I wouldn't buy a new Bambu now. But the one I have has a LAN only option, and i assume it will keep it as long as I don't upgrade my firmware.

I don't see how they would disable my printer without updating firmware. Maybe I should block all internet communication just to be sure.

You should definitely block it from having internet access. I don't see any way how they'd prevent us from printing when not on the latest firmware if it can't phone home.
