Bambu lab a while ago came out with printers and an ecosystem that was very easy to use compared to other printers for the price. However, there were a few red flags like proprietary parts, software which required the cloud, and DRM chips in filament. Bambu lab promised they weren’t gonna exploit any of that and that they will keep their printers and ecosystem open and all the red flags were just used to aid in user experience like automatic print settings for DRM chipped filament, easy to swap parts, and cloud monitoring and notifications. Despite the promise, they’re still a corporation and thus went against their word and closed off 3rd party slicers and firmwares so you must use their cloud and their software.

You do not own the printers, Bambu does. So now you cannot install third party firmware on your Bambu 3d printer or use a different slicer. Everything you do on your Bambu printer goes through their cloud unless you take countermeasures and use old versions of software and firmware before the lockdown happened and you completely block internet access to the printers.

People saw these big red flags early on and called them out on it saying they’re gonna lock down their ecosystem later on but people kept buying into Bambulab since they were so easy to use and got amazing prints out of them.

Tl;Dr, Bambulab released printers and software that were so easy to use for the price but came with many red flags. Bambulab ended up closing down their entire ecosystem so they have full control of the printers and you are at their mercy if you wanna keep using it.

Nintendoes if you’re brave enough

They might care if it’s 69420 since the max port number is 2^16 = 65536

MSFT? Microsoft?

So much hate for just using a few different characters

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

An absolute emotional rollercoaster start to end.

33/33 would recommend

LaurieWired has good content. She does lots of computer science/history related content which is really interesting

Seven books are £5.00

Maybe it could’ve been “Yeah the booze. Purge the snacks. Keep that’s handy”

The energy:

Still surprised it’s worth $200. I thought it’d be worth a few cents or maybe a few dollars at most

Heavily modded Kerbal Space Program. It’s so relaxing building rockets and going on complex interplanetary missions for science

The perfect dust

Also, make sure to be generic. Choose cheap, common clothing that won’t stick out

Extra bonus points if both the correct and misspelt ones are both used but in similar but different ways

Another weird UHT enjoyer here. If it weren’t so expensive where I’m at then I’d be having it more often

:(
