Maybe not the same, as its more of a service contract. At work, we have had a site which has been closed for 2 years. for 2 whole years, every week the vending machine company arrive, try to get in, can't, ring us, and we say "that site is closed".

Well we finally after 2 years got them to remove that site from their system?

Their response? to remove ALL food from ALL vending machines at all our sites, to remove the coffee machines, and to remove the water coolers. The water coolers are especially egregious, as they just sit there doing nothing. they are from tap water, so not even replacing bottles etc.

Sometimes subscriptions are useful. I wish the BBC TV licence in the UK was a subscription. I cannot justify spending £150 on a licence for an entire year, just to watch a month of shows. but other times it sucks. I just want Microsoft office. I don't care if it will cost me £200. Right now my favourite game is subscription based, but i don't think i can justify the £9.99 a month, or £50 for a whole year. £50 for lifetime access? maybe.

people always say this, but 95% of what i print is index and reference cards that need colour :( I would love to get a B&W printer, but i need the colours.

Yes. Co-worker got a super cheap printer, and then tried to cancel the ink subscription. turns out he couldn't just buy ink from them, and his printer was useless.

Utter shocked Pikachu face. its a concept that has been around for 100 years, and no-one did it before for a big reason.

 

Just a discussion, if anyone things the new "DREAMZzz" (im torn on the name) series reminds them on the Time Cruisers range. That kinda out there wacky sets.

A lot of these proce comparison sites are struggling with the sale, came camel camel has the same issues. It's because the sale isnt universal, only for prime subscribers.

Is it 20% off it's lowest price? No it isn't. But it's still lower than its lowest price.

Prices in Amazon fluctuate wildly. I have seen them be as much as 20% up or down in a matter of weeks.

Fusion 360: we have unnecessarily decided to force you to use the cloud for this product

Also Fusion 360: *Noooo all you free users are using up too much of our server space, you will have to pay.

Here is an idea, let me run it on my PC and it won't use any of your servers

Counter shower thought, I'm not even close to dating Lemmy. I spent 2 years getting to know Reddit, it will take me as long, if not longer due to Lemmy not being as mature as resdit was.

Right now, lemmy is the stranger at the train station asking why I am crying. It might turn into something, or I may just lean into Facebook / Instagram / YouTube / discord more.

 

Needed to print some very special 380mm tall items, so decided to modify my ender 2 to print very tall prints. it works surprisingly well, and the bad resonance only kicks in at about 390mm!
