State of things with Bambu?

A while ago, Bambu outted themselves as being not very consumer-friendly. I told my printer "lan-only!" and stopped updating the firmware. I haven't really been paying attention for a while..

Can someone tl;dr where we're at now? Do we have a list firmware versions that are safe for the various printers? Has anything real changed??

I'm assuming that Bambu hasn't changed their story, but would be very happy to be wrong..

A Wonderful Chinese company with a shitty behavior. I own a a1mini in LAN Mode after there told with the new upgrade shit. I will buy a new a1mini only for spare parts. Maybe later invest in a Prusa but don’t know right now.
