Wow, MSTF is offering a 27%-ish (60,000 employee) voluntary exit offer. This is incredible. The reason is apparently to "balance a costly artificial intelligence infrastructure build-out with capital efficiency."
The cost of AI is not cheap, and now we're starting to see it. What amazes me is that MSFT is replacing actual humans in favor of "balancing" AI. Reminds me of how Anakin Skywalker brought balance to the force (IYKYK).

first proper print off the @LDOmotors babybelt pro that finished, gotta do some tuning still, but think we got the bugs worked out
This was a fun one to make. I made a few of these last year, definitely planning to make a few more. I am
I decided to hop back on Etsy and just reopened my store. I am gong to test and see if anyone can find my listings. My leather goods are probably a better fit there than Fleabay.
Looks like they don’t charge as much fee wise either, which is nice, so I can offer a slightly lower price.

Pro tip: make sure you update your raspberry pi machines- especially if they are running PHP and internet facing! Huge vulnerabilities this week.
Cartographer update- It’s not perfect but I think it is good enough! Had to do some axis twist calibration/ compensation.
Well, Cartographer upgrade seemed good, but now that I'm putting it to the test, I'm not getting good results. It looks like the sensor is drifting downward when printing ASA. I get better results without a bed mesh.
Ok, I just asked AI and it told me I need to run "CARTOGRAPHER_TEMPERATURE_CALIBRATE" which may help with this.. I'll have to give it a shot.
Well this is an interesting development.
🚨#UPDATE: The 12-hour window for a potential EXPLOSION is approaching in North Toledo, Ohio, and smoke is still visible coming from the MC Tank Terminal site.
The hazardous materials incident on Progress Avenue remains active. The chemical involved is glycidyl methacrylate, an industrial chemical used in certain plastics, paints and coatings.
Officials previously warned of a potential explosion risk. Residents within a 1-mile radius were ordered to evacuate, while a shelter-in-place order extends up to 3 miles due to potential toxic exposure.
Stay away from the area and follow all instructions from emergency officials. Do not enter the evacuation zone.

To those that may be evacuating, Toledo, Ohio, just a reminder: do not have your HVAC system on in your car. This is just a precautionary idea. Right now, the chemical plume is visible and detectable 4 miles away.

🚨#UPDATE: WTOL Chief Meteorologist Chris Vickers reports the Air Quality Index has soared to 860 for PM2.5, reportedly 4 miles from the hazardous materials leak in North Toledo, Ohio.
Vickers is urging residents to stay indoors, including those outside the immediate 1-mile evacuation zone.
This is the highest AQI value ever recorded in Toledo. 😳
The leak is still ongoing, and authorities have not officially identified the chemical involved.
Stay indoors and follow official emergency instructions.
