I do understand that, but equally it doesn't follow the convention we use for the rest of the numbers.

I'd guess ten one, ten two, ten three

Four twenties ten nine thank you very much

Quatre vingt dix neuf is hands down my favourite french number. It's only one syllable more than ninety nine.

It's 3 letters and 4 numbers

XDA is pretty much slop these days.

I mean you can just build one. Presumably there's bugger all they can do about Voron. Slicers are open source, firmware is open source, plans are open source and there are open source controllers.

No no, it's a lot better, you're kidding yourself.

There's absolutely no obligation to be penny pinching for public companies, the leadership is obligated to act in the best interests of the company but that's about it.

The motivations and reward schemes may be very different, public company CEO may be incentivised to maximise share price for instance and that may attract the kind of psychopath that will try and maximise share price by penny pinching - equally I don't think anyone could make a serious argument that being more like Steam would be acting against the best interests of a company selling games.

That was rather my point, public or private company doesn't really matter much compared to the leadership.

Oh, didn't notice the part you specified gamers

You say that, but spaceX wasn't a public company 3 weeks ago either.
