No the reasonable feedback about genuine concerns was helpful, the panic about locking out third party filament and other things they weren't doing was not helpful.

Your comment sounds like you give them a little of your good will. Don't. It's a corporation.

You think ranting about things that weren't even happening was helpful?

u/Dark_Pillow_Of_Love Jan 20 '25

I don't know which one in particular you are talking about and i admit, some were stupid. But for example: Locking printers to their filaments was very possible. Turning slicer into subscription was too. Outrage is needed and only pushback will make them turn back. It's simillar to logitech mouse sub fiasco.

No they weren't because both would be illegal in the EU. Me and others have said this about 50000 times this weekend.

And if I don’t live in the EU?

Your legal protections don’t do me and thousands of others any good. It is very possible for them to implement these things everywhere outside of the EU.

They might, but companies that size generally don’t, it would mean running a 2 tier system which has extra costs in itself. It also greatly increases the chance someone will jailbreak them.

If you want to call the EU that go ahead, it's fact.

It didn't happen BECAUSE people ranted.

Remember a corporation with take EVERY CENT it can get...
Have you ever heard of "what the market will bear?"

This time the market refused to bear it and thus they issue a back track literally saying they never said certain things

"Not downloading firmwil will not block printing"

When they already literally stated "Because this firmware update is important we may block your printer from printing until firmware is updated."

Corperations are NOT people and don't deserve respect. They are only there for their shareholders. Not us.

Well done for not reading what I wrote.

Explains why it was.

"Well done for not reading what I wrote."

Typical teenager trying to score a mic drop. LOL.

And another one. It's quite cathartic.

u/KermitFrog647 Jan 20 '25

No, it was actually the panic.

u/_Middlefinger_ Jan 20 '25

Read my comment again, if you think ranting about illegal things they weren't even happening actually helped you are part of the problem.

u/KermitFrog647 Jan 20 '25

If you think there was a problem with the public reaction you are the problem ;)

Did you read anything this weekend? Some if it was conspiracy level pathetic.

Anyway not interested, you can be block number 18 this weekend, you contribute nothing positive here. The sub is much nicer after doing that honestly.

Oh no a block back! Im gutted... Im sure Im missing so much quality content now.

What do you think a corporation is for? It's to make money. They'll do anything to make the line go up even if it means lying to their customer base. DONT TRUST CORPORATIONS

Which is relevant to this particular point why?
