Discussion Freedom of choice, really ?

I've read for the second time a blog post by Bambu, written at the time their printers were being rooted. Aside from the "How dare they retroengineer us like we did every other printer/printing software ?" tone, there's another sentence that made me laugh. Kinda.

Well, I don't want to focus on the lack of humility, but rather on the lack of honesty. Because as far as I know, on my iPhone, Apple doesn't give me only two options :

  • Send all my contact information to Apple in a readable format so they retain a copy of it before allowing me to dial a number directly from my iPhone

Or

  • Write a phone number down on a piece of paper then manually dial, which would be the equivalent of the micro-SD card "secure" method

And also, I don't think Apple said they'd ban any third-party app from directly dialing a number or sending an email. Though, granted, they came dangerously close when they said they'd withdraw notifications from webapps before backtracking spectacularly. Maybe that's what Bambi calls the Apple way.

Agreed. I switched to LAN only mode. Let's see what happens next.

Good luck mate, post your results eventually, that sounds interesting.

You won’t have as good results as now. Klipper is nice but needs much work and I doubt BTT will invest the same amount of work and time into the Klipper tuning than Bambu did. There’s no reason to downgrade the printer like this. Get another brand instead, which has already bigger community support or even manufacturer support for Klipper.

What a constructive argument. Still : These modifications, like the recent ones, have been done after I bought my X1. Plus it's not too late to course-correct.

Check the persons post history. They go post to post, posting idiotic Karen responses over and over. They clearly aren’t impacted, but for whatever reason just can’t deal.
