  • That doesn’t mean anything to a patent troll company like Stratasys. They have tons of generalized patents issued in the last few years on things the 3d printer community has been using as prior art for decades prior and they are using that as a basis to take down Bambu. Like heated beds, lmfao. They’ll make some shit up and sue anyway because they’re becoming irrelevant and are unable to compete legitimately anymore. And the Texas court well known for protecting corporate interests will hand them whatever they want.

    The wii is still a staple of party nights in my friend group. It’s hardware is frankly kinda shit but the quality game design and innovative controllers are just not something any other console or computer can ever replace.

    It’s too bad Nintendo stopped doing cool shit and is just a lawyer-run IP milking house now.






  • Losing advanced semiconductors is more than a market crash led by the tech majors. It would be the partial collapse of western industry and most of our way of life. Every single fragile tendril of modern infrastructure is run by a computer or microprocessor that has a 100% chance of using components from Taiwan or China. The second any of those controller components cannot be easily replaced, that system goes down for weeks, possibly months if not a year, before a suitable replacement can be conjured or re-engineered to use a different domestically produced system. We are talking power plants, water plants, sewer plants, any and every kind of factory, everything.
