Would you recommend a 3018 pro for a beginner? I just want to do some smaller things but have a few small soft metal things. I just don’t want to spend $2,000 for a 50x50 machine when I want to try a few small things.

Which cnc? I want to get one but I just need a desktop one and am trying to figure out how much I want to spend.

I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.

If you bought a PC in 2018 or later it should support tpm in the CPU, if it doesn’t it’s on Dell or HP or whomever made the system. If you built a pc you can buy a TPM for most motherboards.

Microsoft said you can pay for updates for windows 10 if you want. If your parents core i5-2700 with 4gb of ram from 2012 will no longer get free updates… that seems fair… or go to Linux, but we know most people won’t. Honestly it would be a great time for a “convert to chromeOS installer”

And that’s why I like working from home

There is also a big enterprise group who write extra verbose legacy java, vs a more modern light way to write

I have already seen my and other companies say things like “we were going to role vSAN but after our recent license talks we are not”

Android OEMs also get android…

I feel like anyone doing any automation with aws could hit this

It makes it not feel like a premium device

Another worry could be: how do you know if it’s a real victim who needs help, or an AI generated image.

I love the little robots

The brave browser allows you to Picture in Picture and blocks ads!

Also Brave Browser, I use it just for YouTube. It allows backgrounding of videos, Picture in Picture, and ad blocks.

How long till all the trains are delayed because people in masks pushed it on the tracks

Years ago I bought the app for android, iPhone, and web because for work I needed it on different devices. When they changed the pricing model I got a email saying because of my support and having paid them that many times, I was given lifetime premium for free. They were owned by a different company back then, but I really appreciated the move and have it to this day.
