Sure, but what about other costs. You can pick up a poloroid for about $50-75 on ebay. With this one, you will need to buy things like a 3D printer (and the necessary accessories, like filament), the rasperry pi, battery pack, printer, etc. Yes, the thermal paper is cheaper over all, but the cost will be a lot more up front, even if it work out over time. Don't get me wrong, this is a cool toy, but the title is definitely a bit off.

The printer is about 20 euro, raspberry pi zero is currently 10 euro, pi zero camera is 14 euro. I don't know how much 3d printing services cost, since i have my own printer. Powerbank depends on which powerbank you choose. Cost difference is probably less than you'd expect

While I did just buy a 3D printer, I want to enlighten the community: many public libraries now have maker spaces. I recommend checking those out if you want to do one off stuff

There's plenty of services that 3D print for you.

Amazon is having an outage in us-east-1, and it is bleeding over elsewhere, like eu: https://status.aws.amazon.com/

Those 2 services that are being marked as having problems in other regions have fairly hard dependency on us-east-1. So that would be why.

Is that fail-failover?

I think its a factorial fail.

It is failures all the way down.

A disc of failures resting on elephants of failures resting on a giant turtle of failures? Or are you more a turtles of failures all the way down sort of person?

What I love about HN, is that its geek news. Is it possible to keep the Political BS off of here? Seriously, we get enough in the normal outlets, this is one of the places that I, for one, don't want to see it. If I want to hear about the BS from either side, I will turn on the TV.

Yes, you can flag and don't comment if you don't think it belongs and don't have anything productive to add to discussion of the topic. If you can't yet flag, then, no, there's nothing you can do.

Best part is that they even had a gofundme, which has subsequently been taken down. :)

I, for one, refuse to use snap. While I do admit It makes some things stupid easy to install, there are trade offs. First. The fact that it’s breaking things is bad. Second, for every snap install there is a ‘/loop/blah” entry in your did output. This is severely annoying and not needed IMHO. While breaking things is far worse, little annoyances have an effect. I will personally avoid snap and stick to installing things the way I always have.

I had ordered one of the other models early last year and it did take 2-3 months before I heard that it was shipping, and then it was another 2-3 weeks before it arrived. Their packaging was good enough to protect it, being in a plastic case. I have no issues with the one I have and, pending seeing other's experience with this new model, will definitely consider one of these. Be patient, that's all I can say.

I don't get why anyone is donating money to rebuild Notre Dame.

#1. The church has a plethoric abundance of money seeing as how it PAYS NO TAXES!!! #2. The timber needed to rebuild has been grown on the grounds of Versaille for over a century.

This rebuilding has been planned since the last time it was destroyed and had to be rebuilt, during the French Revolution. Ridiculous that people would throw away their money at something that was already planned for.

And to think, that post was 6 years ago.

I believe that because of all of the vulnerabilities in the Adobe Flash products, people should think of their computer's security first and give FedEx the preverbal virtual finger, and force them to recode their software to use html5 video instead. It is becoming the new standard and is (currently) safer than risking the vulnerabilities in Flash.

The link is already down with a 502 error. I guess they are using the one that isn't 40% better. :)
