  • Again, it is not a “Custom OS” you aren’t installing it as an OS from an ISO. You are still required to have your own licensed version of windows and install that prior to using AtlasOS. Using it does not cause security and instability issues as long as you understand what you are doing. Yes it is stripping things from windows. It’s also open source so if you were so inclined you could see exactly what is being done.

    If you equate using an automated solution to do things that you could do manually albeit with a bit more work involved, then every single OS is custom the second you change anything on it.

    I do use Linux for what it’s worth and have been for around 20 years. I’ve also been working in Tech for the last 15 ish years. I wouldn’t be blindly recommending something that would wreck someone’s security.

    Please do some research.

    https://github.com/atlas-os/atlas

    There’s a link to their source code. They even state that you have options to what security settings get messed with. So again, as long as you READ and understand what you are doing, you aren’t necessarily breaking your systems security.




  • I do agree with you on the accidental thing 100%. Accidents happen, but that’s different than what is being discussed.

    Also, yeah it may seem funny if it happens to some high profile person, but put yourself on the receiving end of a direct intentional thing like that and you aren’t going to be overly happy about it. You definitely understand that.

    I grew up in some not so great places, got bullied a lot as a kid. I don’t bully people as a result but I am a bit more defensive and would be quick to toss a jab and subsequent more if I felt the need was there.

    All in all, I do feel that I want to be 100% clear that I’m not defending the guy, I don’t know the situation, dude obviously had an advantage and in the brief bit that we see it does kinda seem like they were both instigating the situation.





  • I’m not defending the guy but he has liquid on his back and you can barely hear him say something which sounds like she threw shit at me.

    If she threw shit at him and hit him with it… I kinda don’t blame him.

    If he said something nasty, racist homophobic or otherwise insulting to her and then she threw something at him, that makes it a bit more questionable on whether or not she deserved to get hit.

    This needs much more context.

    That being said, the dude very likely was being a prick and deserved to have shit thrown at him. Still though, if you assault someone first, don’t expect to not get it back. Male vs female, male vs male, female vs female and all other things in-between, you start shit, there might be repercussions. Make sure you are prepared to handle that.

    Ignoring some bigot (if he started it with words) could have potentially saved her getting her face fucked up.

    I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for that but my point is still 100% valid.

    Edit: For the people that don’t seem to understand how the world works. Try this experiment and get back to me. Go out into the city with a cup full of some random liquid (water, soda, whatever) find someone bigger than you and throw it all over them. Please report back and tell me how that worked out for you.







  • You’re right even though you’re getting down voted.

    Doesn’t make Uber or Lyft any less shady of a company but so many people have no idea of the overhead it takes to “run an app”. They think that it’s just some computers talking over the Internet that they pay 100$ a month for and not the possible 100’s of thousands of dollars they pay monthly for the infrastructure to support those apps.

    It’s not an offline game that someone can just download and play, it’s a live service that is running, plus all of the data whether financial or otherwise that is being stored on multiple levels of backups not to mention the security infrastructure that needs to be maintained etc etc etc.

    That being said, I’m not defending these companies in the slightest, but for someone to just say “run an app” is a massive understatement.




  • And when you bought it, did you look at the description, or did you just look at the picture and assume it was bigger?

    Generally these things have the weight of useable material listed in the description or listed on the container somewhere like the back which would normally be in one of the pictures of the item.

    Unless there’s absolutely no mention of the amount of product in the container this really isn’t asshole design.

    Edit: Scratch that. It worked for less than 24 hours and went back to not connecting again.


    To answer my own question, I hadn’t updated the firmware on my printer as it has been working fine so I just didn’t see a need to.

    Went ahead and updated just in case and voila it started working.

    Looks like Bambu is locking that functionality down behind the firmware version. As I didn’t see any notes in the update log pertaining to the camera so that’s the only thing that comes to mind.

    This is the point here.

    Many people have no idea of the infrastructure and costs needed to run many of these servers that provide services to people.

    I disagree with things like Adobe basically using it for DRM but have no issue for services that are literally serving millions of people and providing something worthwhile that the majority of the population would otherwise not know how to do on their own.

    There is some nuance to it, like offering a service and then slowly creeping costs up or adding an advertisement tier and dropping everyone to that etc is crap. But in general, if they are providing a decent service then I don’t really have a problem with it.
