  • I agree with all you said, but I think a 3D printer is actually a special type of concern next to generic cyber security and privacy, because it can affect the physical world. It’s not unthinkable that the machine can remotely be told to heat up beyond safe levels and as such create a fire risk. Not the type of device that should have an open and active connection to a server somewhere far away in my opinion.


  • dlatch@lemmy.worldto3DPrinting@lemmy.worldWould you still buy a Prusa Mini+?

    Personally, a 3D printer that has to be connected to a cloud would be a hard no. Even more so when that cloud is located in China without EU or US oversight.

    For what it’s worth (annecdotal and n=1 and all that), my Prusa mini has been absolutely flawless for 3 years now. I would buy it again even at a higher price point than the current.


  • You need to see this in the current context though, this polling is done after two months of heavy bombing by Israel. The sentiment in Gaza at the moment is not exactly positive towards Israel right now, and rightly so.

    The one that for me is a key point is how small the believe in a two state solution has become and the other ones related to the believe in a peaceful situation. This is what I have been thinking all the time - Israel has created a situation in which peace with Gaza is becoming impossible. There is an entire generation now that will not be able to forgive Israel. Short term, they may be able to defeat Hamas, but there is no way that this will be a stable situation. But I guess Bibi just needs it to last for as long as he intends to be in power, and doesn’t give a shit about what comes after.






  • Reposting this what I posted a few times here already:

    Let me ask you two questions.

    If Hamas is using the Palestinian people as shields and is forcefully preventing civilians from moving away from them, that makes the Palestinian people effectively hostages of Hamas. So if the Palestinian hostages happen to be near Hamas terrorists, are they acceptable collateral damage if Israel bombs them?

    Eventually, Israel will find out where the Israeli hostages are being kept. Obviously, there will be Hamas terrorists near them. Are the Israeli hostages acceptable collateral damage if Israel bombs them?

    If you answered yes to one question, and no to the other, you should ask yourself why you put different value on the lives of innocent human beings. Is it what side of a fence they are born on? What nationality they happen to have? What religion they believe in? The color of their skin?


  • Leaving the obvious moral horrificness of what Israel is doing aside, it’s also quite moronic that they’re giving Hamas exactly what it wants, while driving the civilians of Gaza, the people who’s “hearts and minds” they need to win for a chance at real peace in the region, even further away. All while rapidly throwing away the goodwill they have with the rest of the world. Strategically, Israel is gaining nothing from this apart from a quick win for Netanyahu with his own population, so he can stay in power.
