Yep, and many of them just never plant any trees at all.

One person making a Star Wars set of Armor for themself isn’t a worry for Disney.

That person posting the STLs on the internet, allowing millions of other people to make them too, many of who will try and sell the designs and/or finished product, is a worry for Disney.

That’s the beauty of 3d printing, but it’s the thing that IP holders hate - and the IP holders with deep pockets can and do influence legislators.

They do try and sell it though, that’s the problem.

But it wouldn’t hold up to the least amount of scrutiny in that case, and not a single person would ever brush their teeth with it.

It’s like you can’t understand what is being said here.

I don’t really know what you want then? People who don’t know how to use a tool properly, but use it anyway, can cause lots of damage. That’s always been the case, and always will be.

There are plenty of safeguards in place, with more and more being added like docker sandbox for example, but nothing will stop confidently stupid people from wrecking their stuff.

No, you’re the one protesting and calling everyone who doesn’t agree with you a creep.

Usually the ones accusing others of being something turn out to be the something.

Ok but the stalking resulting in death doesn’t necessarily involve murder, does it? It just means that they ended up dead, right?

It’s not an automatic kill of the state case actually. There are many legal opinions out there of how it could not, or how it could. It’s not clear cut.

The point is, either way he’s getting life (or death). If somehow he didn’t at the federal level, but was found guilty, the state can still try for murder.

Well not really. Stalking resulting in death wouldn’t necessarily mean they committed murder, would it? If you were stalking someone and they got hit by a car running from you, that’s not murder but it would be stalking resulting in death wouldn’t it?

He’s not getting away without a murder charge, and he’s never getting out of prison.

It’s more about protecting companies like Disney, Nintendo, etc, not replacement parts. 3D printing is rife with copyright infringement, and companies like those would absolutely love a way to block their IP from being printed, or to be able to sue those who do it.

I’d love to know how they expect printer manufacturers to do this, given all they do is read gcode. Do the legislation makers even know what a slicer is?

Net zero doesn’t mean lowering pollution btw. Net zero means essentially cancelling out any pollution by planting trees, buying carbon credits, etc. It’s possible to be the biggest polluter and also net zero as a company. If that actually helps the planet is another story.

Yeah it seems the fbi, or someone even higher up, were under Epsteins thumb. Going by the comments in here most people won’t like this, but Trump reported Epstein and Maxwell to the FBI in 2006 as well:

What do they say about those who protest too hard?

From your own link:

Germany’s network regulator says smart glasses are legal “as long as the recording function is clearly visible.” Reuters reports:

People can file lawsuits all they want, doesn’t mean they have merit or will win.

Every country has had laws around recording/photographing in public for decades. This isn’t new. Most of them, overwhelmingly so, give you no expectation of privacy when in public areas, because otherwise you’d essentially be banning cameras and video recording in the country.

I say you’re the one who is out of touch because you don’t appear to know that these laws exist already.

Yeah and I agree, that’s a great step that hopefully will come to fruition soon enough. I’m just saying that people need to temper their expectations because full electric passenger flights, especially long haul, are simply not possible with existing battery technology, not even close.
