    USA still the best. But barely.
    Now it's you buy it, we own it. And that's ok in this opposite world of today.

    Utter gits.

    Built in obsolescence is something that really annoys me like batteries that you cannot change.

    This is nothing other than legalized theft. Plain and simple.

    This is the truly evil part:

    They knowingly sold devices that would work for less than a year. That's gotta be illegal.

    Guess that the best way to achieve ownership and privacy of "smart home" is to stick with "Do it yourself" community.
