUB (this was back in the days the kernel included its own boot loader), and the floppy drive was totally out of the picture once the system was up and running from RAM.
Prior to adding the dial-up aspect for my gf to share my internet from her home, the init was deliberately exited which technically panicked the kernel. Basically it was a /linuxrc shell script setting up the networking then deliberately breaking userspace - not even PID1 existed while it was just my firewall. The kernel keeps doing networking stuff even if panicked.
Fun times.

I mean hey these days you dont necessarily need some external bootloader either, on uefi systems the kernel can boot itself thanks to the efi stub.
Not surprised with how much they cost these days, not to mention how much more conscious people tend to be about most juices being just another sugary drink.
If people really want juice theres much cheaper orange-focused fruit blends, and for people who want real OJ the non-concentrate stuff isnt that much more expensive.

I bought a bambu p1s recently and it can be used entirely offline.
You can import models to orcaslicer (open source), do your slicing, and export the g code file to SD card.
If you want to skip the SD card, block the printer's mac/ip address at the firewall and set up WiFi. Then send the print directly from orcaslicer.
That being said, my gut says bambu is going to slowly require a persistent connection to the cloud at some point. Maybe they think they are an EV car company.
I'm not so sure. You've had people insisting that, or how they'll lock it to only their own NFC tagged filaments but lets be real, if they start imposing serious restrictions most purchases would go to other makers.
They make solid enough devices sure, but they dont exactly have a moat that would keep users buying their stuff if it were to start getting locked down. They have far more to lose than they have to gain doing so.

How many levels of red tape does it take to get to $50k per sidewalk curb ramp would be my question more than anything.

ASA and ABS really need a good filtration. Like actual filtration, not what the enclosure has. I personally just run a duct to my window and vent outside.
Apart from the reply you've already received, most the bad stuff like plastic nanoparticles in the air and many hard to detect VoCs are also rather blatantly an issue with PLA and other filaments.
People focus too much on smell as the only indicator.

Not the person you’re replying to, but I can see the appeal of PLA. It has more color options and prints way easier.
I personally run all PETG because it is ultimately better material post-print, and once you understand how to print with it, it’s not really much harder to deal with.
The day I discovered that I should just run my dryer with the PETG inside while printing was revolutionary. Of course, that requires you own a dryer that allows the filament to print while it’s inside.
I get some the appeal too but once you get a setup dialed in well and safely for ASA/ABS, theres rarely a reason to want to print either PLA or PETG.
Better ratio of weight to strength, far more durable parts for most jobs, and acetone smoothening opens up all sorts of doors to incredibly high quality prints without all the labor of sanding.

PLA-CF is not particularly stronger than PLA. Some properties are improved, mostly geometric stability and appearance, but the carbon fiber acts more like defects in the plastic than strengthening. It’s got very little of the benefits that you’d imagine based upon n experience with regular carbon fiber.
This. CF rarely makes a print stronger, usually just helps make some materials more forgiving to print. Particularly useful for warping prone ones.
