    It’s like setting up a website with a user login, and if someone puts in “admin” in the username field without a password, the system says “sounds good” and lets you in. And then the website owners getting mad that someone hacked their system.

    Blatant incompetence. I can’t believe they’re using their stupidity as an argument.

    You are right, but technically speaking it would be a crime anyway. It is not that if you leave your door open then entering without permissione is not a crime.
    While Bambu Labs obviously is trying to implement some sort of subscribtion model, and they are doing it in a bad faith way, for shitty as the authentication model is it is not an authorization to enter freely.

      Leaving the door open and people walking in isn’t a crime, unless explicitly mentioned otherwise (may vary on jurisdiction), but faking a login is a lot less denyable than using the same User-Agent as some software (famously a bad marker for authentication).

      I don’t know where you live, but leaving a door wide open is literally an invitation to “come in” And as far as I understand things correctly, it’s been like that for a few thousand years.
