Hey, you, read those "Privacy Policy" notices on ALL hardware, software, device, vehicle, e-bike, anything you buy. Read them now. Look at this shit. Know what telemetry radios are within the device and what they will do when powered up.

This is a picture of a new 3D printer. Know what it's saying? It also has two cameras. Everything you own, everything you see, their servers. It goes on and hopefully it won't ask about any illegal genders in this room or down the hall. Read this shit and plan your disposition accordingly.

I am going to sandbox this entire printer, software, and email alias unto its own VPN. Will I be allowed to use this device in Greenland? Let's find out!

@dianea @FeloniousPunk I'd just return it, demand a refund, #NameThemBlameThem and buy something privacy-respecting like a Creality Ender!

@[email protected] I refuse to buy such garbage and demand not only a refund but consider forwarding such illegalvterms.to cinsumer protection. - Since these wefe not disclosed in full in written form on the packaging before buying, they are illegal anyway.

Fortunately, this device can be used air-gapped with a USB stick or firewalled, using standard FOSS software, such as Cura. The Arch Linux AUR has a copy of the Creality Print software too.

@dianea @kkarhan Key words: “can be”. Laziness is a hell of an enabler.

@dianea @FeloniousPunk I'd mandate that my shit works without any internet connectivity out of the box.

  • If it doesn't then I won't buy it!
