I’ve got whatever their first one is. Its worked great, my only gripe is their cloud service requires google login. But it served its job which was to give me remote KVM when I was learning how to setup reliable RDP.
Its now attached to a box I use as a relays at a friends who has fiber. That box has a startup warning that I could never quite get to go away that requires one hit literally any key to finish boot. So I paid $70 for that…
Well, sort of. ACA plan carriers are private, but the advanced premium subsidies are provided by the tax payer. There are totally private companies that act as healthcare “navigators” essentially helping people navigate their ACA benefits. Those firms receive a payout on a per-sign up basis in most cases. I’ve applied both directly and with one of those firms, and it did make things significantly easier. I have no doubt there are sketchy ones that sign people up for services they’re not eligible for or make people up entirely. It’s no different from fraud medical device companies that collect the money from medicare for “selling” someone a mobility scooter or the like, but there’s no scooter and sometimes no person. Fraud does happen.
But it’s a distraction to the biggest fraud which is that private plans are funded by the US government in the first place. We have socialized healthcare already in the USA, just in the most painful, cruel, ass backwards, inefficient way possible.
God damnit. Semi-experienced hobbyist getting ready to drop money on a multi-head unit and this has been hard to research.
From my digging Prusa is overpriced except you can’t beat the quality and reliability except for when you have to tweak it which is all the time and there are other brands that are a better deal unless you’re looking for unbeatable performance, then you go prusa. Their commitment to upgrades is great except for the XL+ which is now a dead end but still getting updates and certainly its great how much YOU own you’re unit except its not FOSS/H… Best to go with the Chinese brands that 1000% lock you in.
This is a great video but I’ve seen other great reviews basically saying theoppisitte. Hell there’s that in this THREAD.
Just taking my $4k and hiring someone to train a squrielle to glue together some filament.
