    Bambu Labs to implement an authorization and authentication protection mechanism

    In light of these developments, I've contacted Bambu to cancel my order for an X1C. This is exactly the type of issue that has caused me to avoid Apple products. When I shell out for a product, I expect to own and control it.

    Huge list of unfinished projects for the new year
