What prevents you from already selling an appliance that stops working, certificate or not, after the warranty expires? Sounds more like a lawsuit than recurring revenue to me.
- esrauch 9y agoIt seems that if something stops working for a "legitimate" technical reason (like, your camera stops working because of no server access, even though you only ever used the camera on you lan anyway) the customer can't win the lawsuit.

That sounds malicious -- whereas having it no longer work after the certificate expires sounds like security, and everyone likes security. With enough PR, you can string together something that sounds like a legitimate concern, like "with privacy being a major concern, encryption has progressed leaps and bounds past what we had two years ago -- so even if we were to renew the certificates, we simply do not think our customers' data would be safe when handled by these old devices."
- na85 9y agoThe most chilling part is the casual way that data is discussed, because the consumer of the future will be okay with their refrigerator gathering data to drive advertising profit. Dystopia.
