On a related note, it’s long been a dream of mine to “download a car” by 3D scanning a nice 1:18 model of something exotic (like a Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Lusso or BMW 507), pay a company to create a full size model by milling it out of a huge block of foam with a huge 5-axis CNC machine, cast fiber glass molds of the body panels, build a spaceframe chassis underneath, fit the rear subframe of a Tesla, and the front axle of a Miata, and live forever in glory.

BarackObama@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•How’s everyone liking this so far?English2·2 years agoThis is my first comment. I haven’t experienced any bugs or lag yet. It all seems pretty cool to me.
I can’t profess to know a lot about websites/apps. But I am aware that suddenly having large influxes of users can complicate things, in terms of having to migrate to more powerful hardware, or incorporate load balancers, change to a different type of database, and other architecture changes. It’s complicated stuff, even for corporate engineering teams with a lot of resources. IDK who runs this and what exactly the financial structure is, but it appears to be run by volunteers? I personally have patience and sympathies for these people and will reserve judgement for a while.
Can confirm
