The introduction of a new slicer aims to streamline file preparation for those using the Prusa 3D printer. While this may make it easier for beginners to start printing, it raises questions about the potential loss of fundamental understanding.

The trade-off between convenience and print quality is also pertinent, as well as the impact on the broader community. As the technology advances, it's essential to consider both the benefits and drawbacks to ensure that 3D printing remains a viable and rewarding hobby.

Summary

R The California law SB 976, which restricts personalized recommendation systems for minors, is being challenged by EFF and other organizations. The district court's ruling that these feeds are not expressive activity is seen as a flawed interpretation of the First Amendment.

EFF argues that these feeds inherently reflect human expression and creativity, and therefore should be protected. The Ninth Circuit has stayed the law's implementation, allowing for further consideration of the issues.

The case raises important questions about balancing protection of minors with respect for First Amendment rights and the potential impact on social media platforms and users.

Summary

The 2024 state legislative session saw significant developments in digital rights, with seven states adopting comprehensive privacy laws. Maryland's new law sets a strong standard, but EFF urges stronger bills moving forward.

A key issue remains the debate over private right of action, which would allow individuals to sue companies for privacy violations. Without this enforcement mechanism, consumers are left vulnerable and powerless.

States are expected to continue enacting privacy laws based on flawed models, highlighting the need for effective solutions to ensure robust consumer protections. Issue-specific laws covering sensitive data types may be necessary to fill federal gaps.
