Using a 3D printer for 1 years: the Bambu P2S Combo makes print setup easy
- Bambu Lab's P2S Combo is a printer that feeds print material automatically, so you can make 3D objects from a smartphone or laptop. You keep the material in a sealed storage box and take it out when needed.
- A The Verge editor printed for a total of 6,770 hours using 4 printers. During the 1,692 hours with the P2S, the editor said they replaced the nozzle twice and did cleaning, lubrication, and clearing material jams.
- The editor wrote that the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, priced at 369 dollars, also printed with similar quality, but the material was exposed to moisture and there was a failure during testing whose cause was hard to find.
- The list price of the P2S Combo is 749 dollars, and as of the article it is discounted to 649 dollars until December 1. The editor named the same company's P1S Combo as the closest alternative.
Tesla to end Cybertruck production in 2027 and use the factory for robotaxi production
- Tesla will stop producing the Cybertruck electric pickup next year, 2027, and use that factory space to build more Cybercabs, driverless 2-seat taxis. CEO Musk said this on X.
- At the first deliveries in late 2023, Musk expected to sell 250,000 units a year. According to the report, actual sales over the past 3 years totaled only tens of thousands of units.
- At the 2019 unveiling, Tesla promised a starting price under $40,000 and a range of up to 500 miles. According to the report, it met neither: at launch the base price was about $60,000 higher, and the maximum range was cut by more than 100 miles.
- Tesla said it ran Cybercabs in Austin for two months with no major accidents. It plans to expand to Dallas later this month. Earlier this year, it ended Model S and Model X production and decided to use that space to build Optimus robots.
- When Japan's My Number Card, a resident ID card, is used on a smartphone, its credential information is stored on a separate chip rather than in ordinary storage and cannot be erased by a normal reset.
- According to the original article, within 48 hours after a death report is submitted, the deceased person's card and app become invalid, and the electronic certificate on the chip is automatically deleted. Japan's Digital Agency recommends waiting for this automatic deletion.
- If the phone cannot be unlocked, it is reasonable to leave it as it is for 2 days. Deletion proceeds even while it is locked, as long as it is connected to the internet.
- If the password is entered incorrectly repeatedly, an iPhone becomes unusable after 11 consecutive errors, and a Galaxy after 13 consecutive errors. In this case, the app cannot connect to the internet, making automatic deletion difficult.
OpenAI will not sign nondisclosure agreements with public officials when negotiating data centers
- OpenAI said it will not enter into agreements that require public officials to keep their conversations confidential when discussing data center projects.
- However, it said it may offer limited protection for security information, trade secrets, proprietary information, and competitively sensitive information.
- OpenAI said it will cover the full cost of the electricity it uses and the infrastructure it needs, and will disclose expected jobs and hiring status.
- It plans to put in place a community agreement for each data center it directly owns and operates, reflecting these commitments and local priorities.
- A software factory is a structure where, when you write a development request, an AI agent writes the code and automatically submits a review request. The original author explains that people focus on writing requests and reviewing them.
- The case the author built uses GitHub Issues as the request intake, GitHub Actions for work coordination, and Claude Code as the execution tool, with the infrastructure on AWS. This setup is a case based on a personal repository.
- People make decisions at two points. One is reviewing and approving the preview of the design change review request, and the other is pressing publish after automated checks pass. According to the author, what people check is the preview, not the code.
- The author made type checking, code style checking, and building mandatory conditions, so the publish button is enabled only after they pass. The original article does not present figures for work time or quality improvement.
- On Alpine Linux and OpenWrt, which use the musl standard library, the source says accounts that should not accept passwords (for example, accounts that only allow key-based login) may pass with a password between 257 and 1024 characters long.
- The author attributes this to musl's crypt() function returning * in the password field when it fails on input longer than 256 bytes. This is the author's analysis and has not been verified outside the source.
- The author tried about 17,600 login attempts across several combinations of glibc, musl, and whether PAM is used. They report that only musl builds without PAM wrongly accepted logins. The author performed this measurement.
- The source says updating to openssh 10.6p2 or later fixes the problem, and if updating is difficult, recommends turning off password login. The accuracy of the fixed version has not been verified outside the source.
