minus-squaremyplacedk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 hours agoI wouldn’t buy a new Bambu now. But the one I have has a LAN only option, and i assume it will keep it as long as I don’t upgrade my firmware. I don’t see how they would disable my printer without updating firmware. Maybe I should block all internet communication just to be sure.
