"Do you guys not have phones?" Buddy, we're not even talking about the same thing. You're not even in the same universe as my concerns.
But anyway, if Bambu was REALLY concerned about security, they would be reducing the attack surface of the printer. Step one would be eliminating the hard requirement of connecting to the internet. Anything that connects to the internet is infinitely more vulnerable than things that do not connect to the internet. *gestures at all the compromised IoT devices*
"Other devices on your network may be compromised," is not a real problem for them to solve, beyond making sure that the printer is secure by default, and users can secure their printer locally. Honestly, if other devices on my network are compromised, I probably have WAY bigger problems than my printer being compromised. More importantly, the likelihood of one of my other network devices being compromised in a way that takes control of my printer is WAY less than the likelihood of THEIR servers being compromised, and half the point of compromising their servers would be to take control of my (and everyone's) printer.
However, the engineering solution of reducing the attack surface likely conflicts with their business plan cooked up by the managerial side of the business: if we get everyone stuck on cloud, we can then charge them every month for cloud. Subscriptions are nearly always the reason for centralizing functionality like this.
I guess they could also be violating user privacy for profit. Can't wait for Bambu's "AI that makes 3d print models for you" that generates non-Euclidian print files.
