Bookmarked. Though I guess it comes down to an „I can return my printer and get a full or partial refund“? Which, as long as no good alternative presents itself, doesn’t help me.
I know we don’t want to talk alternatives here, but that might still be an interesting discussion to have, once we get there.
You’d get a pious, stating that someone paid 1.99 to turn your camera an. For just 5.99 you can make sure it stays off.
This could also be implemented as a bidding war like eBay.
Ryan started the fire!
Dual mouse mode sounds interesting…
I understood that reference.
Funny…
Nur wenn du dir Mühe gibst. 50% reichen bestimmt auch.
Hm… like some „press button in printer now to initiate key exchange“? Sounds like a good idea, and pretty straightforward. I like it.
Like I said, I’m just playing devils advocate to understand the full picture better.
The LAN being secure might not be an issue for you and me, but the average user might not be so skilled. Though I understand your point that LAN security should not be Bambu‘s concern.
Regarding your NFT argument: I agree this is a valid concern, especially with the proxy being able to see everything sent to the printer. Though I hope the dev mode they promised would be enough to avoid that for now.
But don't they currently allow local connections and also use them if the printer is running in cloud mode? I would assume if the printer can be "seen" by your machine locally, Bambu Studio would connect locally for some of its data transfer? Regardless of printer configuration (LAN only or Cloud) it still has its local ports open, which currently can be used by e.g. Home Assistant without any cloud connection. This is nice, but at the same time can be a security risk, as any local malware might also send commands. So a way to secure the local connections is definitely needed.
API keys would be nice for any type of connection, but it's something they'd need to implement, including a way to request/revoke them from either your Bambu account (cloud again, not preferred by the open source community) or directly from the printer (might be a hassle to use with the P1S' small screen). Instead they decided to go full-throttle by using some form of certificate authentication, possibly using per-device and per-account certs in the future, that might be generated locally and signed by their endpoints using your Bambu account.
