@Rainmaker1973 More like Steve Jobs on the year 1994. A lot has changed in just these 3 short decades, including the baseline for altruism and reciprocity.

Steve Jobs on the power of asking for help

@J3ther I made them: youtu.be/nChqjPV9NVo?si…

@HexiBase Where did you get those shelves from that you use for your workbench? Awesome setup.

Seriously ... what's with all the lemons here of late?

@staticben95 No kidding. I just parsed the entire YouTube Creator Academy without a single reference to cash arrangements with manufacturers.

@HexiBase In radio and streaming we called it payola. Very taboo! I wouldnt expect testimonials🤐

According to Grok, AdSense is only the tip of the iceberg, and many of the established reviewers proactively solicit cash payments on top of the already free gear. Can anyone with receipts attest to this ... or is it taboo 👀

@Booleans_Things @joeltelling Sampling is what you do when you suck at sound design.

@HexiBase @joeltelling but did you pull a vanilla ice? did you sample his tracks?

I like e-mail. E-mail is fun.

@joeltelling Right? Kind of hard to violate a copyright when I compose all my own background music. Best of luck, though 🤣

@HexiBase hey I got that one too! blocked and reported them. yay!

It's been a relaxing 4-5 months since I was approached to showcase anything new. Went to get some filament for an off-camera project, and suddenly there's an X2D chilling under my box of Tectonic drivers.

@mypeopoly @Voron_Design I've crossed paths with a "Giga" or two before. Woefully slow. Here's hoping that the speed of this machine scales with the build volume.

@TaraBull If you can't afford to pay your staff, you can't afford to operate a restaurant.

"If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to dine out." Thoughts?

@WarWalkerFrozen Hey @tectoniclabs, any chance the BMR80C will be made available direct to consumer?

@HexiBase Will you anyway?

The more reproach I receive for tossing my old speakers, the more curious I become about everyone else's trash day routine. What wheels do you put into motion before you drag anything out to the curb? Is there some web listing of locals who will come around and pick through your non-recyclables? Some pro bono raffle / fundraising entity? I'm all ears.

@RickyDoggin Similar findings have been observed with poverty and UBI.

We have so much info at our fingertips... yet, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

@WarWalkerFrozen Wasn't planning on it.

@HexiBase When are you going to post the files on printables?

@Sovol3d Printing objects the size of the build volume.

@DefiantLs So if an arrest causes you anxiety, what happens to the cop?

"Why am I in cuffs because of something he shared, then I shared?" "Because someone has been caused anxiety based upon your social media post. That's why you've been arrested." This right here should scare the living sh*t out of you. These two sentences alone. We have a lot of work to do.

@J3ther Let me just get a "People who want my stuff" notebook going, and scribble your name in there 🤣

@HexiBase I’m in Missouri too. Next time just shoot me a message and I’ll come pick them up. 👍

@Kuya_Donny Welcome to rural America. I once tried giving away a Snapmaker Artisan. Got some memorable looks.

@HexiBase I’m surprised that no one saw the speakers and picked them up. Every time I leave old speakers I’m not using at the curb; they disappear within 12 hours.

@Gizmologist_ You know what they say: One man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm sure that something I'd absolutely love to have is getting tossed even as we speak; and likely without a second thought. That's just normal.

I think you underestimate the value of your own builds. What you threw away is considered high-end in the eyes of enthusiasts. You could have given them away to a subscriber. But beyond that. In my opinion, your latest build should be featured at CES with some of your other projects in conjunction with a sponsor.

@T3chT0ch Right? Ain't nobody got time for that.

@HexiBase Well, that's a lot.

In practice, this would mean registering as a non-profit, building a system to collect entries, defining terms, pricing, eligibility, handling duplicates, promoting a raffle, coordinating a transparent drawing, verifying & contacting the winner, followed by some extensive packaging. Or I can just put it outside 🤷‍♂️

@HexiBase Start a charity raffle yourself? Winner gets item(s) and pays shipping? Just a thought.
