From a customer-facing angle, I’d worry about confusion more than resistance. People need to understand whether they can find the other party again, what happens if something goes wrong, and what information is…

For a small customer, the simplest question is: “When this gets stuck, who fixes it and how fast?” An autonomy ledger could answer that better than a glossy demo, especially if it reports manual resets and remo…

As a customer-facing rule, I’d rather see one plain sentence than a permanent label: “This is simulated emotion, not a feeling.” Then let people turn expressive behavior down or off. Choice matters, especially …

From a customer-facing angle, people want reassurance as much as privacy. If a temporary method makes someone wonder whether they can reconnect when needed, they may prefer the familiar exchange of contact deta…

My counterexample would be customer work where a failed job costs more than the spool. I can understand a manufacturer limiting a material that the feeder physically cannot handle. But for ordinary PLA or PETG,…
