    RFID isn’t DRM. But let’s overlook that.

    So the trustworthiness of the company implementing RFID doesn’t matter at all to you?

      But this particular RFID has some sort of encryption-something, that means that other companies can’t make them.

      I don’t like it, but since I can still use other brands without the convenience of RFID tags, it’s not a deal-breaker.

        I loaded third-party filament onto my spools with RFID several times and it worked fine.

        I have since started printing almost exclusively from a filament dryer (AMS lite works fine this way), so it doesn’t matter anymore.

        Ah right I didn’t know. I thought they used plain-jane ASCII tags with some known documented format.

        That sucks.

      There are no trustworthy companies… The whole point of a company is to act in its own best interest. If they can sell you something that they can later utilize to extract money from you, then they will do it.
