That just makes more poor people who can't afford things.

Everyone should know how stupid this theory is because there's no profit in it.

If companies want more saturation they can always advocate for government policies that lift people out of poverty.

Honestly this is better than I expected from Prusa. They are still playing catch-up but not as far behind as I expected them to end up with their first consumer XY offering. It's till expensive for what you get (Prusa). It's too slow compared to competitors. It's a bit small for the price. They need a new hotend setup. But it definitely maintains the Prusa serviceability. Their MMU is still kind of a DIY joke versus the competitors.

Lucas is an awful writer. The OT succeeded because he had collaborators willing to tell him as much. The prequels sucked because he was put on a pedestal.

Before the pandemic there were a few homeassistant/smart home YouTubers on the floor of CES every day putting videos out about the new devices they saw throughout the day. I haven't seen any of them doing that since the pandemic.

Anyone know of one that is still doing that or the best place to get summaries of new devices from CES with a smart home focus?
