GDPR is for commercial products, not government mandated ID.

There is zero chance it would be implemented in a way that would protect privacy.

Right, because guns weren't used to settle disputes in America until very recent history. /s

Respectful, I disagree. I've learned a lot from people making small comments like that, even when they're unintentionally blunt.

Yeah, this is 100% self-preservation. The article says they are in favor of age verification but want it done at the device level which is a much larger threat to privacy.

Helpful by sharing information they believed to be true, that they thought you might not have heard/known. I don't see any malice in their post or any expectation that you change what you're doing.

I don't think that was meant as criticism, it seemed like they were trying to be helpful.

Awesome keeb, BTW!

What did you program your knobs to do? All of the above?

Leaving your job qualifies as a "life changing event" and allows you to sign up for private insurance under ACA. You don't need to wait for open enrollment.

You know, you can pay for private health insurance if you don't have a job. And if you have an emergency fund or (micro) retirement fund, it should include funds for health insurance.

Right? If it's in drinking water, why wouldn't it also be in beer?

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
