  • Great response. Apologies for my initial defensiveness. Most of what I see here is “well then do something about it” so I was just trying to head that off.

    I agree with you. And yeah, it was always propaganda from like the 1960s onward at a minimum. Nixon fucked us over and we’ve been going downhill since.

    Any Americans still defending this playground for pedophile billionaires are idiots who refuse to look critically at this place for even a second, and are likely part of the problem. Fuck em. There’s not much to be proud of here. Some small things, mostly local, but nothing on a national scale.

    American here. Those of us with any sense don’t care anymore about being a superpower. We know we’re a fuckin joke on the world stage. We just want a working country but we know we’ll likely never see that again in our lifetimes.

    And yeah yeah, “then do something about it” is easily said. Getting people across thousands of miles to gather in one place with no affordable travel infrastructure is intensely difficult.










  • The short version is that I’ve had two of their printers and both failed due to mainboard issues, and I got no help with either after six months of getting the runaround, escalating, providing video evidence, etc. They sent me a mainboard replacement for one which also failed within days, and their solution was to send me a used printer that was the next class up in size, but two versions back. MicroCenter took pity on me after I showed them the 100+ email chain and refunded the printer fully even though I was well outside of the return period. I’ll never buy a single Elegoo product ever again.
