Yeah after reading about this I feel like this is nothing. Is it weird that the logs include stuff like sensor data of your printer? Or that they send the model? Isn’t that the entire point of the help function and logging.
The open-source copyright violations are an issue though, should those be factual.

I don’t think it’s necesarrily nothing, as sending all of that data is so comprehensive it should be communicated clearly by bambu, and it seems (but I don’t know!) That it isn’t.
Sometimes you might want/need help and don’t want to send everything.
For a lot of stuff partial gcode / sensor data around the issue should suffice for example.
But it sounded way worse before the clarification, when I understood that it was sending those logs all the time.
The open source license issues will be interesting, but probably irrelevant. We already can be rather sure that they already are in violation with BambuStudio and no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it.

Sure yes I agree that it is shady and weird that they just don’t say what data is being sent. Not really sure why they don’t.
It’s not that the data being sent is like too much or too in detail (though maybe WiFi ssid is unnecessary), it’s just that the company is weirdly not being upfront about this.
