One of these persons is not like the others...

Not quite... I mean depending on what you're comparing it to. Like if you compare it to a person doing it—breathing, eating, space(home, office...), electricity...—the Ilm is much more efficient. Now a random person that wouldn't have produced any image, text, song.. whatever, that is now generating a hundred of them a day is, indeed, very wasteful and bad for the environment.

For comparison, the co2 emissions from training gpt3 were equivalent to 1250 people's breathing for a year.

Now about the stealing part, I'm not very fond of 'intellectual property' very much myself, nor am I very respectful of it, so I will not discuss it.

I've been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It's usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.

Thank you!

Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn't convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.

Parking is cheaper No TSA fingering your asshole Tickets are cheaper Safer travel On the ground Can take the next train if late

These aren't (completely) true where I live, it's still more convenient to take a plane or even drive to go to another major city 500-600km away, which is ridiculous specially considering that it's consistently ranked among the best high speed rail systems in the world.

money, the copyright and the politics

Of course, the things that haven't affected the internet or haven't been affected by it at all.

Yep I know. These are the ones the company buys. I've tried others when I had to buy a box while out and about but n a hardware store or even a supermarket. Latex gets destroyed very fast, I didn't notice much of a difference with vinyl.. but you are right I have to try if some other material goes better. The thing is I don't have a clue what the fuck they put in the inks and nobody seems to be able to tell me.

I sincerely doubt these newcomers can achieve at their first try what well established manufacturers haven't through revision after revision of their machines. The price is the first clue, flatbed uv printers this size start at about ten thousand. Also, important information like which printhead they mount, printing speed (m2/h), uv lamp wattage.. is missing which is suspicious at best.

Not at all like a resin printer. Imagine a hybrid: the top part is an inkjet printer with a printhead that goes side-to-side shooting ink but instead of paper sliding under it there's a flatbed not unlike the one in a filament 3D printer. The ink is cured by a uv lamp (or more than one, but I suspect this printer has only one and very small and weak since the smaller lamp I work with costs more than this hole printer) usually fixed to the side of the printhead 'carriage'.

No. Just don't! You nerds, tinkerers, hackers, makers... listen to me: DO NOT BUY THIS.

I didn't think I'd have to read the words 'Consumer UV printer' ever. It's just a deranged concept. UV printers are the worst kind of machines there are. Imagine an inkjet printer but a thousand times worse, I'm not joking. I work with these, but professional/industrial ones, in professional printshops, and they are an absolute toothache for my customers (again, professionals that make a living with printers and similar equipment). The customers like me, because I'm the one solving them problems (even if the bill for the solutions is more often than not a few thousands) but I'm sure the salespeople look under their cars every morning.

This will only be a hole in your pocket, a piece of junk taking up space in your home, and even a hazard to your health or your kids' or pets'–UV ink is some nasty shit before curing, some of them make my hands itch even trough the nitrile gloves, and you have to handle and dispose of the waste ink properly ie hiring some waste management service.

It's true that you can make beautiful things with them, but for a home it's just not worth it, just take your designs and your media (the things you want to print on) to a print shop and have them printed there.

The installation in my home follows my country's regulations as they were ~15 years ago. It's divided into several circuits, the 'general use' outlets one is rated for 25A in total AND at any point, ie you could plug a 5750W appliance in any of those outlets. The lights circuit is the lowest rated at 15A, still letting you 'plug' up to 3450W.
