As the #BambuLab users are slowly waking up to what blog.bambulab.com/firmware-upd… means, it's a good time to remind everyone that the writing has been on the wall from day one.
It's not a "told you so", mind. It's a "this will continue and get worse". #Bambu will continue to tighten the ratchet.
#Prusa is far from perfect, but they deliver reliable #3dprinting based on open source software at an acceptable cost.
And if you missed it: they allow you to maintain warranty with custom firmware again.

in reply to Richard "RichiH" Hartmann • • •As expected, #BambuLab released the standard corporate press release
1. All those things we just invented as the criticism we didn't do
2. Sure, you can use "developer mode" and lose our support
3. We tried to work with others, and it's their fault they didn't do it fast enough and by our rules
4. Everyone else is at fault for this misunderstanding though we might have contributed in the slightest of ways
5. "I am sorry that you are upset"

Or don't, but then please shut up when the leopards eventually eat your face.

in reply to Richard "RichiH" Hartmann • • •A propos of nothing, is there a way to verify since when #BambuLab has been blocking @internetarchive ?
It appears to apply to all of *.bambulab.com
Try it for yourself: web.archive.org/web/2025000000…
I have never seen this in my life.
I can think of very few things that are less trustworthy than blocking @internetarchive
Anyway, archive.is exists, so I did a thing:
* archive.is/NAIsu
* archive.is/fjmTe

in reply to Richard "RichiH" Hartmann • • •I randomly stumbled across the answer why #BambuLab #3dprinting is blocking #internetarchive:
Someone on #Reddit complained about #BambuLab changing their warranty after they bought something and refusing service based on the new "terms". They used @internetarchive to prove that the change was made.
So obviously #Bambu did the right thing.. and blocked the #Internet #Archive...
It's not #enshittification if you do it from the start? :p
