I don't think the tolerances would be too bad. A lot of prints that have tight tolerances have a test piece that you print and test against a known object, which let's you adjust your print to get tighter tolerances. Once you correct for the expansion of the plastic, getting the right tolerances should be totally doable.

I think as an initial go, I would recommend just getting raspbian/Linux in general onto a pi or other board, and messing with the CLI. Just having a pi and being comfortable trying things out is huge. Plus, with it being on a micro SD card, you can very easily break things and wipe the card and recreate your setup.
It's an insight because many people can't drop thousands on top of the line gear. Yes streaming is expensive, but if a family has disposable income, odds are they're going to go for the lower hanging fruit and just get the streaming package, because the alternative is saving for X months/years for parts that are going to be useful, yes, but also completely wipe out savings.
I feel that. One of my first raspberry pi projects was a magic mirror, it's basically a pi hooked up to a display and you can program in modules to display custom data, like a weather forecast for your area along with your Google calendar showing the upcoming appointments.
I'd say a raspberry pi 4B with at least 2GB of ram is fine, but upping the ram will let you do more with it.
Docker projects are also fun, like making a pihole.
These projects have lots of documentation and support, so you're always a Google search away from help.
Yeah, if you're not looking for the latest and greatest pi out there, it's actually pretty easy to get your hands on one
I'm not sure it'll create a vacuum, though. Sure, some creators will leave but overall I think the content will just decrease in quality as the main motivating factor shifts from actual good content to pushing viewers into other methods of monetization.
I don't think so. With the tiktok shop, this move will push creators to shill (mostly) crappy products in order to make money. Or potentially transition to something like Patreon, but I'm not sure if that's even doable with short form content.
Worst TL;DR:
Fandom is a wiki farm, meaning it hosts a bunch of wikis. Also they run on freely available software mediawiki.
Fandom has a couple main problems:
-
Barriers to entry are super low, verification for users takes place 4 days post account creation, with no other steps needed by the user. Paired with the limited options that moderators have for editing access on wikis and you have a wiki that is much tougher to moderate.
-
Ads. Fandom is for-profit. And that means super obtrusive ads that we've come to expect. But fandom also shoved ads in the middle of wiki pages, with admins having no control of where those should be placed. There's also the matter of sketchy ads that are served to minors. Also, some of the ads are outdated but are for subsidiary companies of Fandom.
-
The Grimace Incident. Basically Fandom took over and turned the McDonald's and grimace wikis into huge advertisements, wiping out the hard work that the actual wiki maintainers did. They also put in a bunch of factually incorrect information, literally going against the whole purpose of a wiki and really worrying other wikis, because what's stopping Fandom from getting paid again and repeating the event with their wikis?
I'm sure I glossed over a bunch of the details but that's the best I can do from memory.
Super fun game, kinda like Wall World. Balance is skewed towards a base set of items but it's possible to win every run imo, just easier on some runs than others.
Don't know how I feel about an increase in level cap being tied to paid dlc
I think it's funny that you think any country will have even 5% of their population actually come out and protest ANYTHING.
I did some googling and in the US, the 2017 women's march was the largest march in US history with a whopping... 1.7% population participation.
And yes, there are some protests that had a big portion of their populations come out. Take 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests. Roughly 2 million people came out and protested, roughly over a quarter of the population. And you know what happened? Nothing. People were beaten, died, and China still got Hong Kong. And this was while there was still some local control of HK. Keep in mind, this is a people DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY from an effective HOSTILE TAKEOVER and they got a quarter. A war taking .2%? Even if 1% were impacted, there's no shot people are going to risk protesting when the world is doing that for them.
