And times and again, I am wondering why tf someone would downvote sth innocent and helpful as this…

Well this probably will make things more expensive to produce, and the customer mass will blame the risen prices on the EU.

Ty for the driver recommendation. Kid destroyed their pair almost instantly. Still dunno how.

Yes, the pads were totally worth importing from Japan through Austria to Germany, and only a bit over $12 then!

TY for the recommendation!

Yup, got not so much hair left now :-). Added some Xaxi pads for them, really worth the hassle getting.

Koss PortaPro headset. Always wanted one as a kid, saw them again and bought them.

Only thing that comes to my mind are old Fujitsu-Siemens workstations, their mainboards were assembled in Germany (Augsburg afaik). But those times are gone now.

Don’t mess with us…

Well the Greens already invited Merz to discuss this topic before the elections and Merz and his CSU cronies denied, and now took the Green’s votes for granted w/o even talking to them. So, Merz probably should first learn some basic manners before going into politics.

edit: removed a “probably”

Nice nick ;-)

Vielleicht hat ja bald auch niemend Bock mehr, mit der CDU zu koalieren: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/union-anfrage-organisationen-102.html

People here, at least for the last 50+ years, used to have a quite comfortable, safe lifestyle, with various state institutions taking care of shit. If anything (and may it only be a small thing) is taken away from them, or goes wrong, or cannot be sustained anymore, they start to complain that everything is breaking down.

In short: Entitlement and a tendency to nag and take everything for granted, plus inflexibility and unwillingness to change/think out of the box.

Personal humble opinion of a German.

Some 2nd gen Intel Acer Aspire (?) SFF with an older gen NVIDIA card. Last Windows machine in the household due to WAF.

Nah they were calling for help, too.

I wouldn’t totally subscribe to that, having worked with Chinese allowed to travel. There’s acceptance to the rules active incountry, but very much subversive energy and sarcasm/cynicism abroad, and willingness to break the rules. If one manages to get them to open up a bit. I’ve worked with tech folks only, though.

“…with exposed management interfaces on the public internet.”

Yes. These are great machines. Please know, though, that p.e. the camera does inexplicably not work in LAN only mode (i.e. when not connected to the bambu cloud service), and that the AMS lite cannot fit every filament spool in the world due to its construction. First can be remedied with a separate webcam in your LAN, second with printed adaptors, alternative spools or just some squishy material (if the spool’s too big). I found that spools from dasfilament and recent ones from sunlu fit ok.

This was what most annoyed me on my Ender 3. Now with a bambu A1 its fire-and-forget. And no failed prints yet, with daily use.

I’m dreading their outcome…
