Updates and Third-Party Integration with Bambu Connect
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.

Making Awesome 166 - Bambu Lab, Segment about Bambu and decrypted Bambu Logs.
Apparently some group has broken Bambus encryption. Apparently, as he claims, the logs reveal not only (further) licensing issues with Bambu, they also apparently send the complete Model you want to print to Bambu, which would be a huge issue for any companies using them. What do you think? Anyone ever checked on the size of the logs? Does it make sense that they actually send the whole Model?
Tesla shows Optimus Gen 2 on Nitter
I’ve just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it’s quite interesting. The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it’s a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics). Very curious to see if they just did the “easy” 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly. Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point. what do we think the runtime of these is untethered? If they have a full AI stack in them, won’t they need quite a bit of compute power?
Modern Amazfit Smartwatches can respect Privacy with Gadgetbridge!
Hey there, I’ve been on the hunt to get a few more and better sensors on my wrist, without having to send them to someone else as well. As it took me quite a while to realize this, I decided to maybe make this information a bit more discoverable. The Open Source App Gadgetbridge is a replacement companion App for smartwatches. As it explicitly does not use any Permission for networking, it cannot communicate any of it’s data via network. As there is no official support from any of the larger manufacturers, it’s support is somewhat limited, but as I realized now, Amazfit Smartwatches all apparently use the same ZeppOS, and ZeppOS is supported by Gadgetbridge! There are some limitations, for example DND sync from watch to phone is a work in progress, and SPO2 data isn’t synced yet either, but I guess some of the people here might be willing to make that sacrifice.

Seems like a rather expensive mistake to make.
Wonder if it was a design issue, or operator error.

is masscoin.vip a scam?
Hey there. All my scam-alarmbells are ringing, but I’d like to have a little perspective because I never got into trading with crypto at all. A friend of mine apparently put about $70k in different crypto into masscoin.vip Then there seem to have been some hijinx with mistyped adresses, and talks with support later, masscoin.vip representatives tell my friend, that they need to fork over another 10% of their holdings, so another $7k, to validate their account or something. This has to be a scam, right? The Money is gone, and since it was put in via crypto there is no way to recover it?
