I tried searching for answers as to why these machines are reaching out to numerous locations despite not using PrusaConnect. Location lookup returns the expected Czech, as well as location across the US. I recently also set a friend up with with an Elegoo printer and that was expectedly noisy as hell, but I was surprised with Prusa being the ‘privacy pick’.
For those curious, here’s the logs since about midnight, it seemingly doesn’t talk during the day.

My challenge isn’t about NTP but about printer shouldn’t be able to communicate with the internet, as it has no need for it.
You said: It’s common.
Okay, cool. So is cancer.
Exactly! So why allow the printer to go past it!
Well yeah, me needing to lock down this network properly is why I ran up on this, but also being someone who hates reseting the stove clock after a power out, I wouldn’t bat my eye at NTP requests really.
