People are pissed because they don't want to accept that a) most of supermarkets food is bad and b) you need to cook yourself in order to eat properly.

We call it shopping around the outside of the supermarket, and it's how you find the food that won't kill you I'm 46. I'm obese, but in otherwise perfect health by every biological marker and test that they can run. Blood pressure is normal. Cholesterol is great. Glucose is great. A1c test is fine. Liver and kidney functions are fine. Everything's fine.

The key is, eat things from the outside ring of the store, not the middle cookie sections.

I haven't gotten that "not too much" part down yet.


That's an interesting POV. I'd have to check if my local supermarkets also have an inner circle.

For me it's mostly avoiding supermarkets alltogether except for specific (fresh) things and buy everything else online, from the producer or farmer whenever I can.


To be fair there are about 2 Linux in the top 10 :)


I guess i am not the only one who actually likes that Gimp is the same software I got used to many years ago just a lot better.

No need to relearn anytime I have to edit something.


I think there is room for both approaches. Like it or not, photoshop/adobe is the defacto standard everything else is measured from. A compatibility layer like Inkscape does for illustrator has for PS-like behavior is welcome to bring “industry” users in the fold.

My primary use case for gimp is using path and selection tools for removing backgrounds and the UI and shortcuts in gimp are painful coming from a decade of adobe use.


Nobody wants to have German work culture in their country tho. Arbeitszeit betrug is Like a morbid joke.


For lazy arch try manjaro. I love arch, but I am lazy so my machines mostly just run manjaro. Same fun, less of these issues


Honestly I don't regret going with Bambu. Yes they suck in a way I get it. However the time and money I spent into my ender to keep it barely alive is all wasted compared to these machines that just run perfectly out of the package.

Sure prusa is fine too, and other brands might are getting there too. But if you want to print as a tool I would recommend to just use the tool nearly everyone is agreeing on.

I didn't regret it once, and have 3 printers at this point (2 of which free thanks to Bambu points)

Also I am still amazed that my $150 A1 mini is basically just as good as the X2D or P2S.


I was offered to return it or try to fix it myself. In the end the fix was even easier than initially thought and it's working great since. No idea if that's because I am in the EU market and not US. They did take their time to respond but otherwise service was ok.


Same here. When I needed them they were on the ball. Though I haven't had a difficult or complex problem yet.


Soon enough it will be


I get why. But that still seems wasteful


But would it be more wasteful than shipping a parcel with broken equipment?


If the old one could still be used, they shouldn’t send a new one anyway.


Well, if it can still be repaired but the producer doesn't want to bother and just sends a new fan, that's fine. That doesn't mean a repairable product should be destroyed and sent to a landfill just because it makes Noctua's logistics easier.


The point is, if the owner thinks it can be repaired, they shouldn’t call for a replacement in the first place. And indeed they wouldn’t get one, because they wouldn’t break the blade. So it’s completely under control of the owner.


Sure but the owner could've technically been left with a spare part in this case

Though it's not that likely that users will try to replace the blades on a fan.


Anecdotally, when my Xtrfy MZ1 mouse cable started shorting 5V to ground, they required a similar process (cutting the cable) before sending a replacement.

This was their response when I asked why: > Yes this policy was put in place because there was multiple instances of people reselling their faulty products after receiving a replacement.

> The secondhand buyers then reached out to us, let down to have received a broken product.

I'd imagine it's a similar reason for Noctua.


It’s a chilling effect on folks that buy one noctua fan and want to get another free one by claiming the first one is broken.


Both of which are rather disappointing and wouldn't really stand out more than any other nice colour
