BambuLab basically locks down their entire 3D printer ecosystem with this ridiculous cloud authorization system.

You want to print locally via your LAN? Sorry, the cloud needs to authorize your g-code first.

Want to use another slicer to send your job to the printer? Sorry, no.

Would it really still surprise anyone if DRM'd filaments are next on their agenda? Their printers are good, their prices are cheap, but please, stop supporting this company.
