I bought a Bambu Lab printer recently, and made the decision that if I did connect it to LAN, I'd make damn sure that it did not have an Internet connection, even though there is a LAN mode toggle in the firmware it shipped with. Although I am definitely paranoid about Internet-of-Shit bait'n'switch techniques, at the time I was mostly thinking in terms of geopolitical bullshit rather than capitalistic shenanigans. No particular reason to distrust Bambu Lab themselves at the time, at least more than any other company. Obviously, hingsight is 20:20, but it's just a reminder: your cynicism is warranted. Don't trust anyone any more than you absolutely have to.
