I, too, like to add unnecessary sensors to devices which considerably increase their value, despite never using them.
- colinnordin 8y ago> The TV Meter needs to hear the TV clearly so it can work, and people watching TV will need to see the screen while they’re watching TV. And for some reason it's important that you can see the device even though the camera is turned off?
- sanbor 8y agoIt could also be that right now the camera is not used but in a future it will. It would just require updating the terms and conditions. No need to send new hardware.
- kakarot 8y agoChances are such an update will not be cognitively registered for many of these consumers, who originally read that the camera would not function when signing up for the product. It's shady as shit no matter how you slice it.
