Actually, isn't this the optimal outcome? The new "security" features are now optional for those who want them. Everyone else can choose developer mode, has all the old features and is responsible for securing their network. We could argue if opt-in or opt-out is better but I see the argument for having "security" features enabled by default.
Except using developer mode means you trade away support. Why pay all that money for a bambu if you’re not going to get support? Might as well build your own printer at that point if you’re going to have to problem solve all the issues yourself anyway
Also “This is beta testing, not a forced update”
Beta implies that at some point this will no longer be beta and will a mandatory update.
They’re testing the waters, thankfully the pushback may have them reconsidering. It probably just has them reconsidering the rollout/timing though. they may do something like Philips did with hue: announce the cloud integration into a product that did not require an internet connection or cloud integration for over a decade, get a bunch of backlash, then not implement the cloud part while the heat dies off while still fully intending to do so. The hue cloud was announced as a mandatory change in September of 2023 and still hasn’t been implemented but there is a reminder with each app update reminding you it’s eventually going to be necessary if you have not done it yet.
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:
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.
