I assume it’s c) other: You’re trying to keep lemmies talking, which is appreciated. 🙂

The Dude abides.

In addition to “Survival Mode” I’ve also heard this called “Crisis Management”. Not sure if that’s what you were looking for.

Streamlight makes some simple on/off models. Like the Streamlight Microstream 66323. Very bright for its small size.

I won’t claim it’s the equivalent of the Bambu Labs FDM printer, because I’ve never done FDM printing.

On top of that, I’m only familiar with the one resin printer I’ve used.

Anyway, it’s an Anycubic Photon Mono X 4k. I’ve had really good luck with it, and I’ve printed over 200 miniatures and other things. I’ve had some failed prints but they were almost always my fault for doing something dumb, and there haven’t been that many overall. I’m guessing easily less than 5%.

I wouldn’t recommend the exact same model as mine, because they have newer ones (like an 8k version of mine and some others).

But I would definitely recommend the Anycubic Photon line as worth looking into. Read some reviews & watch some videos.

Good luck!

Some call this Cunningham’s Law. It is remarkable how people will ignore a question, but trip over themselves to correct someone. Pedants are going to be pedantic (but may have a useful answer occasionally).

The developers where I work sometimes use this trick on our users. When they can’t get a response from the users on a request for design input or feedback on something (which happens a lot) the devs will sometimes release some piece of garbage looking thing, and then the users will very quickly put in support cases with the requested info telling them the missing stuff, etc.

Human nature is why we can’t have nice things.

Thank you, this is the sort of thing I was trying to point out. And I love how he ignored all my other points just to focus on this one ISO or installer he’s using over and over again to “prove” that he’s right.

Funny part is, I never said it was the default in the original post anyway. The whole point is, if it’s turned on, you may want to turn it off.

There is also a registry hack for this but I have not looked into it or tested it. (And I agree with your sentiments re: Microsoft.)

First of all I believe you are incorrect.

You’re doing a single anecdotal “test” from (I assume) one copy of the installation media. News flash, not all installation images of Windows 11 are the same.

And I will answer your anecdotal evidence with some anecdotal evidence of my own: almost every friend and coworker I’ve asked about this says Autoplay is on. And when I check Google or ChatGPT, they confirm that a fresh install of Windows 11 will have it on by default. So…I guess everyone else is wrong about this but you’re right about every installation of Windows 11.

Secondly, your question ignores the fact that people should probably check to see if it’s on. It can get turned on accidentally or even by an update. Microsoft is constantly messing arbitrarily with user preferences and settings with their weekly updates. You do know that, right?

Finally, you posted some version of this same reply multiple times in this thread. Why? Are you just doing that to “get upvotes for fun”?

BTW, there’s no karma on lemmy…upvotes don’t matter.

It’s fine to correct someone, but first do a better job of checking your methodology, and second, don’t assume their motivations for trying to share helpful info.

Think of it as a seatbelt. You don’t plan on crashing your car, but shit happens. It’s even possible a brand new USB drive from a “reputable” company could have something on it.

Good catch, I forgot that one! And the other classic is having waste excreting plumbing and reproductive plumbing all bunched together.

So many poor “design choices” in human anatomy. (Note, I know there’s no intelligent design).

The optic nerve. External testicles. Lack of decent fur. The way some nerves and blood vessels are routed make zero sense. An immune system that often wants to kill you. The list goes on. I’m sure a biologist or medical person could add plenty more. Many animals have some of these traits, too. If some trait or process is just barely good enough, nature will chug along with it for millions of years. Nature is all about some redneck engineering.

Started paying off debt, saving, and investing consistently over 25 years ago. It has really worked out, and my wife and I are more financially secure than most. Even still, we’re one health crisis away from potential bankruptcy, because we live in the United States.

I remember reading a very long (but fascinating) 11 part series of posts a couple of years ago on reddit about scummy stupid Blizzard. Here it is, if anyone still cares.

I feel you. My thoughts often spill out that way, too.

Lots of compound sentences. And a “tone” suitable for USA Today. At least, that’s the vibe I get from ChatGPT.

“Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?”

If the frog starts singing the Ozempic song, do you punch it across the room?

The standard answer is “security”…and that may be true in some cases.

But a lot of it is just job justification. Some beleaguered coder somewhere has to do a thing because their manager has to do a thing because their director has to do a thing and so on. Box checking exercises.

Yes, I have noticed a lot of activity in that community! I do some resin printing myself. Most folks in there appear to be using filament, but I’m grateful they are so active.

It’s not too surprising that some dedicated DIY 3d printing “maker” type people gravitate towards the fediverse.
