3 for 3 here. I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to disseminate and consume information/news, ask and answer questions, and learn things.

I saw an old friend post a few years ago asking if anyone else's students didn't know what file directories were. And I don't mean freshman in a general class. This was a summer interns in a hard science. The responses to the post were essentially "yeah they only know how to search for files."

I really started using computers for more than gaming with windows 95, and it wasn't until college when I switched to Linux that I got serious about file directory hygiene, but even in those win95 days I knew where everything was on my computer. I fundamentally don't understand how you can use computers without understanding that.

One interesting use for the ams system is automatic filament switching for when you want to finish a spool that has ??? Kg of filament left and you need a print to finish over night. Throw the questionable one in slot one and the new one in slot two, tell they system they are they same and it will switch over on run out.

Always good to hear your old favorites again. He's done some great things, but it feels like investors just cart him out to make unsubstantiated claims in the last 20 years and this is coming from someone that was there for populous and dungeon keeper (I still have the original that I bought).

They don't seem to work very well with the AMS system from Bambu. Good news is can occasionally transplant them to a reusable (and printable too) spool.

I've used baconreader for well over a decade and stopped using the website almost entirely after the redesign (yes I do use old.reddit whenever I access the website. Probably just a coincidence/cell phone screens and batteries for big enough and that time). I just downloaded jerboa and it feels like a BR clone, I'm guessing they are built using the same libraries/frameworks.
