Micronics Announces Desktop SLS 3D Printer, Starting at $2,999 [video]

Article note: Ooh. That's less nasty than resin, and in the same price range as other enthusiast benchtop fab tech. Toolchain looks credible. Excited to see SLS maybe coming down to accessible, assuming they haven't over-promised or wandered into a patent minefield.

Should employers pay for employees’ phones if 2FA apps are required?

Source: Hacker News

Article note: If an employer MDMs a device, or has root/admin on it, or prevents the owner from having root on it because their B2B security theater crapware takes exception to root and/or running under a VM, they pay for it and any service or upkeep. Gray zones include open standards - like TOTP or SMS - that you can noninvasively integrate into existing tools - and things jailed to VMs on machines the owner controls. I'm still forcing UKY's Duo setup to degrade to SMS mode because it thinks (almost? I have a phone rigged with Knox based pseudo-rootful ad blocking that might pass - I don't care to try) every device I own is tampered. Occasionally I get an automated-looking prompt about it and fill in "You can supply a dongle, pay for a phone, support an open standard like TOTP, or deal." No idea if anyone reads it.
