If you were buying Bambu you already didn't care about this
I care. I bought Bambu anyway, because there's a LAN only option. I enabled it today. I am also not going to upgrade firmware.
I've been considering a Bambu until today. From what I learned today, there is no Lan only option. It now must connect to their servers to let you print. They also said they will disable your ability to print if you don't upgrade the firmware.
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.
