the wording and way they said they would "have a web page" where you can unlock it made my decision easy. If I have to hope that in the future they have a website that will let me get a special code to "unlock" my printer then I dont really own it.
As soon as their announcement came out, I got a Voron 2.4, it will be my printer and no one but me gets to say when its EOL.
You're being overdramatic here
Right now you can install the custom firmware, put it in lan only mode and disable internet access.
Then no one can tell you when its EOL
This website is just because they closed the loophole in the firmware that allows flashing with a current update (you can downgrade your firmware to open it again) and to make it as clear as possible
I disagree. I like their tech, I think it’s cool how they (nearly?) managed to have an inkjet-like experience for an FDM printer. (As in, click, wait, take off print). However, I got (rightfully, though I say so myself) spooked by the news that their printers started randomly printing worldwide due to an error in their cloud services. That should just not happen. Ever.
