Expect more of this kind of thing in the ‘ai revolution’.
Lol yea:
Andrew Gwin, a father who bought the Snoo, told the Times he likened the new pay structure to having to shell out extra to use an iPhone’s camera or a car’s radio.
Won’t take long. One company will do it then they all will. They already want to get rid of net neutrality.
Don’t buy products that require subscriptions for hardware you already bought
This applies to cars as well
I would like to see a legally mandated neon sticker informing customers if something needs an account and/or subscription to use the product.
While I agree, companies collude and soon we have no options.
Moreover, companies often unilaterally decide to cripple something you already have a paywall it after the fact (case in point, this garbage bassinet)
This is where regulation should come in and make this shit illegal
How long before some custom firmware is written for the device to activate all the paywalled features?
Still people are getting it.
Oh look. Another soulless MBA ruining a half decent product
