  • I wish we could go back to the 90s as far as this shit is concerned.

    Just take it out of the box and it works.

    Send in a registration post card if you feel like bothering, but thats about it.

    I am so sick of everything, especially shit that has no conceivable need to be online, not only demanding an internet connection, but demanding accounts and shit too.

    Cause you know why they do it. They want to track you, harvest your data, and monetize it. Its not about selling you a good product, its about selling you a good listening device.

    • honestly this shit is so ridiculous, a fucking toothbrush wanting wifi and an account so people can spy on you even more closely than they already do, hell when it comes to regular internet services i 80% of the time nope out when they ask for an account...how do people WANT TO buy this shit 😭?

    • Exactly - it's not about selling you a product, it's about you becoming a product they can then sell to third parties.
