Seriously, this. The machines are not cheap. The accessories, like cutting tools, mats, etc are not cheap either and I’m sure they get a decent profit from those. And it’s not like they’re the only machine that does this in that price range! It’s just such a dumb business decision, I can’t imagine this lasting more

I have a Silhouette Cameo - does the same thing - no uploads to the cloud to do this. It absolutely can be processed locally.

Their main competitor, Silhouette, manages to work fully offline.

2D shape optimization doesn’t have to be that processor intensive but it is math intensive, and my guess is they built it in the cloud for compatibility. They just need to optimize their code (or not bother using an over powered machine) once and give everyone portals that access that one system, instead of building

This is such bullshit. The only reason I haven’t bought one to do simple stickers is THIS shit. I know many people with them who say the required software is total shit, buggy and now THIS? Fuck Cricut. I hope they get sued out of business for this, seriously *I’m not a sue everyone person at all) . What a sham.

The business decisions some companies make boggle my mind. I’m not kidding when I say that probably inside this company’s strategy room they believe their product is so good that this type of model won’t hurt their business.

The “everything is a subscription” model that’s been growing and growing for the last 20 years needs to die yesterday.

Excellent set of responses. They pretty much all correctly zoomed in on the point that forward time travel is definitely possible, if hard - you just have to accelerate to very close to the speed of light, or dive deep through the gravity well of a black hole.

I vote we merge the proposals to keep Standard time WITH keeping DST & split the diff & shift to 30-mintues between & be done. Get the alleged “benefits” of both with the initial drawbacks of both ONE TIME !

As a descendant of the oppressed group, I demand an apology from the current overlords of the region.

It’s important that your hate for Facebook never be allowed to dull. Removing that supremely punchable face would remove that import visceral reaction.

Same here- I’d like to go permnently to Standard Time, but i’ll settle for never moving the clocks again.

It’s the biggest of deals. It causes confusion, health issues, and unnecessary inconvenience. It’s an outdated practice that is absolutely unnecessary. 

It’s not for farmers.  We hate it the most of all.

Yes, it is.  It takes me over a week to adjust to every time change.  And living on a farm, DST completely fucks up my afternoon schedule.  Nightfall already comes earlier because its winter, and then useless fucking DST moves it even earlier.  I lose multiple hours in the evening to get extra morning sunlight that’s

Yes, it’s stupid

Couldn’t we split the difference and spring ahead 30 minutes one last time.

I am all for permanent DST but I don’t even care anymore, just end this stupidity one way or the other.
