Just off the headline, is it because whistleblower rates have also trippled? (Disclaimer, i dont actually know the statistic for the whistleblowers, just trying to make a mild funny)

Im not too sure about that, personally. Tbh i got them for free in a promotion when i bought my FP5 phone, and while I have used them, its not been much simply because at home on my PC ive got my regular headset, or if i want to do stuff like clean or cook I just switch to the external speakers, and at work, again, headset.

Pretty much all use cases for me involve my phone being in my pocket or hand (e.g. out in public) and in that case they've been really good to my experience. Granted I'm no audio guru so definitely check out reviews from those who are relating to that aspect if you (the reader) plan to get a set, I can't complain honestly.

Fairphone. While im not sure theyre manufactured in Europe, they pay the factory workers fairly and have fair working conditions for them.

Im not saying that nor advocating communism, im just stating that what you said about the reason you think people only do those jobs, I believe at least, is false simply by counterargument. Ask any one of the people who enjoy that kind of work environment if they would ever work in an office, closed in a room seated at a desk all day, and most would probably say you couldnt pay them enough to do it. To them, even if you DO give them more money, its not a reward/compensation because they value different things.

Im one of the office-type people. Id like to think what I do has value to society, and I believe I would do it regardless of the compensation/regardless of if I got the same money as a lumberjack, because I enjoy it. Thats another angle: if everyone is paid the same, why not do what you enjoy. If what you enjoy is being in the woods cutting trees, or on a boat in the sea, or in a tower in isolation for weeks (fire watcher), or any number of other "undesirable" jobs, and youd still get paid a living wage for doing that, same as everyone else, why would you ever subject yourself to something miserable for you, for no better reward?

Someone who enjoys being out at sea, or in the woods might find those occupations fun 🤷‍♂️

Not sure if this is something you already found, but I found this from the service manual

Im very much a beginning hobbyist, so I cant make much from this, but I hope it puts you on the right path to an answer.

Here the link to the manual:

Aha i didnt know about this. Thanks, its something im interested in looking into more on my own

I see. If at all avoidable, id like to avoid bambu if they are on the path of locking down, despite how easy they are. Opennes is really important to me, so if I didnt go for bambu, nor creality, what are ky other options at aprice range that is a logical investment for a first printer? If theres nothibg else, Ill just buy a bambu, but id rather not

Fascists gonna fascist i guess 💁‍♂️

May i ask why? Im planning on buying one in the coming months, and crealitys are available on my local second hand store page (like fb marketplace but dedicated site only for my country).

Id rather not get a bambu if they really are locking everything down, so not sure what else is left

If you look at the source page for tge section on US fascism it has a section on the current state of affairs

I completely understand that you are trying to be supportive, and if the news from Venezuela didn't come out today I would not have replied, but it did, so back here I am. The problem is that the time for you to resist by buying EU goods, and spreading awareness about the issues in your country has long since passed -- And the rest of the world is paying for it. First Venezuelans will die, then possibly Cubans, and who knows, if no one stops the US war machine in the first two cases, why not also go for Greenland? (I'm slightly exaggerating here to make a point)

You can (I hope) see how all the support from people from the USA sounds like empty words. How about you use your 2nd amendment right that we've been hearing about for decades, for the purpose it was supposedly put in place for? Maybe its because you (or the people who like guns, I realise there's not a lot of crossover between left-leaning people and people who defended gun ownership, but regardless there's nothing stopping the people on the left from acquiring them from this point onwards) don't actually want guns to defend from a tyrannical government, but instead just find them fun to own and shoot.

Words are empty, and peaceful protest only works if your oppressor has a conscience, which its clear the USA doesn't have. The world is paying in blood for the fear of the average US citizen to deal with their own mess, and that tends to lead to the world not liking Americans (from the USA) very much, regardless of what said American's political leanings are.

Thanks for your words of support. Be sure to let the those who have already died from your bombs, and those who are yet to die, know that you support them also.
