    it is, and they don’t understand that the hardware on a 3d printer isn’t capable of analyzing what it’s about to print like that, it’s not even close. People average laptop couldn’t even analyze a random part and give a reasonable estimate of how likely it is a gun part unless it’s an exact match, but if you tweak 1 thing it would be lost.

    I don’t think these lawmakers have any clue how anything works. 3d modeling, slicing, and firmware would all have to have spyware in it and be uploading data to the cloud to be analyzed for this to be remotely possible. Not only is that financially impractical, it’s logistically impossible.

      There’s definitely a little bit of this going on.

      I wonder if Nvidia is leaning on them a bit. Like, create a regulatory requirement for something for one of their bullshit datacenters to do now that Microslop has said “we need to find something useful for AI to do or we’re not going to be able to live the lie much longer” out loud almost verbatim?

      I outright don’t know if this is even possible. I mean…

      What’s that? I bet 60% of people who have touched one of those couldn’t identify what it is by sight. Should I be allowed to print that?

        Well you’d know if you upgraded a Prusa MK3 and had to print that part. Other than that? I doubt even those who built MK4 from the kit would recognize it.
