The GamersNexus arc is such a YouTube success story: from a dude uploading videos, to superbly rigorous methodology in top tier hardware reviews, to occasional news summaries, to journalistic longforms, to straight up advocacy, and somehow back to a humble written tech site.

It’s like a tech Benjamin Button story. Thanks, Steve!

...oh heck, I can't handle it anymore, take my money already.

Looks like Bambu wants to speedrun to being the (modern) HP of 3D printing.
I hate when companies start issuing legal threats against OSS software; was planning on buying a 3D printer for my kids. I don't know what brand I'll buy yet, but I now know which brand I will _not_ buy.
> From everything we’ve seen, Pawel’s code is a legal third-party tool that is covered under open source software licensing, and in no way has he “impersonated” Bambu Labs or presented as them at any point.

The name of the software literally has "BambuLabs" in it. Not picking sides, but that's pretty dumb.

Also cease and desist are "easy" to handle, just host your code on a European git hoster or host your own gitlab/codeberg. That USA law doesn't affect EU platforms.

Okay, but that’s an easily resolvable trademark issue. That’s not what they are challenging.
