There's a reason you don't often see machines over 300x300x400. At that point it gets hard to keep tolerances tight, requiring manufacturing changes or else you end up with printing artifacts.

This thing prints at 300mm/s at 1100x1100x820 and it's manufactured in a first world nation at low volumes.

It's hard to see, but I think they made the gantry (the whole Z platform, I mean) out of two plates of aluminum. They didn't bolt i beams together, it's just two massive plates with holes cut into them. That's the sort of engineering they did to get this thing to work at that size, with that speed.

Doing that is expensive.

Bro, can you please talk to me like I'm a normal human being?

/r/combatfootage on reddit. But you can also do it on twitter by following OSINT accounts (and you can combine the two). I just couldn't deal with the constant twitter BS anymore. They both mostly have "second hand" sources. First hand are telegram accounts, but I rather receive it filtered and sorted by votes, so I never went that far.

I'm following the combat activities (the actual combat, not high level strategic stuff). It's all mines, mines, mines and then some trench warfare.

No amount of ATACMS can do anything about that. You still have to advance slowly, figure out where the mines are, clean them up or move around them and then take the trenches.

Drones can do a whole lot more good for a whole lot less.

Narrator: But in fact, he won't.

I still have to log in via fucking RDP to set it up.

Nah you don't. I've made plenty of headless installations for windows. You think everyone with a datacenter with hundreds of windows servers logs in to each of them with RDP? You can do it with an unattended.xml file. Which is harder to do than what I had to do to make a headless raspberry pi ubuntu server. By a lot, although if you look long enough, you might be able to copy someone else's unattended.xml.

Also, Windows Event Viewer still blows

Yeah, it's... an acquired taste. You can actually script it. But it is harder than string manipulation, since the events are all objects, not strings.

Then why has every Windows admin I’ve ever had to deal with use the GUI?

Cause I'm lazy.

This is more about your windows knowledge than windows. All the stuff you're mentioning can easily be done remotely with powershell remoting.

Also, I often just SSH to windows servers. Works fine, has been like that for years now.

That's probably 150 aborted campaigns totaling 900 hours and two completed 25 hour each campaigns. Source: I'm at around 1500 hours, maybe 2000. A lot of it predates steam, so I don't know exactly.

I've only completed one campaign ever. At some point you know you've won and you're just steamrolling. So why bother.

Some people just want lossless media.

And saying it's a huge cost... 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That's really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can't know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

Also my setup is used by multiple people and that's probably fairly common. So maybe "I" can't watch that much, but "we" can.

I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry.

@Hovenko wrote that really carefully. If you interpret it literally, it basically says "some moderators are addicted to power."

Which is true. You are also right, most aren't. But some are.
