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.
