The corruption in our government is so obvious it's really sad they don't even take the time to hide it. Doesn't matter if you're left or right, black or white, Windows or MacOS user. They have turned to technology and sadly AI to monitor your activity. Just like how age (ID) verification has bipartisan support, so too will this 3D printer ban. You know what else has bipartisan support?
War on *personal* manufacturing. But otherwise, I agree. He was very vague for the first few minutes, almost as if he was trying to keep you there longer to get more ad views. I think the point was supposed to be "if you think this is just about blocking 3d printers from making untraceable gun parts, you're wrong, it's the thin end of the wedge for the government to block anything they don't want you to make, on any kind of computerized equipment."
What does stopping 3D printed guns do?
Honda has been attacking people 3D printing parts..
The problem is that our government is now turning to computers and AI to limit what people can do. Which is so idiotic that I can't even being to imagine what chaos this will cause. Flock cameras, OnStar, ID Verification, and now 3D printing? While depending on AI that sometimes can't make coherent sentences? The only reason people haven't tried to stop this is because it hasn't had a direct effect on them yet.
Their idea of control is an illusion. The stupidity of these people knows no limits. They think computers are totally under Microsoft, Apple's, and even Linux Torvald's control, but that couldn't be further from the truth. That type of control is limited to iOS, and nobody is 3D printing from an iPhone. Before someone corrects me, but yes I know you can 3D print from an iPhone but you wouldn't want to. Every other computer and OS is open for business.
Tell us moar? Maybe start a different thread. 6 rotors? That's basically porn. May have to label it NSFW.
Our government is asking all criminals to please throw away their old 3D printers and computers. Please upgrade your computer to Windows 11. You can repair a 3D printer indefinitely. It's a huge disconnect from reality.
The problem is that they're reproduction, as in someone remade the part. They maybe very similar, but not the original part. This I don't agree with. If your business is depending on people buying over priced plastic then that's a you problem.
I've put part numbers on things I've made, but that's to help others find the part. It also helps make the part look more "authentic". I don't think it matters if they do or don't, it's just companies abusing their power. Just look at Nintendo and them removing open source Switch emulators. Emulators are legal, but that isn't stopping Nintendo. The only time reverse engineered car parts can be illegal is when they use logos, but with a large enough army of lawyers then anything can be considered illegal. It's hard to make a 3D printed Honda badge without the Honda logo. I get what Honda is doing too, I just don't like it.
