My use cases:

* Replacement controller for my UFO Catcher - It has WiFi, easy to update, and I can operate the machine remotely with it. It's bolted to the back of small touchscreen that lets me change the machine settings as well.

* Remote printer access - I can monitor from the USB cameras and gather statistics about the prints.(I suspect a lot of 3D printing enthusiasts use them for this purpose.)

Having a small low power computer has been useful for me in those instances.


Change the audio language to "English descriptive".

The font size on this site is massive and zooming out causes the font to resize back to the same massive font size.

Why?! ;_;


I have four Prusa printers for my business with thousands of hours of print time. The worst issue that I have had is a finicky filament sensor that I temporarily disabled until I could fix it.

I see it as buying printers design for industrial usage versus printers for hobby. Prusa is selling me a tool that just works every time.


I'm not sure if he still does it, but last time I checked he maintains a giant warehouse of these things in Prague that assemble themselves. That's the biggest advertisement for their industrialness that you can make - the printer literally manufactures itself in an industrial setting.


> Not necessarily? There was a post just a year ago on how somebody jailbroke the kindle books from the web UI.

I used that research to build something similar. It only works for manga and comics right now, but I have been tinkering with implementing glyph support as well to be able to handle full books.

The original research is here, but the web site is down right now. https://blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle-web-drm/


Probably not the best place to ping for technical support, but, since you claim to be the author, and I don't see any "Issues" on your GH...

Any idea why your script does not seem to flag as a valid greasemonkey script when I try to use it in the Falkon (KDE) browser? Even if I attempt to add it manually, the script then disappears from my gm scripts.


> I don't see any "Issues" on your GH...

Issues and PRs are available to open.(I just have not gotten any yet.)

> Any idea why your script does not seem to flag as a valid greasemonkey script when I try to use it in the Falkon (KDE) browser?

Honestly, no idea. I have only tested it with Tampermonkey on Firefox. Manually installing it should still work.


Add Mailchimp in there as well. I have never gotten an email from someone using Mailchimp that was not spam.


Although they does have proper abuse policies and do take action against spammers. I don't get any spam from them (except perhaps the very occasional one), and I know businesses that use mailchimp and similar services for valid marketing (to previous customers). Just looking through my received mailbox, I see many legitimate emails from mailchimp.

I'm not denying that they are sometimes used by spammers, but they are definitely a legitimate operation that takes action against spammers if you report them.


Many of my consciously subscribed-to newsletters use Mailchimp, such as record shops and labels.

They're also one of the mail services I have a better impression of given their responses to my reports.


I have compensated hundreds to thousands of dollars to content creators to promote my products and have had content creators ask for thousands up front. It really depends on channel size and market. It also depends on what deliverables are being asked for. Logo on screen, 30 second advertisement reading, link in description, pinned comments, accompanying social media post, etc. Some content creators will haggle on all the pieces while others will accept a flat rate for a typical package deal of deliverables.


GPU hardware accelerated encoding/decoding is only in the paid version as well.


Although MacOS users get this on the free version if they are using M-series chips


And they paywalled the ability to install the foss reactor plugin.


Using Gemini 3 Pro Preview, it told me in mostly polite terms, that I'm a fucking idiot. Like I would expect a close friend to do when I'm going about something wrong.

ChatGPT with the same prompt tried to do whatever it would take to please me to make my incorrect process work.


I got the same but it was wrong


Then for some web sites it won't matter and display the dominant language of the country that you're accessing from. My Firefox sends US English as the only preferred language, but a ton of US tech companies default to showing web sites in Japanese without a way to change it because I access them from Japan. It's pretty typical of American companies that don't understand localization and accessibility.
