Stumbled on this Elegoo non compliance on Reddit 😳 Let me check what community designed patent applications they have 🤔 (I wrote about gov sanctioned patent bombing, link in second post) But then I stumbled on the page footnote 🤯 "A related but separate network traffic issue was discovered where the Centauri Carbon generates excessive data usage (70GB+ per month while idle)." CCP holds equity in Elegoo via two funds, just saying ....
