Amazon saved me from irreparable eye damage

I wonder if this is a situation of a reused item listing. The amount of review doesn't seem high enough, but I've heard that some places will edit "Amazon items" and change all details, title, photos, desc, etc to keep the good rating and feedback rather than create a new entry for a fresh product.

If the previous details had cross over to eclipse glasses I could understand a database query issue.

Mozilla takes on enterprise AI providers with Thunderbolt: Open-source and self-hostable, Thunderbolt gives organizations autonomy over how AI is built and run

Is this talking about Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5, is will this require Thunderbolt 6 when it comes out...

I don't think my cables are fast enough to load Ai, nor do I have it in my rack where I would be running an enterprise AI...

Stupid naming, why is everyone trying to cause confusion and why are so few getting into trouble for it. Maybe the original owners of the name should loose access as they are not enforcing the Trademark.

Are you posting it to start conversation here or only linking to reddit? None of these bot posts have and community involvement. I don't have a problem with things exiting in both places, nor do I mind a return of old content. Especially with things being deleted or hidden on reddit. Nostalgia can bring new ideas and conversations as understanding changes over time.

These bots just feel like advertisements for reddit. Look what you can see if you come over here....

Can mere dirt cause heatcreep?

The clogging I had was a result of creep because I was turning off the machine before the cooling fans could finish bringing the temps down. After the fans were off the heat would move up and swell the filament. After I started leaving it on longer and not using emergency stop for print failures my clogging went away.

Cyber Security Card Game

Our IT Director picked up a copy of Backdoors and Breaches for us to check out. It feels more D&D than what you show. It can be a good thing where the game play can be altered to your actual environment but that requires knowledge and planning with details that could take a long time to put together if you are not already a skilled DM.

It's unfortunate that none of the QR code scan from your photo. Do you possibly have any other pictures with a better images of a QR that might provide leads?

Hows Volumio These Days?

I don't remember why but years ago I opted for Moode over Volumino. Just upgraded from a pi2 running Moode 8 to a pi3 on Moode 10. At some point they upgraded to a 64bit base os forcing my hardware update.

Local library from a Nas, Streaming sources , mpd controls , connects with many platforms, started using it with Home Assistant music server last summer running my outdoor speakers.

The problem I've heard is that DS9 and VOY were shot directly to tape, and not film. This means that there is not a high resolution source to rescan. Another problem is that apparently the studio did not maintain an as shot copy before sfx. So even if it was possible to start with a studio quality master tape for the best source possible, you don't have a clean version to reapply effects to.

ENT was shot in HD with an updated workflow as Broadcast TV standards had evolved.

That's great to hear, and brings back hope that there is a chance. Like Dr Who, lost collections do exist if anything is missing. And fans will go to all sorts of lengths to recover source media if given the opportunity, just look at the animated show Reboot and what the teams are doing to rebuild the video equipment that was used in their processes.

Legit bots that just watch reddit communities and then link to the reddit post. If I was looking for the reddit post I would be on reddit.

If you want to support the community by spreading something you found to be fun, that's great. More power to you. Wish I had the time to share what I find enjoyable, but it's just not a priority for me right now.

And even in the case of a bot, I would feel OK if they linked to the original content and the started the thread with a initial comment along the lines of "more conversation happening over on reddit." with a link. I'm not looking for a link chain.
