Print what? I skimmed the article and I'm confused. Can you print an 3D Eiffel tower on a piece of paper? Or is it more like you're printing things with a small emboss/raised edge? I didn't even realize that was something people wanted to do. Maybe for custom tiling?
Yup. Humans need housing, food, health, community, and a little comfort. How is the richest nation in the world failing to provide that for every person and yet simultaneously using so many resources to hurt a minority of its people (trans people). It's maddening. And every Republican seems happy with this status quo.
I don't do that and that seems pretty extreme to me - since most mobile hotspots are going to throttle you after a certain limit (even if they purportedly offer unlimited data). However, I understand the desire.
TV Shows and Movies
If you pay for streaming services, you might want to consider "sailing the high seas" (torrenting). Cancelling streaming services, pirating content, and then using the savings to pay for Spectrum might provide a better overall experience. If it's not cost effective to do that, you should still consider torrenting at a public coffee shop or something to that effect (with a VPN). You can use Jellyfin to host your torrented content.
Gaming
A cheap Raspberry Pi and some peripheral controllers can be used to host a lot of fun retro games which you can play locally at home. I'm assuming modern games are too slow to download over a hotspot.
Pictures
You can host Immich locally and backup photos and videos on your phone over your local intranet. It was super easy for me to setup.
Personally, it's not worth it. Giving up your DNA can be used against you. People can perform "social proof" phishing attacks on you by claiming sibling relationships. In the USA, law enforcement can use ancestry.com data to aid them in an investigation. So, if you leave some DNA at a crime scene (guilty or not) you might get caught up in the investigation.
You can also get caught up in the information breaches that seem inevitable with these things.
Plus: Ancestry.com is not necessarily as accurate as it is purportedly advertised. DNA doesn't have magic labels that tell us what it represents or where it came from. The only way to associate certain aspects of DNA with a particular gene, region, etc. is by comparing it to large sample sizes of people that exhibit the features you're seeking out. So, basically lets say you want to know if you come from Scotland. The way they would accomplish that is they would collect DNA from tons of people who - at least anecdotally - claim they are from Scotland. They then use that as a baseline for "Scottish DNA". When you submit your DNA sample, they look for markers that are unique to those people who claimed they were from Scotland. The less DNA they have from a particular race/region, the less accurate they can be. I'm not saying Ancestry.com is lying. Their methodology makes sense and across broad strokes will give you a reasonably accurate genealogy. They are also capable of validating siblings/cousins thanks to DNA matching. But it's only as good as the data they have. The more data they have, the more accurate it will be. But that's probably not public information and would be impossible to tell without access to their PII data. They might have 0% of data from people in Kazakhstan or Laos or Papua New Guinea. So, it's possible you have ancestry in places they currently can't know about.
It's just not worth it because it opens you up to a lot of risk and the reward is dubious information about your family history. They might know where you're from, but they can't give you a 100% ancestral lineage. You might discover lost siblings, cousins, etc. but it's not really that uncommon (so who cares?)
Lastly, the cost is just silly. They make you pay so they can have access to your most personal data? That's wild to me. They should pay you.
In all seriousness, yes. My wife was basically forced to take the first buyout due to the commute (remember they also removed most remote work). We have been getting paid still.
That being said, I don't have much faith it'll continue as long as they promised.
In theory you can write scripts with Selenium to do anything a regular user would do. Most bots have limits but it's always possible to basically write scripts that virtually click buttons, write content, post content, etc.
I used to eat tofu to be vegan. I didn't like it much but I put up with it. 1-2 years later and I've acquired a taste for it. Now I can eat it cold, fried, baked, etc. It does need some sort of sauce to be genuinely good to me, but it requires a lot less effort than it used to.
