Quality of 3D printing versus injection molding (lemmy.ml)
 

Are consumer level 3D printers able to print plastic objects of similar quality to ones produced using injection molding? Or is 3D printing useful mostly for the prototyping stage before a design is finalized and a steel mold is produced for injection molding?

People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven’t aged well and don’t play well.

What's the issue with SuperTuxKart? I thought that it was great fun when I played it.

Time to use Framatalk instead of the main instance. Framatalk is an instance of Jitsi Meet.

LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.

How to prevent keyboard and mouse fingerprinting in web browsers (lemmy.ml)
 

If websites are able to track their users' typing behavior and mouse movements, then the websites may be able to use that data to fingerprint, track, and possibly identify their users. Is this a real privacy risk? If so, what are the methods to counter keyboard and mouse fingerprinting by websites? Note that I do not want to disable JavaScript.

WhatsApp Web vs WhatsApp Android privacy (lemmy.ml)
 

Does user privacy when using WhatsApp Web (https://web.whatsapp.com) differ substantially from using WhatsApp on Android? WhatsApp on Android has end-to-end encryption and (optional) encrypted backups. If I use WhatsApp Web, will Meta be able to see the contents of my WhatsApp messages?

Can uBlock Origin do everything that NoScript does? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?
