    I think you missed the bus.

    I’d rather not reward manufacturers that include that just to raise the price

    Cool cool, you do you homie

    and track and sell your data with my money.

    If you didn’t connect the device to the internet… Then… There is no “data”

    This isn’t a difficult concept. The device didn’t ship with your WiFi broadcast ID and password preset in the firmware. Are you saying that the product has a sim card that will just relay info back regardless of whether or not you connect it? And the manufacturer is cool just paying for this connection? What “data”???

    Yet again, don’t willingly and intentionally connect it to anything that has access to the internet. JFC, is it really that abstract of a concept that confounds all others? I don’t think I needed to be told this. It’s the very definition of self-evident.

    What the absolute fuck is happening? Did everyone eat brain tumors for breakfast?
