I am simply putting forth the argument that this is a matter of TOS and we all agreed to it. It’s sad nowadays that to take a side means you’re a shill, fanboi, or similar. My opinions are my own, based on experience. Thanks, I would have thought you knew better.
As I told him, it is your property. Feel free to root it, install your own firmware and have a ball. Nothing but knowledge stopping you.
However it’s their software that controls the printer as is, and as is you agreed to the stipulations they put forth. You (or I) don’t have to like it, but that’s what it is, and it should be accepted. Now if you want to fight it, then go ahead, but please don’t act like you guys are victims here.
Unless you are willing to admit you signed your own warrant.
They did, the TOS.
BL is not the first company to do such a thing nor will it be the last. Be glad it’s a printer and not a tractor.
Again, my comments are based on the victimhood that runs rampant through this thread. None of you are victims, none of you have been short changed or blindsided. Hell, even BL gave you warning in the blog post when the X1 custom firmware thing launched. They told us all that it may cease to work. They told BTT that the Panda Touch may cease to work. It wasn’t a secret.
They’re sandbox, their toys.
