I finally decided to order the Bambu H2S. Quite the upgrade from my modded Anet A8!
@ashley.dev We chatted about this printer at the Github conf and noted it doesn't have the side windows... I ordered one for mine! This is a great hack with available spare parts! www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/c...

It’s official 🚀 The ViaSat-3 F2 payload is now integrated with ULA's Atlas V rocket – one step closer to launch on November 5th, pending range approval.

Great 1st day at #GitHubEnterprise, learned how AI can help, not just in coding (and where it shouldn't be used), vibe-coded a neat PR for the badges, won a LEGO building contest, drove an F1 car (sim), built a GitHub lamp, met @ashley.dev IRL. Can't wait for day 2!

@littlefreelibrary.bsky.social I just had a woman drive up and exchange 8 books (seemingly at random because she certainly didn't spend enough time to examine them) for 8 books in her car. Should I have stopped her? I asked her how many. What she did doesn't seem like it's in the spirit of this.

Notice the similarities? Assuming it's done and taking credit, when it clearly isn't done.
