tl;dr: “Fuck You, we’re right, but here’s a crumb from the table” but in PR-speak.

There’ll be a Lan-Mode (still requiring Bambu Connect), and a Dev-Mode (which will continue MQTT, live steam and FTP).

The Writing continues to be on the wall.

    It does not brick anything, you can still use dev mode and so everything you are used to, except using their cloud.

      They claim so. While their TOS say something else. Legally speaking the TOS are what counts.

        Shit like that is in EVERY ToS ever created. Steam can shut you off for any reason. PlayStation can shut you out. Meta can wave a hand and you day goodbye to your accounts. If you don’t want to update then disconnect from the internet and use dev mode. Which they have provided. Problem solved.

      Not the same as one does include working in offline mode,your examples do not. Legally they are not the same. Neither is the developer mode comparable with the current feature set.
