It’s coming up on nearly 2 years since I bought my Creality K1 3D printer, and I immensely regret preordering it. Currently won’t print because it refuses to accept the values that the bed sensors are returning, and now it’s out of warranty so Creality support is nearly useless.

A lot of folks seem to be focused on the TikTok ban from a point of data privacy concerns, and I think they miss the mark a little. I think the real fear behind the ban was the potential for the Chinese government to use the TikTok algo to push destabilizing content to US users.

Talking with my recent college grad coworker is a great reminder of how weird JavaScript development is. I really should have expected the blank stare I received after I said “just make sure that package is tree-shaking friendly”
