[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) What if Prusa implemented RFID roll identification? Yes of course. Any machine that has DRM on it and has the ability to kill itself when its company demands, is a piece of worthless junk. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org [S] 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) RFID isn't DRM. But let's overlook that. So the trustworthiness of the company implementing RFID doesn't matter at all to you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago* There are no trustworthy companies... The whole point of a company is to act in its own best interest. If they can sell you something that they can later utilize to extract money from you, then they will do it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] myplacedk@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) But this particular RFID has some sort of encryption-something, that means that other companies can't make them. I don't like it, but since I can still use other brands without the convenience of RFID tags, it's not a deal-breaker. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org [S] 4 points 2 years ago* But this particular RFID has some sort of encryption-something Ah right I didn't know. I thought they used plain-jane ASCII tags with some known documented format. That sucks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago I loaded third-party filament onto my spools with RFID several times and it worked fine. I have since started printing almost exclusively from a filament dryer (AMS lite works fine this way), so it doesn't matter anymore. permalink fedilink source parent
