This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'd rather just have an ethernet port on the damn printer. You shouldn't have to cludge together basic network device functionality on devices that expensive
I like my simple one. I can do all kinds of hacky bullshit to make it do whatever I want. When you start introducing more things like Wi-Fi/ethernet you start getting locked in to their ecosystem. Which I guess is fine for a lot of people who don't mind that but I can hook mine up to a laptop or pi if I want to add networking to it.
It's better to just install klipper on a pi or other SBC
At least my 3d printer was so inexpensive it's silly.
I'm pretty happy that the engineering team that built it doesn't need to worry about networking code and maintaining a networked device. Jappy that an open source community does it instead.
