Article note: Again, more aggressively, and there was no press in the west?!
The depersonalized identity politic token fawning juxtaposed with whining about depersonalized political tokenism in the article is ...weird... but the whole situation is extremely distressing.
Article note: Yeah, that's a big fuckup about something the community is skeptical of them about.
I've played with an X1Cs, they're _superb_ printers with well-thought-out kinematics, the most reliable filament changer on the market by a considerable margin, some amazing feedback-driven harmonic management, are super fast ... and contain an unfortunate amount of proprietary parts/software and unwanted connectivity.
I think I'd do a Voron Trident (kit) if I decided I needed a higher performance printer right now, it has similar kinematics (I'm weakly convinced CoreXY over Z bed is better than CoreXY on flying gantry) but is open source all the way down.

When owners of Bambu’s extremely well-regarded 3D printers woke up on August 15th, some found their printer had gone rogue.
Some woke up to failed prints. Some found a second copy of a previous print. And at least a few found their Bambu X1C or P1P had started smacking itself apart — damaging components — while trying to print a second copy atop the object they’d actually asked for.
Ok so this is a bit concerning, I have zero clue how their system is setup (yay proprietary closed source) but it looks like a disruption in Bambulab`s cloud service cause a whole bunch of peoples printers to just.....start printing last night. pic.twitter.com/Sqbk9zmc60
Article note: Cohesive accessible documentation about doing things across the PL-PS ("Programmable Logic-Processing System" Xilinx for FPGA-Hard Processor) boundary is hard to come by. This is a nice all-in-one example that at least covers all the shit involved in plumbing an IIC interface through Vivado and PetaLinux into user space on a Zynq.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
