    We want to make it absolutely clear that all of these claims are entirely false:
     * Bambu Lab will remotely disable your printer ("brick" it).
     * Firmware updates will block your printer’s ability to print.
  

  I wonder why they added this to the TOS then:

    Due to the importance of these updates, your product may block new print job [sic] before the updates is [sic] installed
  

  Either way, I'm happy to see that they did listen and returned the original LAN mode (but under a new name).
