I've seen offices where only a few people were able to connect to the network printer and just ask people if they can print it.
Usually they've tries using flash drives but many large printers are also terrible at reading pdf files from them.
Edit: Should note that most of these people were smart and were able to follow instructions. However the big office printers can be an utter pain at times.
Yes, but those locked down gardens had the benefit of having stores built in. Most people I know prefer Steam over the Xbox store which is already on there.
I've seen the movie and read the book. The movie removes a lot of the stuff that showed how insane Tommy Wiseau actually is, including how we made his money. The movie even claims nobody knows where his money came from, while it's clearly written in the book it's based on.
A Canadian film maker created an honest documentary about it called room full of spoons, Tommy is still fighting it in courts unfortunately.
The movie is called the room, it's a "so bad it's good" movie. The guy who wrote, directed and starred in it is just so out there that the movie is baffling. You need 3-4 views in order to process the movie fully.
I actually have a server for my other needs and HA Green. Mostly since I want to run the mission critical stuff for my home on a different machine, this way if something were to go wrong with my home server it'd still keep working.
I should add that bigger esphome projects (with custom components) take up to 5 minutes to compile. But that honestly isn't too bad.
The problem is that most people aren't making RepRap printers from scratch, they're buying kits which has everything included.
Bambu makes decent gear, I don't think we want to have the only option being Chinese machines which always makes compromises to make it cheaper. And that's coming from a person who uses Chinese printers.
Don't get me wrong, the Home Assistant Green and SkyConnect dongle is great and massively makes maintenance for the regular joe easier (no pis or other hardware that loads from the SD/hardware considerations).
But some stuff in UX would have to improve, which it already is doing ofcourse.
