tl;dr: “Fuck You, we’re right, but here’s a crumb from the table” but in PR-speak.

There’ll be a Lan-Mode (still requiring Bambu Connect), and a Dev-Mode (which will continue MQTT, live steam and FTP).

The Writing continues to be on the wall.

    I don’t see it this way, for multiple reasons.
    If my understanding is correct, they are (imho) misleading if not lying in this post, when they say:

    these claims are entirely false:

    Bambu Lab will remotely disable your printer (“brick” it).
    Firmware updates will block your printer’s ability to print

    But they integrate a certificate which has a validity date.

    Once that update is on, you’re kind of locked to their releases. Yes they now, after the backlash have realized that they are putting up the walls a bit too quick. But I do not see anything in there that says “we were wrong to do it this way” - which they are.
    There is little reason to - by default - put the cloud inbetween your PC and your Printer, which may sit 2m or less apart. That never makes anything more secure.
