This is a good example, why not all devices should be connected to foreign servers. Errors can happen everywhere. But it could end badly, if some Corporations make errors and creating trouble, which would otherwise not happen.
In the case of the 3D-printer it is not that bad (except it destroys itself or even gets on fire), also you can turn it off. But imagine a smart stove top that lights up a towel (or something similar) while nobody is home.
Not, that I think that it is not useful to have something like that, but wouldn’t it be nice, if that stuff would work locally? (with the WireGuard integration in modems, the access from outside of home with the smartphone, should also be no problem for non-tech people)
Thats true. I assumed that the bamboo Labs printer has some kind of thermal shutdown / overheating protection.
But i guess that is not enough. They should also habe a fire detection. Something like a smoke detector (optional would also be fine)
My printer got one installed above (but this one is because i fear that my PSU is catching fire xD )
