according to [0] the ipcam is logging video even when the camera is disabled. I suggest we collectively print Tiananmen Square Tank Man scenes. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1i548m9/comment/m...

Anyone got a link to a good .stl?

these printers have spaghetti detection so it actually makes sense the camera is always on

it does not make sense: spaghetti can be detected without logging it, just process and evaluate frames, and if necessary accumulate multiple evaluations (not images) to achieve better signal to noise ratio.

we will have to make one, I suggest we also use machine translation to include the historical background into the print in their own language.

Spaghetti detection is supposed to happen on-device.

Alternate description of the same information: “newer upgrades made older devices batteries’ last longer” They did nerf speed. But they did it for a reason. I get being mad about your phone being slowed down, but i don’t get being mad about it once you understand why.

> They did nerf speed. But they did it for a reason. That reason was to incentivize people to replace their old "slow" phones with faster new phones. If Apple actually cared about the problem of older phones having limited battery life they'd have made the batteries in their phones replaceable.

They are replaceable. I've replaced batteries in older iPhones plenty of times, had Apple replace the battery in a few, and I'm probably going to use the Self Service program to get the parts for my 14 Pro Max soon as it's getting a bit tired out.

I suppose that anything is "replaceable" if you're willing to involve things like soldering irons, heat guns, or specialized tools, but replacing a battery on an iphone is not something that the vast majority of the population would be equipped to do or be comfortable doing.

Why does a 3d printer need internet?

They specifically advertise connectivity for a mobile app.

Worst user experience ever idk why but I miss being able to plug a cable from a printer to a device and then printing

Had the new requires phone app workflow and it was so buggy had to just resort to UPS/Fedex

What I don't get...BambuSlicer is open source. And, not only is it open source, it's a fork of PrussaSlicer, so Bambu doesn't have the ability to re-license it.

It's licensed under the Affero GPL which is very strict about the licensing of derived works. That license requires Bambu to include the source code to any additions they make, including all of the logic, keys, etc. that they're baking into any binary distributions. If they don't, they're violating the copyright rights of Prussa and many others.

So, either Bambu has to open source all of this, which defeats the purpose (given that it's already leaked, that's gonna happen anyway) or they have to route everything through a separate program for their own slicer.

I'd also like to add that my Prusa Mk3s+ is significantly slower than my P1S. Also, without the MMU it still cost more than my P1S with AMS. Choosing a Prusa is making a philosophical choice, because it's certainly not about convenien…

What are your thoughts on the upcoming Prusa Core One? I was thinking about getting a P1S but with this rug pull I’m not sure anymore.

If I were starting today I'd definitely choose the Core One over the P1S (thanks to this rug pull). It's vastly more expensive, and the MMU isn't worth it from what I've heard, and the build volume is significantly smaller, but I don't think I'd go with Bambu after this week.

My Oral B toothbrush advertises connectivity for a mobile app. That doesn’t mean they can arbitrarily impose an internet access requirement.

The way things are going though, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
