I’ve been running mine offline for years, I don’t know why other people haven’t been. They’re the only competent and reliable printer that isn’t a project car in itself, but they’re obviously not completely trustworthy. Easily fixed with an air gap, updates work just great from a USB drive.
They are an adversarial player in the market, actively trying to lock users into an ecosystem that is incompatible with other printers. Like Adobe's 'creative' software and Onshape, they are working as hard as possible to make YOU pay more to have less.

> This isn't actually possible This is only true due to a firmware they pushed last year. It's an artificial limit. There's no reason at all a local client couldn't just talk to a local printer without any cloud. Every problem BambuLabs have here is self-inflicted. They could allow simultaneous cloud and local queue management with or without authentication.

It is my right to do with my printer whatever I want.

That’s an LLM generated website if I’ve ever seen one the explanation for that is here https://youtu.be/II2QF9JwtLc basically louis found that not using AI to design his website drastically reduced the hits he would get from google.
Wait, why would the method in which the HTML that Google indexes was generated matter? (I get that web vitals might be taken into account, but you don't need a slop generator to make a static page)
It's not about the HTML. It's about the wording of the content. The more he had AI reword things, the better his ranking became.

google search evaluates based on their content and how they look. apparently, according to louis, AI generated websites get a higher score.
Makes sense, since AI is also doing the ranking.

The hardware yes. Bambu's software, not quite. If you want to flash it with 3rd party firmware & use 3rd party slicers, have at it.
If you want to use Bambu's software against their TOS, OK you wouldn't be alone in that, but there's no moral high ground in it.

#97> This version of OrcaSlicer restores full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers I thought that was the point, that people didn't want to be tethered to their servers?
People want remote access to their printers, a feature which seems to be tied to Bambu servers.

Sure there is. When purchased, it was able to do something. Due to an update, the customer has now been misled, because a feature was removed.
In most countries, that would violate consumer rights. There's an ethics argument here.

#100This looks to be a clone of the prior state of the repository that caused all the Bambu drama earlier this week. I did a ton of research because I didn't understand what people wanted here, and this is what's going on: Right now, Bambu have adjusted their system into two modalities: * "default" or "Cloud" mode, where you get an app, remote monitoring, but you have to use Bambu Studio or Bambu Connect to send prints.…
> This looks to be a clone of the prior state of the repository that caused all the Bambu drama earlier this week. It looks like it might be a clone, but the git history is squashed for some reason. I would recommend against installing this unless/until someone can do an audit to figure out which commit it was forked from and what the changes are. Or better yet, find one of any of the other copies of the repository t…

FULU Foundation is a right to repair group, which explains their interest in this. I, for one, support them. https://www.fulu.org/our-story
I agree with your point about git history, though. https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/OrcaSlicer-bambulab/issue...
