A full stack developer is either a back end developer that has no business writing front end code but does it anyway, or they’re a front end developer that has no business writing back end code but does it anyway.
Or they’re perfectly capable of doing both because they’re at a startup that’s years away from running at scale or having to worry about performance and security.
Kobo works fantastic.
If you have the ability, set up calibre and calibre-web and you can configure your Kobo to use your ebook library as the “store”.
Kobo also has at least one plugin/mod that replaces the whole reading UI with one with more features. Check out KOReader for that.
Apart from that, though, it makes little difference what ebook you get. If it allows you to load your own ebook files on manually (afaik they all do), you can do whatever you want.
“We should have gotten more feedback before…” is one of Sony’s corporate values.
Everything will be fine unless someone shows him an active torrent of The Apprentice and explains he doesn’t get paid residuals if people watch it that way.
I looked into this a while back and gave up.
I didn’t find any (good) models I wouldn’t have to pay for, but some of the paid STL sites had sets available for really reasonable prices, so that wasn’t really a blocker.
But FDM is basically incapable of printing any interesting models. Even if you’re printing good layers, most interesting models aren’t geometrically compatible with how an FDM model prints. You can print with supports, but removing supports from such thin, fragile bits of a model is nigh impossible without doing damage.
I went as far as shopping around for a resin printer, but I didn’t like all the ventilation cautions I read. Adding a printer is one thing, but having a well ventilated area that overlaps with where I’d want a printer was an unsolveable problem in my home.
If you just want to give it a try, grab a model off Thingiverse and see how your printer does. If you can get a piece you’d be happy to proceed with painting, that might be worth a few more iterations to see if it’s workable for your setup.
“Why should I change my shirt? He’s the one who sucks!”
Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.
Every piece of shit they make that I bought ended up broken and in the trash within a couple of weeks.
YES. It’s brilliant.
I don’t pirate software anymore. If I do the math on how much enjoyment I get even from a mediocre AAA game title, it is dwarfed by what I’d spend on a night out, so the value is there for me. On top of that the risk of malware (or the effort in mitigating it) isn’t really worth it.
Tv and movies? Pirate it. The streaming services are garbage and the content has too much crap for me to want to pay a corporation for it. If it became too hard to pirate I just wouldn’t watch it anymore.
Books kind of fall in the middle. Happy to pay for ebooks if the author makes it practical, but I’m not keen on buying through Amazon.

Never thought I’d be able to use that bit of pedantry.
Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.
