  • A weird made-up story about BBL and its users

    A weird made-up story about BBL and its users

    Disclaimer, this story is just made up. Sorry for the language in this post, I really have some beef with some guys who attack a few persons whom which desparately disagree with BBL.

    The Weird Story

    There is a boy, let call him A, having a relationship with a girl B. The girl B promised a lot of things: buy me presents, buy me this buy me that and I’ll have s3x with you then I’ll do this do that for you (let say Kama Sutra styles). The boy A bought a lot of things for girl B, but then the girl B changed her mind she woundn’t do XXX style with him as promised.

    The boy called her out for going against her promises, but then the girl went on “tweeter” and gaslighted the boy and say she would only have s3x in her bed room with her security camera on, that is for “his protection”.

    Then the girl force the boy to contact her using only “wechat”, which is a software of her father’s company, she wouldn’t use “telegram”, which is a free opensource software. “Telegram” had many feature the boy likes and a special feature that can cross-talk to wechat but then the girl ask her father to cut off cross-talk from telegram. So now the boy had to use “wechat” only if he wants to communicate with her.

    Here is how he communicates with the girl: he opens his phone, start telegram, type in the message that well formated to his heart content, then copy the message, open wechat, paste that message into wechat and hit send. So yeah, the boy felt frustrated, desperated, and finally gave up.

    There is a person C, a bystander, who probaly has some benefits from “wechat” or doing business on “wechat”, I don’t know. This person C mocks and laughs at boy A whom which aleady threw white flag and tweeted that he gave up the relation ship with girl B.

    There is also a guy D who also really likes the girl B. This guy D doesn’t care about the girl’s “security camera” recording them “having s3x”. He says, it doesn’t matter as he is nobody and how can girl B hurt him with those recoding? So yeah, as long as the “s3x” is good, everything is fine. And so he keeps doing what he wants to do with the girl.

    The story ends here. Only time will tell if there is any development. Meanwhile, the girl B keeps inventing multiple kama sutra styles, and they actually look good and perform good.

    I feel sorry for boy A, and yes A is for naive. I don’t condemn girl B, in spite of B as in bitch. It’s how she does her bussiness, I guess. But being mean and mocking a walkaway, just like person C did, is what I can’t stand. So yeah, C is for cunt. I understand C is currently making good money on “wechat”, so “wechat” going down means he loses money. He probably feels threaten by someone’s remotely talking bad about “wechat”. And lastly, D is for don’t care.

    The Translation

    This story is weird, I know, but just replace some words here and there and it would make sense:

    girl BBambu Lab
    having s3x / kama sutra style3D printing / 3D printer / Terms of service
    security camera recordingsBBL cloud server storage in China and by Chinese law, it will be handled to the CCP if asked
    wechatBBL cloud / BambuStudio / Bambu Connect
    telegramOrcaSlicer
    tweeterBBL forum / BBL blog
    person CBBL fanboys who keep defending BBL and mocking people about raising concerns
    guy Dme, writer of this blog

    The Verdict

    Before the Bambu Connect happened, I was the guy D. But now, my P1S stays behind firewall with old firmware 1.07 to use with OrcaSlicer. It will stay like that until I squeeze out the work equal to AU$1500 investment. Then it is to the bin.

    Let say, I loved (past tense) BBL printers. They are fast, accurate and super convenience compare to similar price range. But BBL broke the trust in me. The ship has sailed and it won’t come back.

    I know I am nobody, the sales gain by individuals like me is just a small fraction of printer sales, say 0.001 per cent, so that my voice has no weight, just like shouting out in an empty room and no one hears. So, I suck it up and move on.

    It is true that BambuLab is very smart to target the masses (the Average Joe) and bring them the convenience of handy app. That is just with a few taps on the phone, and voila, a success 3D print without the long hours tinkering or steep learning curve of 3D printing.

    Well, I am not jealous with the money BBL make. I just feel bitter with years I’ve spent tinkering and building 3D printers but the prints didn’t look as good as what BBL printers can print. And now people having a perfect print and take it for granted. Those kind of people who would blame a 15 minutes print failure on the designer who spent days to perfect the model. That was the reason I removed all of my designs on printables and thingiverse. I just can’t deal with those ungrateful people. I’ll probably do the same on makerworld.

    Okay. Up until now, I’ve been sharing my knowledge about 3D printing and help people with 3D printing in BBL forum. I will stop doing so.

