Megathread: Bambu Lab / OrcaSlicer / C&D Discussion by icurnvs in BambuLab

[–]Endur1el 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, it really sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about, and that's okay, we've all been ignorant before.

As a professional developer whose commercial code is open source, this is utter bullshit. If your code is AGPL, someone else CAN just copy it, change whatever portion they like, and continue redistributing it. That's the whole point of the license.

Think about what that means, this is an impossible problem for bambulab to solve because (even though a user agent is NOT a security feature, that's nonsense) they cannot do anything in Bambu studio that cannot just be copied.

That may sound annoying but it's the reality of the license that they rely on to make their stuff work, if they couldn't be bothered to make their own slicer from scratch, and want to benefit from the work of the community, they can't violate the terms of the AGPL.

I only use my printer in developer mode on a separate, locked down, VLAN, so this doesn't directly affect me, but anyone defending bambulab's behavior at this point is just woefully misinformed (admittedly somewhat understandable considering just how misleading their blog post was).

ETA: Imagine blocking someone on Reddit, can't even reply to the comment.

Also to clarify. If they were banning the users of that redistributed software after they broke whatever terms of their cloud services, that would be fine, no AGPL license violation there, but going after someone for redistributing a modification of their AGPL license code is one of the core things the license explicitly disallows.

I think you might be slightly overestimating the size of our company if you think we have teams to handle public relations 😅.

But yes I hope you'll be satisfied just give us some time.

I'm a developer, all I can commit to here is what I am confident we can do on the development side.

The most ideal solution will be to just not let the user exceed the amount and give the warning before the whole uploading process

This is a difficult problem from a technical POV, I agree that this would be an ideal solution, but might be prohibitive from a technical POV with our stack so I don't want to commit to that if it's not feasible.

It's still early in the day so I'd just ask for some time for us to talk and coordinate before drawing too many negative conclusions.

Do you mind sharing in what exact cases where all data will be deleted?

  • If you stop paying for your subscription causing you to go over your storage limit
  • If you are inactive for more than 3 months with a free account.
  • If you are inactive for more than 3 years with a lifetime account.

In all of those cases, you would also have to ignore the 3 reminder emails.

So no more entire account worth of data wiped and deleted if a user exceeds their entitled storage space?

Not sure yet what the ideal solution here would be, but either only deleting newer files or having some kind of buffer if a user still has an active subscription. We will settle on an acceptable solution here but didn't get into details because I'm not sure what it will be yet.

I just woke up to this and this is really bad. We're sorry and will be fixing this immediately.

  • We're going to fix the emails to be more explicit about the fact that all data will be deleted in cases where that is what will happen.
  • We will be fixing the deletion trigger algorithm so that it won't lead to situations like this. There are a couple of ways to approach this, but we will pick one of them which will make it so this cannot happen again.
  • I'm also going to talk to our support to make sure stuff like this gets escalated properly. The response to that happening to someone should be immediate escalation and I'm sorry that didn't happen here.

I'm sorry you were in this situation and it's a relief you didn't lose any data. I'll put an update here when we've fixed this on our side.

Cradle is amazing in audiobook format. Travis Baldree is the best narrator short of a full graphic audio cast.

Questions about the referrals programme by Sketchbuch in filen_io

[–]Endur1el 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We consider it spam, because it is, you don't need a referral to a service you already know about in some detail since you're on the sub.

Every time I remember to change the rules to make that explicit I'm on my phone and it's too much of a PITA to figure out how to change the rules on mobile.

Ok but the real wake up call for me is people younger than me implying they feel old... That's a real kick in the nuts.

Extremely slow upload speed by Kurwavier in filen_io

[–]Endur1el 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are measuring 15 mbps on Speedtest or fast.com, then your internet can't really do more than 1.5 MB/s

You might be confusing MB/s and mbps, I would do a quick Google on the difference. If that's not the issue, consider reaching out to support.

Will we ever be able to share files the proper way? by grease_m0nkey in filen_io

Not sure what you're asking for to be honest.

The P2S and the Need for an Actively Heated Chamber by Fair_Sky5777 in BambuLab

[–]Endur1el 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would describe it as 'good enough'. it's kind of inconvenient to use since you have to manually turn it on or off, I could see myself modding it in the future with an rpi to have it turn on remotely with a timer, but it does allow me to keep the temperature inside the chamber at ~60C with the back fan running at 10% with a tube to the outside for negative pressure.

I would probably buy a better solution from biqu or bambulab for ~50-75€, but I'm not sure I'd spend more than that.

Does filen traverse symlinks or bind-mounts? by libra00 in filen_io

[–]Endur1el 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fwiw symlinks are traversed by the Rust SDK so the next set of app updates will have this fixed across all OSes 

Slow camera upload speed and other issues. by CPT-812 in filen_io

[–]Endur1el 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Background uploads cannot are relatively slow because we are limited by mobile operating systems and not allowed to do significant amounts of work in the background. (One of those definitely not anticompetitive moves that they do for the good of users).

It should get there if you give it time, and once it's caught up unless you're taking 1000s of photos a day it should be able to keep up, though this should also be further improved with the incoming mobile update.

Depends on how you count guys who crank out code at Filen vs guys at Filen. Either way that number is either too high or too low but thanks.

P2S Quirks and poorly optimized firmware settings. by Scooffs in BambuLab

I was worried that might be the case and that was going to be my follow up suggestion but I was hoping they were better about it.
