JPEG XL and the Pareto Front
>I don't believe QOI will ever have any sort of real-world practical use
Prusa (the 3d printer maker) seems to think otherwise: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/releases/tag...

Why Prusa is floundering, and how you can avoid their fate
https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy
Not open source? Odd, as I just read it's source code. Are you referring to licensing, ability to modify and compile yourself, or some else?

Random Movement in X,Y axis in middle of print after firmware upgrade to 5.0 RC
Did you use Prusa Link/Connect to upload the gcode? If so it looks similar to an issue reported by others where the gcode is getting corrupted. You can try putting files on the USB manually and printing from that as a temporary fix. May be helpful to take a look at this reddit thread or this github issue.

Why do I get this message when I try to print with input shaper? I've updated my firmware and using the latest slicer.
Is 4.7 just the latest stable and I instead need this one?

Prusa Development Schedule =D
Wow 100%. This actually pretty bad bug has been open for months with really no input from PRUSA other than “oh, wow that sucks. We’ll …uh… look into it.” https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/2997

Would a USB-C to SD work?
If you have a spare old(ish) Android phone you can look into Octo4A. Just be sure to connect the phone via power blocked USB cable to avoid your phone charing the printer... And you need a phone you can charge and use USB host at the same time. Some allow this via split cables (Type-c dongles) or if your phone has wireless charging.

Hi, Can i use this kind of USB on my ender 3v2? or is the USB only for conenction to PC?
As the video mentions https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a :D I did need to get an adapter splitter and I only got it to work on a phone with USBC port, so nothing super old.

Octoprint times out connecting to MCU after flashing Klipper firmware on SV06. Octoprint and Klipper can recognize Marlin firmware, but everything times out after flashing Klipper firmware.
At the bottom of the first post, this is what they recommend for Octo4A
