Oh, I think they're communicating just fine. They're signalling the direction they plan to take and it's not a good one.

It could, but I don't think there would be any benefit. The key thing this does is make walls a bit closer to the theoretical perfect solid structure.
Not as drastic as I had hoped, but it looks like around 5% better layer adhesion provided you increase the flow rate slightly to fit in the gaps. It essentially makes a print that's more solid in the walls.
I saw elsewhere someone doing prints with transparent filament and they were also getting optically better prints with this.
Also, there's a pull request on Orca... Not sure when it'll come out, but they're working on building it into the slicer.
Their big defense seems to be, "We haven't even done anything yet."
Sorry Bambu, but you're late to the enshittification game. Setting up a situation where you CAN do these things is a Chekhov gun: sooner or later, we know you'll put them to use.
There's already a project to retrofit klipper hardware.

I'm unconcerned. I knew what I was getting into with a walled garden ecosystem, and though I didn't expect them to dive straight into the enshittification deep end, I figures they would eventually do something fairly shady. The real question is how long it will take to release the first X1C-Klipper refit.
Hydroponic Saffron sounds like the name of a jam band of some kind...
I keep meaning to start some saffron crocuses. Good to know they aren't fans of indoor growing.
"Double shot of espresso with a side of racism please..."
I mean, it's impressively ornate and academically fascinating, but also absolutely horrifying.
I got busy with other things and forgot to order.🤷🏼♂️ Watching the video right now, just out of curiosity. I'm just happy to see decaf being taken seriously. I often would love a cup of coffee after dinner without spoiling my night's sleep.
Seriously, grinder first. You can use a better grinder with your Aeropress and French Press l, and you won't waste as much time making bad espresso when you do get a machine.
If you're mechanical, watch Craigslist and marketplace: I once got a broken Rancillio Silvia for free. It needed serious repairs, but I don't have $100 in parts in it and it works perfectly now.
Late stage capitalism has murdered satire.
Yeah, mostly because of the entire tech industry for the last decade. I've gad every ounce of trust incinerated.
