Forever is a long time. I’m sad I won’t get upgrades, but I didn’t expect any when I bought it. I’ll be fine for a while.

When I feel that big an itch for a new thing, I’ll buy a new thing. Probably something Prusa branded.

I assume it does. If I had a big problem with that, I wouldn’t have connected it to the internet in the first place.

However, the talk about disabling printers without this update makes me think I should probably block it.

I wouldn’t buy a new Bambu now. But the one I have has a LAN only option, and i assume it will keep it as long as I don’t upgrade my firmware.

I don’t see how they would disable my printer without updating firmware. Maybe I should block all internet communication just to be sure.

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 care. I bought Bambu anyway, because there’s a LAN only option. I enabled it today. I am also not going to upgrade firmware.
