PLA as a raw material is really cheap - you can get it for as little as a few dollars a kilo - and a lot of the cost of a filament roll is just making the spool, packaging, and shipping it. In the end, the price difference between 250g and 1kg of PLA on a roll is rather tiny.
Goes the other way too, you can buy 5kg rolls that come down to just $10-15/kg.
The same reason why a can of cola is so expensive compared to a big bottle.

I buy samples from Atomic Filament when I don’t know which filament would work best for a project. They are 50g spools for under $4 each. It is usually enough filament to print out a filament sample card and a small test piece.
Agreed, large spools are too much if you want to play around with all the colors. I have a box of old filament, each spool in plastic with a dry packet and the whole box with a couple of bags of drying stuff and a good seal on the top. But after getting a spool out to use recently (spool about 2 year old) and it printed like shit. I tried putting it in a dryer, but it didn't help. So I tried more of these spools and they almost all seem to have gone bad.
Such a shame, I should have bought smaller spools, but they are harder to get and often more expensive.
You did try drying it in a dehydrator before you did that, right?
Because I have spools almost that old, they print fine after a night in there. Brittle as dry spaghetti if I don't though.
Same. I go through periods of printing a lot then getting busy and not touching it for months. I've noticed my PLA and PLA+ get really brittle as they age even when stored in a dry box and drying again before use.
I can usually get it to print but I have to be gentle with it.
I’ve never really understood this approach. If my work laptop prevents me from doing work, I open a ticket, cc my boss, and move on with my life. I’ve got enough other stuff to do and why take on the risk associated with circumventing company security controls just to get that TPS report in on time? I’ve got documentation showing that I tried and couldn’t complete the work because of the security control.
This is the right way to do it. Make it clear this IT process is causing reduced performance. Especially if you're a profit centre you will likely see the problem solved soon enough.
This specific thing. A password on task manager is really dumb though. I assume they have some spyware they don't want users to be able to stop. But, most of this kind of software (think antivirus) generally have other ways to prevent tasks being closed. They don't need to remove task manager. Task manager is an important and needed tool for any windows user.
Anyway, it looks suspicious. Resolution of that window is not quite right, it's fuzzy. Though I now see you said the .exe is signed, so I guess it's just some scaling bug.
Opensubtitles.com API is open and free. They are talking about Opensubtitles.org. People seem to really struggle when it comes to reading that 3rd sentence.
I mean... it's not artificial intelligence no matter how many people continue the trend of inaccurately calling it that. It's a large language model. It has the ability to write things that look disturbingly close, even sometimes indistinguishable, to actual human writing. There's no good reason to mistake that for actual intelligence or rationality.
There’s a default invisible prompt that precedes every conversation that sets parameters like tone, style, and taboos. The AI was instructed to behave like this, at least somewhat.
