Sometimes it's for legal reasons. Sometimes it's for big picture reasons you aren't privy to. Sometimes it's because some dumbass middle manager thinks they're a genius. And sometimes it's because some dumbass middle manager didn't have a team member say "Hey what about this instead."

Having fumbled my way into a management position of sorts, I've seen all of these. Sometimes I get to say "oh yeah, that works way better, do that instead." Others, "it sucks but it has to be this way because (big picture stuff)", and of course "yeah it's fucking retarded but the powers that be have decreed it, do what you can and enjoy the shit show."

I've only seen that happen when one particular order is waiting on something. It's a good move because it gets that person out of line so other orders can be filled while they wait instead of holding up the whole line. If they did that to every order they'd just be wasting time making an employee run out to the parking lot every single order and trust me they don't want to do that.

You mean the teenage mutant ninja turtles, trained to operate in the shadows, didn't really need a blimp??

Fuck tesla in general, but this isn't even that. It's the cost of early adoption. The founder's edition of basically anything is going to be more expensive and less refined than following versions. Once production picks up, nobody really cares about used first runs because it's more of a show-off piece. He's just realizing that the number of people who fawn over his steel box isn't enough to justify keeping that piece of shit.

Haha, my ender is printing at 20mm/s to avoid slippage, with the bed scraper jammed into to filament guide to make it actually grab and feed, and at 105% extrusion, but it's still chugging along. After a few restarts to get the fan spinning, that it.

Outsourcing hacking? Not bad.

I think the word would be swap. I thought you put the sticks in different ports every once in a while and thought "does that help it last longer?" for a second.

I remember the 5450! I got one when wrath of the lich king dropped because my Dell integrated graphics couldn't handle strand of the ancients. That baby got me from 2 FPS to 15. Served me until I left for school.

Yes! Just found a news report about it a few minutes ago and added it but thanks for finding a fuller version.
