FreeCAD definitely has a steeper learning curve and a few rough edges, but to me it was absolutely worth it to learn. I really don't like my files subject to the whims of Autodesk.

Sure, you can print minis with an FFF machine. But there's a reason the mini printing folks primarily use SLA. For that particular application, it's significantly better. I say this as someone who uses an Ender 3 and is quite happy with it. If my main goal was printing minis, I would probably want an SLA machine instead.

If your goal is to make mini figures, what you want is an SLA machine. They are much better at making small detailed objects than FFF. However, it will definitely cost more than a cheap FFF machine like an Ender 3.

The Ender 3 variants are cheap and a great platform if you are OK with tuning/tweaking things. If set up properly they work great and are pretty reliable. But of you want something that works out of the box and doesn't need any tweaking/tuning, you will probably be disappointed with it.

This is why Google has been using their browser monopoly to push their "Web Integrity API". If that gets adopted, they can fully control the client side and prevent all ad blocking.

No, it's significant because attackers can pump out way more emails while also making them customized to their targets and constantly changing to help avoid detectors.

They almost certainly won't. Every so often they make a big show of these raids and then quietly drop it later. Check out some of Jim Browning's videos to see how the raids work out.

Greatly increasing taxes for the super wealthy and closing tax loopholes would be a good start.

Honestly, I think his communication here is fine. He's probably going to offend some people at NIST, but it seems like he's already tried the cooperative route and is now willing to burn some bridges to bring things to light.

It reads like he's playing mathematics and not politics, which is exactly what you want from a cryptography researcher.

The system will be secure for personal use as before.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. CPU side channels allow data to be leaked across security contexts. For example, from a user process to sandboxed JavaScript in a browser, from kernel space to user space, or from one containerized process to another. This is a problem even on a single user system without any VMs.

What do you define as "source" for an AI model? Training code? Training data set?

That's much easier said than done. For game developers that already have games based on unity released or in development, changing to another engine is an expensive and time consuming development effort.

Who ever said signal is anonymous? Secure, private, encrypted - yes. But definitely not anonymous.
