They used to have a lan only mode. Now the lan only mode requires authorization from Bambu before you are allowed to print. They also said that to ensure security, they will eventually disable printing if you don’t upgrade to this firmware.
A blog post is not a terms of service agreement. You are in for a world of hurt if you continue to believe that what a company says and what is written in the terms are equal. This ain’t just about Bambu and is an extremely common source of confusion, which is the point.

It’s a big deal.
Not in the loop, but based on what you wrote, it sounds like a bad idea. Like needing to ask for permission to print. Wtf.
This is blatantly false. Please read what the company themselves have stated, not what you keep reading in rage posts. https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/

Your source is… The company itself!?
Did you hear? Tobacco companies say their products don’t cause cancer, and are an excellent stress-reliever!
