For those out of the Loop, what happened?
DRM They limit who can talk what to their printers.
Most noticeably you can only send and start prints (g-code) with their own program over the network. Either bambu studio or a "cloud" gateway from BambuLab. It is no longer possible to do this from within Prusa- or OrcaSlicer.
my take:
~~ for the X1C they allow to install X1Plus firmware. The community asked for it. BambuLab allowed it back then and still does.~~ At the moment rooting an X1C isn't possible. Either it is a broken promise ("We will give customers the choice to install third party firmware and root system at their own risk.")or just a temporary issue.
BambuLab sad that this will come. Only now that they have done it, most people are starting to notice.
I hope I’m wrong but it looks like they disabled the ability to do opt into the program.
I cannot join my X1C to the program currently. It just errors out or leaves me in a CloudFlare “are you human” loop.
Interesting.

Awesome. Thanks.
To be fair, that's most likely a CloudFlair problem and not a malicious action from Bambu. CloudFlair is a curse on the internet and websites that use it should be shunned and ridiculed.
This was happening a lot yesterday but I eventually got through to opt my machine in.
