@kcarruthers @internetofshit I think this brings up all kinds of questions about the nature of property rights and what ownership means. He (and everyone with smart devices) doesn’t have the property rights he thinks he does. This is adjacent to questions about right to repair, and those printers that become bricks.

@IcooIey @kcarruthers @internetofshit If you buy these devices you give up a lot of control - not for me

@IcooIey @kcarruthers @internetofshit These devices require an internet connection because very little processing happens inside the device. Mostly they just exist to send audio to Amazon, where it is then analyzed and acted upon. Property rights don't cover access to online services.
