is there even a reason to use axios?

But you won't. Let's be real here. Yeah, lets gently remind ai spammers that they are truly helping but submitting bogus Issues, PRs, bug bounties, or whatever. Just like scammers from fake call centers, they are only in it for the money and hoping one hit sticks.

They are not contributors, they are spammers. There is a difference. Do you reply to spammers with friendly greetings?

The U1, so far, is looking to be a great printer. No idea on long term, but you will not find another toolchanger at that low of a price.

That is mostly true, PLA is ONLY biodegradable in a facility that can handle that. Your run of the mill recycling center in your city probably can't or won't take your PLA prints.

It seems to be pirated icon packs. see the other comment in this same parent comment.

From the little research I did, they do appear to certain block apps.

Sell it to an ad agency.

It kind of is, a better metric is HDT (Heat Deflection Temperature), and it is based on curve usually load over temp.

Plastics under load have a lower Tg.

Polymaker's ABS is dubious too because it is blended with PETG. They are coming out with a Pro version that has a higher Tg and requires way higher chamber temps to print properly.

Lower, according to the report

"Two samples from the air induction elbow were subjected to testing, using a heat-flux differential scanning calorimeter, to determine their glass transition temperature. The measured glass transition temperature for the first sample was 52.8°C, and 54.0°C for the second sample"

Yeah, they might have used ABS-CF filament, but unless they got it from a good brand that uses good resin and proper printing parameters, the actual Tg will be lower, plus the stress from the vibration/load could have made the part fail if it was not for the heat later in flight.

Yes, because they don't own the assets.

Good thing I already moved away from gh to a selfhosted Forgejo instance.

Any reason why this isn't just an extension instead of another fork?

That's awesome. I used VLC only because of the nightmare of codecs back in the day, and worked well for me for ages. I now just use mpv with some UI plugins.
