What? Prusa used to be the most open company out there. I can't believe they are going to enshittify their products now.
Anyway, I have a Bambu, and it is a nice printer, but it wants to phone home and it is difficult to use when you put it behind a firewall.
Prusa is getting tired of investing R&D and then having someone else copy that. Someone else without an R&D budget can make things cheaper because they don't have that budget.
They are most tired of investing in R&D in the open and then having some company do a patent in their country. The company then sues them for infringement.
That's sad. But how does that affect me as a potential customer?
You no longer get OSS offering.
Put the Bambu in LAN mode, it won't phone home, everything stays local.