  • 13 reasons why I hate Windows11

    13 reasons why I hate Windows11

    Here are 13 reasons I hate about windows 11

    1. If not for the only frigging app I need for work, FUsion, that stops support for windows 10. No update for a cloud based app means no more access to cloud data. Yes, FUsion means Fk-You-sion. I start the fusion by hitting [win] + [F] + [U] + [enter]. That is how much I hate FUsion and Windows11. It was fusion 360 and I used to hit [win] + [3] + [6] + [0] + [enter] using the numpad. I wish I could change the CAD software, but an old dog like me can no longer learn new trick.
    2. Windows 11 is much sluggish compare to windows 10. That was my first impression on my old PC: Ryzen5 5600G + 16GB RAM + 1660 super. That was a decent computer not as low budget as it seem.
    3. I got bitten by bitlocker, twice, until I realized bitlocker was enabled by default without telling that during fresh installing windows 11. Yes, lost data and banging my head thinking it was because of hard drive failure. Bitlocker won’t be enabled if you are upgrading from Windows 10, that with bitlocker disabled of course. My bitter experience tells me, it is just a frigging ticking time bomb. Imagine that you store 1 bitcoin in the secured usb stick and somehow you lose the key to unlock the usb stick, yeah that was my feeling, except I am not that rich.
    4. I understand that TPM is essential for bitlocker, but I don’t want bitlocker in the first place so why do you make it compulsory to install windows 11? Is that the guaranteed way to f*ck up my data when the motherboard fails? Then people will laugh on you because you didn’t backup the keys inside TPM for that worst case scenario.
    5. Why there is a tickbox on the icon of a file? It just confuses everyone, both new windows users or veterans.
    6. Why would I need a microsoft account in order to login my PC. Why would I have to jump through hoops and loops in order to login windows the first time without MS account. Are you that data hungry that you want to harvest data from every single windows user? Why would you keep telling me to log in with ms account?
    7. Why would you pop the backup reminder screen after every single windows update to sell 365 subscription package? Are you that saleperson who’s so clingy to a customer desparately? Why would I want one drive since I have my own server and backup server?
    8. Why you keep deleting my administrative share after every single windows update, which happens only after a few days. This was so annoying to the point I gave up administrative share and built a dedicated NAS to share file around my homelab instead. Are you deeming administrative share unsecure and force the user doing your way, just like how Bambu “BS” controversy about bambu connect. FIY, “BS” is both Bambu Studio and bullsh*t at the same time in my vocabulary, or should I say “BS BS” instead.
    9. Why would I have to click on show more options on the popup menu which supposes to be more convenience? Do you understand the copy, cut, paste icons are a lot harder to spot and click with 2K monitor even though the monitor is 29″, not to mention portable 11″ monitor with the same 2k resolution.
    10. Why would I have to jump through hoops and loops just to disable a NIC or change DNS settings? What’s wrong with the old school control panel so that you are phasing it out?
    11. We use mspaint because it is simple, it is pixel-based editor. Why would you keep “upgrading” it the worst way possible? “Upgrade” here is in air-quote! Why would you assign a moron programmer to “upgrade” mspaint like that? If I want AI stuffs, I would go with photoshop or go cheap with MS photos app. Isn’t photos app is not enough so that you have to bring AI stuffs into mspaint? When I think of free solution to do with photo editing for website or uploading 3D designs to printables or makerworld for example, such task as adding text, adding arrows, descriptions… to the photo, my first thought is Photoscape v3.7 although it doesn’t have AI sh*t like background removal. You want the photo as real as possible because people hate AI generated photo.
    12. Why would you remove some useful apps, like 3D builder? It was very useful app. It did help me a lot during my first days with 3D printing stuffs. It seems like you are trying to get rid of traces of windows 10 out of windows 11. Do you want to erase the existing of windows 10 that much?
    13. I’m still thinking about #13, might edit the post later. For now the obvious reason is to make the title sound like “13 reasons why” show series or the song “10 things I hate about you”. So, that’s that.

  • Let’s join the clippy movement!

    Let’s join the clippy movement!

    If you are old like me, like 30-40 years old. You would know the annoying office assistant Clippy coming with Office 2000. Yep, that was 20-24 years ago!

    Most of us would immediately turn off clippy the moment he showed up. Back in the day, Clippy was nosy but he just wanted to help you. He didn’t collect your data secrectly and sell it for profit.

    But now every big corps collect your data and use that to shove very targeted ads on your face. To name a few: FB, Google, Microsoft…

    Yes, those big coprs actually are spying on you. It’s not a conspiracy like government wants to spy on you or control your mind. It’s already happened and you voluntarily give away your data! It’s your frigging phone!

    Have you wondered how FB making profit if they don’t have any product to sell? You are the product. You are farmed by FB, you are watching personal targeted ads on FB. Yes, FB is cashing out with ads views by you!

    Watch this video

    If you don’t like big corps spying on your activities and slap targeted ads on your face, join Clippy movement!

    But we all have to get together. And the first step is making it public that we know what’s going on. That starts with a clippy, on YouTube. If you’re with me, I ask that you change your profile picture to a clippy.

    Said, Louis Rossmann

    So, this is me joining the movement!

    If you want to print a clippy and put him on your desk, you can get it here clippy-movement-clippy-just-wanted-to-help
