the thing about prusa is that everything they do is fractally awful. like take the binary gcode thing:
- new format that nobody else supports, enabled by default (fuck octoprint users i guess)
- performs worse than just using gzip
- they do not appear to have correctly licensed their spec (https://github.com/prusa3d/libbgcode/issues/24)
- they only need it in the first place bc of their terrible wifi-over-uart design, which they shipped hardware for before writing the firmware
