I guess bamboo does not have exclusive to lidar printing now. It’s significantly cheaper than bamboo.

My MakerBot x2 has an enclosure but it only prints ABS. But leveling prints is so annoying.

Too bad I have to make a trip out there to buy it haha. Thanks for the info.

What did you end up paying?

Outside of price, what features are you getting(or not getting)with this?

I am considering a bamboo 5o replace my artillery X1 and MakerBot x2. I love both my printers, but I’m sick of being a 3D printing engineer and just want to print something out I created.

Come to Taiwan. We are the first(and only) Asian country to acknowledge same sex marriage.

You will be safe here and have freedoms.

Perfect. Now get China to leave Taiwan the fuck alone too. Seriously. Fetch is not going to happen.

Sometimes when I have a ton of work to do and I can’t even get myself to eat my Ritalin. I end up play League for 4 hours and then scramble(panic) working the other 4 hours extremely effectively when others need 6.

Then I can’t sleep at night because the adrenaline is still in my body.

I voted for the first time in the Taiwan elections. Fuck the CCP.

Well, the majority of people do.

Chrome. You’re likely using their product. They know everything.

Not all, but I have plenty of 1 or 2 people sites that are purely ad based for income.

Ahhh, I think you might be an edge case. The users we tested this on all understood what was going to happen after.

I started my career in SEO and moved into web Manager because it was just too tiring keeping up with Google. I think my last update that I could remember was called “Panda”. This is when they named their updates.

My current SEO strategy is super simple. Have the content you’re writing for relate as much as possible to the user intent. Give the user what they are looking for FAST and then crosslink, cross sell after. You will have a good page.

What you’re talking about is called lazy loading. It loads text first and CSS and then images after.

Most modern sites now do this along with needing to load it at all until you hit the continue button. That not only reduces your browser load, it also reduces server load as well.

There are many other reasons to have the continue button, but the positives outweigh the negative. It’s not considered a dark pattern and helps the content team improve on their content.

It depends on the site. A recipes site is trying to get as many impressions as possible so they can either turn a profit or keep the lights on.

If your company doesn’t rely on ads to stay afloat, the site experience is better.

If you dislike the page, exit the page within 10ish seconds without clicking anything and you will hurt the page’s SEO ranking.

As I mentioned, small mom and pop shops can’t afford to give you free content without ads. So they prioritize the ad so they can get paid for the impression.

Unfortunately the content is not free to create and maintain.

Some of my clients do not have the budget to give you free content without ads. Even a (usable)shared hosting server costs around 25 bucks a month. Add in dev time and design, small mom and pop sites can’t afford to be ad free.

Only the big dogs do paywalls.

Then the article isn’t strong enough and will be rewritten. The more relevant it is in your search, the higher chance you will continue reading.

Web Manager here. Some good answers here. Let me add a few more.

Engagement. If you land on a page and don’t engage on the page and leave, Google doesn’t even count you as a User. The more things you do on the page, Google will rank you higher.

Data analysts: we are testing if the article is valuable or not. If nobody is clicking continue, we know that we might need to rework the article.

Page load: The biggest and I mean biggest reason someone leaves a page is page load speed. If you’re deep in researching some information, regardless of your internet speed or if the fault is on the user side and your page load is over 3 seconds, you will leave the site. Loading only 1/4 of the page helps with this along with other tricks like caching at the CDN and lazy loading.

There are tons more reasons, but we found that with the “Continue” button, it wasn’t detrimental to the site performance.

I think it makes it harder for us to scrape their site and copy and paste it here.

Fuck the CCP. Just leave us alone.

PepsiCo is in the finding out part of this fuck around.
