@kcarruthers trying to see what he is talking about in the way back machine but it's not obvious to me. Can't anyone find what is missing and screenshot it?

So much to unpack here... and I'm not going to do it, LOL.

This encapsulates a number of reason why I don't own many "smart" devices and disable all the alexas an bixbys and whatever else they call their monitors...

@kcarruthers @internetofshit there's not a single good technical reason why smart home devices have to rely on remote servers for anything at all. Want to control the thing from outside of your home network? Get a static IP or use a dynamic DNS service, problem solved.

@kcarruthers I enjoy how the initial post simply recounts what Elon is doing, without saying it's bad. This susanbrill-person reads it, realizes it sounds bad, because it objectively is, and then goes on to call the poster a hater.

So, in her troubled mind, if you hear anything bad about Elon, you have to immediately jump through several mental hoops to find an excuse for that, otherwise you're a hater.
