All of these printers can be run completely offline, although then you obviously lose any network-related features such as sending prints over the network. I know that at least the Bambu printers (and I assume most others) can also be run in LAN-only mode, where they only work with devices on the same network. In this mode you could definitely firewall them without causing issues. The main features you lose by being in LAN-only mode are the phone app and being able to access the printer from off your network.

I second this. I run an A1 on a separate IoT wifi network that doesn't have outbound connectivity and using nftables rules for forwarding can send prints from my normal network with minimal fuss.

I did have to play around and use orcaslicer to get the printer set up using the network printing and camera feed working.

The one issue I do have is that it seems I would need to connect the printer to a internet enabled Network to get firmware updates, because the firmware version I have is ironically the one before they enabled SD card updating lol.

Back to the original question, I've had this printer for about a month and have been printing virtually non-stop with very minimal complaints. Coming from an ender 3 it is absolutely night and day in terms of ease of setup and general usage.

Great post, awesome idea and implementation! Is is nice to hear about someone who recognized what they wanted work-wise and went out and found it (-:

Is it even exploitable in the real world?

Correct me if I'm wrong but you get 2 bytes of kernel data (potentially blank padding) and the same two bytes each time?

Good to find the bug regardless! I appreciated the succinct and not overly dramatic write-up. I don't think anything significant was claimed other than the fact that it is a kernel bug (which is significant in itself don't get me wrong).

I am unable to drill down on my phone right now but presumably we can figure this out for other years thanks to the visionzero plan/project. https://sfgov.org/scorecards/transportation/traffic-fataliti...

Yes I know this site only shows fatalities but I'm assuming the data is there if somebody is able to figure out the API/powerbi stuff?

Yes, that's got to be part of the explanation. What's not clear to me is why anyone gets professional credit (e.g., tenure) for publishing in a journal that is obviously bad.
buzzergfxkjkl · 2 years ago
The answer to your question is just part of the whole sad story...

Promotion committees (hopefully!) know which journals or publications are low quality. If they are unfamiliar, they generally don't have time (or inclination) to verify the paper(s) or publication itself. Especially true when it's a slightly different sub-field than their own. So it often comes down to a simple count of pubs. That's usually all the credit they need!

What's a simple example use case for this software? I understand "scheduling assistant" but what does it actually do?

Also, what's the AI component?
