If you have one of the Bambu Lab 3D printers that has caught fire, especially if it's from the NTC thermistor issue, we'd like to hear from you so that we can buy the printer from you and send it to a failure analysis lab. We'll pay full retail or replacement cost and shipping costs. Please email us at tips at gamersnexus dot net. We're in talks with 3D Musketeers about this and working on something.
Bambu Lab is run by copyright trolls, apparently, who are (in our opinions) abusing the copyright system to suppress open source development of third-party tools, and likewise, we think, are mischaracterizing third-party developers of those tools. We have a full GNCA piece coming up on this situation, plus a HW News piece for GN ASAP, but we've also published an article in advance. If you haven't heard about this, Bambu has suppressed OrcaSlicer-BambuLab, which has led to it being removed by the developer out of an abundance of caution. We are willing to take on the risk of hosting it ourselves and we have, alongside Louis Rossmann, offered the developer $10K of support each if it becomes a legal case. We're also both going to rehost the files. In the meantime, with permission, we are now hosting OrcaSlicer-BambuLab on our website, for those who want it (find that in the comments).
Bambu has seemingly accused the developer of 'impersonating' them and 'reverse engineering' their software to bypass protection mechanisms, which we think are ridiculous claims.
The whole thing is frustrating. We've just gotten into the 3D printing scene and we bought a Bambu Printer late last year to learn, but seeing all of this, I've just ordered a Prusa printer and have been talking with the Prusa team to learn more about their philosophy, which so far sounds promising. We will begin transitioning over to those printers now. Bambu isn't without competition, so we'd rather support the competition that doesn't abuse third-party developers.
Our Steam Controller review went up today and we're pretty excited about the review detail itself. It's some dense content. Whether or not you're buying one, the animation and educational deep-dive on tunnel magnetoresistance sticks is really cool. We learned a lot putting it together. Andrew on the team animated it and Patrick worked on the technical details of the animation with Andrew, resulting in one of our most interesting reviews we've done. It also has latency testing after soldering leads to the controller, battery life, and more. Check it out!
We've been quietly working on a major deep-dive research piece that just went up over on our other channel (@GNCAInvestigates). The video dives into the shady connections between Amazon's Ring 'security' cameras, Flock, and the AI solutions that consumer cloud-connected security products use to lay the groundwork that could build a surveillance state. Link below.
DLSS5 makes this look like an AI generated dating profile picture used to scam an old person in another country. Just looks like every other AI generated image of a "person." No character or soul to it. Art loses what makes it impressive when it all looks like generated slop, especially all from one company. Not to mention, Palantir is at NVIDIA's show and they've surrounded Palantir's name with hearts like some sort of Valentine's day card! We're finalizing an in-depth review of a case right now (goes up tomorrow), but will be talking about the NVIDIA GTC news in the video after that.
Just sharing something that is exciting for our team. This is pretty cool. We've submitted a few FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests lately for some deep-dive research pieces into tech companies and what they're really doing behind the scenes. It'll take a while to get information back via FOIA, but we have some cool stuff coming up. I'm mostly sharing this early because it's just very exciting for us to try new means to get information on what tech corporations are doing on the global stage. We've been hitting limits with what is publicly discoverable in cases where we know there is more information. First time we've really gone down this path to get more information on what companies are doing behind the scenes. Anyway, just looking forward to learning new things and seeing where this goes! Stay tuned.
We've been silently working on some major content pieces and are just about done. Following popular demand from you all as you've asked us to find out more about newcomers to the RAM industry (DRAM in particular), we dug through two decades of documents to produce a new full-length documentary. Hopefully tonight if the render goes smoothly, we will be publishing our deep-dive documentary on The Rise of Chinese Memory Manufacturers. This includes CXMT, YMTC, and Fujian Jinhua, who have broken into the DDR5 DRAM and Flash NAND (SSD) industries. Commenters have been asking us about these companies since the RAM prices went ballistic recently, and we'll have more to share soon. Check back!
Our new @GNCAInvestigates video covers the NVIDIA x Palantir partnership. We also talk about AI and the rise of global surveillance, wrongful arrests caused by various AI facial recognition companies and software, the concept of "pre-crime" policing from AI, and more. Ran this one on GNCA since it gets into some heavy topics, but we have something big coming to GN very shortly as well. Link below if you're interested in the NVIDIA x Palantir coverage.
