You do realize that you lose quality with wach encode, right?

It’s not AS bad when bitrates are high, but it’s still there.

different language auto-correct really didn’t help my inborn lack of spelling, and I (apparently) didn’t even glance back to check what I wrote.

I haven’t Bhad a case which sisn’t didn’t mirror the camera bump in a long while unfortunately

I’ve always wanted to try dipping a fdm printed mini into some craft UV curing resin.

In my imagination that makes everything better ;), but I’ve never gotten around to try

Side note, basically every smart phone out there has orientation sensors, so it should be just as easy as downloading a Bubble Level app from the app store.

not when almost every phone has a camera bump, volume rockers and a power button.

i.e. no long flat sides, that still allow you to see the screen.

The Security argument doesn’t hold water when you’re pushed toward the cloud use for transmitting data over your own network cable would suffice.

Define APIs and API keys (local and cloud).
Instant safe communication, local and/or cloud.

I don’t see it this way, for multiple reasons.
If my understanding is correct, they are (imho) misleading if not lying in this post, when they say:

these claims are entirely false:

Bambu Lab will remotely disable your printer (“brick” it).
Firmware updates will block your printer’s ability to print

But they integrate a certificate which has a validity date.

Once that update is on, you’re kind of locked to their releases. Yes they now, after the backlash have realized that they are putting up the walls a bit too quick. But I do not see anything in there that says “we were wrong to do it this way” - which they are.
There is little reason to - by default - put the cloud inbetween your PC and your Printer, which may sit 2m or less apart. That never makes anything more secure.
