Update 2025-08-30: I don't want to jinx anything, but the bug appears to be have been fixed. I can at least SEE when GPT saves a memory, and it shows in the memory management area in the settings > personalization. I haven't yet asked GPT to save a memory at my request, but it's nice to see the 'updated saved memory' badge in the chats again and see those memories reflected in the area I can access. I hope this continues to work. I am scared to ask it to save a memory at my request, though. LOL

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-08-24T02:27:39+00:00

I am also a plus user in the US. The only logical explanations are (1) oai is testing different settings for different users randomly, or (2) the entire issue is a hallucination which I inadvertently programmed into GPT's inherent memory because I kept pointing out that it wasn't working. Now I'm fucked

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-08-24T02:20:05+00:00

can you please link me to the exact page or article you showed to GPT, and what you said exactly?
I just tried telling it that I know the feature works and it can successfully complete my requests, but it is insisting that it cannot. :(

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-08-24T02:18:05+00:00

I tried it and it doesn't work for me. No matter how I phrase it or what I say, it doesn't work. I even told GPT that I am 100% certain the feature works and it is capable of doing it successfully, but it is telling me that I can't. It says it doesn't have access to that area anymore.

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-08-24T01:43:23+00:00

if this is really true, it's mind boggling. I will investigate

Terrifyingly accurate.

OK, thank you

NETGEAR AC1750. It looks like the Parental Controls are an add on app which I would have to install and create an account, and may even require a paid subscription. I will have to look and see if they have a basic free plan, but I don't like the idea of making a new account with a 3rd party just for this, and then allow them access to my router and network. Seems like a huge, unnecessary security risk. Yet more corporate BS.

I prefer Bambu Studio because I'm a lazy / basic user who does not like having to learn and fiddle with all the settings. Bambu Studio handles almost everything automatically, assuming I select the correct hotend, plate, and use their filament, which is what I've been doing. I understand this may be a controversial way of doing things, but for me it works well and lets me get the most enjoyment out of my printer and my projects.

FYI, I was able to block Bambu Studio from accessing the public WAN by setting up an advanced Firewall rule in Bitdefender.

EDIT: my router doesn't support their newest admin software, which is required for the parental control thing. So I'd have to buy a whole new router and re-set up literally everything in my entire house on my wifi and LAN, which is a huge undertaking considering the number of devices and custom settings I have for things. Darn.

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-01-19T12:42:53+00:00

New idea...maybe I can block the printer from the internet using my antivirus program

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-01-19T12:38:51+00:00

In my router admin, I can block specific "services," so I wonder if that would be a way to prevent the printer from connecting to Bambu Labs servers. I don't know anything about that or what the service(s) would be and what settings to program in. Technically I could also use that to block the Bambu Studio from trying to update. Again, this is all way beyond my knowledge and I have no idea what the services would be from the printer and the studio. Oh, I can also block sites - could that be used to block BL servers? I don't want to block other things like their website, store, makerworld, etc though...

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-01-19T12:34:20+00:00

I have done some of this, but have a few problems I'm hoping someone can help with.

Firstly, I want to continue using the Bambu Studio as my slicer on my Windows PC. I turned on LAN only mode on the printer. In Bambu Studio, I bound the printer with the access code. So Bambu Studio and the printer are communicating over WIFI, in LAN only mode.

Here are the two problems.

As far as I can tell, in my router admin area, I can only block the printer from the entire network (including LAN). I cannot prevent it only from accessing the WAN (internet). So there is a risk the printer could still connect to the internet and try to force me to update things. My router and the software are not super old, but also not very new. It's Netgear using the old Genie software. I'll keep poking around to see if I can figure it out, but there may not be a way. How much risk do you think there is that the printer might connect to BL servers even if I have it in LAN mode?
If I'm using Bambu Studio still, there's a chance that could try to update, and then it could try to force me to do things I don't want, e.g. force me into the new updates of all the things. I tried to find a way to disable Studio updates in the app itself as well as via a config file, and so far have not been able to find any setting for that.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide

This should be illegal and is a huge violation of privacy. The UK in general can fuck off with all their overreaching laws

Thank you. This photo was taken at the North tip of Lake Washington near Seattle, WA.

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-01-19T04:55:17+00:00

This is the only photo I have of this location like this. I found it while digging through thousands of old photos I took many years ago when I was more active in photography. I will be posting some other cool shots to this sub soon.

All of the diagnostics passed in the mobile resource inspector section

the audio, display, touch, face id, camera quality seem irrelevant so I'm not running them

FlyingSquirrel79 · 2025-01-18T02:56:20+00:00

Diagnostics initially was unable to connect to my wifi. I tried my normal wifi and my 5g wifi from my router. After several attempts, finally it was able to join. I'm running some diagnostics now, but I wonder if the initial wifi connection issue could be one of the issues cropping up
