The U.S. and Taiwanese navies held drills last month that did not officially exist and were dubbed "unplanned sea encounters," part of a tacit agreement in which both sides claim the exercises were simply the result of coincidental encounters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/14/asia-pacific/us-taiwan-navies-pacific-drills/

Les échantillons de Francofil sont imprimés. J’ai pu imprimer aussi des échantillons de filaments plus classiques, ça a l’air d’être de la bonne qualité.

Une fois que j’aurai réussi à trouver les bons réglages, je pourrais penser à m’approvisionner chez Francofil en priorité. La boîte a un dispositif de retour des chutes de plastique, elle t’envoie une étiquette colissimo et t’as juste à envoyer.

stsquad, to opensource in FOSS Alternative to MakeMKV

Basically your only other option is to find the keys for each BluRay you own yourself. I did go through the hoops a while ago and wrote it up: www.bennee.com/…/playing-blu-ray-under-linux/#pla…

However it’s a pain sourcing the encryption keys you need for each disk. While I work hard to prefer FLOSS apps over their propriety equivalents in this case I’m happy to pay the small fee for a perpetual licence of MakeMKV.
