The moment the article says that a malicious UPS firmware could gain root access in the machine I stopped reading, not that my expectations were higher than a razor blade.

I use freshrss and fluent reader as android client app

It'd be a good idea to post it to one of the websites that host 3d printing models (thingiverse, printables and so on) with a license so more people will have access to it. Good model and now I want one of these just because :)

Except that if they pull this off, guess who also will be able to run? Obama.

To comment on one of your points, something that gets lost when people learn about open source (at least most traditional licenses): nobody can change the license of something that was released so you have the option to fix it yourself or hire someone else to do it for you. While it's incredibly powerful thing to have, many people only look at open source as "free (as in beer) stuff with free support". Thing is, even if there's no chance in earth you'll fix it yourself, it's likely someone out there who's in the same situation will do it and make available for others. Key here is having popular and open enough hardware that people can replace or the software completely or keep its development (if open).

As open source printers go, you can always use the parts to convert it to a different printer but that requires tinkering. Perhaps this move will piss off enough some Bambu users that they'll make the switch away from the "I just want something that works" mindset into tinkers.

I wish. Actually I've seen some bitching turning the drop in democratic votes as "clear evidence" of 2020 cheating. That and conspiracy theories because Biden has been incredibly sharper after the debate (as in it was a conspiracy to take him out). It's hard to fight to not live in a bubble but holy crap the trumpettes and russian bots are very annoying.

I'm sure nothing that is happening has to do with Biden's plan on taxing harder the 1%...

I believe the same. Want it or not, Trump has the charisma that nobody else in the party does. And the luck. My only hope to stop the madness was to have Trump losing the election then dropping dead by natural causes after. That'd be safest way to take all his followers out of the spell. I really don't see any other way for his cult to end. Then the right wing extremists go back to hate in their closets and, if democrats are smart, keep having more moderate candidates like Biden and reign the extreme left as well.
