It's not that it's OK, it's that not being able to repair the hardware is not the biggest issue here.

- grogenaut 9y agoI forgot, Internet discussion rule #1 we can only discuss the biggest issues. Obviously you do care about it since you responded to it. There are billions of people on the planet, they can care about different things. I care about this and the waste thereof of the leading style brand in electronics.
- rebuilder 9y agoIf you care about ability to repair, I don't think a smart speaker is the product for you. Even if you can keep the hardware in working order, the software will lose support and probably the whole design concept will morph so far that this device will not even have the user interface necessary to perform the functions of smart speakers a few generations from now. IOW: repairing this is pointless. Buy a speaker. Don't buy a speaker that is also a computer, and especially don't buy a smart speaker that fills a small niche in a large corporation's vision for how to extract maximum profit from consumers by locking them into an endless upgrade cycle
