Don’t buy “smart” cloud-connected appliances, ever. Even if they don’t start trying to charge for shit like this, eventually the service will go offline breaking the product. (should we call this forced obselescence, somewhat different from planned obsolescence?)
We need more buyer demand for “dumb” appliances. Vote with your wallet.
I like it. I’m going to start calling it that now. Why are we tiptoing around their corporate feelings? They forcing these things to become obsolete in contravention of what is best for the consumer.
