Oh Logins are horrible. For example. I have a 3D printer, it’s connected to my LAN. The software to use it, however, requires to a login to connected to this local device. This already sucks, the worst is that me and my wife both use this printer on our own computer and each time she uses it, I’m required to login again after she’s done.
I hate this, because this shouldn’t be the case for a local device, secondly every service has different requirements for the password policy, thirdly the app doesn’t remember the password, fourthly, neither do I.
Prusa still let’s me sneakernet the print file to it, it’ll do it over the LAN, but USB is faster. I’m the only one who uses it, but I’m pretty sure since they’re focused on user experience it wouldn’t be onerous
M5 needs the printer logged into their server, needs the user authenticated and has no USB slot
